Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 298

No matter what others said, Zhao Zedong insisted that he had no money and would not repay his debts.

Seeing Zhao Zedong act so shamelessly, Lily simply sneered. He wanted to play tricks, but unfortunately she wasn’t going to give him that chance.

In the end, it seemed the court ruled that Zhao Zedong had to repay Lily thousands of yuan, along with her losses. If he didn’t repay, he would face imprisonment.

Because Zhao Zedong and Lily were not legally married, he managed to avoid jail time.

If they had been legally bound, Zhou Qiaoyu likely wouldn’t have escaped either.

After all this, although Zhou Qiaoyu gained some benefits, her reputation was completely ruined.

Families with money would never allow their sons to marry a woman like Zhou Qiaoyu who had seduced another’s man.

After all, if it happened once, it could happen again. No one could be sure that Zhou Qiaoyu had changed after this incident. With Zhou Qiaoyu doing such shameless thing, her reputation was utterly destroyed.

Basically, she was at a point where everyone scorned her. Even Old Mrs. Lu, upon seeing Zhou Qiaoyu, ordered her son to drive her away, not wanting her around.

Sheng Fei felt that evil would eventually meet its own kind. Zhou Qiaoyu’s current predicament was due to her own actions and there was nothing to feel sorry about.

So Sheng Fei went about her business without paying Zhou Qiaoyu any mind.

While running errands in the county, Sheng Fei happened to see Lu Ting. It turned out Lu Ting was there with his business partners to buy some items. Upon seeing Sheng Fei, he invited her to have lunch with them.

After having lunch, they saw that what had started as clear weather suddenly turned gloomy, and the sky darkened.

The weather was indeed turning bad, and Sheng Fei thought it was best to hurry home.

Today, she hadn’t brought Lu Xiaowu along. Instead, she had sent him to Aunt Li’s house next door. Since the other children were at school, she didn’t feel comfortable leaving Lu Xiaowu alone at home, especially with such heavy rain approaching.

Lu Ting finished his business and quickly returned indoors with Sheng Fei.

After picking up Lu Xiaowu, it wasn’t long before Sheng Fei grabbed some umbrellas, plastic sheets, and raincoats, rushing into the downpour and saying that she was going to fetch the other children home.

Lu Ting naturally joined Sheng Fei, and together they braved the heavy rain to bring the children home.

By the time Sheng Fei got home, she was completely soaked.

The children were also drenched, but the worst off was Lu Ting. He had to shield the younger ones, while Lu Da and Lu Er were the least wet.

Sheng Fei gathered everyone together, saying they needed to dry off. With the cold weather, getting wet without changing clothes or taking a bath would surely lead to catching a cold. So Sheng Fei boiled water and helped the children bathe.

Once the children were done, she used large towels to dry them off.

Previously, Sheng Fei had used all the money she earned to buy daily necessities for the children. Each child received a large towel. When it was Lu Ting’s turn to bathe, he only had a small towel, which he roughly used to dry himself off after washing.

Meanwhile, Sheng Fei jumped into a wooden tub for a comfortable hot bath.

Recently, the rains had been heavy, but thankfully their area was elevated, so the rainwater didn’t seep in.

Moreover, there was a river nearby that had been dried up, but after this rain, it was filled to the brim, with water rushing through.
