From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

”Jiaojiao, shouldn’t we start thinking about where we should arrange for our son?” Mu Dade suddenly became eager.

Even the smile on his face was a bit more intense than usual.

Ruan Xiao Jiao didn’t notice, she still looked at Mu Dade with gentle eyes.

”Isn’t it already decided? For the next three years, you will study hard, and in three years, when you pass the exams and go to the Capital, our son and I will go with you!” Ruan Xiao Jiao said.

”But it’s already been three years? I’m now the registrar of the county, and you are the County Magistrate’s concubine. The County Magistrate will not tolerate you having someone else’s child and actually giving birth to it!”

”If the County Magistrate finds out about us, not only will we not survive, but the child won’t survive either!”

Mu Dade tried to explain to Ruan Xiao Jiao.

Ruan Xiao Jiao’s expression changed on the spot.

”Yes, the County Magistrate seems easygoing, but he’s ruthless when he needs to be!

Back then, when I was bullied by ruffians, the County Magistrate saved me and flogged those thugs!”

”That’s why we must try to get through these three years well, and once I’ve arranged everything for the future, we can then come clean to the County Magistrate!” Mu Dade said.

”Then... what should we do?” Ruan Xiao Jiao placed all her hopes on Mu Dade at this point.

Hoping that Mu Dade could solve this problem well.

Mu Dade pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Ruan Xiao Jiao with deep affection.

”Jiaojiao, do you... do you want to keep my son? Do you want him to live a life without worries?” Mu Dade asked.

Ruan Xiao Jiao naturally nodded, ”I do. I want our son to have a good life, and I want you to have a future without worry. I want our family of three to be together and live well!”

”Then you should consummate the marriage with the County Magistrate, as the baby isn’t far along yet. In a couple of months, we can bribe a doctor to say you’re pregnant.

Afterward, you just need to stay in the Magistrate’s residence and take good care of your pregnancy. During this time, we shouldn’t meet to avoid arousing suspicion!”

Mu Dade’s words shocked Ruan Xiao Jiao immensely.

”Dade, you... you want me to say our child is the County Magistrate’s and let the child call him father for three years?” Ruan Xiao Jiao asked.

Mu Dade nodded!

”This is the only way to ensure our family of three survives. Jiaojiao, our situation is one that no one will forgive! No matter who finds out, they’ll want us dead!” Mu Dade said.

”But I just can’t do it. Before I met you, I muddled through life, but now that I’ve met you again and have your child, I can’t have anything to do with the County Magistrate!”

Ruan Xiao Jiao insisted.

Having made that mistake once, she wouldn’t make it again!

”Then what about our son? What about me? What about you? Are we all going to die together?” Mu Dade’s words unintentionally became more stern.

”No... I’ll appeal to the County Magistrate, not mentioning you, just saying I was harmed by someone and accidentally got pregnant, I want to keep it.

The County Magistrate will pity me and let me go, and I will wait for you in a small village for three years...”

From the moment she knew she was pregnant, Ruan Xiao Jiao had already decided her path.

No matter what, she wouldn’t let anything happen to the child or to Dade!

”Jiaojiao, you are really too naive. Do you think the County Magistrate will believe you if you say that? Even if he does, don’t you think he’ll investigate?

If he finds anything, you and I won’t have a good ending! What about our son then? Can you bear to see him not even have the chance to be born?”

”But...” Ruan Xiao Jiao was still hesitant.

After all, this matter was really hard for her to accept!

”Wait a moment, I’m going to write something!” Mu Dade stood up.

He went into his study, and when he came out, he was holding a letter.

He handed the letter to Ruan Xiao Jiao.

”Take a look at this!”

Ruan Xiao Jiao took the letter and saw the words ”Divorce Letter” written on it.

When she read the content, her eyes filled with excitement.

This was a divorce letter from Mu Dade, divorcing Mrs. Jin!

”Dade, are you really willing to divorce that woman?” Ruan Xiao Jiao asked.

”Yes! I’m willing, but on the condition that you protect our child. I can’t bear to see him suffer!”

Mu Dade spoke with such conviction.

Ruan Xiao Jiao touched her belly, finally agreeing!

”Alright, since you are willing to write the divorce letter, I’ll make arrangements when I return, just like you said, we won’t see each other during this time!”

The child’s affairs are what matter most!

Ruan Xiao Jiao had also thought it through!

”Yes! By the way, Jiaojiao, I’ve been thinking that you should take some fetus-preserving medicine. Let me get some for you!” Mu Dade said.

Ruan Xiao Jiao never doubted Mu Dade, naturally trusting his words completely!

...

Mu Shuangshuang returned to the inn, and Fu Xiaonan had already woken up.

She hadn’t had breakfast yet, so Mu Shuangshuang took her to eat.

She asked Fu Xiaonan if she wanted to return or spend another day here.

Mu Shuangshuang had told her family she would be away for at least two days.

As for Fu Xiaonan, she had told her father she would be with her.

Being a young girl, Fu Xiaonan naturally wanted to roam around more and see more.

Besides, yesterday was really just a brief tour, and many places were still unexplored.

After touring all morning, near noon, Mu Shuangshuang passed by the medical clinic she had visited in the morning.

Unable to resist, she went in again.

This time, she bought some more blood-boosting herbs. The little medicine boy, having spoken with Mu Shuangshuang earlier, remembered her a bit.

He greeted Mu Shuangshuang warmly: ”Little girl, you’re here again? And buying more blood herbs? Weren’t those you bought enough?”

Mu Shuangshuang nodded, ”There are many sisters at home, so we need a lot of these herbs! Also, you mentioned that person this morning, does he often come here to buy medicine?”

”Well...” The little medicine boy felt a bit awkward, as the question bordered on inappropriate curiosity.

Mu Shuangshuang glanced around, noticing that the hall was empty except for the little medicine boy.

She took a silver coin from her pocket and handed it to him.

”I’m not a bad person and won’t do anything harmful, I’m just curious, so could you be so kind?”

The medicine boy thought for a moment and accepted the silver from Mu Shuangshuang.

Then he whispered, ”Ours is the only clinic nearby, so he probably lives nearby! And he was here again just now, this time, he picked up some abortion prevention medicine, without the red flower!”

Listening to the little medicine boy, Mu Shuangshuang’s lips curled into a smile.

”Thank you!” Mu Shuangshuang said.

Unexpectedly, as she finished speaking, the little medicine boy blushed.

He watched Mu Shuangshuang leave, then looked at the extra silver coin in his hand, feeling utterly confused!
