Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 367

Chapter 367: Chapter 367 Reporting a Crime, Getting Arrested

Zhang Baoxiang never expected that her sister-in-law would conceal her knowledge and act so brashly.

She had already lost face when she used tricks to marry Ye Bingkun years ago, and she couldn’t compare to the Sisters-in-law from the other two branches of the family, so she had always felt inferior. Now, though it was her own daughter who had benefited, she didn’t want any part of this advantage. She feared that the other two Sisters-in-law would look down on her even more. Their branch of the family was already less prominent than the two sons from the main house. How could they not be even more disgraced by this incident?

She sat there like a log, completely dumbfounded.

Even though the matter had been cleared up, there was no possibility it would just end there.

Xia Dongxue insisted on reporting it to the police, and Elder Master Ye agreed with his daughter-in-law’s decision.

Hence, when the police arrived for Qin Lijuan, who was hiding at home too afraid to meet anyone, she exclaimed, "No, you can’t arrest me."

Whispers spread among the onlookers from the family compound: "What’s the situation? Why was Nurse Chief Qin taken away by the police?" and "Not sure, but she must have done something shady; otherwise, why would the police come knocking?"

When Wu Shengjun, Qin Lijuan’s husband, received the news and returned, Qin Lijuan had already been taken away. With sweat beading on his forehead, he went to the gatekeeper’s post to call the Qin family. "Hello, Eldest Sister-in-law? Is Dad there? I need to speak to him; it’s urgent," he said into the phone.

Old Master Qin was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading the newspaper when he heard his eldest daughter-in-law say, "Dad, it’s a call for you, from Shengjun."

Taking the phone, he asked, "Hello, Shengjun, what’s the matter?"

Wu Shengjun, frantic, stumbled over his words, "Dad, Lijuan’s in trouble! She... she’s been taken away by the police."

Old Master Qin, also startled, asked, "What? What exactly happened?"

Wu Shengjun, taking a moment to compose himself, replied, "I’m not sure myself. Some kind person from the family compound rushed to give me the message. By the time I got back, the police had already taken her away."

Now Old Master Qin was anxious. "Alright," he said, "you go and check on the situation first. I’ll hurry to contact some people and find out what exactly has happened."
