In a short period of time, the Jiang family, which was supposed to be a prominent family, saw its status plummet because of Jiang Qin.

In response to this, Su Zhizhi went to the prison to visit Jiang Qin. In fact, when she heard the result of this matter, Su Zhizhi frowned tightly, "Lord Xiao actually pushed Jiang Qin out?"

"That's right. I never thought that Lord Xiao would treat his first wife like this. He is worse than a beast." Hongxiu was also full of indignation and incomprehension.

Su Zhizhi was silent. She had not expected that Jiang Qin would obey Marquis Xiao's arrangements so well, doing whatever he was told to do, even taking the blame and going to jail. Even if she was sentenced to death, she would still protect Marquis Xiao.

After much thought, Su Zhizhi still wanted to meet Jiang Qin. After arranging everything, Su Zhizhi successfully arrived outside Jiang Qin's cell.

Looking at Jiang Qin, who looked much more haggard in the cell, Su Zhizhi was puzzled.

Hearing the voice, Jiang Qin thought it was Lord Xiao coming. She raised her head with hope, but saw Su Zhizhi. Jiang Qin rolled her eyes and looked at Su Zhizhi unhappily, "What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?"

Su Zhizhi smiled and shook her head. "Don't worry, I'm not that bored. I'm just a little confused. You clearly weren't the one who assassinated me, so why did you take the blame for Marquis Xiao? Did you know that he was the one who betrayed you first?"

Jiang Qin looked at Su Zhizhi with disdain. "Don't even think about trying to sow discord between us. I've wanted to kill you for a long time. What I regret most now is why I didn't kill you earlier instead of letting you stand here and humiliate me!"

Jiang Qin looked at Su Zhizhi with eyes filled with hatred. "I am the one who wants you dead. It has nothing to do with the Marquis. Don't even think about dragging the Marquis down with you."

Su Zhizhi hadn't expected Jiang Qin to think this way, and was speechless for a moment, but she continued, "Do you know how difficult life has been for the Jiang family since you were sentenced to death? Because of Marquis Xiao, because of you, the entire Jiang family has suffered. Even so, don't you regret taking the blame for Marquis Xiao? It's clear that if you had told the truth, you and the entire Jiang family would have been fine."

"Regret? Haha...hahaha...why should I regret? What should I regret? What I regret most is letting you live until now!" Jiang Qin rushed over suddenly, but because of the fence blocking the way, Jiang Qin could not get close to Su Zhizhi at all.

"Even if it means destroying the entire Jiang family?" Su Zhizhi asked harshly. She was trying to trick Jiang Qin into handing over Marquis Xiao.

But no matter what Su Zhizhi said, Jiang Qin insisted that it was her fault and had nothing to do with Marquis Xiao.

When Su Zhizhi realized that she couldn't get anything out of Jiang Qin, she stopped talking and turned to leave the prison. However, on the way back to Xie Mansion, Su Zhizhi was filled with regret. In fact, for Jiang Qin's current state, Su Zhizhi would rather call her a love-brained person who would do anything for Marquis Xiao. Both she and the family behind her could become victims of their previous love.

But being in love will not end well, and Jiang Qin is a living example of this.

It's just that Su Zhizhi originally wanted to overthrow Lord Xiao, but now she has backfired and ruined the Jiang family. Even though things have deviated from Su Zhizhi's expectations, Lord Xiao was seriously injured after this incident and dared not attack Su Zhizhi easily again.

The day of Jiang Qin's execution soon arrived. Su Zhizhi arrived at the execution ground early. She wanted to see whether Jiang Qin would really regret it.

On the execution ground, Jiang Qin was slowly brought up, but when Jiang Qin was about to be pressed on the guillotine, the entire execution ground was quickly filled with thick smoke. For a moment, the surrounding spectators fled in panic. Su Zhizhi was unable to dodge and was pushed to the ground by the people around her. Many people stumbled over Su Zhizhi's body and ran away. Su Zhizhi couldn't even get up from the ground because of this. She suffered serious injuries. Her body was covered with bruises and purple marks, and even her face was covered with small cuts. By the time Su Zhizhi got up, the entire execution ground was a mess.

Recalling what had just happened, Su Zhizhi's face turned black. At the moment when the smoke dispersed, Su Zhizhi noticed that a group of men in black jumped onto the execution ground and rushed directly towards Jiang Qin.

Su Zhizhi searched everywhere for Jiang Qin, but found nothing. Someone had robbed the execution ground and Jiang Qin had disappeared.

This matter soon reached the Crown Prince's ears. Upon hearing this, he flew into a rage, "How outrageous! How dare someone do such a thing in broad daylight?! Someone, seal off the entire capital and dig Jiang Qin out for me!"

As soon as this order was issued, the capital was quickly blocked off, and the imperial guards were dispatched to search every house in the capital, especially the marquis' mansion, which was searched over and over again.

Lord Xiao seemed completely unaware of the situation. He looked at the Imperial Guards who kept coming to his house with confusion and asked angrily, "What do you mean? Jiang Qin was kidnapped, and you still suspect me? I haven't even left the house these past few days!"

The leader said in a businesslike manner, "My Lord, we are just following orders. I hope you won't make things difficult for us. Or is it that you are so angry that..."

Lord Xiao sneered, "Go ahead and search. I'm a man of integrity and I'm not afraid of your investigation. It's best if you search more thoroughly to avoid having to come here again and again to spare me."

Lord Xiao was under investigation, while Su Zhizhi was quietly recuperating in the mansion. On that day at the execution ground, countless people stepped on Su Zhizhi. Even though Su Zhizhi consciously avoided her vital parts, she still suffered serious injuries. Su Zhizhi took this opportunity to recuperate at home.

However, despite a very thorough investigation, no problems were found on Marquis Xiao's side. Even Marquis Xiao himself, as he said, stayed in the mansion and seemed to be heartbroken.

Judging from the existing evidence, Lord Xiao had nothing to do with Jiang Qin's kidnapping. Although he was unwilling to accept it, Lord Xiao was still acquitted, while Jiang Qin's whereabouts are still unknown.

The entire capital city had been searched twice, but not even the shadow of Jiang Qin was seen. Seeing that the capital city could no longer be closed, even if the prince wanted to continue the search, he had to open the city gates first.
