Jiang Qinyu sneered, then said, word by word, "My sister-in-law died the day she gave birth to Shufan and Pan'er. If you want to say that you are the Liu who ran away with a merchant from out of town, I don't mind sending you to the county government to confront the Hu family."
When she opened the door and didn't see Shufan and Pan'er, she knew that the children probably didn't want to acknowledge Liu Yuqing. If that was the case, then things would be easier.
Upon hearing Jiang Qinyu's words, Liu Yuqing's dry sob suddenly caught in her throat, and she stared at her in utter astonishment, "You... how did you know?"
Her sister-in-law used to stay at home all the time, and was the most virtuous and gentle woman. They had just met once in the county today, so how did she know that she had run away with a man surnamed Hu back then?
"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place." Jiang Qinyu stared at her coldly.
Jiang Xiucai died while chasing after this woman, and the original owner of this body had inquired about her in the town.
Liu Yuqing thought no one knew about her flirting with the man surnamed Hu, but in reality, there are always gossipy people everywhere. Moreover, Liu Yuqing was in her late pregnancy when she was flirting with that businessman surnamed Hu. It was simply a pipe dream to think that she wouldn't attract attention.
Back then, outsiders were hesitant to speak to Jiang Xiucai because of his status, even if they noticed something.
So much so that when Liu Yuqing ran away with someone after giving birth, the neighbors started offering clues.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuqing knew she was in trouble. Her eyes darted around, and she immediately cried out, "Xiaoyu, I'm innocent! It was all that Hu guy who forced me! He said he knew a lot of bandits and people in the government. If I didn't go with him, he would send people to kill you... I, I did it all for you!"
She cried so bitterly that people who didn't know the backstory could easily be fooled by her.
Jiang Qinyu scoffed, "I see you won't admit it until you're faced with a death sentence. Since you claim you were forced and threatened, then come with me to the county government office and confront the Hu family. Do you dare?"
"I..." Liu Yuqing choked, her expression turning very unpleasant. "I barely managed to escape. If I run into them again, wouldn't I be walking into a trap? Besides, they're all one family. They'll definitely be speaking up for the guy surnamed Hu. Don't be fooled by them!"
Jiang Qinyu feigned ignorance and asked, "Since they did something wrong, and the county magistrate is there to stand up for you, why don't you dare to confront them?"
"I..." Liu Yuqing's gaze wandered, but she didn't dare to look at Jiang Qinyu, and she couldn't say anything to refute her.
She was lying anyway, so naturally she didn't dare to confront anyone!
Moreover, the reason the Hu family kicked her out was not only because Hu's wife disliked her, but also because she had taken something very important from the Hu family.
If they confronted each other face-to-face, not only would she have no chance of winning, but the Hu family would also realize that she had taken the item, and the consequences would be dire…
Thinking of this, Liu Yuqing covered her face and sobbed, "I have my own reasons... Since you don't trust me, Xiaoyu, then I'll leave..."
As she spoke, she lifted her foot to leave, but stopped when she reached Jiang Qinyu.
"Xiaoyu, no matter what, I am still Shufan and Pan'er's biological mother. I will come back to see them when you have calmed down and trust me." Liu Yuqing glanced at the Lu family's rooms with reluctance, as if she had high hopes for the two children.
However, the children still did not appear.
Jiang Qinyu also clenched her hands tightly, trying her best to suppress the urge to stop the person.
She didn't want to stop her to do anything, but to send this woman who abandoned her husband and children to jail!
But thinking of Shufan and Pan'er, she held back.
In any era, children whose parents have been to prison will be looked down upon.
Jiang Qinyu would rather everyone believe that Liu Yuqing is dead than have Shufan and Pan'er be gossiped about because of her.
Seeing that no one asked her to stay, Liu Yuqing gritted her teeth in anger and could only lower her head and quickly leave the Lu family's courtyard.
Chen immediately rushed to Jiang Qinyu's side, "Eldest daughter-in-law, don't let such a person upset you and make you sick, it's not worth it."
This was the first time she had seen the barely suppressed hatred and anger in Jiang Qinyu's eyes. Afraid that she might hurt herself, she thought she had to quickly persuade her.
Jiang Qinyu shook her head without saying anything, then asked, "Where are Shufan and Pan'er?"
No sooner had he said that than two small figures rushed out of the kitchen.
"aunt!"
The two children rushed into Jiang Qinyu's arms. Shufan's face was tense, his lips were pursed and he didn't say a word, while Pan'er's little mouth was pouting and she looked like she was about to cry.
"It's okay, don't worry," Jiang Qinyu said softly, patting their heads.
Lu Yanzheng spoke up from the side, "Let's take the children home first, and come back later."
“Yes, yes, you all go back and rest for a while. We’re having dumplings tonight. There are so many of us, it’ll take a while to wrap them,” Chen said quickly.
Jiang Qinyu felt grateful and smiled, "We've troubled Mother. Let's go back now."
"What nonsense are you talking about, child? How can we, as family, speak like two different people?" Madam Chen scolded.
Lu Yanzheng thanked the two elders, then picked up both children and a handsome smile appeared on his usually serious and indifferent face. "Come on, your uncle will take you home to wash your faces before you come back."
Jiang Qinyu followed behind them, feeling depressed.
In modern times, her father was a womanizer who used his family's money to have all sorts of women. Mistresses were nothing compared to him; he could date five, six, seven, or even eight women at the same time.
Before the time travel, the man finally got his comeuppance. While traveling with who knows how many extramarital affairs he had, he was involved in a plane crash and died on the spot. As his heirs, she and her mother naturally inherited his estate.
Her mother had no interest in running the supermarket, so on the day she received the inheritance, she transferred her share to her, making her the sole owner of the supermarket.
Having grown up in such an environment, she deeply abhorred infidelity. Moreover, Liu Yuqing had indirectly caused the death of the original owner's older brother, so in her eyes, this woman could never be forgiven.
But Shufan and Pan'er are truly innocent. They have never received maternal love since birth, and they haven't enjoyed paternal love for long either. Now Liu Yuqing has appeared, and they don't know if she will disrupt their future lives.
Jiang Qinyu took a deep breath. She couldn't let things develop on their own. She had to ask Shufan and Pan'er for their opinions first, and see what they said before deciding how to deal with Liu Yuqing's problem.
However, what Jiang Qinyu didn't know was that after seeing the family return, Chen Xiuer made an excuse to go out to pick wild vegetables, and quickly ran out of the village with a basket on her back. Before long, she caught up with Liu Yuqing, who was cursing as she walked.
"Sister-in-law, are you really my cousin's sister-in-law?" Chen Xiuer rushed up to her and asked earnestly.
