After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

The night outside the window was deep and dark, and from time to time there could be heard the swaying sounds of branches caressing each other after being blown by the wind.

In the room, Lu Yan sat at the table with a pen in hand, seemingly reading the account books, but in fact he was busy glancing at Shen Ruoyan next to him from time to time.

"Seven retreat, three go, four advance, one enters."

The little girl whispered the mantra she heard in the afternoon, and pointed her fingers at the words on the account book one by one. The red firelight reflected on the side of her face, making her appear full of vitality and feeling a unique tranquility. warmth.

With a smile on his lips that he didn't realize he had, Lu Yan's heart was haunted by an indescribable emotion. This girl had a special charm.

It seemed that no matter what he did, as long as he was with her, even a boring thing would become so fascinating because of her presence.

In Lu Yan's life, he had never had such a strong impulse to keep a person properly.

If I have her by my side for the rest of my life, no matter how bumpy the future is, I can still find flowers blooming among the thorns.

The fingers holding the pen holder tightened, and the boy's Adam's apple rolled up and down. Lu Yan had too many questions in his heart that needed to be answered, but he finally swallowed them all.

Now is not a good time, it is better to wait until this matter is done before talking to her.

Maybe the young man didn't move for a long time. Shen Ruoyan raised her head and asked with concern: "Young Pavilion Master, are you tired? Why don't you go back and rest first? I'll have to rest after watching for a while."

Although Shen Ruoyan said that she would only watch for a while, she finally got the formula and was so excited that she had been holding back all afternoon. How could she be willing to go to bed?

As the true contents recorded in the ledger were deciphered one by one, Shen Ruoyan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

The account books record in great detail all the details of Xue Dafu's collusion with officials from various prefectures in Yizhou over the years, and all the details of corruption and perversion of the law.

The huge amount of silver and the number of state officials involved shocked Shen Ruoyan, but at the same time, Shen Ruoyan also clearly realized that she was doing something great.

If this thing is done, it will not only free my father from prison and save thousands of lives in Yizhou, but also give the people of Yizhou a stable and just living environment. This is something that will bless generations of people. big event.

When she thought of this, a proud sense of mission arose in Shen Ruoyan's heart.

In her last life, her reputation was completely ruined. She just wanted to hide in a deep house, close the door, and live her own life peacefully.

Since her rebirth, she has no lofty ambitions. Her goal is to stay away from Lu Yan and protect her family.

She failed to do the first one.

In order to protect her family, she gradually left her original life circle step by step. A year ago, Shen Ruoyan would never have imagined that she would be investigating the corruption of state officials in an inconspicuous small town in Yizhou. case.

After coming back to her senses and facing Lu Yan's warm eyes, Shen Ruoyan smiled at him slightly shyly.

Lu Yan didn't ask further questions, and took the initiative to add a cup of tea to the two of them, saying, "I'm not tired either, but my eyes are a little tired from reading too many ledgers."

The two of them burned the midnight oil and stayed up all night, finally translating the contents of several ledgers.

Shen Ruoyan put down the pen and rubbed her sore wrist, but there was no trace of fatigue in her eyes.

The morning light is dim, the rising sun is rising, the blackness is gone, and everything is brand new.

The pair of red candles on the table had long been burned out. Looking at the account books on the table, Shen Ruoyan was filled with pride.

The evidence is conclusive, and she believes that with this, all the state officials who have embezzled disaster relief money will not be able to escape.

However, Shen Ruoyan now encountered another problem: Lu Yan did not know the identity of her daughter-in-law, so what stance should she take to persuade Lu Yan to hand over the account books to the court?

Lu Yan had already tidied up the things on the table and was about to tell Shen Ruoyan to take some time to rest. He saw the little girl next to him staring at the account books in his hand with bright eyes. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "No Tired?"

Shen Ruoyan shook her head. Seeing that it was still early, if she didn't ask now, I'm afraid it would be delayed for another day. If this matter is delayed for one more day, the people will suffer for one more day. She immediately asked in a subtle way: "Young Pavilion Master, what are you going to do? These account books?”

She knew that the reason why Lu Yan came to Yizhou this time was because he heard that the people in Yizhou were displaced and were about to die. Based on his original intention of practicing martial arts to support justice, he could not stand by and watch when such injustice happened.

But Shen Ruoyan also knew that most people in the world didn't trust the imperial court. They had their own way of solving problems. She didn't know what Lu Yan was planning.

Lu Yan tapped his left shoulder unconsciously with his fingers, and seemed to think carefully before he said slowly: "I didn't expect that this matter would involve so many state officials. It seems that the court needs to come forward to remove Yizhou." Only if the officialdom is completely reorganized can we really help the people here."

Hearing this, a big stone dropped in Shen Ruoyan's heart.

The great man is the country and the people.

Although he has lost the memory of being an official, Lu Yan will always be Lu Yan. He is not only the famous young master of Tianyan Pavilion in the world, but also has the great sentiment of caring for the world and benefiting the common people.

"Young Pavilion Master, are you planning to hand over this account book to the imperial court?" Shen Ruoyan pretended to be subtle and induced.

She hoped that Lu Yan could hand over the account book to his godfather, Mr. Li.

When this happened, Mr. Li happened to be away from the capital.

However, the Yizhou Disaster Bank was embezzled and the Minister of Household Affairs was imprisoned. Mr. Li would definitely have heard about such important matters even though he was thousands of miles away.

Counting the days, he must have returned to the capital to take charge of the overall situation.

If the account book is handed over to Mr. Li, there is no need to worry about the fifth prince secretly causing harm, and dad can be cleared of his grievances as soon as possible and released from prison.

"It's the person who should be handed over to the imperial court." Lu Yan nodded and asked without answering, "Who do you think is the most appropriate person to hand over to?"

Shen Ruoyan didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Master Li's name almost came out of her mouth, but she swallowed it back when it came to her lips. In front of Lu Yan, she was just a rural widow. How could she possibly know the situation in the DPRK? What should she do? How can he achieve his goal without arousing Lu Yan's suspicion?

"Well, Young Pavilion Master, I am a village woman. How could I know so much? Have you planned it for a long time? Just tell me." Shen Ruoyan said and couldn't help but yawn.
