The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Chapter 168 A woman’s innocence is never hidden under her skirt.

Yu Ruyue knew that this matter had become known to the whole county, and it was not possible to get him to release the person on the spot with just a few words.

But after today, Shen Laocai has been completely accused of murdering his wife, kidnapping his child, poisoning, and raping his daughter-in-law.

With just a little effort, Shen Chou's crimes of viciousness, bestiality, and patricide will become justice.

No one will ever bring up patricide again!

This is also why, although she could have directly brought up the incident of being bullied, she still had to go through so much trouble to let everyone know about Shen Laocai's crime.

As soon as she got out, she was hugged by her parents with tears in their eyes. No matter what era it is, if a girl is almost bullied, she will be talked about and pointed at.

Although my daughter did not suffer any injustice, I still feel heartbroken when I think of her fear and helplessness at that time.

"My dear daughter! Don't be afraid. No matter what you do, your parents will always stand by you."

Shen Jiaojiao was also crying breathlessly, "That damn old beast, it was too easy for him to be stabbed to death."

Village Chief Shen looked at the weeping people and sighed, "Jiaojiao! Don't tell anyone about this when you return to the village. If the villagers knew about it, I don't know what they would say about Ruyue behind her back!"

Shen Jiaojiao wiped her tears with her sleeve and sobbed, "Okay! I know, but I just can't swallow this. Why can those criminals live without any burden, while those bullied girls have to swallow their anger in silence, and some even hang themselves or jump into the river!"

Village Chief Shen rubbed his daughter's head distressedly. "There's nothing we can do! This world is just like this. No one can change it. We can only be careful."

At this time, Yu Ruyue finally comforted her parents, then pulled Qin Haowen aside and said to him, "I'll give you one hundred taels of silver!"

"Go find those storytellers and the little beggars and tell them what happened today."

"Within three days, I want everyone on the streets to know about this!"

Qin Haowen looked at Yu Ruyue's determined and bright eyes, feeling a little worried: "If that matter gets out, your reputation will be ruined!"

"Perhaps these people still have sympathy for you now, but as time goes on, through the fabrications of those with ulterior motives, they will say that you have brought this upon yourself, that you are seducing your father-in-law, and they will even speculate whether you and Shen Chou were not innocent to begin with. Countless unpleasant words will be like a knife, stabbing into your heart."

"Ruyue! I know you not only want to save him, but also want to save his reputation and allow him to continue his scientific research..."

"But have you ever thought about yourself? I..."

Yu Ruyue raised her hand to stop him from saying the next words, "Alright! I know you're doing this for my own good, but don't worry, even if those rumors are like knives, I will still live well. I want to tell all the women who have been bullied that a woman's innocence is never hidden beneath a skirt!"

"For victims, suicide is never the only option."

Lin Yihao, who had been eavesdropping quietly, rushed forward excitedly, "But there's never been a precedent before! Even Brother Shen wouldn't agree with you doing this."

Yu Ruyue chuckled softly, "Since there's no precedent! Then I'll create one."

"Before, they thought I was hated by my husband and that I should die if I couldn't keep a man's heart."

"And you think I'm going to jail for trying to steal my property and sell my grandparents and uncles? You deserve to die!"

"Later, I publicly requested a divorce. My husband, who had abandoned me on our wedding day to have affairs with other women, should have immediately hanged himself."

"But until now, I am still alive and well!"

"Even if this gets out and everyone wants me dead, I still want to live well!!"

Yu Ruyue’s words shocked Qin Haowen and Lin Yihao.

They suddenly felt that what they had just said was a bit narrow-minded.

At this time, Yu Dehou and Liang Shulan also came over. They held Yu Ruyue's hands and firmly agreed with their daughter, "Haowen, go!"

Qin Haowen looked at the family of three in front of him, the firm and gentle smiles on their faces, and their clasped hands. He always felt that they were very close to him, but also very far away from him, as if they were not people of this world.

What happened today also left a deep impression on Qin Haowen and Lin Yihao's hearts, so much so that even when they reached high positions later, they did not forget it.

In the next few days, the news of Shen Laocai's cruelty and Shen Chou's patricide caused a sensation in Lu County. Everyone felt that Shen Laocai deserved to die and Shen Chou should be acquitted.

However, there was no movement in the government office.

Moreover, even though Yu Ruyue requested for a meeting many times, she was fooled by the fact that more investigation was needed. Even Zhao Hui didn't know what the county magistrate meant.

All he did was to comfort Yu Ruyue and provide Shen Chou Lao with a better life.

In the backyard of the government office, the county magistrate was rubbing his eyebrows, looking annoyed.

"Sir! News of Shen Chou's incident has spread like wildfire. Many people have gathered at the gate of the county government office, hoping for an explanation from us!"

The county magistrate, somewhat angrily, picked up the teacup beside him and threw it to the ground. "How outrageous! These people are really getting bolder and bolder."

"What's Zhao Hui doing? Doesn't he know how to arrest two people and make an example of them?"

The lawyer said cautiously, "Your Excellency! Zhao Hui has a close relationship with that little girl, and he is very concerned about this matter."

"I've come here to ask several times."

The county magistrate gnashed his teeth in anger upon hearing this. "I never thought that damned girl would be so bold. Does she really want to lose her reputation?"

The lawyer nodded and said, "I heard that several old pedants heard about this and were so angry that they started cursing in the teahouse, saying that a woman who had been defiled like this should jump into the river and commit suicide immediately to avoid ruining the reputation of Lu County."

"In the end, the little girl brought people to the door and said that women's innocence is no less than Luo Qun's. She also said that those old pedants had so many children and were still hanging around in brothels. They had no male ethics! They should just find a rope and hang themselves."

"They even called them dirty cucumbers and rotten cucumbers, which made those old men so angry that they almost fainted!"

The county magistrate was so angry that he laughed, "She is indeed a sharp-tongued girl."

"However, why is there still no news from Kyoto? Who is Shen Chou's illegitimate child out there?"
