Qin Xi frowned and slowly approached the cave to listen to the sounds inside.

“Cangshui, do you think that fool has recovered? If he has recovered, then…”

It was a woman’s voice, tinged with worried panic.

“What are you thinking? He was still young at that time and so much time had passed. What can he remember? Don’t mention this matter again. Also, try not to appear in front of him as much as possible to prevent him from remembering anything.”

The person who spoke was a man. Qin Xi was not familiar with the voices of these two people, but it was undeniable that what they mentioned was probably related to Han Shi.

“Of course I know. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have married into Pingluo Village.”

The woman was still a little worried. “But then again, if he really recovers, will he tell everyone about us? Cangshui, you can’t let him tell anyone. Hao is your son. If others find out, how can he live in the future?”

The man was actually a little worried too.

Back then, he and his sister-in-law were having an affair in the cave. Unexpectedly, Han Shi was playing around and bumped into them. He was afraid that Han Shi would tell his family when he went back, so he struck Han Shi on the head, which caused Han Shi to be retarded.

He actually did not want to strike so hard, but in that era, doing such a shameful thing would definitely get him kicked out of the village. Should that happen, he and his sister-in-law would be finished.

But now, Han Shi did not seem to be stupid anymore, which frightened the two of them.

They were afraid that once Han Shi remembered something, not only would their families collapse, but they might even be jailed.

At the thought of this, he gritted his teeth, his eyes shining with a terrifying glint. “If we have to, we will do it again.”

The woman was shocked. “Brother-in-law, don’t tell me you want…” She did not continue, but what she was asking was self-evident.

“What else can we do? We can’t live in fear every day. Besides, if my wife finds out about what we have done, she’ll definitely kill us. Also, Hao, you don’t want Hao to never be able to lift his head up, do you?”

“But…”

“No buts. We can’t put it off any longer. We have to think of a perfect plan.”

After half a minute of silence, the woman suddenly thought of an idea and said, “Brother-in-law, why don’t we burn down the Han family?”

The man gasped. He always thought that he was already ruthless enough, but he did not expect the woman in his arms to be even more ruthless than him. That was a family of four lives. If they were caught burning down the house, they would definitely receive capital punishment.

As if seeing the man’s fear, the woman continued with a smile.

“Brother-in-law, let me finish. I heard that the Han family has become rich and bought a mountain. I will deliberately spread the rumor that there are piles of money hidden in the Han family’s house to attract thieves. When the thieves sneak into their house, we’ll set it on fire. That way, no one will suspect us.”

When the man heard her plan, his eyes lit up and he immediately felt that it was feasible. “Alright, let’s do that.”

The two of them lingered in the cave to plan out the details carefully. When they were done, they started having fun.

After Qin Xi heard their entire plan, the smile on her face widened and the ruthlessness in her eyes became stronger and stronger.

SHe thought to herself, Since you’re courting death, it would be a pity if I don’t grant you that.

She sneered and went up the mountain from the side.

On the mountain, when Han Shi saw Qin Xi return, he ran over happily with a bright smile. “Wifey, you’re finally back!”
