She refused to marry.

"What evidence do you have?" General Shen asked the woman on the ground, looking down at her.

As long as there is no evidence, everything can be done slowly.

"Under the osmanthus tree in Shen Linfeng's courtyard lies my sister's body. Lord Zuo, you may send someone to dig it up."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Zongzheng looked at General Shen.

General Shen stood up, his expression changed, and he slapped Shen Linfeng across the face.

"You unfilial son!!!"

After saying that, he kicked her again.

"Father!" Shen Linfeng, kicked to the ground, covered his face and pleaded, "Father, I didn't mean to, Father..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he received another slap.

General Shen dragged Shen Linfeng aside and began punching and kicking him.

Zuo Zongzheng ordered his men to surround the Shen family's residence. He then led the coroner to dig in the backyard for a while and indeed found a female corpse.

Su Hongxuan fainted on the spot. After waking up, he locked himself in his study.

When Su's mother heard the news, she cried her heart out.

The Imperial Clan Court immediately opened a case.

Shen Linfeng knelt in the Imperial Clan Court, his hands bound, but his previous fearful demeanor vanished, replaced by a threatening tone, "So what if they arrested me?"

Su Wanwan was so angry that she threw a punch.

My hands were burning with pain, but that didn't extinguish the anger in my heart.

A few drops of blood trickled from the corner of Shen Linfeng's mouth, his expression mocking. "Your Su family was already without heirs. The death of that slut doesn't change the fact that the Su family line still ends."

Su Wanwan pulled out her hairpin, wanting to kill this disgusting person on the spot to vent her anger.

But her wrist was grabbed by the yamen runner next to her. "Miss Su, let's hand her over to the Imperial Clan Court."

"Hahahaha..." Shen Linfeng laughed out loud.

Su Wanwan released her grip and kicked Shen Linfeng in the face.

Shen Linfeng fell to the ground. "So what if you kill that bitch? Your Shen family is nothing but a dog. You'll be cooked sooner or later."

"You beast, I will personally come to see you hanged!" Su Wanwan stepped forward.

"Hanging? How could I, the son of the Left Vice Minister, be hanged? You're dreaming!" Shen Linfeng said in a voice only she could hear.

"The Imperial Clan Court has already opened a case, and the evidence is conclusive. Do you still think you can turn things around?" Su Wanwan gritted her teeth.

"Heh... With the capabilities of my Shen family, turning the tables is a piece of cake!" Shen Linfeng pressed his tongue against the gap between his knocked-out teeth.

"The Imperial Clan Court is not the Ministry of Justice. Unless you escape from the Imperial Clan Court, the crime is doubled." Su Wanwan sneered, "Escape is a more serious crime."

"Bah! Do I need to escape from prison?" Shen Linfeng sneered. "Was it that bitch Shen Yan who betrayed the Shen family?"

Su Wanwan didn't say anything.

"I'm just unlucky to have fallen into your hands today. But soon, your Su family will also taste the bitterness of prison."

"Take him away," the prefectural magistrate said to the bailiff beside him as he entered from outside.

Su Wanwan didn't sleep a wink that night.

She took this step too hastily.

Recalling Shen Linfeng's words, she felt uneasy. At the beginning of the morning, she waited for her father to come out of the study and go to court.

She set fire to the study, burning it completely.

Seeing this, Wang was confused and, coupled with her previous sorrow, felt even worse, so she let her act recklessly.

At Chenshi (7-9 AM), a group of soldiers surrounded the Su residence.

Su Wanwan knew the Shen family would take action, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

The head of the court officials headed straight for the study, intending to take away all the documents from the Su residence.

The result was a scene of utter chaos.

And the study that had been burned to ashes.

The court official, cursing and swearing, searched through the ruins to see what he could bring back to report.

After searching around and finding nothing worth reporting, he vented his anger on the servants and women in his household.

"Search everything! Leave no valuables untouched! Take all suspicious individuals away!"

Instantly.

The Su family's terrified cries for help echoed throughout every corner.

"Second sister, save me!" Su Yaoyue was restrained and brought out.

"Mother, Second Sister, save me..."

Su Zhiyin's childish voice came through, followed by sobs.

Su Wanwan pushed aside the soldiers behind Su Zhiyin, "She's still a child!"

"Insolence!" The soldier drew his sword and held it to her neck.

"According to the laws of Chen Kingdom, any soldier who wantonly slaughters civilians shall be executed on the spot!" Su Wanwan glared angrily.

The soldier was taken aback and looked at the Minister of Justice.

The court official spat and shouted, "Put it down!"

The soldier then put away his sword.

"You and she are both being taken away!" The Imperial Censor pointed at the Zhiyin in her hand.

"According to the laws of Chen Kingdom, children under the age of ten are not required to be imprisoned, interrogated, or tortured, regardless of what the head of the family has done." Su Wanwan's gaze was firm as she protected Zhiyin behind her.

The court official gritted his teeth, glared at her, and ordered the soldiers behind him, "Search them thoroughly!"

Upon hearing this, the soldier rudely ransacked the house, taking out everything and throwing it all out in the yard.

All the servants in the house huddled together in fear, terrified of being killed.

After the soldiers had finished searching, the Minister of Justice led a group of people out of the Su residence, ready to depart.

Su Wanwan walked last, holding Zhiyin's hand, unsure of what to do next.

Standing at the gate of the mansion, I suddenly saw Feng Chenjun's carriage passing by in the distance.

Su Wanwan was overjoyed and squatted down to whisper a few words in Su Zhiyin's ear.

Su Zhiyin wiped away her tears, "Okay, Second Sister, you must come back soon!"

"Go quickly, I'll watch you go." Su Wanwan followed Su Zhiyin for a few steps, but was stopped by a soldier beside her.

We had no choice but to stop.

He watched as his fourth sister walked to Feng Chenjun's carriage and said a few words.

The carriage remained completely still.

She was getting anxious.

After a long while, the carriage curtain finally moved.

The guards in front of the carriage got off and placed Su Zhiyin on the carriage shaft. Only then did Su Wanwan feel at ease and follow her mother.

When the Su family's residence was raided, people gathered on Zhuque Street to watch and point and whisper among themselves.

Su Wanwan spotted someone in the crowd, who was extremely aloof.

As the person drew closer, Su Wanwan spoke, "Miss Shen, are you here to see me off?"

"Miss Su." Shen Yan bowed.

"There's a mother-of-pearl inlaid lacquer box in the northeast corner of the Shen family matriarch's room. You can go take a look. All the truths you're looking for are there," Su Wanwan pondered.

"Thank you for keeping your promise, Miss Su. I have something else to say." Shen Yan hesitated before speaking.

"Did you also attend the last prayer ceremony at Fragrant Hills, Miss Su?"

"Is it because of the drowning incident, Miss Shen?" Su Wanwan asked, puzzled.

"Not Miss Su?" Shen Yan lowered her eyes. She clearly heard the Crown Prince's men say that she was the second young lady of the Su family while she was in bed.

"It was the matriarch of the Shen family who did it. I wanted to save you, but the Crown Prince beat me to it and rescued you..."

Oh, by the way, be careful of Shen Linfeng. Although he's your brother, he's not a good person.

"Stop babbling! Let's go!" The soldiers behind pushed and shoved.

The Minister of Justice escorted the Su family for about an hour before a carriage finally arrived.

Looking at the remaining bloodstains on it.

Su Wanwan felt a chill run down her spine.

This is a horse-drawn carriage used to transport condemned prisoners.
