A crazy beauty has an island, and a powerful figure from that era dotes on her.

The staff escorted Xu Hui into the car in front.

Once everyone was on the bus, the staff member released Liu Yingjie.

Even so, Liu Yingjie still wanted to catch up.

"Let my mother go..."

A young man hurriedly pulled the person back.

“Mom…” Liu Yingjie watched the car speed away with tears in her eyes.

Everyone looked at Liu Yingjie and shook their heads and sighed again.

"He looks decent enough, but I never expected him to be so wicked."

"Yes, they said her daughter ran off with someone, but it turns out she was the one who sold her out. You can never judge a book by its cover."

"That girl must be twenty years old! Couldn't she have asked someone for a bride price? Why did she have to sell her off? It's such a tragedy!"

……

As they were talking, they suddenly realized something.

Xu Hui went to jail, what will happen to Liu Yingjie?

Zhao Dewang's elders immediately stepped forward and said, "They didn't get a marriage certificate, so they're not considered husband and wife."

In other words, [Liu Yingjie has no relation to the Zhao family, and they won't support him.]

Everyone fell into silence.

Zhao Dewang stared at the large red "囍" character on the door, his mind a jumbled mess.

.

The Lu Family Compound

"Ring ring ring..." The phone suddenly rang.

Wang Ma jogged over to answer the phone.

"Hey……"

After the person on the other end of the phone said something, Wang Ma put down the phone and went to knock on Lu Yujing and Jian Qingyi's door with a smile.

"Yu Jing, Chen Feng is looking for you."

Lu Yujing was lying on the bed watching TV with his wife when he heard Zhou Chenfeng looking for him, and he couldn't help but frown.

"Nobody can rest easy during the Lunar New Year."

"Go quickly! What if they have an emergency?" Jian Qingyi gently nudged him.

"Give me a kiss, and I'll come." Lu Yujing leaned her face closer.

Jian Qingyi pouted and leaned closer...

Lu Yujing tilted her head to the side.

Their lips made intimate contact.

Lu Yujing gave his young wife's pink lips a couple of firm kisses before finally getting out of bed, satisfied.

"Put your coat on." Jian Qingyi gestured towards the coat on the coat rack.

With temperatures around two or three degrees Celsius, it's easy to catch a cold without even realizing it.

Lu Yujing obediently took the coat off the coat rack and put it on.

The person on the other end of the phone was getting impatient.

After a long while, familiar footsteps finally came through the receiver.

"I thought you fell into the sewer!" Zhou Chenfeng couldn't help but complain when he heard someone pick up the microphone on the other end.

"Get to the point if you have something to say, otherwise I'm hanging up," Lu Yujing said impatiently.

"Xu Hui has been arrested!" Zhou Chenfeng glanced at the wooden door of the office and lowered his voice.

"What is it about?" Lu Yujing's expression hardened.

He didn't care whether Xu Hui was arrested or not; he only cared whether it would tarnish his wife's reputation.

“She sold her stepdaughter Liu Tingting to a human trafficker. The trafficker raped Liu Tingting and accidentally killed her…” Zhou Chenfeng explained in a low voice.

It's nothing new for human traffickers to target attractive girls; they probably never imagined it would result in a death.

Add to that the current situation...

Xu Hui is afraid she won't get away with it.

"After Xu Hui went in, she kept insisting on seeing her younger brother and sister-in-law and Jian Zhongliang." Zhou Chenfeng lowered his voice even further.

"Find someone to restrain her and stop her from talking nonsense..." A ruthless glint flashed across Lu Yujing's eyes.

"Should we tell my sister-in-law about this...?" This was what Zhou Chenfeng was struggling with.

There are many ways to prevent people from talking nonsense; what he's worried about is...

Will that little girl resent them when she finds out later?

after all……

This might be the last time we see each other.

Lu Yujing pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling a bit of a headache.

Deep down, he definitely didn't want his new wife to see him.

He was afraid of upsetting his young wife and offending her.

Can……

He wasn't sure what his young wife was thinking either.

Think about it.

He still told his young wife about it.

He didn't want her to have any regrets.

He didn't want her to resent or hate him in the future.

"She sold her stepdaughter?" Jian Qingyi's face showed a hint of something unspeakable.

"It's true that you can't have two different kinds of people sleeping in the same bed!" she couldn't help but exclaim.

Liu Wentao hired human traffickers to sell her.

Xu Hui hired human traffickers to sell Liu Tingting.

These two are a perfect match!

"Was she arrested because Liu Tingting reported her?" Jian Qingyi chuckled.

She wasn't the original owner of this body, and she had no familial affection for Xu Hui.

"Liu Tingting is dead. She was accidentally killed by human traffickers." Afraid of frightening his young wife, Lu Yujing dared not elaborate.

Jian Qingyi stopped smiling.

That Liu Tingting is really unlucky to have such a vicious stepmother.

"If she wants money, she can simply find someone to marry Liu Tingting off. Isn't the bride price cleaner than the money in the hands of that human trafficker?" Jian Qingyi couldn't understand.

The essential……

Marrying off a daughter means she can help her younger brother in the future.

Selling one's daughter, not only for little money, but also as a one-time buyout.

This is a losing proposition no matter how you look at it.

"I heard that Liu Tingting has fallen for a street vendor..."

Lu Yujing gave his young wife a meaningful look.

Jian Qingyi understood immediately.

She said it herself, Xu Hui doesn't seem like such a fool.

but……

Xu Hui is truly ruthless!

Even if he wasn't her biological child, he had called her "Mom" for ten years, yet she had the heart to push him into a pit of fire.

Moreover, she was the one who actively sought out the human traffickers.

Nima!

What about her ten most brutal tortures of the Qing Dynasty?

"Given her condition, would she even eat peanuts?" Jian Qingyi raised an eyebrow.

Just a few days ago, she overheard the old man and her father-in-law, Lu Chang, talking about the current political situation...

Xu Hui has now walked right into a trap.

Lu Yujing nodded slightly.

"Wife, are you going?" Lu Yujing asked tentatively.

"I'm not going!" Jian Qingyi refused in a second.

Hesitating for even a second is disrespectful to her intelligence.

"Don't tell my father about this," Jian Qingyi added.

Xu Hui's approach to them now is definitely not for anything good.

Whether it's rescuing someone or entrusting an orphan to someone...

She won't go.

Even if she wasn't the original owner, she wouldn't try to rescue her.

Entrusting an orphan to someone...

That's even more impossible.

She would rather throw her money into the water than use it to support her and her lover's illegitimate child.

Lu Yujing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely afraid that his young wife would soften her heart and leave.

"Honey, you keep an eye on things for now. I'm going to call Chenfeng back." Lu Yujing stood up.

Jian Qingyi nodded and turned her gaze back to the television screen.

I don't know if the person on the other end was waiting by the phone the whole time, because the phone was answered after only one ring.

“My wife isn’t going,” Lu Yujing said bluntly.

"Okay, I understand." Zhou Chenfeng's voice was slightly deep.

"Oh, right, find someone unfamiliar to go to the suburbs and, while they're at it, let them tell that old lady from the Liu family about Xu Hui's arrest..." Lu Yujing glanced in the direction of the kitchen and lowered his voice.

Although Old Mrs. Liu didn't like her daughter-in-law Xu Hui, Liu Yingjie was a member of her Liu family.

With her son in jail and her daughter-in-law about to face consequences, how could she possibly stay out of it?!
