Chapter 1939 Return to Pingyang

After Jiang Shunyi and Ruyi went back, they thought about it again and again. Looking at her rosy face, they didn't know how to say this after thinking for a long time.

She seemed to be in a good mood today. She hadn't felt so comfortable for a long time.

He was struggling, but he didn't notice that Lu Ruyi hesitated to speak several times.

Until she patted his shoulder and said, "Don't you have anything to say to me all the way back?"

Jiang Shunyi was stunned and looked at her silently for a long time. His expression changed slightly, from being stunned at the beginning to apologetic. He thought that she already knew about Lu Shiyi. Just when he was about to speak, he heard her say : "At that time, my aunt asked you to go alone, but did she talk about the Lu family?"

Jiang Shunyi became even more silent, but did not feel relieved. He looked at Lu Ruyi and was not in a hurry to tell her what his mother said first. He said bluntly: "Mom did say something about the Lu family, but before that I want to Let me tell you something else first.”

"What's the matter?"

The words were about to be spoken, but under the look in her eyes, it was a bit difficult to say them.

Seeing whether he wanted to say anything or not made Lu Ruyi a little anxious.

"What do you mean, is it a good thing? Or a bad thing?"

Jiang Shunyi averted his eyes and let out a deep breath: "It's a bad thing, but... it's not entirely a bad thing."

Lu Ruyi's heart sank instantly, she clenched her fists subconsciously, forced herself to calm down, pretended to smile, and said: "Now, there will be nothing worse for me, just say it, don't Hide it from me."

"... Ruyi, I received the news today that Shiyi is no longer here."

Even though she had several guesses in her mind, Lu Ruyi still couldn't hold back when she heard this. She vibrated violently. She looked at him blankly, her ears ringing for a while. After a while, she asked uncertainly. : "What...what did you say? I didn't understand."

Jiang Shunyi held her hand, feeling increasingly heavy. They all knew in their hearts that they didn't hear clearly. It was clear that they subconsciously didn't dare to hear clearly and didn't dare to believe it.

Seeing his unchanging expression, Lu Ruyi suddenly realized that tears had fallen uncontrollably.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Shunyi was also worried. He wiped the tears from her face and said, "Don't cry, don't cry."

Lu Ruyi couldn't help shaking her hands and asked: "No, please tell me carefully, what happened? How did she die? The crime has not been determined yet, right?"

After hearing the news of Lu Shiyi's death at first, Jiang Shunyi didn't feel much. She only knew that Ruyi was going to be sad for a while, but now looking at her like this, she felt even more uncomfortable, and she could feel the same. , and felt even more guilty for being indifferent to this matter.

He said: "She committed suicide at the door of Cao's Mansion. She must have gone there at night. She was discovered in the morning and had been taken back by her father-in-law and mother-in-law. Although the crime has not yet been determined, you and I both know that the county magistrate will not escape the death penalty." , and Shiyi, as his wife, cannot escape. The reason why I say this is not entirely a bad thing, but also because of this. Ruyi, I know you are sad in your heart, but you should know that perhaps only by dying can you be better. A good place to protect her." When a sinner stands in this world, he will live in endless regret and compensation. If he is a man, he will be exiled thousands of miles, demoted to a commoner, doing hard work, and has no solution for the rest of his life. But if he is a woman, her end will be just It's worse than men. The best result for a woman who commits a crime but doesn't die is to become an official slave. It's just a change of status. At least she can survive. But who will pity a woman who has committed a crime and is involved in an affair?
In that dark area, how many female prisoners were brutally tortured to death, and how many hardships the unknown female corpses in the mass graves suffered before they died were turned into dust. No one can ask, no one knows.

No one will plead for a criminal, and no one will sympathize with someone who has committed a crime.

Some officials' wives were forced to go to jail because of the loneliness of the officials. Such status is the most arousing violence in some people's hearts. Officials' wives are ladies and noble status. Who doesn't want to see that white neck? They stoop to others and act submissive, especially in front of people they usually despise, begging for mercy.

There are many ways to torture a man, but the only way to torture a woman is to be obscene.

Jiang Shunyi didn't want to talk to Ruyi because he was afraid that she would collapse. Seeing the endless tears in her eyes, he stayed with her quietly. When she cried loudly, he held her in his arms and followed her in his heart. Astringent together.

After crying until her eyes were red, swollen, and her throat became hoarse, she slowly stopped crying. She grabbed Jiang Shunyi's arm, looked at him with red and swollen eyes, and almost prayed, saying, "I want to go back." , send her on her last journey."

Jiang Shunyi caressed her face which was red and hot from crying, and said softly, "I'll make arrangements this afternoon, and I'll go back with you."

Lu Ruyi had no time to ask whether this would affect him. He could do it alone.

No, she also wanted to be appropriately willful and selfish. Let him go back with her for such a big thing. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle it by herself.

Jiang Shunyi kept his promise and went to ask for leave in the afternoon, put down his own errands, and changed time with others. Everyone who worked with him also knew what was happening in his family, so naturally he could change it, so that He takes a peaceful vacation.

After settling the official business, Jiang Shunyi came back to talk to his father and mother about the matter. The two looked at each other, and Jiang Yimin spoke and said, "This is a matter between the two of you. Just know your own right. Go ahead." Stay with her and take good care of her on the way. She is pregnant, so don't be impatient."

Meng Simin couldn't help but said: "Death is a big deal, but no matter what, she is still a pregnant woman. You must not rush on the road, take shortcuts and take the fast road. Her body cannot withstand such bumps, don't Forget what the doctor said, she must be stable for this pregnancy. Don’t blame mother for being nosy, this is your first child after all.”

Originally, Jiang Shunyi had expected that his parents would not agree because of the child in Ruyi's belly. Seeing that they agreed readily, they couldn't help but be jealous. He knew that his parents were taking care of him and Ruyi's emotions.

Jiang Shunyi said: "The roads on the official road are very smooth now. It won't take too long to get to Pingyang. My son will take good care of her. Please rest assured, parents."

Meng Simin took a deep breath. After her son left, she couldn't help but shake her head, looked at Jiang Yimin and said, "You really expected it."

Jiang Yimin said: "Ruyi is a child who values ​​feelings, and Shiyi is her only sister. The two grew up together since childhood. Their affection is unparalleled by others. If we were men, we would not let them go back, let alone what happens now. When the time comes, these two children will be determined to complain."
