After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

At that time, she was being abused by Wu Wenyuan when Zeng Lang suddenly appeared and lured him away. From then on, she developed feelings for Zeng Jitian.

"On the tenth day of the seventh month, I had long harbored resentment towards Wu Wenyuan. Knowing that he would definitely charter a boat, I lured him to a secluded place and pushed him into the lake," Hanxiang said bitterly. "It was all his own fault!"

The scene fell into complete silence, including those serious criminals who were executed at the same time as Zeng Jitian.

At first, they were gloating, but when the famous courtesan Hanxiang took all the blame for Zeng Jitian, they began to feel jealous.

This was a life-or-death situation. Even Hanxiang was willing to trade her life for theirs, but what about them...? Looking at their bound hands and feet, they felt utterly desolate.

"Is this all just your word? Are there any other witnesses to corroborate your claims?" Pei Yun slammed his hand on the table and asked.

"Your Excellency, there are witnesses." Hanxiang waved to the audience.

A woman stepped out from the crowd, and Zeng Jitian's gaze froze when he saw her.

This is the person who stood on the stage in place of Hanxiang on the cruise ship that day.

"Your Excellency, what Sister Hanxiang said is true, because I was also abused by Wu Wenyuan." The woman took off the clothes on her shoulders, revealing her undergarments.

Parents with children who were there to join the fun immediately covered their eyes and then cast reproachful glances at the woman, fearing that this prostitute would corrupt their children.

Pei Yun merely narrowed his eyes, noticing the woman's shoulders covered in red whip marks, and waved for her to put her clothes back on.

"Here are also the jewelry that Wu Wenyuan gave to us sisters. If you examine it carefully, you will know that it came from the Minister's residence."

Pei Yun nodded, signaling the guards beside him to investigate.

Not long after, the guards arrived and whispered something to Pei Yun.

Finally, Pei Yun coughed lightly and said solemnly, "Wu Wenyuan's molestation of women is indeed a fact, but he is now dead, and there is no way to investigate his other crimes. As for Hanxiang, although she is the victim, she caused Wu Wenyuan's death, and according to the law, she cannot be completely exempted from responsibility. Therefore, Hanxiang will be taken to prison for further investigation."

……

In prison.

Xiao Ran looked at Han Xiang through the prison cell.

Hanxiang was still wearing that white robe, but now the robe was covered in dust, making her look somewhat disheveled.

The specks of dust seemed out of place with the quietly standing Hanxiang; it was as if this prison was only a temporary refuge for her.

But I don't know if this is a place to live or a place to survive.

“Miss Xiao, this is my own choice. You don’t need to try to persuade me anymore.”

Xiao Ran remained silent.

In fact, what she initially discussed with Hanxiang was a delaying tactic. They only needed to disrupt Zeng Jitian's case and have the Dali Temple re-examine it, which would give them enough time to arrange a plan for Zeng Jitian's release from prison.

Furthermore, she wanted to see how Zeng Jitian got out of prison in her previous life.

Unexpectedly, this foolish Hanxiang took all the blame, which resulted in Zeng Jitian being released from prison without charge.

The thought of Hanxiang appearing so dashingly on the execution platform sent a shiver down her spine.

"Hanxiang, you know martial arts?"

Hanxiang thought Xiao Ran would try to persuade her again, but she was taken aback when Xiao Ran asked this question.

"Yes, my mother taught me some self-defense skills."

Xiao Ran nodded without doubt.

But as soon as he stepped out of the cell, a few uneasy thoughts suddenly flashed through his mind.

But it was only for a moment, because Pei Yun suddenly walked over from not far away on the bluestone slabs.

"Miss Xiao."
