The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

The Xiao family, known as the poorest amongst the mountaineers had just spent all their savings as dowry for a daughter-in-law, who was disfigured, dark, skinny, and mute. Mocked as the ugliest bride within miles, she eventually had enough of a life in poverty and escaped, only to fall in the hands of rogues who murdered her. When she opened her eyes again, her soul was now that of a killer's, and her disfigurement was healed while her unhealthily tanned skin was now fair as day.... And she could also talk! As she became the most beautiful bride. Villagers kept their distance from the Xiao family, claiming that they were jinxes. But despite her poverty, the bride was fortunate to have a loyal mountaineer husband who spoiled her to bits. Hence, the bride guided her husband to riches, buying farms and tending to them diligently, while starting a family to gain riches through blood and sweat.

Li Rong'er choked on his words, her facial expression turning embarrassed, yet she still spoke, "Third Young Master, I originally intended to go to the river bank to wash clothes, but to my surprise, I saw... I saw the Third Young Mistress and Li Gui together, pulling and tugging at each other. Li Gui even gave the Third Young Mistress two taels of silver. I heard Li Gui say he had already given the Third Young Mistress eight taels before."

Xiao Yuchuan's eyebrows furrowed at this, glancing at her sidelong, "Is everything you're saying true?"

"This servant speaks only the truth," she said with a trembling face, "I wouldn't dare deceive the Third Young Master even in the slightest."

"Do you know why Li Gui would give my wife silver?"

Li Rong'er shook her head, "This servant... this servant only heard Li Gui say... he must have the Third Young Mistress..." Hesitating to make the accusation worse, yet fearing Yuchuan's wrath, her words became extremely cautious.
