"Heavens have no eyes! The honor my son earned on the battlefield with real swords and spears has been ruined by this wretched woman!"

He was upright, kind, and loyal to his country. He was also in a good relationship with the Song family girl, but she insisted on going to the border to pester my son.

He's just young and hasn't developed a discerning eye, that's why he got fooled. Now, not only has he lost his marquisate, but he's also brought back embezzled funds!

As Lin Ruolan cried out, everyone began to suspect Qin Shuangshuang.

After all, everyone knows that Lin Zhiyue has been extremely busy with the matter of money these past few days.

On the contrary, Qin Shuangshuang, she was the one who had the dream, and she was the one who made the deal with the money bank. It's likely that it really has something to do with her!

"It really was Song Ruozhen who deliberately harmed me. She deliberately appeared in my dream and arranged all of this for me. I just did what she instructed in the dream!"

Qin Shuangshuang held onto this point firmly.

Who told Song Ruozhen to have demonstrated this ability before?

Not far from Shuntian Prefecture, Song Zhiyu was furious when he saw Qin Shuangshuang framing his younger sister for all of this.

"This woman is utterly shameless. She stole the disaster relief funds herself, yet she's trying to frame you for it all?"

A hint of mockery flashed across Song Ruozhen's eyes. Qin Shuangshuang really had a knack for making connections; she found her as a scapegoat so quickly.

Unfortunately, she wasn't the original owner of this body, so she wouldn't be easily bullied, and she certainly wouldn't swallow all her bitterness.

"Your Highness, everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, arrest Song Ruozhen and interrogate her!"

She's ruthless and cunning, full of schemes. She's jealous that I stole Zhiyue from her, and she resents the Lin family for mistreating her, so she devised this insidious plan to wipe us all out!

Chu Yungui couldn't help but say, "Madam Lin, your reason is far too far-fetched."

You dug up so much silver, but you didn't explain how it came about. You just attributed everything to Miss Song based on a mere dream.

"According to you, what's the point of us investigating any details or solving any cases? Why don't we just have Miss Song appear in our dreams?"

"My lord, everything I said is true. Otherwise, how would I know these things when I was locked up in the cell for the past few days?"

"As long as we capture Song Ruozhen and interrogate her thoroughly, the truth will come out!"

Although Gu Yunwei found her daughter's words absurd, since her daughter had already spoken, she turned to look at Qin Zheng.

"Your Highness, it would be best to summon Song Ruozhen for a face-to-face confrontation, which would also allow us to clarify the matter," Qin Zheng said.

Chu Junting frowned. The Qin family actually took this absurd argument as evidence. No wonder Qin Zheng has been increasingly unsuccessful in the court over the years.

Just look at his brain... it's useless!

"No need to trouble yourself, I'm already here."

Song Ruozhen's ethereal and cool voice rang out.

Upon seeing Song Ruozhen arrive, a hint of surprise flashed in Chu Junting's eyes, followed by a frown. This matter was of great importance, and he had not intended to involve Song Ruozhen.

"Madam Lin keeps saying that I appeared to you in your dreams, but that's just nonsense."

Not to mention I don't have that ability, even if I did, would I tell someone I despise where so much silver is?

"I ask you all here, would you do that?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone shook their heads.

Even if the silver is of dubious origin, it is still genuine snowflake silver!

Even if the Song family is wealthy and powerful, they couldn't possibly ignore so much silver, let alone tell someone they dislike.

What if the other party has other means? Wouldn't that be doing them a favor?

"You clearly know where this money came from and are trying to frame us!"

Qin Shuangshuang's eyes were filled with resentment. "You've been holding a grudge all this time, so you came up with this plan. I have to say, it really got what you wanted!"

“Madam Lin, the most important thing in life is to know yourself. Everyone knows that I took the initiative to break off the engagement. If I really wanted everything in the Lin family, why would I have done this?”

As for your so-called resentment, it's nothing but your own imagination.

Song Ruozhen's delicate and bright face revealed her frankness: "There are plenty of fine young men in the entire capital, not just Lin Zhiyue."

Since I broke off the engagement, I've had no contact with you all. There's no reason for me to go to such lengths to set this up.

The woman's nonchalant demeanor suggested that she had never taken Lin Zhiyue seriously from beginning to end.

"How could you not hold a grudge? You've managed the Lin family for two whole years. If you weren't in love with my husband, why would you have done this?"

Qin Shuangshuang's words were sharp; she wanted to expose Song Ruozhen's hypocritical face!

She clearly loved it so much; how could she not care when she died so unwillingly in her past life?

"The reason I manage the Marquis's mansion is because I had already arranged a marriage with him, by the order of our parents and the words of the matchmaker."

Madam Lin is in poor health, and Lin Zhiyue asked me to take care of her. I didn't want him to be distracted on the battlefield, and besides, I never imagined he would let me down.

"According to you, do you have absolutely no feelings for my husband?"

Qin Shuangshuang found it hard to believe; this was clearly all a lie!

"No," Song Ruozhen replied.

"When I was still unmarried, I never had close contact with any other men. Even when Lin Zhiyue proposed to me, we only met a few times. There was no deep affection between us, let alone any sense that I had to marry him."

Seeing that Song Ruozhen was calm and composed, and that she spoke these words without the slightest hesitation or evasion, Chu Junting knew that she was telling the truth.

I felt a sense of relief.

"Ruozhen, how can you deny everything we've done before?"

Lin Zhiyue couldn't help but speak up, even though she had treated him extremely well these past two years.

Even though they weren't married, she took care of everything for him at home like a newlywed wife, so he didn't have to worry.

Every time he received a letter from Song Ruozhen while in the military camp, seeing what she wrote about how everything in the family was getting better and better and how his mother was gradually recovering, he felt an indescribable sense of comfort.

Not to mention the envious looks on the faces of the other soldiers in the camp when they found out, which made him feel especially happy.

Who would have thought that Song Ruozhen would dismiss it with just a phrase like "arranged marriage by parents and matchmaker"?

"If you didn't have deep feelings for me, you would never have done so much for me. Why do you deny it?"

"Lin Zhiyue, have you no shame? Who's been so devoted to you? My sister has nothing to do with you now. If you dare to spout any more nonsense, I'll beat you to death!"

Song Zhiyu was truly amazed by this shameless guy; how could he be so shameless?

Song Ruozhen looked at her third brother who was protecting her, signaling him to rest assured.

"If we truly have deep feelings for each other, you wouldn't be with Qin Shuangshuang behind my back. If I really care about you, I would swallow this insult."

There's no connection anymore, so why bring up what happened back then?

"My daughter has never been in love with you, so don't be so smug, Uncle Lin!"

Liu Ruyan suddenly appeared in front of everyone, her gentle face now filled with coldness.

“Zhen’er has always been well-behaved. I must have been blind to arrange this marriage. She was just following my teachings.”

I thought breaking off the engagement would sever all ties with you heartless people, but I never expected that the wife I married would not only be a scourge, but also try to frame my daughter. You're dreaming!
