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

"Looking at that figure, it's definitely not Ruyue."

"If it's really Sister Ruyue, she wouldn't have failed to come find you and me!"

Qin Wanrou was shocked. "What do you mean? Shen Chou actually fell in love with another woman and behaved intimately with another woman. So he bought these shops just to give them to that woman. How can this be possible?"

"Others may not know, but you and I do, don't you? Ruyue suffered so much for him back then, and even spent all her family wealth. After he became a general, he still assisted us with all his might, even with a big belly, praying for rain or personally leading the troops to resist the enemy. If it weren't for Ruyue, we would have died of thirst and starvation long ago, and he wouldn't have been able to climb to this position, let alone you, the prefect!"

"Now, because she is weak from childbirth, she is away to seek out a famous doctor and avoid disaster, so she will be away for a little longer."

"But, all this is because of Shen Chou!"

"How could he do something to let Ruyue down? No, I have to go and see now!"

When Lin Yihao heard this, he also placed the folding fan in his hand heavily on the table.

"You're right. Without Ruyue, we wouldn't be where we are today. I can't let my best brother do something worse than an animal."

"Let's go and persuade him together."

The two hit it off immediately, and then came to the gate of Yu Mansion angrily.

Qin Wanrou looked at the plaque with the words "Yu Mansion" written on it in large letters and became even more furious. "Humph! This Shen Chou actually brought people here."

"Doesn't he know what's written on the plaque?"

Lin Yihao held a fan and kept clapping his hands, feeling very anxious.

"This Brother Shen! He's so confused!"

When the doorman opened the door, the two of them walked in angrily...

Ignoring the flowing light and pushing the door open, the two men saw a woman sitting at the door with her back to them, while Shen Zhiheng was sitting inside with a smile on his face, drawing her portrait with a pen.

Qin Wanrou looked at the back of this figure, which was obviously more slender and graceful than Yu Ruyue's.

She was so angry that she yelled, "Shen Chou! Are you doing this to Ruyue?"

"If it weren't for you, Ruyue wouldn't have to be away from home for so long."

Lin Yihao's hand holding the fan was shaking. He pointed at the woman with her back to them, then at Shen Zhiheng who was frowning inside. "You...you... Hey! Brother Shen, how could you do such a thing? Sister Ruyue is so sincere to you! How could you act so recklessly while she's not around?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Wanrou saw Shen Zhiheng staring at the two of them with a complicated expression, and the shoulders of the woman with her back to them were shaking, as if she was laughing at them.

Qin Wanrou was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and reached out to grab the woman.

"You actually still have the nerve to laugh. Do you know that Shen Chou has a family and his wife is a very good woman? Don't let his handsome face make you have inappropriate thoughts. I..."

As a result, she pinched the man's shoulders and turned him over, and then she met a pair of smiling eyes.

The words she was about to say got stuck in her throat.

Her eyes were shocked at first, then slowly turned sad, and her eyes turned red, "Ruyue!"

"Ruyue is actually you, you are finally back."

She stepped forward and hugged Ruyue, who quickly hugged her back, "Sister Wanrou! I'm back!"

When Lin Yihao saw Yu Ruyue, his face was full of excitement. He tapped his hands with the fan and wanted to open his arms for a hug, but was stared back by Shen Zhiheng's cold eyes.

He lowered his hand and laughed, "I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back. I knew Brother Shen wasn't the type to get bored easily."

"But Sister Ruyue! If you do this, I will scold you. Why don't you come to me when you come back?"

Qin Wanrou also said angrily: "Now that you are back, why don't you come to my house and sit down? Lin Yihao and I thought General Shen had done something to wrong you."

Yu Ruyue also looked at the two of them with red eyes. The feeling of reunion after a long separation made her happy and sad at the same time.

"Thank you, Sister Wanrou and Brother Lin, for still thinking of me. It's just that because of my previous prayer for rain, Qin Guoan has been targeting me. He wants to capture me and use some magic to make everyone submit to him and end the war as soon as possible. But what I did at the time was just a trick. How could I be so powerful as to make all the people submit to one person? If I really had that ability, I would have become the emperor myself."

"It's just that Qin Guoan doesn't know. Even if he did, he wouldn't believe it. To save my life, I can only hide. The reason I didn't contact you is because I didn't want to implicate you."

Qin Wanrou took a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face. "That person is really something. Instead of thinking about how to win the hearts of the people, he thinks of resorting to these crooked ways."

"Hey!"

"It's really hard for you!"

"Oh right! What happened with the shop?"

"Where is the child? Where is the child now?"

Yu Ruyue and Shen Zhiheng had never expected that Qin Wanrou actually had two shops in that alley. She hurriedly told Qin Wanrou her idea.

"Since the shop belongs to Sister Wanrou, I won't buy it. As long as you follow my layout and make some minor changes, we can make money together!"

Qin Wanrou quickly shook her head and said, "What are you buying? I'll give you the shop."

"Just consider it a meeting gift for my nephew and niece. But you're also quite impressive, having given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Bring them down to us someday so we can see them properly."

Yu Ruyue waved her hands quickly, "Let's put it this way. Otherwise, I'll buy the shop. However, my shop is short of some staff. We can cooperate and run the grocery store together."

Qin Wanrou immediately shook her head. "Since you call me sister, I can't take advantage of you. I know you'll find great use for this shop, so I'll sell it to you at the current market price. Anyway, my family is big and powerful, so it doesn't matter whether I have these two shops or not."

"Without General Shen's protection, I wouldn't have been able to establish myself in Qingtian Prefecture so quickly. I'll just treat this as a reward for you and your wife."

The two of them argued for a while, but finally reached a deal at the market price.

"Lin Yihao! How many shops are left to buy?"

"Since we've taken down Sister Wanrou's two shops, there's only one left. That shop is smaller, and it seems to be run by a woman. I've asked someone to talk to her, but she's unwilling to sell."

"But I heard that her husband seemed to be very supportive of this. I was planning to go over and talk to him in person today."

"Since everyone is here, why don't we go take a look together?"
