Wen Qingqing, who had been deliberately forgotten, suddenly came up in conversation, and Qin ZhenGuo and Lin Ruyi panicked.
They didn't know whether Wen Qingqing was dead or alive; if she had died, they worried whether the investigation would lead to them, but if she was alive, the consequences would be even more serious for them. Wen Qingqing would definitely reveal the truth; by then, Qin ZhenGuo thought it would just be a bit of trouble at home; as long as Shu Yun could be pacified, all would be well.
In hindsight, they had been too impulsive to deal with Wen Qingqing.
But Lin Ruyi cared; if Wen Qingqing spilled everything, she would be utterly ruined.
Everyone would know that the child in her belly could be Qin ZhenGuo's, or it could be Ji Chun's. In that case, she would certainly be the one to be sacrificed; Shu Yun, Qin Xue, and Madam Ji would wish her dead, and neither Ji Chun nor Qin ZhenGuo would protect her.
At the thought of this, Lin Ruyi felt her whole body tremble.
