Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

"My lord, there must be a mistake. My son has always been an honest and upright official. How could he possibly be corrupt and break the law?"

However, no sooner had she finished speaking than the official came running out with the silver on the table.

"My lord, I have found a chest of silver, and the markings on the bottom match those of the missing batch!"

Liang Yan took the silver, noticed the mark on the bottom, and his eyes darkened. "Take it away!"

Before Lin Ruolan could say anything more, she was seized, her hands clasped behind her back, and she cried out in pain:

"There must be some misunderstanding. My son has always been upright and would never do anything corrupt or illegal. Your Honor, you must investigate this thoroughly!"

"With such conclusive evidence, what is there to deny?"

Looking at the cunning old woman before him, Liang Yan's upright and unyielding face was filled with coldness. "Lin Zhiyue and Qin Shuangshuang have already been arrested. I advise you to confess as soon as possible to avoid suffering physical pain!"

Lin Ruolan was dumbfounded. "My son has been kidnapped? This is a huge misunderstanding!"

"Search carefully, don't overlook anything suspicious!"

Liang Yan ignored Lin Ruolan. The evidence had already been found at the Lin family's house, not to mention that the prince and the others had personally witnessed the two digging out the gold and silver last night.

Who would believe they weren't involved?

In the dungeon.

Qin Xiangheng, who always considered himself extraordinary, was now in prison, feeling extremely frustrated.

This place is far more than just dirty and chaotic.

The air was filled with a damp, rotten smell, carrying an unpleasant musty odor.

Last night, he was awakened by a squeaking sound while he was sleeping, and he found that a mouse had crawled up to him. He couldn't stand being in such a place for even a moment longer!

"What's wrong with my parents? Why haven't they rescued me yet?"

Just as Qin Xiangheng was complaining, he suddenly saw Qin Shuangshuang and Lin Zhiyue, and his face immediately lit up with surprise.

"Shuangshuang, Zhiyue, are you here to take me out of here?"

Qin Shuangshuang and Lin Zhiyue's already unpleasant expressions turned even more unpleasant after hearing Qin Xiangheng's words.

"You two can stay here!"

The jailer opened the cell door and, seeing the two men moving slowly, gave them a disdainful shove.

"They're already prisoners, do they expect us to invite them into the jail?"

Lin Zhiyue stumbled, and Qin Shuangshuang fell to the ground.

"What are you doing? The matter is not settled yet, we have been wronged!" Lin Zhiyue roared, full of resentment.

However, the jailer spat in disgust, "The Minister has already found the stolen goods, what are you still trying to argue about?"

"Now everyone in the entire capital knows you, Lord Lin, are shameless. What's so strange about you doing something like this?"

"Isn't that right? Qin Xiangheng went to jail yesterday, and you went to jail today. It's absolutely true that you're all birds of a feather, each one more shameless than the last!"

"I really don't know how they have the nerve to say that. Once this case is settled, they're definitely going to lose their official positions and titles, and I don't even know if they'll be able to keep their heads!"

The jailers left, mocking them. These two incidents, taken together, have truly made the Qin family famous this time.

"What do they mean? What do you mean by 'theft was found on your property'?"

Qin Xiangheng was completely bewildered. "I was counting on you guys to save me, how come you're all in jail too?"

However, Lin Zhiyue couldn't answer him at that moment. He anxiously grabbed Qin Shuangshuang's hand and asked:

"Shuangshuang, what exactly happened? Didn't you say this was a treasure you dreamed about, a blessing from heaven? How could it be stolen goods?"

"I-I don't know either..."

Qin Shuangshuang looked completely innocent. "Zhiyue, you have to believe me. I really dreamt about this and felt that it was an opportunity that God had given us."

I know you were driven to desperation by Song Ruozhen and needed a large sum of money to pay off your debts, which is why you did this. As for the stolen goods, I have no idea what they are.

"But this money not only failed to solve our immediate problem, it has pushed us into an even deeper abyss!"

Lin Zhiyue was furious. In just one day, he went from being overjoyed to being imprisoned.

If this matter cannot be explained clearly, then it may really be as those two jailers said, and everything will be over!

"Zhiyue, I think this matter is inextricably linked to Song Ruozhen, otherwise how could she have guessed all of this?"

Qin Shuangshuang hurriedly defended herself, "Maybe, maybe she deliberately made me have this dream in order to frame us. She's truly a vicious person!"

She couldn't explain the matter at all and could only blame it all on Song Ruozhen. Moreover, recalling what Song Ruozhen had said before, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the woman must know something!

This matter had never been discovered in her previous life; if she hadn't happened to find it, no one would have known.

That's why she chose to keep it for herself, thinking no one would find out. But they found out so quickly, there must be something wrong!

Lin Zhiyue was stunned. "How could it be her?"

"Think about it carefully. Today, she immediately asked us if the money was from a clean source, and she also said that I would go to jail today. Isn't there a problem at every turn?"

"The reason she asked that question was because she knew very well that my household did not have that much silver. As for what she said later, she must have seen Lord Zhao."

Lin Zhiyue didn't think much of it, only that it was all just a coincidence.

If Song Ruozhen really had such extraordinary abilities, would she have been able to work so hard and slack off at the Lin residence for two years?

"You're taking her side, so you don't trust me?" Qin Shuangshuang's face paled. "I'm only thinking of you!"

Qin Xiangheng, who was standing to the side, gradually understood what was going on after listening to the argument between the two, but what he learned made his heart sink instantly.

"Are you all crazy? How dare you embezzle stolen goods? Do you know that this is a matter of losing your heads!"

"No wonder you disappeared after coming up with that terrible idea yesterday, so you went to steal money? You made me get beaten half to death, and you think you can just steal money and enjoy yourself?"

Qin Xiangheng was furious. The reason he carried thorns on his back to apologize was to avoid taking the matter to the authorities.

Who would have thought that it would end up in the hands of the authorities, and he would be ridiculed for no reason, making the matter even worse. Now he is in pain all over his body!

Qin Shuangshuang had heard about Qin Xiangheng's imprisonment this morning, and seeing his miserable appearance made her feel guilty. However, hearing this accusation now, she couldn't help but feel angry:

"My suggestion was originally made with your consideration in mind. Who would have thought that the Song family would act so quickly?"

Ultimately, you caused this whole mess yourself, so how can you blame me?

"If you hadn't come up with this terrible idea, at least I wouldn't have suffered this physical pain. Now I've lost everything, I'm beaten up like this, and even the whole street of shops that my mother gave me as part of her dowry are gone. What exactly are you up to?"

The more Qin Xiangheng spoke, the angrier he became. The more pain he felt, the deeper his resentment towards Qin Shuangshuang became, a stark contrast to their close sibling relationship just two days prior.

"You seduced someone else's fiancée, and you still have the nerve to say that? Did I ask you to do this?" Qin Shuangshuang was furious.
