Chapter 335 You should be thankful that this child saved your life!
Everyone in the team knew that the Li family had escaped outside Xiaoweishan County, but they had no idea what happened after they escaped.
The truth about Zhao Chunxiu's inexplicable pregnancy was now revealed, and everyone's eyes on her changed again and again.
If there was no evidence to prove Li Yuan's case, then her pregnancy was a foregone conclusion, and Zhao Chunxiu didn't even have a chance to argue.
Bu Wei was also surprised. He didn't expect Ran Qingxuan to be able to get the time so accurately.
"Are you sure, sister-in-law? Then Li Si..."
Although Ran Qingxuan's pulse-taking technique is not as accurate as that of an experienced Chinese doctor with decades of experience, it was taught by Qu Feng himself, so he still has some confidence.
"It's 90% accurate, but because Zhao Chunxiu didn't eat well during the trip, the fetus didn't get enough nutrition, so it looks like she's only two or three months pregnant, and she's not obviously pregnant!"
After that, he looked at Li Si's belly and said, "As for Li Si, she is about two and a half months pregnant, almost three months. She also has a small fetus due to insufficient nutrition.
She fainted just now because she was tired from being in shackles for more than half a month, and she was also too emotional just now. ”
Bu Wei was afraid that if too many people died, it would be difficult to report to the authorities, so he looked at Li Si with a sullen face.
"You don't have to wear shackles during the time you arrive in Zixi County, but you'd better behave yourself, otherwise I will still beat you!"
"You can kill me or chop me up, I will die anyway when I get to Zixi County..."
Li Si's eyes were empty as he looked into the distance and muttered, giving people a feeling of having given up everything.
When Zhao Chunxiu heard that Li Si was also pregnant, she looked at the people around her who were looking at them with contempt and disgust. Her face turned blue and red, and she even covered her face and pretended to bump it into Qian Zheng's knife.
"It's so embarrassing, what am I still alive for..."
Qian Zheng dodged quickly and put the knife back into the sheath.
"Zhao, you've already done what you've done, why are you afraid of losing face? It's not difficult to die, but you should be thankful that the child in your belly saved your life!"
Qian Zheng said this coldly, and signaled Zhou Ming to tie the woman's hands with a rope and tie them to the cart to prevent her from committing suicide again.
Ran Qingxuan was a little puzzled. Gu Yanchen took a few steps forward, pulled him back and explained in a low voice.
"There is a law in Northern Qi that if a prisoner is found guilty and needs to be executed and is pregnant, she can be exempted from punishment. If the crime is not serious, she may not be imprisoned after paying a certain fine."
"During exile, some female prisoners would resort to this desperate strategy to get themselves pregnant, so that they could return as concubines..."
Ran Qingxuan knew a little bit, but not everything, so he asked, "Besides that, what should I do if I don't have money?"
Gu Yanchen shrugged: "It depends on whether I have the luck. If there is a general amnesty, I might be released directly. If I'm unlucky, I'll go back to jail after giving birth, or if I have the energy, I'll be sent to chisel rocks and open mountains..."
Ran Qingxuan did have some knowledge about the ancient stone chiseling and mountain opening. After all, it was thousands of years behind the present. Manual stone chiseling and mountain opening was a life-threatening job, and people's lifespan would be shortened if they endured it.
Li Si must have heard it, his whole body shuddered, and he even touched his stomach unconsciously.
She must have thought it through. Rather than being sentenced to become a military prostitute or beheaded for murder in a month and a half, she has to rely on the baby in her belly to escape now.
Zhao Chunxiu was a smart person. Even though her adultery was exposed, she would not be sentenced to death for escaping because she had a child in her belly.
The two of them might have escaped the disaster because of the baby in their belly, but Li Xinyuan became a huge joke because of this. Not only did he become a father in one day, but he also became a grandfather...
The farce ended just like that. After returning to Gu's house, Ran Qingxuan drank thick porridge, thinking that if Li Xinyun had not intended to harm them, he would not have given him some snake venom.
If he hadn't lost too much blood from the bloodletting, these things wouldn't have been revealed.
After all, the cause of the incident lies with Ran Qingxuan.
I originally thought that the cancer of the Li family would be completely eradicated when they got there, but I didn't expect that two children would show up along the way.
Moreover, Emperor Mingde is now in a controlled situation, and it is not certain whether the imperial edict sentencing the Li family will be issued in a short time.
Come to think of it, it’s really a huge loss!
How could Gu Yanchen not see Ran Qingxuan's annoyance, and he tried his best to comfort her after leaving.
"This matter is not your fault. If their family escapes punishment, it is God's mercy on those two poor children."
"I know, but I just feel so angry. Li Si almost killed you and Xuan'er. The kid still can't help but tremble when he sees her. If I had known earlier, I should have killed her with a knife."
Ran Qingxuan twirled the corner of his clothes, a hint of anger flashing across his cold and unworldly face.
"But if you really do it, one will die and two will be killed. You will definitely not feel good when you find out." As he said that, Gu Yanchen slightly turned his head to glance at Ran Qingxuan's expression.
"That's true. Why didn't God send down a thunderbolt to kill her..."
"boom..."
“Crackle…”
As soon as Ran Qingxuan finished speaking, a loud thunder suddenly sounded in the dark sky.
The timid children screamed subconsciously and crawled into their parents' arms in fear.
Gu Yanchen stretched out his hand, took the person into his arms, and looked up at the sky.
The next second, a drop of rain hit his straight nose, and then another drop fell on his slightly stubbled chin.
“It’s raining.”
The weather was not very good in the morning. The team had set out half an hour ago, but the sky was still as dark as when they got up early.
The officers also felt the raindrops falling on their faces, so they temporarily stopped the procession and took out their raincoats to put on.
But the next second, Zhao Chunxiu shamelessly said, "Give me a straw raincoat."
Bu Wei and the officers ignored her. Unexpectedly, Zhao Chunxiu tried to snatch it away. Wu Dashan wanted to teach her a lesson, but was stopped by Bu Wei.
"Giving two raincoats to the Li family is a good deed for myself."
The officers were somewhat surprised by their leader's behavior today, and felt puzzled, but they still gave the Li family two raincoats reluctantly as they were told.
Ran Qingxuan was also a little surprised by Bu Wei's behavior, but she soon got the answer during the lunch break.
The rain never stopped from the moment it started, and it was not until almost noon that the prisoners found a place to shelter from the rain.
The bamboos growing on the hillside poked their heads out, not only blocking most of the road, but also temporarily blocking the incessant rain.
Bu Wei was afraid that he would not be able to light a fire and cook lunch, so he asked people to spread out the uncut oilcloth and set up supports in the middle and around the edges. The officials stayed inside to light the fire, but he did not expect Bu Wei to call the Gu family in as well.
"Your old lady is already in poor health, and it will be bad if she gets caught in the rain..."
The Gu family did not refuse and simply went under the tarpaulin that could temporarily protect them from the wind and rain.
