Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1350: How Could You Not Tell Me About Such a Big Thing

This time, Du Zhilin indeed broke the law. If it weren’t for Xinyan and He Jinxuan’s timely arrival, the old couple would have been in serious trouble. Not pursuing it wasn’t the issue.

Moreover, the old couple didn’t want to see them at all, so no matter how much trouble they caused outside, they just wouldn’t come out.

Du Zhilin’s parents, seeing Mr. Du and Mrs. Du continuously avoiding them, ran off to ask the Du Family clan members for help.

Unfortunately, this time no one stepped forward. After all, it was attempted murder, and last time using family ties to force Mr. Du had already caused a rift between him and the clan. No one wanted to offend the Du couple over a good-for-nothing again; they knew what was more important.

Besides attending a few weddings, Xinyan came every day to accompany her teacher’s wife, who, under the meticulous care of her senior sister-in-law, recovered quickly and was allowed by Mr. Du to move around.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Shen Guqing, taking a break, heard from Zhang Yueshan about what happened to the Du Family.

Shen Guqing was furious: "How could you not tell me about such a big matter?"

Zhang Yueshan worried she’d become emotionally distressed, affecting the child in her belly: "Guqing, listen to me. It was the master and mistress’s idea. You’ve been busy preparing your thesis these past few days, and they didn’t want you distracted.

Don’t worry, the master and mistress’s health has already improved."

Shen Guqing’s eyes welled up with tears: "You know my situation; I have no family ties. The master, mistress, senior and junior siblings have been my family all these years. It’s heartbreaking to learn of such a big matter only now."

Zhang Yueshan quickly pulled her into his embrace: "I understand, I understand. That’s why once you were done with your work, I immediately told you about it. Let’s head over now, okay?"

Shen Guqing couldn’t think of anything else in her anxious rush and hurried over to her teacher.

When she arrived, the mistress and Xinyan were tasting horse-hoof cakes made by her senior sister-in-law.

Seeing the mistress well, she felt relieved but instantly teared up.

The others noticed her, and Mrs. Du spoke first: "Come and try your senior-in-law’s handiwork."

Xinyan stood up: "Senior sister, come over and sit."

Everyone saw her expression and understood.

Mrs. Du pulled her over: "What’s the matter? We’re all fine. Not telling you was our agreement. Don’t blame Yueshan."

Upon hearing this, Shen Guqing felt even more aggrieved: "But senior and junior siblings knew, only I didn’t. The master and mistress always protected me. Yet, during such a big event, I didn’t help at all."

Senior sister-in-law Wang Rong quickly soothed: "You’re pregnant at an older age and busy with grading matters. We didn’t inform you because we care. Don’t get stubborn, and don’t vent on Yueshan, okay?"

Shen Guqing realized she was being pretentious and everyone was acting in her interest: "I understand, senior sister-in-law."

Wang Rong finally smiled and pushed a plate of horse-hoof cakes to her: "Try them, freshly made."

Seeing his wife smile, Zhang Yueshan breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled He Jinxuan aside for a smoke as he entered.

Due to the severe nature of Du Zhilin’s crime and the pressure from various parties, a quick result was reached: ten years of imprisonment.

After the verdict, Du Zhilin’s parents went to the Du Family to cause a scene, but He Jinxuan had anticipated this and made arrangements in advance. As soon as they appeared, law enforcement officers showed up at the Du residence.

Except for Du Zhilin’s parents, other relatives realized it was over. They understood it wasn’t Mr. and Mrs. Du’s fault and didn’t want to be dragged into the police station during the New Year, promising Mr. Du: "Don’t worry, we will keep an eye on them and won’t let them cause trouble again."

Later, with everyone watching, they forcibly took them away, finally bringing the matter to an end.

On the other side, in Ji City at the He Family, after receiving the package and letter sent by Xinyan: "Old man, the third daughter-in-law is pregnant. Should we send something over?"

Mr. He, smoking, looked at the things on the kang: "Give Yanqing a call, ask her to visit before the New Year. After the New Year, we’ll go ourselves."
