Chapter 400: He Daqing is poisoned and rendered mute
On the other side, there's courtyard house number 95.
In the dead of night, Sha Zhu quietly opened the door and meowed twice like a cat.
Qin Huairu immediately sat up and tiptoed out of bed: "Why are you so late?"
Sha Zhu lowered his voice: "Sister Qin, I'm afraid He Daqing is still awake, and it would be bad if we found out."
The two quickly embraced, but just as they were getting intimate, He Daqing's voice rang out: "Huai Ru, where did you go?"
Qin Huairu quickly replied, "Great...Great Qing, I'm over here by the cabinet. There are mice, and I'm chasing them away."
He Daqing asked in surprise, "What rats? We'll chase them away tomorrow. Come back and go to sleep."
Qin Huairu: "Okay, Daqing... You go to sleep first, I'll be right there."
As he spoke, he slapped Sha Zhu's mischievous hand hard.
Just then, a rat actually fell from the roof and landed right in Sha Zhu's neck.
Sha Zhu screamed in terror, "Rat! Rat!"
They frantically patted and slapped.
Qin Huairu was also startled.
He Daqing followed the sound and saw two disheveled people emerging from behind the cabinet. He was so angry that his eyes widened: "What...what are you two doing?!"
Seeing this, Qin Huairu stopped pretending and calmly straightened her clothes.
Sha Zhu was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled up his pants.
Qin Huairu looked calmly at He Daqing: "He Daqing, since you've seen it, I won't hide it from you anymore. I'm planning to be with Zhuzi."
He Daqing roared in fury, "You...you two bastards! I'm calling the police to arrest you adulterers!"
Sha Zhu turned pale with fright: "Sister Qin, what should we do?"
Qin Huairu's eyes hardened. She took out the medicine she had prepared beforehand from the cabinet, poured it into a bowl, and added water: "Pour this down his throat, and he won't be able to speak or call the police."
Sha Zhu was startled: "What is this?"
Qin Huairu: "A mute drug; once you drink it, you'll never be able to speak again."
Sha Zhu's hands were trembling: "Are we really going to do this?"
Qin Huairu said coldly, "You can choose not to do it, but if he tells everyone tomorrow, we'll both be paraded through the streets. Would you be willing to do that?"
Sha Zhu, startled, immediately nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The two men approached He Daqing step by step.
He Daqing was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly: "What are you doing? Stop it!"
Qin Huairu snatched the bowl away: "You hold him down, I'll force-feed him!"
Sha Zhu gritted his teeth, rushed forward, pinned He Daqing down, tied him up, and forcibly pried open his mouth.
Qin Huairu forcefully poured the medicine down He Daqing's throat, and He Daqing struggled desperately, but he couldn't withstand the combined force of the two of them.
He drank half of the medicine and spilled the other half.
Enraged, Qin Huairu slapped He Daqing across the face: "Drink it obediently, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
He Daqing looked at the once gentle woman in front of him in disbelief, then at the trembling Sha Zhu, and felt utterly hopeless.
Qin Huairu said to Sha Zhu, "Make another bowl of soup. This time you feed him, and make sure he's completely mute. If we don't make him mute, we'll be the ones who die."
Sha Zhu thought it made sense, so he made another bowl, gritted his teeth, and poured all the medicine into He Daqing's mouth, leaving not a drop.
I waited for more than half an hour.
Qin Huairu stared at He Daqing: "Speak!"
He Daqing kept his mouth tightly shut and didn't move.
Qin Huairu raised her hand and slapped her several more times: "Speak! Tell me!"
He Daqing's eyes widened in anger, but he could only utter hoarse "ah ah" sounds, unable to say a single word.
Upon seeing this, Qin Huairu burst into laughter: "He's mute! He's really mute!"
He Daqing then realized that he was completely unable to speak, and he was so frightened that he pointed to his throat, tears streaming down his face.
Sha Zhu felt a little panicked, but Qin Huairu comforted him, "Zhu Zi, if we get together again, even if he sees us, he won't be able to say anything. We won't have to sneak around anymore. I'll even have your baby, isn't that good?"
Sha Zhu immediately nodded: "Okay, Sister Qin, it's good that you're mute."
At this moment, all moral boundaries had been crossed in the room, leaving only He Daqing with tears streaming down his face, unable to utter a sound.
After sitting for a while longer, Sha Zhu asked worriedly, "Sister Qin, what if people find out he can't speak tomorrow?"
Qin Huairu said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? Just say it's a complication. He's already paralyzed, so it's normal for him to have another ailment. If we say it like that, no one will think too much about it."
Sha Zhu was full of admiration: "Sister Qin, you really are very thoughtful."
After Sha Zhu left, Qin Huairu walked to the bedside, looked at He Daqing whose eyes were full of hatred, and slowly spoke.
"He Daqing, don't blame me. You were the one who wronged me first. Why do you think I did this?"
He Daqing looked at Qin Huairu and shook his head frantically, indicating that he knew nothing.
This sight made Qin Huairu both laugh and cry, her voice suddenly turning cold: "He Daqing, you still don't know where you went wrong? Then I'll tell you clearly today."
She stared at He Daqing, enunciating each word clearly: "Let me ask you first, how exactly did our unborn child die?"
He Daqing froze, his mouth agape, only able to utter hoarse "ah ah" sounds, unable to say a single word, just shaking his head frantically.
Qin Huairu suddenly stood up, her eyes filled with malice as she stared at him: "Don't tell me you didn't know! The night I had my miscarriage, you put abortion pills in the food you cooked for me! You killed my child with your own hands!"
"I still can't understand how you could be so cruel, to do such a terrible thing to me and the baby in my belly!"
"Later, while I was lying in the hospital, I finally figured it out. Do you suspect that the child in my belly is Sha Zhu's, which is why you can't accept him?"
"But you know perfectly well that Sha Zhu forced himself on me that time; he wasn't capable at all! You just based your wild guesses on that and got our child aborted! You're so cruel!"
"Since you ruined me, I will ruin you too."
Seeing He Daqing's shocked and bewildered expression, Qin Huairu suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears almost streamed down her face.
"He Daqing, you're still in the dark, aren't you? You were beaten into bed by none other than your good son—He Yuzhu! He personally beat you up like this!"
He Daqing's eyes widened in horror, and he struggled violently, his finger trembling as he pointed at Qin Huairu, as if he wanted to pounce on her.
Qin Huairu gently stepped back, looking down at He Daqing, who was unable to move on the bed, and smiled coldly: "Don't struggle. You're paralyzed on the bed now and can't speak. It's a waste of your energy to struggle."
He Daqing still couldn't believe that all of this was real, and he couldn't believe that the one who attacked him was Sha Zhu.
Qin Huairu coldly said, "Alright, stop gesturing nonsense. I don't understand it, and I don't want to. You'll just stay here and be your mute and your paralyzed self. When I'm in a good mood, I might give you some food; otherwise, you can just lie there and starve to death."
After these harsh words, He Daqing finally faced reality and dared not move again, his eyes filled with despair and fear.
Seeing He Daqing finally give in, Qin Huairu felt a pang of disappointment.
She turned off the light, pushed He Daqing to the side of the bed, lay down on the other side herself, closed her eyes, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
