Chapter 308: Hung herself in the Middle of the Night

Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars

Lu Jiao’s face fell after she heard Xie Yunjin’s discovery, “Classmate Han’s wife is not going to stop, is she?”

Xie Yunjin turned his head, “She’s no longer classmate Han’s wife. He divorced her.”

“Huh?!” Lu Jiao was shocked. That was fast.

“Their parents agreed to this?”

Xie Yunjin’s eyes dimmed. He chose not to hide from Lu Jiao and announced slowly, “Du Lanzhu’s been hooking up with her cousin. All the neighbors knew. Only Classmate Han and his family didn’t know. So I found a way for the families to find out.

Now, neither family has an excuse to say no. Therefore, Classmate Han divorced Du Lanzhu. The woman suspected you caused the families to find out so she hired people to capture you.”

As Xie Yunjin got to the end of the story, his handsome face had gone dark. He was the one who plotted it and Lu Jiao was not involved.

Lu Jiao wanted to curse that Du Lanzhu got what was coming for her. However, Du Lanzhu ordered people to hurt her, which was very unlucky.

“I am so unlu-”

Before she finished her sentence, Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yunjin. She basically received the punishment on Xie Yunjin’s behalf. However, Xie Yunjin did what he did to help her. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Lu Jiao’s emotions were complex and the turbulence she felt was rare. In the end, she merely whispered, “Let’s go eat dinner.”

Xie Yunjin followed him out closely. As they walked, he said, “Don’t worry, Officer Zhao promised me to pry open that kidnapper’s mouth somehow. Once he sells her out, we can arrest Du Lanzhu. Once she’s in jail, there are plenty of ways to deal with her.”

Lu Jiao didn’t say anything but did remind him quietly, “Be careful when you do things. Make sure you don’t get hurt. Remember, you have to be responsible for the four little ones.’

Xie Yunjin’s feet stopped moving and he stared at Lu Jiao. Was she worried about him? It appeared that way.

The two went out to have dinner. The four little ones’ spirits had been back up since noon and they were extremely excited. They sat beside Xie Yunjin and started to tell him their ideas regarding their room.

“Mommy said we can study soon.”

The First Born was very much like Xie Yunjin and loved to study.

The Second Born nodded. He wanted to play with the slides but mommy said he had to wait until the paint dried.

The Third Born grinned at the room full of people. He felt so happy to be with his mommy, daddy, and brothers.

The Fourth Born excitedly told Xie Yunjin, “Mommy said she’d teach us math. And she’ll teach us how to act and role-play.”

Xie Yunjin listened and then suggested to Lu Jiao, “I can teach them how to paint and write. What do you say?”

Lu Jiao didn’t want Xie Yunjin to teach the children and shook her head, “You better not. In a while, your legs will heal completely and you’ll be returning to school in addition to helping out Magistrate Hu. I’m certain you’ll be very busy and won’t have time to teach the four children.

I’ve thought about it. We should hire two tutors for the children. They shouldn’t be too pedantic and should be liberal with their beliefs. I want them to be open-minded because, in our family, I prioritize the children’s happiness over academic success. I don’t want someone who’s inflexible and only teaches off a book.’

Xie Yunjin thought over what Lu Jiao said and agreed. He truly won’t have much time. Right now, he was tutoring others and assisting Magistrate Hu.

Time was of the essence and he won’t have the capacity to teach the children.

“Okay, then tomorrow, I will start a search and when I find someone suitable, I will invite them over.”

Lu Jiao nodded. She wasn’t familiar with the district and wanted to rely on Xie Yunjin for this.

After dinner, the family cleaned up and went to sleep early. Today, to much of the children’s excitement, Lu Jiao protectively invited the four little ones to sleep with her. Their mother has never invited them before.

It was because Lu Jiao was worried that the Third Born would have nightmares after what happened today. Perhaps it was better for him to sleep beside her.

As expected, the Third Born slept well next to her and didn’t have any nightmares.

Lu Jiao finally stopped worrying.

Not long after she fell asleep, she heard a commotion coming over from the Su family. There were noises of people screaming and crying.

Lu Jiao thought of Lady Xu and wondered if she did anything.

Lu Jiao figured that the noises would die down after some time. However, not only did it not quiet down, it got louder and louder. Even the four little ones woke up. They rubbed their eyes and mumbled, “Mommy, what’s happening?”

“Is there a fight?”

Lu Jiao patted their heads and comforted them, “It’s okay. Soon it will be quiet.”

Just then, from outside, Feng Zhi rushed in to report to her, “Lady, the master and steward Lu are here.”

Lu Jiao’s expression changed a little. Why were Xie Yunjin and Lu Gui here?

Lu Jiao glanced at the four little ones and said softly, “I’ll go check out what’s going on and I’ll come back soon. Sister Feng Zhi will stay here with you.”

The four little ones didn’t decline. Lu Jiao got dressed in the bathroom and went outside.

In the garden, Xie Yunjin and Lu Gui were waiting for her. Lu Gui yelled in a hurry, “Sister, Lady Xu hung herself.”

Lu Jiao’s expression grew ugly. Lady Xu hung herself? Wasn’t she going to think of ways to deal with her disgusting in-laws? Why did she decide to kill herself?

Just then, Lu Gui added hastily, “Her daughter knocked on our door and begged for you to save her mother. She said she heard from the four little ones that you’re a great doctor and want your help.”

Lu Jiao headed outside at an insane speed.

If Lady Xu really tried to kill herself, then she was partially at fault. If she didn’t say those things to Lady Xu, Lady Xu wouldn’t have tried to deal with her mother and sister-in-law. If she didn’t try anything, she might still be safe right now.

Lu Jiao truly didn’t expect Lady Xu would choose suicide. What must have happened for her to feel so hopeless that she chose suicide?

Behind her, Xie Yunjin followed out of fear that the Su family would hurt Lu Jiao.

Lu Gui was also worried that something might happen and followed.

The group left the Xie manor and saw that Officer Zhao and Lady Lu were on their way out too. Everyone here was neighbors and naturally needed to make sure everything was okay given all the loud noises. Plus, Officer Zhao was an enforcer here.

Outside the Xie gate, Lady Xu’s daughter, Xu Jinxiu, saw Lu Jiao and knelt down to beg.

“Aunty Lu, please, please save my mother.. Save her please!”
