After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

The Xue family colluded with the state officials, and even dared to embezzle the disaster relief funds allocated by the court, which made the entire Yizhou people miserable, countless people were displaced, and their families were destroyed. It can be said to have committed a heinous crime.

Shen Ruoyan knew that all the Xue family members were later sentenced, but she did not take the initiative to inquire about Xue Jinbao's fate.

Xue Jinbao's chubby figure couldn't help but appear in his mind.

During the time when she was lurking in the Xue family to investigate the case, she had some real feelings for the child Xue Jinbao. When she thought of the child, she felt very uncomfortable and did not dare to hear any news about Xue Jinbao.

Lu Yan probably understood her thoughts and didn't let Shen Ruoyan get any information about the Xue family. So when Shen Ruoyan heard Qin'er say that she saved Xue Jinbao, she was stunned.

"What happened? How did you save Xue Jinbao? Shouldn't he have been...executed long ago?" Shen Ruoyan asked.

According to her understanding of Daning's laws and regulations, if Mr. Xue commits such a crime, he will at least be executed. As the only son of the Xue family, Xue Jinbao will definitely not escape death. How can Qin'er save Xue Jinbao? Woolen cloth?

If this incident is true, Xue Jinbao is now a fugitive, and Qin'er rescuing him is tantamount to violating Daning's laws.

The more Shen Ruoyan thought about it, the more she thought about it.

Facing Shen Ruoyan's shocked eyes, Qin'er also realized that she had made a big mistake and lowered her head hesitantly.

Shen Ruoyan took a deep breath, tried to steady her mind, patted Qin'er's hand, and comforted: "I don't mean to blame you, please tell me how you rescued Xue Jinbao?"

“Actually, I wasn’t the one who saved him.” Qin’er recalled, “That day, He Mang and I went to the next village to purchase goods. When we passed by a small stall, we saw a group of beggars fighting over half a piece of naan bread.

Seeing how pitiful they were, I took out the dry food in my bag and gave it to them. When I saw one of the little beggars, I suddenly found that he looked very familiar.

Before I could remember who he was, he seemed to be crazy and rushed towards me, hitting and biting me. Fortunately, He Mang was by my side, and it took a lot of effort between us to get rid of him. He pushed to the ground.

At this time, I finally remembered that he was Xue Jinbao, the chubby young master of the Xue family!

Even though he was pinned to the ground, he still refused to calm down. He was cursing and yelling that he wanted to see you and ask you...why you wanted to ruin his family and that he wanted to..."

Speaking of this, Qin'er really couldn't go on.

But Shen Ruoyan could guess what Xue Jinbao said at that time.

During those days in Xue Mansion, although Xue Jinbao was a little willful, he was wholeheartedly kind to Shen Ruoyan. When he knew the full truth of the matter, he must have hated her to death.

Thinking of that child, Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart.

Xue Jinbao is only a half-year-old child. In the eyes of outsiders, as the only heir of the Xue family, he has endless wealth. However, after getting in touch with him, we find that this child is not happy and he is lonely inside. .

His father was busy making money and had little time to take care of him. His mistress did not treat him harshly materially, but she just wanted to use him to consolidate her position and even killed his biological mother alive.

Since losing his mother, the only person Xue Jinbao treated sincerely was Shen Ruoyan, but he still failed him.

However, if it had to happen again, Shen Ruoyan would still choose to make the ledger public.

"Later, Xue Jinbao fainted while cursing. He Mang said that he had been hungry for too long and exhausted all his strength.

Miss, you don’t know that Xue Jinbao used to be chubby, but now he has lost weight and looks like a completely different person.

I saw that he was so skinny and skinny, and that he was covered in blood and filth. He was so pitiful that I felt soft-hearted, so I found a farmer, gave them some money, and fostered Xue Jinbao in their home. "After Qin'er finished speaking, she bit her lip and lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Shen Ruoyan.

Ever since she rescued Xue Jinbao, she felt very uneasy and vaguely felt that she had caused a big disaster. Later, when she learned that Shen Ruoyan had also come to Yizhou, she immediately sent her a letter to ask what happened to her young lady. what to do.

Shen Ruoyan thought for a while and asked, "Besides you and He Mang, who else knows about this?"

"No more." Qin'er shook her head. She knew that Xue Jinbao was now a prisoner of the imperial court, and she didn't tell anyone about the important matter. "I didn't even tell Chun Niang about this."

"Okay." Shen Ruoyan finally heard the good news and breathed a sigh of relief.

But this matter is really difficult right now.

Qin'er may have just been soft-hearted and saved Xue Jinbao, but she didn't consider how much was involved behind it.

The Xue family used to be too powerful, and they should have offended many people. Sooner or later, Xue Jinbao would get into trouble if he hid here.

If he is discovered, it will not only be detrimental to the couple who adopted him, but the government will also follow this line and trace the heads of Qin'er and He Mang. Qin'er is her personal maid, which is tantamount to killing them. The entire Shangshu Mansion was implicated.

His father was imprisoned in Dali Temple last year and was finally able to get out of the crime. If someone with intentions knew that Qin'er had secretly rescued Xue Jinbao, they would definitely make a fuss about it. Shen Ruoyan could already imagine how big a stir it would cause. A storm.

Seeing the sad look on her young lady's face, Qin'er really panicked, "Miss, did I do something wrong? Oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted at that time."

Shen Ruoyan couldn't see Qin'er's tears and coaxed softly: "Don't worry, since it has happened, we have to concentrate on finding ways to solve the problem. Don't be sad. If you break your body from crying, isn't it worth it?"

Qin'er wiped her red and swollen eyes and asked, "Miss, what should we do? Why don't we just take the initiative to send Xue Jinbao to the government?"

Shen Ruoyan shook her head subconsciously.

Scenes of getting along with Xue Jinbao emerged in Shen Ruoyan's mind.

When they first met, he was curious and excited. He held her clothes with his chubby little hands and said that he wanted to marry her.

In the study, the little fat man was holding a pen and writing with a distressed look on his face, peeking at her from time to time.

Also, Xue Jinbao looked sad and forbearing when he recalled his mother.

This child who is doted on by thousands of people seems to be willful and unruly, but in fact he is very kind at heart.

He didn't do anything wrong, he only made a mistake by being born into the wrong family.

It would be okay if she didn't know before, but now she is asked to send Xue Jinbao to death with her own hands. Shen Ruoyan really can't do it.

"This matter is of great importance. I have to think about it carefully before I can make a decision." Shen Ruoyan said with difficulty.
