Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At that moment, Chen Liners cheeks were already streaked with tears.
Qin Zhenzhen retrieved a handkerchief and delicately wiped away her tears. Weve decided to overturn your case and release you without any charges. You wont be sent to the military camp.
Chen Liners intense reaction to the mention of being a military prost.i.tute suddenly made sense. It appeared she had a haunting experience with it.
She had endured the most agonizing parting in the world, and it happened not once, but twice
The pain was overwhelming.
No wonder she had contemplated ending her life.
Yet, she clearly departed with unresolved grievances.
Thank you, Mrs. Sul Chen Liner accepted Qin Zhenzhens handkerchief, feeling the warmth it held. She shook her head, saying, You cant confront them!
Qin Zhenzhen wiped her own tears. Ive never attempted it before. How can I be certain it wont work?
Despite Qin Zhenzhens insistence, Chen Liner held fast to her perspective.
Its not worth sacrificing lives for.
Qin Zhenzhen imparted, Were not alone. There are others. Unity is strength. No matter how towering a tree is, it will eventually fall.
A spark of hope ignited in Chen Liners eyes. Yes, with Governor Su supported by the General Manor and the Third Prince, overthrowing the Public House wasnt an impossible feat.
Curious, Qin Zhenzhen inquired, Is w.a.n.g Nians confession still hidden?
Chen Liner affirmed, Yes, Ive already buried it in the corner behind the house. Theres a loose stone there with a small hole inside. You can send someone to retrieve it.
Then, did you approach my husbands cousin, w.a.n.g San? He expressed a desire to seek justice for us and even attempted to raise awareness about the injustice, but he was forcibly driven away a few times.
If you seek him out, hell surely agree. Hes a pitiable soul, the lone survivor in the family, bravely beating the drum to highlight the injustice
Qin Zhenzhen a.s.sured, Alright, await our good news.
As she was about to depart, Chen Liner unexpectedly inquired, If I make it through, could you teach me how to cook these dishes?
Qin Zhenzhen countered, You want to learn?
Chen Liner nodded resolutely. I do.
If Governor Su successfully resolves my case, I may escape death, but I understand I cant avoid consequences. I dont want to burden you further. I just hope that, after learning to cook, I can a.s.sist in the kitchen when sent to the barracks. I dont want to become a military prost.i.tute.
Qin Zhenzhen was touched by her compa.s.sion. Despite enduring immense suffering, Chen Linter remained thoughtful of others.
I vow that youll never be sent to the military camp. If it comes to settling the case, Ill ensure your discreet release!
Chen Liner cried and smiled. Thank you, Mrs. Su!
Qin Zhenzhen spent almost two hours in the cell.
Su Bin grew anxious.
Why were they conversing for so long?
His concern for his pregnant wife intensified.
Qin Zhenzhen scoffed at his worry. Why are you so on edge? Im simply listening to her story. It wont tire me out.
Her life is truly difficult, Su Bin sighed.
Qin Zhenzhen proceeded to recount everything that had transpired with Chen Liner.
When it came to the revelation that the bandits in the mountains were being manipulated by the Public House, Su Bin remained unsurprised.
The Dragon Phoenix Hall just received intel confirming that the Public House has extended its influence to the bandits hideout.
Their intention is to transform the bandits lair into a covert training ground.
It appears the Public House is no longer content with the status quo.
They are vying for that position of power.
Something significant might unfold in the capital soon.
Leaving the capital when we did was a prudent decision.
However, the path ahead for the Third Prince is even more challenging..
