Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 45: Chapter 45 I Have a Bad Temper Chapter 45: Chapter 45 I Have a Bad Temper “Are you wondering why you can’t move?” Bai Xiao’s laughter chilled Fang Xiaoshan to the bone. What was this woman planning to do?

“Um… um…” Fang Xiaoshan tried to say something, but he could only produce indistinct “um” sounds.

Bai Mei, listening from outside, thought Fang Xiaoshan was excited, and couldn’t help feeling triumphant. “Bai Xiao, let’s see how you’ll go to college now!”

Go to college? Dream on!

She’s more like a worn-out shoe!

Sitting under the tree in the courtyard, Bai Mei waited for Fang Xiaoshan to call her in. She had already discussed the plan with Hao Fang. They were just waiting for Fang Xiaoshan to finish the deed, then Hao Fang would claim the old lady was unwell and someone needed to take her to the hospital. As soon as people arrived, Bai Mei would scream from the room, and their mission would be accomplished.

She couldn’t wait to see Bai Xiao lose her splendor.

She waited patiently.

The plan had been arranged: Bai Jianguo, Bai Shan, and Bai Zhuang had gone over to an aunt’s house in the neighboring room to chat. Such matters couldn’t involve the men; the clearer they were kept from it, the better.

Later, they would just say that Bai Xiao went to Fang Xiaoshan’s room on her own accord. Who could say anything then?

Even if Bai Xiao cried and claimed that Fang Xiaoshan forced her, it wouldn’t make sense. After all, Fang Xiaoshan had come today to finalize their engagement. There was no need for him to force her; she was legitimately his fiancée. Why would he need to coerce her?

Fang Xiaoshan should know how to explain things. Otherwise, bearing the stigma of a rapist could land him in jail. Fang Xiaoshan wouldn’t be so foolish unless he wanted to be imprisoned. The marriage between Bai Xiao and Fang Xiaoshan was settled.

Bai Mei laughed with satisfaction, her smile as resplendent as blooming flowers. Bai Xiao would never get to live glamorously in the city again, and would forever be trampled under Bai Mei’s feet.

————
Fang Xiaoshan shivered, thinking he was trembling, but in reality, not a single muscle on his body twitched. He knelt rigidly as if mummified, one knee on the edge of the bed and one hand still in a caressing posture, leaning forward slightly, yet utterly motionless.

Bai Xiao dangled a needle in front of Fang Xiaoshan.

With a sneer, Fang Xiaoshan felt his heart pound. He wanted to curse and to fight, if only he could move, but he was completely paralyzed.

“Fang Xiaoshan, if I wanted you dead, I’d just need to prick you here with this needle. I guarantee that no one, not even the police, could tell how you died. At best, they’d think it was a stroke, and strokes can be deadly quick,” Bai Xiao said as she gestured with the silver needle over Fang Xiaoshan’s body.

Fang Xiaoshan’s eyes widened with terror as he desperately tried to communicate through his gaze, pleading for mercy. He no longer found Bai Xiao beautiful but terrifying. It was probably the first time in his life he felt such fear from a woman. Panicked, his eyes darted around, hoping Bai Xiao would understand that he did not want to die. The very thought of a stroke was horrifying; he didn’t want death.

“You indulge in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. I’m sure even if you died of a stroke, no one would doubt it. So, tell me, should I let you die, or should I let you die?” In that moment, Bai Xiao truly wanted Fang Xiaoshan dead. He hadn’t spared her any beatings in their past life, and because of this scoundrel, she couldn’t carry a child past three months.

And still, her in-laws had the audacity to criticize her as a hen that couldn’t lay eggs. None of the Fang Family were good people.

But to let him die like that would be too easy for him. After the torment he put her through in the last life, and then trying to sell her to settle his gambling debts, it would be unfair to let such a man die so effortlessly, especially when the heavens had given her a chance to live anew.

Fang Xiaoshan was scared to death. Could this demonic woman really be after his life?

Bai Xiao smelled a faint scent of urine and, looking up, noticed Fang Xiaoshan had wet himself in fear.

Shaking her head, Bai Xiao thought, “Is this really a man?”

“But now I don’t want you to die anymore.”

Fang Xiaoshan tried desperately to nod, but sadly, he still couldn’t move.

“I’m going to stick a needle in you now, and you’ll be able to move, but you can’t yell or run away. Just listen to me speak honestly, and do as I say. If you understand, blink twice. If you’re not willing, then there’s no need to blink.”

Willing? Of course, I’m willing!

Fang Xiaoshan blinked his eyes desperately; only a fool wouldn’t blink!

Bai Xiao thrust a silver needle into Fang Xiaoshan’s shoulder, and Fang Xiaoshan felt his body go limp, collapsing toward the bed. Having maintained the same position for too long, he now felt as if his entire body was going to fall apart, unable to hold up any longer.

“He… ah…” Just as Fang Xiaoshan was about to cry for help, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation from the silver needle on his body, and then the voice in his mouth disappeared.

He lay there, mouth half-open, face down on the bed.

Bai Xiao’s mocking voice was right by Fang Xiaoshan’s ear, “Fang Xiaoshan, it seems you never learn your lesson. Very well, then I shall teach you how to remember.”

Fang Xiaoshan felt pain starting from the crevices of his bones, heart-wrenching pain. He thought he was rolling around on the ground, screaming and shouting, but in reality, he made no sound at all, lying there motionless.

But his body’s muscles, each one spasm-ing violently due to the pain, made Fang Xiaoshan wish he could just die on the spot, rather than lying there enduring this torture.

Bai Mei, hearing no sound from Fang Xiaoshan inside the room, scornfully pursed her lips. Could Fang Xiaoshan hurry it up a little? To think he even started making noise. She once secretly overheard her parents by the wall corner; her father, Bai Jianguo, would also exclaim when excited. Could it be that all men are like this?

It seemed Bai Xiao was finished.

“Can we talk properly now? If you sit here quietly without shouting and let me finish speaking, then I, well, won’t torment you any further. Otherwise, this pain will keep going on indefinitely, hurting every two hours; just prepare yourself to die quietly,” said Bai Xiao, without an ounce of guilt or feeling cruel.

Compared to how Fang Xiaoshan treated me in the previous life. This pain is nothing.

This time, Fang Xiaoshan blinked vigorously. Who would ever want to die such a death, dying painfully while alive?

Bai Xiao pinched the silver needle.

After this agonizing session, Fang Xiaoshan lay there completely paralyzed, not daring to move. He had a surreal feeling of having died once, and this time, he really didn’t dare to scream or even shift slightly, knowing this woman was ruthless and serious about wanting him dead.

Just with a single light touch, she had him completely subdued before he could even feel a thing. He wasn’t going to complain about having too long a life.

“Alright, call Bai Mei in later. I will put her to sleep with a needle, and you’ll know what to do after that. The scheme you intended to use on me, just keep that all for Bai Mei. I think you two are quite well-matched, and I’m willing to help you out. Of course, if the villagers come later and you try to frame me for it, then I can only marry you out of no choice.

But after marrying you, we’ll be together day and night. I have a rather bad temper, you see, and if someone doesn’t do as I wish, I tend to enjoy giving them a needle. However, I’m not sure where the next needle will go.” She said this casually.

Fang Xiaoshan shuddered, just imagining the scene where he could be pricked by a needle from the woman beside him in his sleep and then just die, possibly with a twisted mouth or crooked eye. Thinking about it, he’d rather die outright than live like that.

Best not provoke this she-demon too soon.

He nodded vigorously!
