I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

Although the reason Gu Zhaoming gave was shameful, it also dispelled everyone's doubts.

After all, this was just Manager Zhang's suspicion of the two of them, and there was no evidence.

Besides, the reasons given by Gu Zhaoming were sufficient. After all, no one would easily tell others about such things, right?

"Ms. Gu Shen, is what your husband said true?" The county magistrate looked at Shen Yuan with a coercive look.

Although the county magistrate no longer doubted Gu Zhaoming's behavior at this time, the necessary procedures had to be followed.

Shen Yuan felt the gazes of the people around her, and her face turned red. She thought about the consequences of her denial, so she nodded and replied in a mosquito-like voice, "Yes."

Shopkeeper Zhang looked at Erliuzi and the others, then at Gu Zhaoming and the others, and couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake.

After confirming that Leopard and his companions did not know the young couple from the Gu family, the county magistrate announced the verdict.

"In that case, the Gu couple will be released without charge, and the arsonist..."

In the end, Erliuzi, Brother Bao and others were sentenced to ten years of exile, and the mastermind behind the scenes was fined two hundred silver coins and also sentenced to exile.

As for Shen Rong and others who had informed on the matter in advance, they were not mentioned by Manager Zhang.

This was something Shen Rong specifically requested from Shopkeeper Zhang because she didn't want others to know that he was kidnapped by a second-rate guy, for fear that it would damage her reputation.

The truth was, she didn't want Shen Yuan to know that she had anything to do with the arson.

After a little thought, everyone could understand Shen Rong's choice.

So regarding this case, Shen Rong and the Shen brothers never appeared from beginning to end.

Although it was not pleasant to hear Gu Zhaoming admit the incident in public, it did not bother others. However, the scholar's reputation was tarnished after all.

In short, because of this incident, Gu Zhaoming got his wish and got a reputation in the eyes of the county magistrate. Of course, this reputation was not a very good one.

Although the case was tried in the county government, some news was still reported back.

When those people were escorted to the county town by the yamen runners, Shen Rong and his group did not go with them to watch the fun. Instead, they rented a ox cart and returned to Taohua Village early in the morning.

"Hey, have you heard? Gu Tongsheng and his wife were arrested as accomplices of the arsonist for doing that thing in the corner of the alley in Qingliu Town last night!"

"Really? No way? Gu Tongsheng is a scholar!"

"Why not? It's absolutely true! He admitted it to the county magistrate himself!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... It seems that this scholar is no different from those guys who hide in haystacks in the countryside!"

"Hehe... who said it wasn't! There are quite a few tricks, I wonder if Shen Yuan's small body can handle it..."

As soon as Shen Rong entered the village, before she had walked far, she saw a group of people sitting outside a house near the entrance, basking in the sun and talking loudly.

Everything they said fell into her ears exactly.

Shen Rong looked at her elder and second brothers.

Who did this? How could the news spread throughout Taohua Village so quickly?

Shen Rong held back her laughter. She really didn't expect that Gu Zhaoming would use this excuse to clear his suspicion!

She jumped off the ox cart and walked towards the group of aunts!

"Aunt Wang, is this true?" Shen Rong pretended to be skeptical.

Sure enough, when Shen Rong asked this question, Aunt Wang San, who had been speaking the most enthusiastically just now, raised her voice quite a bit.

"Daughter-in-law Changsheng, this was said by the grandson-in-law of my sister-in-law's younger sister and my brother-in-law's younger brother-in-law. He works in the county government and said it himself. How could it be false?"

Shen Rong wanted to find out more details, but the aunts just looked at her and Changsheng, winked at each other, and smiled ambiguously.

Shen Rong suddenly thought of her relationship with Gu Zhaoming, and immediately regretted going forward to inquire about the news. She didn't know what to ask, so she had to pull Changsheng and follow her brother out of the door.

Sure enough, before Shen Rong had walked far, she heard the voices of several aunts talking behind her.

"Once this Changsheng wife heard about Gu Tongsheng, she was so interested. Could it be that she is still obsessed with Gu Tongsheng?"

Another voice said, "It's hard to say. That idiot is just an idiot after all, and Gu Tongsheng is a scholar with a promising future. If it were you or me, would we be able to let him go?"

"I think this is most likely the case. In the past, Shen Sanniang never asked gossipers like us about anything.

But just now when we entered the village, as soon as she heard us talking about Gu Tongsheng, she couldn't wait to come over. It would be strange if she didn't have any ideas!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the aunties who were sitting and chatting about family matters actually looked like they agreed.

Aunt Wang said with a look of regret: "It's a pity that Shen Sanniang is so sincere. Gu Tongsheng would rather like Shen Zhu's bean sprouts than marry Shen Sanniang..."

Shen Rong did not hear these words, nor did she expect that they would make such speculations behind her back. She also did not know that some gossip would be spread later about her obsession with Gu Zhaoming.

She and Changsheng said goodbye to their two brothers at the door and then entered the yard.

At home, Grandpa Six and Grandma Six are not at home.

They must have really thought that she and Changsheng just spent one more night together, so they didn't take it seriously.

Seeing this, Shen Rong also breathed a sigh of relief. She pulled Changsheng into the house and told him not to tell anyone about her disappearance and what happened in the inn.

Changsheng nodded in agreement.

Shen Rong was worried last night and only slept for a while in the second half of the night. In the morning, she got up early and drove the ox cart back to the village. When she got home, she felt very sleepy.

"Changsheng, I'm going to sleep for a while. Remember to wake me up to cook at noon. If grandpa and grandma come back, remember to tell me." Shen Rong took off her coat and went to bed.

"Oh." Changsheng squatted beside the cabinet in the corner and began to count the dates.

He didn't have time to look at them yesterday, and as soon as he came back today, he started thinking about those dates.

At the Gu family, Liu heard the gossip spread by the villagers. At first, she didn't believe it. She even quarreled with the man surnamed Wang for a long time. But when she heard him speak so confidently, she began to believe it a little.

After noon, seeing that her son and daughter-in-law had not returned yet, Liu waited for them at the entrance of the village early.

The county town was far away, so Gu Zhaoming and Shen Yuan had to pay to take a ox cart from the county back to Qingshi Town. If the ox cart wanted to take the two of them back to Taohua Village, the fare would have to double.

Shen Yuan decided to stay overnight in Qingliu Town last night and had spent all the money he had. In order to save a few copper coins, the two of them had to walk back from the town.

It took more than an hour to walk there.

As soon as Shen Yuan entered the village, a figure suddenly pounced towards her.

"Snapped!"

"Bitch!" Liu raised her hand and slapped Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan was caught off guard. He felt sparks flying in front of his eyes and his face suddenly felt hot.

It took her a while to realize that she had been beaten!

Liu still felt unsatisfied and raised her hand to hit him again, but Shen Yuan dodged by moving his body.

"Bitch! You seduced my son and ruined his reputation, and you still dare to hide?" Liu was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, and she was about to pounce on him again with her teeth bared.

Liu moved very quickly, and when Gu Zhaoming came to his senses, Liu was rushing towards Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan was not someone who would just stand there and get beaten, so he immediately hid behind Gu Zhaoming.

Many people nearby saw this farce.

When Gu Zhaoming heard this, what was there that he didn't understand?

All the villagers knew what they did in the county government!

Noticing the villagers gathering over here, his temples began to throb.

He took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to stop Liu, and said gloomily: "Mom! Go back and tell me!"

Liu looked up and saw that her son was really angry, so she put down her raised hand awkwardly.
