Then, Li Tingxue said to her worriedly, "Until this troublesome matter is completely resolved, I really don't dare to let my sister-in-law or brother-in-law take my sons home!
You don't know, just like when I went back to my parents' home today, I brought several strong guards with me! On weekdays, I was so scared that I didn't even dare to leave the Shen family's gate.
Hearing this, Ji Wanru couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah! Does anyone else in our family know about this?"
Li Tingxue shook her head slightly with a worried look on her face and sighed, "How could I have the courage to tell this? If my parents and Xingzhou knew about this, they would definitely force me to divorce Shen Xiuyan."
Ji Wanru nodded sympathetically and said, "That's right, when faced with such a dangerous situation, anyone would want to stay away from danger, right?
Not to mention, the Shen family is now in such a dangerous situation. Big sister, how can you still stay there with peace of mind?"
At this moment, Ji Wanru no longer cared about the troubles between herself and Li Xingzhou. After all, ever since she married into the Li family, she and her elder sister-in-law had always gotten along quite well.
So emotionally and logically, she didn't want to see her elder sister-in-law encounter any accident.
So, Ji Wanru earnestly advised Li Tingxue: "Sister, even if you are reluctant to leave your brother-in-law, you can't risk your life!
You might as well pretend to divorce for now. After the Shen family disaster is over, it won’t be too late for you to…”
Li Tingxue sighed heavily, his face full of worry, "Do you think I haven't considered the matter of divorce? But the other party wants to destroy the entire Shen family!
Even if Xu Chenxiuyan and I successfully divorce and leave the Shen family, what about the children your brother-in-law and I have? Those children are all descendants of the Shen family, and they will definitely not let them go easily.
If all my children meet with misfortune, what is the point of me living alone?"
"Then... then, Big Sister, even if you hide outside with the children alone, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape this disaster?!"
Li Tingxue nodded solemnly, then looked at Ji Wanru earnestly and said, "That's why I wanted to ask you and Xingzhou for a favor."
Then, she told Ji Wanru everything she was thinking.
It turns out that if things develop to a desperate point, she will plan an "accident" for the children so that they can all escape.
After this so-called "accident," the children would become orphans with no connection to the Shen family. At that time, Ji Wanru and Xingzhou would only need to secretly take care of them.
After all, everyone knows that the Li family is her maternal family. If she suddenly adopts these children in public, it might put them in danger again, make them the focus of other people's attention, and be targeted again.
After all, if you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will grow again when the spring breeze comes. If you understand this, how could those bad guys not know it!
Therefore, she had to arrange everything carefully and not reveal any flaws, otherwise her children would suffer any kind of persecution in the future.
But if the Li family was just doing it out of kindness and occasionally donated some food and drink to the orphans in the orphanage, then in this case, it would not arouse other people's vigilance and suspicion.
After all, such good deeds are not uncommon among aristocratic families. Usually some families will deliberately gain a good reputation.
It is common for them to give out porridge in the middle of winter or donate money and supplies to orphanages to show others and prove their charity.
However, at this moment, Ji Wanru's eyes instantly turned red after hearing Li Tingxue's words that sounded like entrusting her son to someone else.
As a mother herself, how could she not understand what Li Tingxue was thinking deep down at this moment?
Obviously, Li Tingxue had already made plans for the worst - to feed the tiger with himself and to conceal the truth from the world.
The purpose is to do everything possible to seek even the slightest hope of survival for their children.
"Of course, this is undoubtedly the worst-case scenario. But if things really develop to that point, it means we have completely failed."
Li Tingxue continued with a serious expression, "When the time comes, you must persuade my parents and Xingzhou and the others to quickly draw a clear line between themselves and the Shen family.
Even if we can stay as far away from each other as possible, it would be best if we could completely sever all ties."
"...We might as well use this division of our family property as an excuse. Announce to the public that I, a married woman, dared to return and seize the family property.
This led to irreconcilable conflicts between me and my younger siblings."
"And the more intense and lively the publicity for this dispute is, the less likely you will be implicated.
Only in this way can we protect your safety and prevent you from being affected by the disaster."
To be on the safe side, Li Tingxue also persuaded Ji Wanru to make a second-hand plan, after all, that was the safest option.
At this moment, Ji Wanru had no time to be angry with Li Xingzhou, because there were still many things to do.
Li Xingzhou didn't know what his eldest sister said to his wife after she suddenly came back. He only heard from the servants that the two had a fierce quarrel and then parted on bad terms.
As for the specific reason that led to the breakdown of the talks between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, the servants didn't know, and the lady was talking with an angry look on her face, which made him completely confused.
