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

Chapter 397 Begging for mercy
After saying these words, Qian Musheng strode away without paying any attention to Su Xiuer.

Su Xiuer was also stunned. She didn't expect Qian Musheng to say these words to her so ruthlessly before leaving.

Su Xiuer was left standing there, stunned. At this moment, she seemed to have realized something: was her pride and willfulness, and all the things she had done before, fair to her brother and sister-in-law?
In the end, he ended up in this terrible state, truly a case of crying out to heaven and earth in vain.

She dared not say anything more and silently returned to the pile of dry straw and money she had brought with her, becoming withdrawn.

We won't go into how Su Xiuer reflected on her actions here.

After Qian Musheng came out of the prison, he spoke a few words to the prison warden, asking him to take good care of Su Xiuer.

The prison officials understood perfectly well that they were not following Qian Musheng's orders, but rather the orders of the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review, which was why they had decided to give Su Xiuer a break.

As Qian Musheng emerged from the Dali Temple prison, he looked out at the sky and thought to himself that he felt as if he had just taken a walk through the eighteenth level of hell, where it was truly suffocating.

After returning to the Qian residence, he recounted everything that had happened to Su Xiuer in prison to Su Ping'an and Su Xiaoxiao in detail, without embellishing anything, and told them all the truth.

Su Ping'an was very worried about Su Xiu'er's safety. Now he was finally sure that Su Xiu'er was safe. Moreover, the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review was a good person. He even promised that as long as they managed to rescue Su Xiu'er, he would protect her well until then and prevent her from being harmed by Prince Gong.

Upon hearing this, Su Ping'an felt even more grateful to Qian Musheng. He thought to himself that it was only because of Su Ping'an that he could speak to the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review. He wouldn't even have the qualifications to do so, let alone ask him to make an exception for Su Xiu'er.

Su Xiaoxiao expressed her gratitude to Qian Musheng, but Qian Musheng said, "I have to thank you for this. If you hadn't discovered those bandits and relayed the news to me in time, saving the life of the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review, he wouldn't have shown leniency towards Su Xiuer."

However, Qian Musheng also said that the Chief Justice of the Court of Judicial Review should tell them to go find the Tenth Prince to handle this matter as soon as possible, since the Tenth Prince is the only person who can speak to them now.

Qian Musheng went to the Tenth Prince's residence that very night. With his connections, he was able to meet the Tenth Prince quite smoothly this time.

The Tenth Prince traveled around all day with his princely title, but no matter where he went, he just didn't want to stay in the palace. Staying in the palace meant either reading or doing things he didn't want to do. He knew that he was always disliked by the old prince, who couldn't stand anything he did. The old prince once said, "Even if I were to lay an egg, I would be a hundred times better than you!"

The young prince chuckled and teased his father, saying, "Dad, aren't you insulting yourself? Saying you're a turtle who gave birth to a bastard like me?"

Enraged, the old prince flew over and threw a priceless snuff bottle at the young prince, but instead of hitting him, it crashed to the ground and shattered into pieces.

In the end, the young prince remained the same carefree and irresponsible person, an eyesore in the palace, and was eventually kicked out by the old prince.

He was rarely at home, and this time he had only been back for two days. Just as he was about to leave again, his most admired senior brother, Qian Musheng, arrived.

The Tenth Prince was playing with birds in his study when a servant came to report that Qian Musheng wanted to see him.

He quickly said, "Please come in!" The Tenth Prince straightened his clothes and walked to the door of his study to wait for Qian Musheng's arrival.

After Qian Musheng saved the Tenth Prince last time, he now greatly admires his senior brother and no longer causes any trouble.

As soon as Qian Musheng entered, he saw the Tenth Prince pretending to hold a book, but actually holding it upside down. He stood at the doorway in a pretentious manner, then retreated to sit at the front of the desk in the study.

In the past few days, the Tenth Prince seemed to be much stronger and taller than before.

That makes sense, though. The Tenth Prince will only be nineteen this year after his birthday, six years younger than Qian Musheng. It's only natural that he can continue to grow.

"Alright, stop pretending to study hard!" Qian Musheng saw through the young prince's act as soon as she entered. Normally, she had never seen the young prince take out his books. It was practically a joke. This made the young prince very embarrassed.

He immediately put down his book and quickly walked to Qian Musheng's side.

Her eyes were almost squinting into slits, and she looked as docile as an adorable puppy. "Senior brother, when did you come to the capital? Did you come to visit me this time?"

Qian Musheng, being the senior disciple, couldn't be as unprofessional as him. With some servants around, he came over and bowed deeply to the young prince, saying, "Young prince, I've come here this time to ask for your help with something!"

"Oh? Tell me quickly, who did you offend? Anyway, as long as you don't offend the Emperor, I can take care of everyone else in the court!"

Qian Musheng gestured, indicating that everyone else should leave, as he wanted to speak to the young prince alone.

The young prince gave a signal, and then all the other servants hurriedly left and did not come back in.

"Tell me! It's quite mysterious!"

Qian Musheng then recounted the whole story of how Su Xiaoxiao had entrusted him to rescue Su Xiuer. When the Tenth Prince heard that it was about Su Xiaoxiao, he naturally couldn't ignore it. He sat up straight and listened very seriously. When he heard that it was related to that disreputable Prince Gong, the Tenth Prince was actually quite angry.

"You're saying this Su Xiuer is Su Xiaoxiao's sister-in-law, is that the relationship?"

Qian Musheng nodded, "How could my sister-in-law do such a thing? She has no sense of propriety at all. Knowing that Prince Gong is a scoundrel, she still insists on throwing herself at him. If you ask me, she deserves it!"

In fact, Qian Musheng thought the same thing, but he couldn't say it out loud. He was still hoping that the Tenth Prince would come to help Su Xiuer, and he couldn't portray Su Xiuer's image as too hateful and disgusting. So he could only try his best to smooth things over.

"In response to Your Highness, Su Xiuer was probably deceived by Prince Gong because of her young age and lack of understanding. However, she has already suffered a lot in prison and should be able to understand everything by now. Please, Your Highness, take pity on her and help her!"
