Chapter 16: Attempted Murder

"Sis, this little bitch is just too infuriating. You have no idea how overbearing she was just now." As Li Ji said these words, her hands continued hitting.

Li Huirong couldn't stand the sight of An Zhiyan either. She unleashed all the jealousy she felt towards her mother onto An Zhiyan.

Ever since she married into the An family, everyone was always comparing her with the previous lady of the house, in other words An Zhiyan's mother. In the end, Li Huirong was always considered not as good as her.

Later, as Li Huirong got more angry, she hit harder. Since Zhanglou was not at home, as long as she did not do it in front of him, she would be fine.

Suddenly, with a push from Li Ji, An Zhiyan was shoved into a corner. There was a small coffee table there. She couldn't avoid in time and her head collided with the coffee table.

Following that, she fainted. At the same, a lot of blood began flowing out of her head.

"Sis!" Li Ji called out to Li Huirong. This time, she was afraid.

"Sis!" Li Ji called out to Li Huirong again. "She collapsed!" She pointed to An Zhiyan lying a pool of blood and said in a trembling voice. 

When she did not get any response from Li Huirong, she repeated herself.

"Enough!" Li Huirong pushed Li Ji aside and said, "I saw it, I saw it."

"Now what do we do?" At this moment, she began to panic. At the end of the day, that girl was still brother-in-law An Zhanglou's child. If anything went wrong, they could not afford to bear the responsibility.

"It's all An Zhiyan's fault. If she wasn't so petty and grudge-bearing, we certainly wouldn't be facing this now. I just slept in her room, that's all. Why did she have to kick up such a big fuss?" At this point, Li Ji was still complaining about An Zhiyan.

"Enough!" Li Huirong waved her hand in annoyance.

"Sis, then what should we do now? Shall we call the emergency hotline? If she dies, we will be in deep trouble."

Li Ji was so frightened that she kept ranting in Li Huirong's ears.

"Enough already!" Li Huirong exclaimed loudly. Then she walked over to An Zhiyan's side, squatted down and check for her breathing. "She's still breathing!"

"That' good, that's good!" Li Ji patted her chest in relief.

"What's so good? This fellow is a pain in the ass, a thorn in my side. She is better off dead, rather than staying here all the time being an eyesore to me." With that, a glint of murderous intent flashed in Li Huirong's eyes.

"No, Sis… Watt do you mean?" 

Li Huirong did not say anything, but simply made a hand gesture slicing across the neck.

"Ah!" Li Ji cried out as she was too shocked.

Li Huirong rushed over to cover her mouth. Her graceful and luxurious clothes, with exquisite makeup, should have been a perfect appearance, but now on Li Huirong, it only appeared very sinister.

"Sis, murder is against the law!" No matter how brazen Li Ji was, she had no intention of going to jail!

"I did not kill her. We can just ignore her!" 

An Zhiyan's head was still bleeding. If she did not receive any medical attention in an hour and a half, she would definitely bleed to death. At that point, this pain the ass that Li Huirong hated so much, this thorn in her side would completely disappear from this world.

"No way, Sis. Are you sure about this?" Li Ji was the younger of the two. This was the first time she was doing something like this, and she was scared out of her wits.

Li Huirong nodded her head determinedly.

"Don't touch her first for now!" Li Huirong warned Li Ji as she went up to check on An Zhiyan.

"Right now, there are only the few of us in the house. The caretaker has taken the kids to the garden outside. There is only the nanny in the kitchen on the 1st floor. The two of us will stay here and watch her. When she has bled to death, we will pretend to be very panic-stricken. Remember, we are only putting up an act before the caretaker. Otherwise, if An Zhanglou asked about it, the suspicion will be greatest on us."

Murdering people without being discovered was the secret that made Li Huirong stand out among so many women.

However, though she had considered everything, she failed to factor in Nanny Sun's presence.

Nanny Sun, who had been out grocery shopping returned at this very moment. When Li Ji saw her coming from the 2nd floor, she became very flustered. 

"What do we do? Sis, Nanny Sun is back!"

"What do we do?"

Slap! Li Huirong gave Li Ji a slap.

One on the left cheek and one on the right. Today, Li Ji's face was an auspicious red.

"Sis!"

"Get out!"

"What?" Li Ji asked in disbelief.

"I said, get out! Then pretend to cry. When they asked you what's wrong, don't day anything. Wait until your brother-in-law comes back, then you tell him…"

After Li Huirong gave her instructions, Li Ji left the room.

After that, Li Huirong came to An Zhiyan's side and scooped some blood from the floor. From her viewpoint, she could still see the wound on An Zhiyan's head bleeding profusely.

She endured the rusty stench of the blood and rubbed An Zhiyan's blood all over her own body. Then, she heard Nanny Sun's footsteps coming upstairs.

Finally, Li Huirong, who did not quite succeed in her murder attempt, pretended to faint and fall to the floor.
