Chapter 396: Su Dingheng Was Separated From Her

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Liang Jin’s face was stern as he looked down at her. “Lady Liu, do you have anything else to say? All of this was your doing!”

Liu Shulan didn’t even struggle. She bit her lip. “I won’t confess!”

As long as she didn’t admit guilt, Liang Jin wouldn’t give her a severe sentence even if he sentenced her!

“It seems Aunt was familiar with the law before going to the Capital Prefecture. As long as you don’t confess, Lord Liang really can’t sentence you severely, even with witnesses and evidence.”

Su Yingxue’s sharp gaze focused on Liu Shulan.

Liu Shulan gritted her teeth defiantly. “So what! I’m an official’s wife. 1 won’t confess! The Capital Prefecture can’t use torture or force me to confess!”

Even if Liang Jin sentenced her, he couldn’t give her a harsh punishment!

As long as she lived, she would have another chance to confront Su Yingxue!

Su Yingxue looked at her disdainfully, a sharp smile playing on her lips. “You won’t get that chance.”

She turned, going back to Su Dingheng’s bedside, waking him from his daze.

Liu Shulan couldn’t hear their conversation, but she caught Su Dingheng’s weak voice. “Shuli won’t harm me, she… Our daughter wouldn’t, wouldn’t! Cough, cough, cough!”

His effort to prove Su Yingxue’s innocence was like a poisoned dagger, cutting deep into Liu Shulan’s heart, letting the venom seep in.

Her whole body felt like it crumbled. She collapsed, powerless, “Marquis…”

She had followed him for years without recognition!

She had harbored hatred for Long Shuli and her daughter, and loved him for so long!

But he believed Shuli wouldn’t harm him, their daughter wouldn’t.

He trusted Su Yingxue, abandoning her?

Liu Shulan smiled, tears streaming down. How could this be?

How could this be?

“Lady Liu, do you confess?”

Liang Jin’s expression was solemn.

How could Liu Shulan not confess?

Su Yingxue had revealed the truth, and Su Dingheng couldn’t bear to look at her.

He knew she had poisoned him. He believed Su Yingxue, abandoning her in his heart…

Liu Shulan closed her eyes, choking on her words, “I confess… It was all my doing! 1 poisoned the Marquis, framed the Eldest Young Miss, all of it was me!”

“Tsk, tsk, so cruel!”

“Why did Aunt do this? The Marquis adored her so much!”

“Such a venomous presence in the manor!”

Servants whispered among themselves.

Su Dingheng was awake but couldn’t feign ignorance. He buried himself in the blanket, unwilling to listen or face it.

“Since you confess, 1 declare Su Yingxue innocent. As a criminal, 1’11 take you back to the Capital Prefecture for sentencing!”

After Liang Jin’s verdict, he gestured for shackles to be brought for Liu Shulan.

“Wait!” Su Yingxue’s voice cut through.

Liang Jin frowned. She approached Liu Shulan and bent down.

In a voice only they heard, Su Yingxue said, “Liu Shulan, do you want to go to the Capital Prefecture’s prison or stay here in the Marquis Manor?”

Liu Shulan’s unfocused gaze sharpened with confusion. “Su Yingxue, what do you mean?”

“You’ve studied the laws of the Capital Prefecture.. Don’t you know one allows you to withdraw the complaint?”
