After such an incident, although the Taoist nun was successfully captured and the Qu family behind it was exposed, Xiao Lan had to feel upset because this happened to her after all. It was already past noon and Xiao Lan had been busy for a long time, but she didn't feel hungry at all.

"Mom, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?" Although Xiao Lan was not hungry, she still wanted to ask Zhang's opinion.

Zhang shook her head. "I'm not hungry either. Don't serve me food yet. I feel like something is blocking my heart. Even if I serve you food, I won't be able to eat it... Let's wait for a while until Xiaowen and your father come back from the government office, and then we can eat together."

Qu Xiujuan wanted to marry Shen Liu. In her opinion, getting rid of Xiaolan would only make the Sheng family enemies and would have little to do with the Shen family. She felt that as long as Xiaolan was gone, the relationship between the Shen family and the Sheng family would become weak... Even if Shen Liu felt uncomfortable at first, it would not last long, because she felt that a man would not embarrass a beauty like her for the sake of a dead person.

Qu Xiujuan and Mrs. Qu thought that after the Taoist nun had accomplished the task, they would kill her without anyone knowing, and then find another opportunity to marry Qu Xiujuan to Shen Liu.

In the evening, Xiaowen and Shengxuan came back, and the family sat together to talk about the interrogation in the government office. As Xiaolan expected, the Taoist nun and the mother and daughter of the Qu family were fighting each other in the government office.

Xiaowen finally told Xiaolan, "Both sides wanted to get away with it, but ended up bringing up all the details... Now they are both in shackles and imprisoned in death row..."

Not only the Taoist nun, Qu Xiujuan, and Mrs. Qu were imprisoned in the death row, but even Lord Qu was imprisoned in the death row. After all, Mrs. Qu and Qu Xiujuan were able to mobilize so much money, and Lord Qu, as the head of the family, could not have been unaware of it... The Qu family has now been raided, and the government has also found out some of his private corruption during his tenure...

It is impossible for Shen San not to inform Shen Liu about such a big thing. Shen Liu is already on his way back to Liaodong Prefecture. Since he received Shen San's letter, he has been rushing back day and night.

It snowed heavily in the city this year. Sheng Xuan was talking to Zhang about the auspicious snow that heralds a good harvest. Xiao Lan was sitting in front of the window, wondering where Shen Liu was now. She didn't know if it was snowing there. Traveling in the severe winter was difficult. She hoped that Shen Liu would not encounter snow on the road and would have a smooth journey. She secretly calculated the time for Shen Liu to return, thinking that by the time Shen Liu came back, the snow in the city should have been cleared.

Early the next morning, Zhang woke her up early. Xiao Lan was shocked, thinking something had happened at home.

"It's nothing, don't be afraid. It's Sixth Master who's here. Hurry up and get up and put on your clothes..." Zhang said.

Xiao Lan couldn't believe her ears. She pinched herself to make sure she was not dreaming and was not awake yet. "Mom, why is Sixth Master here? He should have just arrived at the border of Liaodong Prefecture at this time... Besides, even if he came back, he should go home and rest. How could he come to our house before dawn..."
