With the Dong family couple testifying, everyone couldn't help but marvel at Song Ruozhen's abilities.

"I had heard this rumor before, but I thought it was too strange and probably not true. I never expected to hear it from Lord Dong today."

"Fortunately, Miss Song helped young master Dong clear his name, and meeting her in a dream relieved Madam Dong's regret."

The disappearance of the young master of the Dong family caused a great stir in the capital. When it was later learned that he had been murdered by his aunt, everyone was shocked.

Xu Qingmei has always had a good reputation for kindness and gentleness, but who would have thought that she has such a vicious heart.

Without Miss Song's help, I'm afraid Young Master Dong would have died in vain, and even his eldest son would have met a tragic end sooner or later.

Chu Junting was also aware of this matter. He now believed that Song Ruozhen truly had this ability, but he never even considered the possibility that she was connected with Yuan Xingchao.

"Since Miss Song has already explained the truth, and the Dong family couple have testified, there is no need to continue questioning this matter."

Qin Shuangshuang, tell the truth!

"I really did have a dream, and I learned everything in the dream!"

"Many members of the Yuan family died this time. Perhaps their spirits were lingering near the silver and money, and Song Ruozhen saw them, then somehow managed to enter my dream!"

As Qin Shuangshuang said this, Lin Zhiyue felt a chill run down his spine. Did that mean that when they were digging for treasure yesterday, the things floating around them were all spirits?

"What evidence do you have to prove that this matter is related to my daughter? What gives you the right to slander my daughter?"

Liu Ruyan was furious. She had previously thought Qin Shuangshuang's seduction of Lin Zhiyue was shameless enough, and now that the engagement was annulled, she didn't want to have too much contact with such a woman.

Seeing her now, I feel even more ashamed. She made a mistake herself and still wanted to drag her daughter down with her!

"My patience is limited. If you still refuse to tell the truth and continue to make baseless accusations, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Chu Junting's face turned cold. "Shuntian Prefecture has hundreds of punishments; surely one of them will make you tell the truth."

Qin Shuangshuang's face turned pale. "Your Highness, everything I said is true. I did not lie to you!"

"Take him away and interrogate him until he tells the truth!"

Chu Junting raised his hand, and the officers quickly stepped forward and dragged Qin Shuangshuang away.

"My husband, save me!"

Qin Shuangshuang anxiously begged Lin Zhiyue for help. If he really tortured her, how could she endure the physical pain?

Lin Zhiyue was already in dire need of his own safety, so how could he possibly care about her?

Qin Shuangshuang's involvement means that he can't stay out of it either; it's an utter disaster for him!

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel resentful. If he had known this would happen, he would never have trusted Qin Shuangshuang, which led to this situation!

"Father, Mother, save me!"

Qin Shuangshuang looked at Qin Zheng and the other person again. Qin Zheng's heart sank. Just as he was about to speak, Chu Junting's voice rang out first.

"General Qin, since your daughter is involved, surely you couldn't have been completely unaware of it?"

"King of Chu, I truly know nothing about this matter. If you don't believe me, you can search my house; there is absolutely not a single ingot of silver belonging to the disaster relief funds!" Qin Zheng hurriedly defended himself.

However, Chu Junting said coldly, "As far as I know, Qin Shuangshuang went to General Qin's mansion last night before she went treasure hunting. I presume it was for this matter?"

"No, no," Qin Zheng denied repeatedly, "Shuangshuang came because of the trouble her brother caused..."

"General Qin, do you even believe what you're saying?" Liang Yan mocked.

Qin Zheng asked, puzzled, "Why don't you believe me?"

"If you were really worried about Qin Xiangheng, then why wasn't Qin Shuangshuang there when your family went to the Song family to apologize yesterday?"

Don't you find it strange that your daughter and son-in-law, who know about this, didn't accompany you?

"This is clearly an excuse you're making up!" Liang Yan said angrily.

"As a general, you should have saved the people from danger, but you colluded with Yuan Xingchao to line your own pockets, embezzled disaster relief funds, and caused the deaths of so many innocent people. Your crimes are absolutely unforgivable!"

Qin Zheng was so angry that his face turned ashen, feeling as if a huge black pot had been thrown at him!

"Since General Qin is unwilling to explain clearly, then take him away and explain things properly."

"Take it down!"

Chu Junting spoke in an unquestionable manner, leading the Qin family and even the Lin family members away!

Qin Xiangheng was filled with anxiety as he watched Qin Shuangshuang and Lin Zhiyue being taken away. However, he couldn't care less about what would happen to the two of them; he just wanted to know when his parents would come to rescue him.

Yesterday, my mother clearly said that she would come to rescue him today. Even if Shuntian Prefecture was unwilling to release him, then we would go and beg my grandfather.

Even though his mother hadn't been in much contact with his maternal grandparents' family in recent years, and their relationship wasn't good, he was still his grandfather's grandson, and they wouldn't just stand by and watch him miss the opportunity to take the imperial examinations without doing anything about it.

Given my status as his maternal grandfather, rescuing him should be no problem.

Just as he was waiting anxiously, he suddenly saw Qin Zheng and Gu Yunwei, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"Father, Mother, you've come!"

"Can't you take me away now? You have no idea how awful Shuangshuang and Lin Zhiyue are. They knew I was injured, yet they still teamed up to beat me up. Look what they've done to me!"

However, just as Qin Xiangheng was happily walking towards the prison cell door to leave, he saw his parents being pushed in together.

"Go in. Now your family can be reunited in prison!"

The jailer looked disgusted. Because of these few wretched guys, they almost got punished!

Qin Xiangheng was dumbfounded when he saw Qin Shuangshuang and Lin Zhiyue being brought back.

No, there's also Old Madam Lin.

Both of their families have been locked up here?

"What exactly happened? You've all been implicated by Shuangshuang?"

Qin Xiangheng's words seemed to instantly ignite the anger in everyone's hearts.

"You good-for-nothing brat! It was bad enough that you insisted on marrying Lin Zhiyue before, but now you've done something like this. Are you trying to kill all of us before you're satisfied!"

Qin Zheng rushed forward, reached over the railing, and slapped Qin Shuangshuang across the face.

"You shameful thing! You've gotten married and are now bringing shame to your family. How could I have given birth to such a thing!"

Qin Shuangshuang was already panicked, and then she was slapped, causing her to fall to the ground.

"Father, I'm telling the truth. It was Song Ruozhen who deliberately framed me!"

"How could she have such power? Even if she did, you were the one who provoked her first. If you hadn't been so restless, why would she have harmed you for no reason!"

Qin Shuangshuang was speechless, but she felt an intense hatred for Song Ruozhen.

This sum of money was clearly a good opportunity for her to show her talent, and she wouldn't have taken the risk if Song Ruozhen hadn't been pressuring her so relentlessly.

Now... this step was a huge mistake!

"Snapped!"

Madam Lin also slapped her, saying, "You little bitch, you deserve to be hit! You're determined to kill our Zhiyue. What sins have you committed to deserve this?"
