I insist

Chapter 19: Forgotten

“You did very well today. You should know that if you had really revealed that the person had stayed in our house, our whole family would have been arrested and tortured today.”

"It's all thanks to my mother's good teaching."

Hearing that he wouldn't be scolded, Qiu Tianlei was no longer afraid.

The family returned home, but were stunned when they entered the door.

Yu Huailin sat there quietly, holding a glass of water, as if he had never left.

Qiu Tianlei was the first to react and immediately started cursing.

"You jinx! How dare you come back! If it weren't for you, I would have almost been taken away by the officials!"

As he spoke, Qiu Tianlei was about to make a move.

"Come! Today I will definitely take you to see the officials!"

Seeing Yu Huailin's anger made Qiu Tianlei completely forget what Song Miqiu had just said.

"Qiu Tianlei! Have you been ignoring everything I said?!"

Song Miqiu never expected that Qiu Tianlei would be blinded by anger the moment he turned around after she had just taught him. Such a person is really unlikely to amount to anything.

Putting aside whether they intended to protect Yu Huailin, given his current situation at their home, if the villagers gossip about him, how could their family escape involvement?

Qiu Tianlei is simply brainless!

"Mother, I...I'm not like that."

Qiu Tianlei wanted to explain that he wasn't being disobedient, but if it weren't for this man, he wouldn't have been caught by the officials, and his mother would have had to hand over all the money she had.

Others may not have seen it, but Qiu Tianlei saw it clearly.

His mother gave those officials a lot of money to save him!

But Qiu Tianlei had long forgotten that he had bought this person himself! If he hadn't been greedy for such a cheap deal in the first place, how could he have brought back such a big trouble?

Song Miqiu's expression did not soften at all as she looked at his attitude of admitting his mistake.

She had already discussed it with Yu Huailin, and she would leave on her own once he was alright.

Therefore, there is no issue of being implicated.

As long as their family members keep quiet, this matter can be completely ignored!

The matter was already settled, and they had no other choice.

Even if they hand the person over now, there will definitely be dissenting voices, saying that they have been hiding the person all along, and that they only sent him out because the bounty on the wanted poster was too high.

Song Miqiu knew the character of these villagers very well; they were truly capable of doing such a thing.

She has too many secrets about her that haven't been revealed yet, so of course she wouldn't take such a risk.

However, she couldn't tell Qiu Tianlei these things.

"I'm saying this one last time! Don't let me hear you say things like that again! Not only that, you can't even have such thoughts anymore!"

This was the first time Qiu Tianlei had ever seen his mother so angry with him. He immediately understood that his mother had truly fallen for the pretty boy he had bought.

"I understand, Mother."

Qiu Tianlei would never have any resentment towards Song Miqiu. Even though he was being reprimanded now, he understood that Song Miqiu was doing it all for his own good.

However, Qiu Tianlei began to have some thoughts in his mind when his mother, who had always been so gentle with him, suddenly started scolding him one after another.

But this idea was for someone else!
