Chapter 398: She Was Worried About Chu Yihan

Liang Jin took a deep breath. “But what if I insist on bringing her back to the Capital Prefecture?”

Su Yingxue shrugged helplessly. “Then we can only…”

“Lord Liang, according to the law, I have the right to withdraw my complaint! Besides, the Eldest Young Miss agrees, so 1 can retract it! 1 don’t need to go to the Capital Prefecture prison!”

Liu Shulan hastily crawled over, grabbing Liang Jin’s clothes, and pleading with him.

It wasn’t as if Liang Jin wasn’t frustrated. “You indeed have the right to retract the complaint. However, for toying with the Capital Prefecture, you would have to endure fifty lashes. I’ll supervise personally. Think carefully, do you want to suffer fifty lashes or follow me back to the Capital Prefecture?”

Liu Shulan collapsed on the ground, pallid. She muttered, “Fifty lashes…”

“No! Fifty lashes will kill Mother! Mother, don’t retract the complaint! Please!” Su Yurou rushed forward, embracing Liu Shulan, tearfully pleading. “Even if they sentence you to prison, I can find a way to get you out. But with fifty lashes, you’ll lose your life! I don’t want you to die!”

Her words ended with a hateful glare toward Su Yingxue.

It was all her fault! She was the one who deserved to die! Why did her mother have to face the consequences? Su Yingxue, that wretched woman!

Liu Shulan held Su Yurou, sorrow etched on her face. She sighed, shaking her head sadly. “Rou’er, Mother has no other choice.”

If she went to the Capital Prefecture, she could avoid the fifty lashes, but imprisonment was inevitable. But now that she was in jail, what awaited her children was a disaster of life and death!

Su Yingxue’s ruthlessness… how could her daughter handle it?

Gritting her teeth, Liu Shulan pleaded, “Lord Liang, I’m willing to endure the fifty lashes. I want… to retract!”

Liang Jin seethed with anger inside!

However, being an official, he couldn’t cover up the truth. He had to handle the case by the law.

He instructed someone to bring the complaint Liu Shulan had submitted earlier, then gestured, “Bring in the punishment!”

He didn’t consider the relationship between Su Yingxue and Liu Shulan. In a deep voice, he declared, “1’11 personally oversee these fifty lashes. There will be no bias! Life or death, it won’t matter after these fifty lashes!”

Liu Shulan had long collapsed to the ground, unable to resist at all.

She seemed like a soulless puppet. Even as Su Yingxue passed by and inserted a pill into her mouth, she swallowed it obliviously.

Su Yingxue returned to her room. She wasn’t in the mood to watch Liu Shulan get beaten up.

Saint Ruan leaned forward with a sullen face. “What’s wrong with you? You’ve been framed, yet you want her to stay? If it were me, I’d have poisoned her long ago!”

If he were in charge, Liu Shulan would’ve been poisoned by now.

Yet, Su Yingxue was magnanimous. Not only did she spare her, but she also slipped a Heart Protection Pill into her mouth.

She was protecting Liu Shulan!

“You don’t understand her, so don’t make baseless claims.”

Chu Yihan shot Saint Ruan a cold glance, making him cover his mouth.

Alright!

He didn’t understand Su Yingxue, so he refrained from speaking nonsense.

After all, Chu Yihan’s Qingfeng Sword only acknowledged Su Yingxue, nobody else.

His survival was crucial.

“Your Highness, if you enter the palace, the emperor…”

Liu Shulan was already being tortured, but Su Yingxue’s eyes betrayed her worry for Chu Yihan.

Lan Ling had arrived with the emperor’s decree to eliminate her.

Considering the emperor and Chu Yihan’s animosity, why would he instruct Liang Jin to persist with the investigation?

How did Chu Yihan manage it?
