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

Yu Ruyue naturally agreed immediately, after all, this was something they were doing for her.

Qin Wanrou was even more eager to try, "Don't worry, Sister Ruyue, I will definitely take down this shop for you today."

Yu Ruyue smiled and took Qin Wanrou's hand. "Then Ruyue would like to thank Sister Wanrou. But you probably haven't seen Jiaojiao for a long time!"

"Liuguang, go and invite Jiaojiao over, let's go and take a look together."

Qin Wanrou clapped her hands happily, "It's true that I haven't seen Sister Jiaojiao for a long time. The outsiders said that General Shen behaved intimately with two women. One of them was you, and the other was Sister Jiaojiao, right?"

Yu Ruyue nodded and said, "It's inconvenient for me to do many things myself right now."

"I have to wear a veil every time I go out. After all, most people in Qingtian Prefecture recognize my face. In order to avoid suspicion from those who have ulterior motives, I bring Jiaojiao with me and let Zhiheng act like a playboy, hugging women left and right. This can also confuse those who are secretly watching."

Qin Wanrou smiled and nodded.

"This is a great trick. Anyway, Lin Yihao and I are bewitched."

When Shen Jiaojiao came over and saw Qin Wanrou, the two of them hugged each other happily, held hands and talked for a long time. After they calmed down, they went out together.

However, in order to avoid suspicion from those in the dark, Shen Zhiheng and Yu Ruyue did not act in a close manner. Instead, he talked to Shen Jiaojiao and Qin Wanrou all the way.

Yu Ruyue and Lin Yihao were chatting happily.

"Sister Ruyue, you haven't been seeing a doctor or having children these past two years, but have been studying under a powerful master, right? Your political views have become more mature, and you have many unique insights. Chatting with you has been very beneficial!"

"It's just that my status is still a little low, and there are many things I can't do."

Yu Ruyue smiled and gave him some suggestions.

Lin Yihao felt that his brain was not enough. He really wanted to finish the things here quickly and go back to write down all the knowledge on paper.

As they were talking, they came to the entrance of the alley. When they looked up, they saw a group of people gathered in the alley. These people should be from the shops nearby, who came here to move things to make room.

Yu Ruyue and the others approached slowly, feeling somewhat puzzled, and heard them whispering, "Stop fighting!"

"What's going on between you two? Why can't you just talk it out at home? Why do you have to fight in public? What if you scare the children?"

"Yes! Rui Niang has been running this shop on her own for so many years. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard. You can't bully Rui Niang like this just because you have a new love!"

Yu Ruyue and the others frowned slightly when they heard these words of dissuasion. Shen Zhiheng, Lin Yihao and Yu Ruyue squeezed in.

Then I saw a man dressed in a blue brocade robe, looking like a scholar, kicking the woman lying on the ground with a ferocious look on his face.

The woman, wearing a coarse linen shirt, curled up with a look of discontent in her eyes: "Wei Dong! If you have the guts, beat me to death. Otherwise, I won't do what you wish!"

When Wei Dong heard this, he kicked the man even harder, "You bitch, I'm going to beat you to death today."

Before Yu Ruyue could say anything, Shen Jiaojiao stepped forward and shouted, "Stop!"

"This woman is your wife, not your enemy. How could you kill her?"

Wei Dong was stunned when he heard the voice. He looked closely and saw that it was actually a woman in ordinary clothes. He immediately shouted angrily: "This is my home. What does it have to do with you, a little girl? Besides, you said this is my wife. I can kill her or cut her into pieces. It's all my decision!"

Shen Jiaojiao was furious at his self-righteous attitude. "Your wife is also a human being. How can you have the final say over her death? Are you a deity who controls human life?"

"I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!"

Wei Dong sneered, "Although I'm not a deity who controls human life, since she's married into our Wei family, her life and death are of course decided by our family. At home, one should obey their father; after marriage, one should obey their husband. Don't you understand this?"

Shen Jiaojiao pinched her waist and cursed angrily: "A woman marries you, not sells her life to you."

"You're just a scholar! How can you be so pedantic?"

Wei Dong smiled evilly, took out the marriage certificate from his arms, walked in front of Shen Jiaojiao and shook it.

"Do you know what this thing is? This marriage certificate is stamped with the official seal and has the fingerprints of both families. It's a contract to sell her body. As long as she marries me, her life and death will be in my hands!"

Shen Jiaojiao was about to take action, but was quickly stopped by an old woman next to her. "Don't be impulsive, little girl. I can see you're not married yet. Old woman, let me advise you, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, don't force it on your husband. Just listen to whatever he says!"

"Since you are married to your husband, when he likes you, he will hold you in his hands. When he doesn't like you, beating and scolding you is commonplace. This is a family matter. No one will care. Even the government will turn a blind eye to such things."

"So you better stop getting involved in this kind of thing. Otherwise, when the officials come, the couple will reconcile for the sake of their child, and you'll be in trouble."

Wei Dong heard someone speak for him and immediately became complacent, "Little girl, do you hear me? With this thing, even if I beat her to death, it would just be a family matter that happened by mistake."

After he finished speaking, he quietly leaned close to Shen Jiaojiao and whispered a warning: "If you don't know what's good for you, I'll beat you up too."

This was the first time Shen Jiaojiao heard such a twisted logic.

She was so angry that her eyes turned red.

At this time, Yu Ruyue pulled Shen Jiaojiao back and stopped her behind her.

He looked at Wei Dong coldly, "This is just a marriage certificate, not your golden ticket to immunity from death. Now there are so many eyes watching us! If you really beat your wife to death, it would be intentional homicide."

"You shall pay with your life."

"Don't tell me that because she is your wife, you can do whatever you want. She was not sold to you. She is also a person, one of the many people, and is also protected by the law."

"If you don't believe it, you can give it a try."

Lin Yihao stood out from the crowd, but he was afraid of being recognized, so he half-hid his face with a folding fan. But the eyes that were exposed were full of coldness when he looked at Wei Dong. "Judging from your clothes, you must have studied for a few days."

"Have you ever read the Law?"

"Those who unknowingly beat their wives should be sentenced to one year in prison! In serious cases, the death penalty may even be imposed."

Yu Ruyue was a little confused. What was torture resistance?
