After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

The two of them walked a little further away from the crowd. Ying Zijiao casually pulled out two chairs placed in the corner and motioned for Shen Ruoyan to sit down.

Shen Ruoyan looked at the chair covered with a layer of dust and hesitated for a moment, but still chose to sit down.

The two of them were sitting side by side on wicker chairs chatting like old men at the entrance of the village.

"Are you investigating the cause of Brother Tao's death?" Ying Zijiao asked straight to the point.

Apart from Zhang Tao's death without warning, she really couldn't think of any reason that could attract such a woman to a place like theirs.

Seeing her direct question, Shen Ruoyan knew that she had a cheerful temperament, so she simply said: "I think there is something hidden about Zhang Tao."

When Ying Zijiao heard Shen Ruoyan's words, her eyes suddenly lit up. She swept away her guarded mood and said firmly: "I know that Brother Tao must have been wronged!"

Shen Ruoyan was about to ask her why she was so sure.

The little girl had already started talking endlessly about Zhang Tao's good fortune, "Brother Tao is a very good person and very loyal to his friends. No one in our area dislikes him.

You don't know, every time he comes back, the children like to follow him around.If the neighbors here have any difficulties, they will go to him for help. He never says a word "no".

How could a good person like Brother Tao do something like poisoning and killing his boss? "

Although she has never met this person, after listening to Ying Zijiao's description, the image of a cheerful, optimistic and helpful man emerged in Shen Ruoyan's mind.

However, as the saying goes, since ancient times, heroes have always had a hard time with beauties.

You can never escape the word love in your life.

No matter how gentle and kind a man is on weekdays, his temperament may change drastically because of a woman.

Taking advantage of Ying Zijiao's pause, Shen Ruoyan reminded: "I heard that Zhang Tao became interested in murdering Zhao Tianle because he stole his love and made him a concubine."

The little girl seemed to have heard some joke, she let out a disdainful sound, and then said decisively: "This is absolutely impossible!"

Finally finding the key information, Shen Ruoyan asked doubtfully: "You said it was impossible for Zhang Tao to kill Zhao Tianle?

Or is it impossible for him to kill Zhao Tianle just because he married his beloved? "

Ying Zijiao nodded firmly and said, "Brother Tao will never kill his boss just because Sister Xiaoyu married into the Zhao family."

"How do you know?" Shen Ruoyan asked.

The little girl who was still looking sad and angry suddenly lowered her head when she heard Shen Ruoyan's question, curled her lips, and whispered in a low voice: "Because... because Brother Tao doesn't like Sister Xiaoyu at all."

The sister Xiaoyu mentioned by Ying Zijiao should be Zhao Tianle's concubine. After hearing this, Shen Ruoyan was even more surprised and asked, "How are you sure Zhang Tao doesn't like her?"

Isn't this kind of forbidden love usually done secretly and covertly?

Zhang Tao probably clearly loved the concubine and couldn't help himself, but he pretended to have no feelings for her in front of others.

Ying Zijiao bit her lip and said as if she had made up her mind, "I am the one you like."

"Ah?" Shen Ruoyan whispered.

Looking carefully at Ying Zijiao, the little girl's skin is a bit darker, but her facial features are quite standard. Coupled with her cheerful personality, it is indeed easy to attract the attention of the opposite sex.

But liking this kind of thing is invisible and intangible, and there is no specific standard.

How can Ying Zijiao be sure that the person Zhang Tao likes is her?

Some flirtatious men can show their favor to several girls at the same time, coax each girl into spinning around, and watch them go crazy for him, as if they can show their charm in this way.

Not wanting to hurt the little girl, Shen Ruoyan considered her words and then asked carefully: "You said the person he likes is you, then did he make any promises to you?"

Jiaojiao shook her head shyly, then realized something was wrong, and said very seriously: "Brother Tao may have never made any promises to me, but I can feel that he treats me differently from others."

After listening to Ying Zijiao's words, Shen Ruoyan sighed silently in her heart, feeling that this matter was even more unreliable.

This is probably the little girl's one-sided liking.

Seeing that Shen Ruoyan didn't believe her, Ying Zijiao spoke with a bit of anxiety, "Brother Tao must have thought that I wasn't old enough to get married yet, so he didn't say anything."

Shen Ruoyan didn't want to discuss with a young girl whether her crush liked her, so she asked from another angle: "So, do you know what the relationship between Zhang Tao and that sister Xiaoyu is like?"

When mentioning Tian Xiaoyu, Ying Zijiao did not show any jealousy and said very calmly: "Brother Tao and Sister Xiaoyu are just friends who have known each other since childhood.

There are so many people living here, and parents are busy working and have no time to take care of their children.Usually, all the children get together to play. Sister Xiaoyu is about the same age as Brother Tao, so we naturally know each other. Even Sister Xiaoyu and I know each other.

Actually, Sister Xiaoyu is also a poor person.Her mother ran away with her after giving birth to her, and her father lost an arm in the earthquake two years ago. She was a girl, and she had to take care of her father and find ways to make money to survive. it is really hard.

Sister Xiaoyu is beautiful, and there were several families who wanted to get engaged to her. But since her father's accident, everyone felt that Sister Xiaoyu was such a drag on her father, so no one was willing to come and propose marriage to her anymore.

Fortunately, Sister Xiaoyu was lucky enough to be favored by Mr. Zhao.

If she can marry into the Zhao family as a concubine, she will be able to live and eat well for the rest of her life. "

This was the first time Shen Ruoyan heard that there were people who envied others as concubines.

As a daughter of a well-established family in the capital, Shen Ruoyan has been taught since childhood that being a concubine is a very shameful thing.

Even when her reputation was completely ruined in her last life, she never thought about wronging herself and becoming a concubine for any family.

You know, in a place like the capital that pays attention to status, there is a huge difference between the children of legitimate children and the children of concubines. For the future of their children, many families would rather marry their daughters to a family with less favorable conditions and become the head wife. , and did not want her daughter to be a concubine for a wealthy family.

Therefore, it is often seen that noble ladies marry ordinary scholars.

If you marry a poorer scholar, you can at least make a fortune, but if you become someone else's concubine, you will not only ruin your life, but it will also affect your children in the future.

However, since leaving the back house, Shen Ruoyan has seen so many different aspects of the world.

Only then did she understand that for some people, having food to eat was more important than face.

Thinking of this, she could understand what Ying Zijiao said.
