Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Shen Nankui's illness was sometimes better and sometimes worse. He seemed fine during the day, but he would have a fever again at night.

The doctor said that she was frightened and prescribed her some heart-nourishing and nerve-soothing medicine.

These days, Gu Yichuan was not always with Shen Nankui. He went to the county town every other day.

Shen Nankui knew that it was because of the case.

Gu Yichuang said that the Wu family was indeed related to County Magistrate Zhou, so when County Magistrate Zhou learned that the person arrested was Wu Shao, he originally intended to shield him. However, the old official, Captain Liu, was an upright person. He concluded that Wu Shao would never take the risk of attacking a married woman based on a few rumors.

After extensive investigation, it was discovered that Wu Shao already had a criminal record and had had affairs with countless decent women.

It’s just that the Wu family is wealthy and generous, and they always use money to settle the matter, so it has never been exposed.

But in this world, there are people who are willing to compromise, and there are also people like Shen Nankui who fight to the death.

With his keen experience in handling cases over the years, Captain Liu concluded that there must be something wrong with the villa where Shen Nankui was taken. Without telling the county magistrate, he ordered the water in the lotus pond to be drained and sent people down to the lake to salvage the body.

You wouldn't know until you start digging. When they did, they dug out more than ten bodies from the mud. The coroner determined that all the bodies were young women.

Once the truth was revealed, the whole city was shocked.

Now the magistrate could no longer help him escape punishment. Such unscrupulous behavior was resisted by the people of Cang County. Wu Shao was soon sentenced to death by slicing after the autumn for multiple crimes.

He was only in jail for a few days before his outrageous behavior angered the public and he was tortured to death in prison before he could even survive the fall.

After Wu Shaoyi's death, Shen Nankui felt relieved.

"Evil finally gets its due."

But there was one thing that Gu Yichuan didn't tell her.

After the case was closed, Captain Liu met with him alone and told him that all the women targeted by Wu Shao, whether those who chose to keep quiet or those who were tortured to death in the lake, had one thing in common: they came from poor families.

It is only these families who are unable to report to the authorities and seek justice, and cannot resist the temptation of money, that are best targeted.

A daughter of an official like Shen Nankui, who is even related to the Marquis and has considerable fame in the town, would generally not be chosen by him as her prey.

The Wu family is wealthy and powerful, and although his actions are absurd, he does not dare to take any risks.

Captain Liu suspected that there was another hidden secret, but before he could find out, Wu Shao had already died. So he had no choice but to tell Gu Yichuang about this guess so that he could be prepared.

It's August in the blink of an eye.

After the beginning of autumn, the weather is still hot, but the temperature in the morning and evening is gradually cooling down.

Shen Nankui's illness was completely cured, and she began to consider continuing to go to the private school, but Gu Yichuan disagreed and still asked her to continue to recuperate.

Even Liang advised, "Second sister-in-law, you should worry more about yourself. You have lost a lot of weight after this illness. Why do you still care about them?"

Shen Nankui disagreed, "Sister-in-law, I'm already well now. Besides, I've wasted these days, and I don't know if the students have fallen behind in their studies. Since I promised to take care of them, I have to be responsible."

There was resentment in Liang's eyes. "You are worried about them, but what about them? I think they are all wicked and heartless. You have been sick for so long, has any of them come to visit you? I think it is just what they want if you don't go to the private school. You can be free from their control. If that's the case, why do you still go to that private school? Anyway, you have Yuan'er and Qiao'er at home, which is enough for you to be busy..."

"Sister-in-law!" Gu Yichuan didn't want her to speak anymore.

Shen Nankui shook his head, "No, they have been with me for so long, I know a little bit about the nature of these children, they won't be like that."

"Will I harm you again?"

Seeing that she couldn't convince him, Liang simply turned around and left.

Shen Nankui looked at her back, feeling somewhat puzzled, "Why is sister-in-law acting a little weird today?"

Gu Yichuan comforted her, "Sister-in-law is always outspoken and has no ill intentions."

For some reason, there was a hint of worry between his brows, and he went to the study alone.

The two kids were doing their homework in the main room, so Shen Nankui went to see them.

In the past few days, the two little ones have been sticking to her very closely, as if they were afraid that she would disappear again in the blink of an eye. Especially Aqiao, who even insisted on sleeping with her for a few nights and drove her uncle to the study.

The little girl was tripped by Wu Shao's men last time and sprained her foot. She still walks with a limp, and her crooked way makes her look more like a rabbit.

But A Yuan didn't laugh at her anymore.

He just swore silently in his heart that he must grow up quickly so that he could protect his sister, his aunt, and his mother.

Two days later, Shen Nankui finally realized something was wrong.

Gu Yichuan and Liang Shi seemed to be deliberately stopping her from going out these days.

Shen Nankui was full of doubts. While Liang was away and Gu Yichuan was busy with his own affairs, she quietly left the house.

All the way to town.

Those who used to greet her in a friendly manner when they saw her now no longer paid any attention to her, and some even avoided her.

When she arrived at the entrance of the private school, she was surprised to find that there were two heavy locks on the door frame.

The lock to which she originally had the key was now missing.

How is this going?

She was still in a daze when she suddenly heard a low voice of discussion behind her.

"Hey, isn't this the female teacher of the private school? The private school has been closed for several days. Where did she go?"

"Don't you know? She was kidnapped and raped. How could she have the nerve to come back to teach students? See those locks? They were locked by the families of those students."

"Oh my God! Who did this? This woman is so pitiful..."

"Why pity her? Look at her appearance, she is an alluring woman. If she had just taught her students honestly, how could anyone fancy her, a married woman?"

"Ah, if you ask such a person to be a teacher, wouldn't he be a bad example for the students?"

"That's right. I heard that she was the one who made boys and girls sit together in class. Boys and girls are together. Isn't that shameless?"

"..."

The discussions continued and became more and more extreme.

Some even speculated that she had not appeared in public for several days and had been humiliated and tortured, and was only released today.

Shen Nankui's expression changed from initial shock to understanding.

That's it, that's it...

The corners of her lips showed a smile that was hard to tell whether it was sad or sarcastic. No wonder Gu Yichuan and Liang didn't let her go out. It turned out that this was the rumor outside.

But, she is obviously the victim.

Why did she become so unbearable in the mouths of these people?

She fought with wits and courage and tried her best to save her life, but it became a topic of conversation and a joke among them?
