After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 142 Things are revealed
Lan Caichen hadn't expected Jiu'er to say such a thing. He thought for a moment, then said to her, "That makes sense. That family is very poor. Didn't you see him selling calligraphy and paintings on the street and writing letters for people to earn money?"

Lan Caichen, displaying the superiority complex of a wealthy young man, relentlessly mocked Liu Zian.

After hearing this, Miss Jiu'er chuckled, "But it's fortunate that it was Young Master Lan. Your appearance that day allowed me to witness a real man. It's just that I didn't understand at the time. I apologize to you now."

"Not at all, Miss Jiu'er, what are you saying? Do we really need those things between us?"

As he spoke, he prepared to grope Jiu'er, but Jiu'er quickly stopped him.

"But thinking about this still makes me sick. Could you please check on Liu Zi'an's situation in prison again? I really don't want to let him off the hook like this. That day he said he would file a written complaint against me for having an affair with Young Master Lan. It was just ridiculous. I didn't have any money with me at the time, so I didn't give it to him."

Upon hearing this, Lan Caichen burst into laughter.

"Miss Jiu'er, don't worry. I bet that after he goes to jail this time, not only will his reputation be ruined, but no one will believe what he says in the future. Don't worry, besides, I bet he won't be out for decades."

"How can you be so sure, Young Master Lan?"

As she spoke, Jiu'er poured Lan Caichen another cup of wine. "That's because I sent him to prison. Moreover, the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review is my uncle. You can trust me about this. My uncle's word is law. Whether he is guilty or not, he can fabricate a crime out of thin air."

"so smart?"

At the opportune moment, Miss Jiu'er stepped forward and poured Lan Caichen another cup of wine, praising him.

"Of course. I had my uncle handle his imprisonment this time. It's not that difficult. Anyone who offends me, Lan Caichen, never ends up well."

"What about his plagiarism?"

"In fact, he had written that article before. I secretly copied the original text and used it in the rural exam. As a result, because I handed in my paper first in the exam room before him, while he kept dawdling and didn't hand in his paper, people misunderstood that he copied the article from my paper."

After Lan Caichen finished speaking, he burst into laughter.

When Jiu'er saw this person, she realized that he was indeed quite despicable.

Just as Lan Caichen was about to come over and do something indecent, the door to a small private room inside the VIP box was suddenly opened.

Many people came out, including the Chief Justice and Vice Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review, as well as other officials, among them Qian Musheng and Su Xiaoxiao.

It turned out that this was a pre-arranged plan to make Lan Caichen reveal the truth himself, and to resolve everything perfectly in front of all these officials.

Lan Caichen's uncle, who was also the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review, was furious. He had not only lost face in front of these other officials, but his crimes of favoritism, protecting his nephew, and framing other candidates had also been exposed.

This is no small matter. Although he is the one who has the final say here for now and is the highest-ranking official, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and others are also watching. With so many officials testifying for Liu Zi'an, how can the fact that he was wrongfully imprisoned be concealed?

Thinking of this, the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review quickly pretended to know nothing about it and sternly rebuked his nephew.

"You, Lan Caichen, you actually fooled your uncle and caused Liu Zian to be wrongfully imprisoned! You really infuriate me!" Lan Caichen thought that something good was about to happen again, but unexpectedly, a large group of people suddenly appeared in front of him from the private room, leaving him completely bewildered.

And he saw his uncle in the crowd, glaring at him angrily.

When he saw Jiu'er staring blankly at him again, he realized that he seemed to have fallen into someone's trap, and Lan Caichen suddenly came to his senses.

I was fooled!
However, it was too late to regret it now. As the saying goes, too much talk leads to mistakes. Lan Caichen was filled with remorse and even tried to explain to his uncle.

"That old hag was trying to trick me into saying those things. I didn't want to say them. It was all a trap she set."

However, in the eyes of many, such an excuse seemed a bit far-fetched.

These are all officials of the fifth rank or above from the imperial court. If they can't even tell if someone is telling the truth, how could they possibly get a position? Lan Caichen, do you think they're idiots?
"I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates." This is a true reflection of the Dali Temple Chief Minister's inner thoughts at this moment.

He wanted nothing more than to slap Lan Caichen a few times. This good-for-nothing nephew was really giving him a lot of trouble.

But it was too late to say anything. It turned out that this was Qian Musheng's plan, using a honey trap to lower Lan Caichen's guard to the minimum.

However, the key lies in whether Jiu'er can make a quick decision and figure out how to guide Lan Caichen to tell the whole truth.

The main reason was that Lan Caichen was so emboldened by lust that he lowered his guard to the lowest level and was tricked into revealing the truth.

From then on, Liu Zian's grievances were completely cleared, and he was released from the Dali Temple prison in a just manner.

Liu Zian's parents, Old Man Liu and Granny Wang, settled in a small inn in the capital. When they learned that Liu Zian had just been released from prison and his name had been cleared, they were both surprised and delighted.

No one expected that Liu Zi'an would be saved in the end because Su Xiaoxiao traveled all the way to the capital to ask for help, and finally Liu Zi'an's grievances were cleared.

Liu Zian knelt down gratefully before Su Xiaoxiao and Qian Musheng. Although he was deeply grateful for their help, he was still extremely thankful for their assistance. Otherwise, Liu Zian would have died crying out for injustice.

All his years of hard work and study had come to nothing, had it all come to naught? This was unacceptable! Liu Zian finally rallied his spirits and resolved to study hard. However, when the results were released, it turned out to be the results of the provincial examination, and Liu Zian successfully entered the top three.

Lan Caichen was imprisoned for framing Liu Zian and plagiarizing his work.

Liu Zian and his family returned to their hometown safely, but Su Xiaoxiao did not go back with them. She still wanted to do some research in the capital to see if the jam had a market.

After this incident, Granny Wang's attitude towards Su Xiaoxiao completely changed.

She felt extremely regretful and remorseful for all the wrong things she had done that she had always hoped for Su Xiaoxiao's well-being.
