Shen Jie's reputation as a cruel official was not earned for nothing. In the Censorate, countless beautiful women committed crimes and were whipped and branded without exception. In serious cases, their skin was peeled off and their bones were removed.
These inhumane punishments, let alone being used on Du Yaoyao, would probably cause the little girl to collapse physically and mentally if she were dragged to watch.
When Song Xingkai traveled through time, the Song family was already tied to the prince's marriage relationship. Ruan was the prince's sister-in-law, and Marquis Yongning stood on the prince's side, and his political stance could not be changed.
Chen Jie and the prince will be the biggest winners. Song Xingkai has advised Yongning Hou to abandon the dark and follow the light, but it is easy to get on the pirate ship but difficult to get off. The Song family and the Ruan family have reached an alliance. Yongning Hou is obsessed with the credit of following the dragon, so he accuses him of shrinking from party struggles and not participating in political struggles.
Fortunately, after Du Yaoyao revealed her identity, she followed Shen Jie and received good news. It was better for Shen Jie to love and pamper her than to get involved with a loser like him.
Song Xingkai thought about saving himself, such as leaving and hiding his identity, but how could he abandon his beloved wife and young children? During the three years of solitude, he and Ruan became a real couple.
When faced with the modern Du Yaoyao, he felt ashamed. He made her a promise, but he failed her physically and mentally.
Song Xingkai would rather Du Yaoyao not know about his arrival and not be implicated by him.
She is smart and tenacious, and is the kind of girl who can do well anywhere.
Hearing Song Xingkai mention "Chenjie", Du Yaoyao pretended to smile strongly, "In modern times, I thought I could be with you, but I didn't expect that after traveling here, we are each a wife and a husband."
Du Yaoyao and Shen Jie had made love many times, so she would not be so naive as to think that Song Xingkai and Ruan had been married for three years and just chatted under the covers every day.
Adults understand the things that happen between them without having to be told.
Song Xingkai apologized softly, "I'm sorry." Not only did he let her down, but he also had no ability to save her.
Chen Jie was a jackal, a tiger or a leopard, and he watched her survive in the tiger's mouth.
"There's nothing to be sorry about," Du Yaoyao pretended to smile indifferently, "Chen Jie is very good to me." In addition to his moodiness and bad temper, he is also greedy and has a strong desire for control.
"Yaoyao, you are a good girl..." Song Xingkai stared at her, hesitant to speak, and urged her, "Go back, don't come here again, and don't worry about the Song family's affairs!"
"Brother, is this your first day meeting me?" Du Yaoyao said seriously, "Even if you weren't here, I would still be in charge of the affairs of Prince Chen's Mansion, the Ruan family, and the Song family. The ancient practice of collective guilt was too cruel. When the master made a mistake, all the innocent servants would die with him."
She thought for a moment, "I'm not just taking care of you, I'm taking care of Chen Jie. I don't want him to become the murderous and brutal person in the book. I've thought about running away, I've thought about dying, but what I've thought about most is that I hope he will change."
"I am a weak woman with this appearance, where can I go? Women here have no human rights and will be openly robbed and occupied by gangsters and bureaucrats."
"If I die, I don't know if I can return to the modern era. Now that I hear you say that, I don't think I can go back."
"If he doesn't change, I will have to put up with him. The feudal aristocracy's idea of treating human life as worthless is suffocating, especially since he is my husband. I cannot accept his values."
Du Yaoyao lost control of her emotions as she spoke. She squatted on the ground with her hands on her knees, tears streaming down her face.
"Yaoyao." Song Xingkai couldn't help himself any longer and put his arm around Du Yaoyao's shoulders and patted her gently, "What if he never changes?"
"I don't know..." Du Yaoyao hesitated and encouraged herself, "I will try my best. I will definitely try my best." She would not be driven to death or run away by him.
Song Xingkai didn't know what to say. Chen Jie is really a very difficult man to deal with. He is cold and arrogant. It is hard to imagine which woman he would obey.
Song Xingkai sighed distressedly, "Yaoyao..."
Du Yaoyao buried her face in his arms and rubbed it, begging, "Brother, can you hug me?"
