"Aha! Hahahaha! Hahahaha!"

Hearing Liu Su's anxious shouts, Song Xi suddenly burst into wild laughter.

He glared at Lin Zhao, feeling a sense of satisfaction at having avenged himself, even though he was still being restrained by Lin Zhao.

"Lin Zhao! You can't believe it! I've been planning and working hard on the frontier for seven years! I've long since raised a private army, and they're all at my disposal!"

Hearing the orderly footsteps of the soldiers outside, Song Xi became increasingly excited and arrogant, completely disregarding Lin Zhao.

He stiffened his neck and his eyes shone brightly.

“Now I have contacted them, and they will present my achievements to the Emperor one by one, and ask the Emperor to save me!”

"Lin Zhao... Hahahaha! With His Majesty standing up for me, you're finished! Your entire Lin family is finished! Bah! You poisonous woman! You vile hussy!"

Song Xi laughed and cursed at the same time, insulting Lin Zhao without any restraint, as if Lin Zhao had been trampled under his feet.

"Besides my achievements, they will also present the Emperor with evidence of your Lin family's treason. Aren't you curious? Why would the Lin family be accused of treason? Hahahaha, that's naturally because..."

"Snapped!"

"Even pigs and dogs bark loudly when they're about to die; I think that's absolutely true!"

Lin Zhao slapped Song Xi away, and Song Xi fell sideways into the corner of the bed.

He wiped the blood that had spurted from his mouth, glanced at Lin Zhao with a sinister look, and didn't care that his own excrement and urine had overflowed again.

"Pah! You're about to die anyway! Hahahaha!"

Lin Zhao was too lazy to argue with him, so he kicked him in the face again. "Looks like you're really stupid."

"what?"

Song Xi was kicked by Lin Zhao and his vision went black for a moment. When he came to his senses, he was puzzled as to why Lin Zhao would call him stupid out of the blue.

Lin Zhao snorted coldly. At that moment, the soldiers from the palace broke down the door and entered.

Song Xi put her doubts aside and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Lin Zhao! You're dead! Arrest this poisonous woman!"

He pointed at Lin Zhao and laughed loudly, instructing his soldiers to act, but the soldiers only glanced at Lin Zhao before rushing forward and capturing Song Xi.

There were also Xu Yanran and Xu Zhoucheng, who had already fainted to the side.

Song Xi was held down tightly, unable to move his legs, and his arms were in excruciating pain.

He looked utterly astonished. "What are you doing! I told you to arrest that wicked woman! Why are you arresting me?!"

He struggled desperately, and the hot-tempered officer punched him in the head.

"boom!"

"You think you're some high and mighty marquis?! You reek of excrement and piss, look at your filthy appearance! Being a prisoner is too good for you!"

"Hey bah!"

The officer in charge spat in Song Xi's face without any politeness. Song Xi squinted, her mind blank.

What do you mean?

What's the meaning!

What do you mean by arresting him and calling him a prisoner?!

Song Xi looked at Lin Zhao, puzzled. Lin Zhao stood with a smirk on his face and arms crossed, looking like he was watching a good show.

Liu Su then walked to Lin Zhao's side and reported back clearly.

“Miss, the manor has already submitted the charges to the Emperor. The Marquis… oh no, Song Xi’s crimes of raising a private army, colluding with foreign powers, and betraying the country have been confirmed. These gentlemen from the palace have come to arrest Song Xi and imprison him.”

"What?! What nonsense are you spouting! You wretched servant!"

"Snapped!"

"be honest!"

Before Lin Zhao could respond, Song Xi, who was kneeling in front of Lin Zhao, shouted. The officer in charge immediately slapped him again and held his arm down.

"Uh...you said...what did you say!"

Song Xi is still struggling.

She explained it very clearly, didn't you understand?

Lin Zhao shrugged, hooked Song Xi's chin with his toe, and looked down at him.

"Your private soldiers and the evidence against you have already been brought to court by my Tuolin Manor. Now that His Majesty knows about it, how do you think he will punish you?"

"Oh, right." Lin Zhao kicked Song Xi away and then pointed on the ground with his foot in the direction of Xu Yanran and Xu Zhoucheng.

"You, Song Xi, were also involved in the Xu family's treasonous act, and after so many years you still dare to try to overturn the Xu family's case. That only adds to your guilt, hahahaha!"

Lin Zhao laughed, but Song Xi's face turned ashen.

"No...no...that's not it! That's not it!" Song Xi shook her head violently. "The Xu family's treason...uh...yes...uh...I, Song Xi...uh!No..."

Song Xi sensed something was wrong. Although she didn't know how Lin Zhao obtained that evidence or how she altered his achievements, seeing Lin Zhao's confident demeanor and considering her methods these past few days, Song Xi just wanted to sever ties with Xu Yanran and the Xu family as soon as possible.

But for some reason, whenever he tried to say those words, his mouth seemed glued shut, and he just couldn't get them out.

He was so angry that he felt a surge of rage in his chest, and then, overwhelmed by anger, he coughed up another mouthful of blood.

"Hahahaha!"

Lin Zhao was having a great time playing with his magic.

"Alright, sir, lord, I'll address you as lord one more time. Stop struggling and come back to the palace with us."

Seeing that Song Xi was so angry that he vomited blood, the officer in charge tugged at him and tried to drag him out.

“If you die of anger now, the entire Marquis’s mansion will be implicated. You’d be better off going back to the palace to confess your crimes. Maybe you can get a lighter sentence.”

Song Xi was still shocked and angry, but she had no power to resist. She could only glare at Lin Zhao as she was taken away by the soldiers along with Xu Yanran and Xu Zhoucheng.

Before leaving, the officer in charge looked at Lin Zhao and said, "Madam, if this fellow is truly convicted, the Marquis's mansion will likely suffer as well. You'd better watch yourself."

Upon hearing this, Liu Su became quite nervous. She knew that Lin Zhao had been doing important things these days, and her biggest worry was that it would implicate Lin Zhao and the Lin family themselves.

Liu Su helped Lin Zhao up and said, "Miss, although the charges are flawless and it is true that Song Xi raised a private army, these are all capital crimes punishable by the extermination of nine generations of his family... Won't this implicate you, Miss?"

Moreover, if this matter gets out, Song Xi is backed by several generations of marquises. Will the Emperor spare Song Xi again out of consideration for the marquis's family?

In the end, Lin Zhao himself will suffer, and the entire Lin family will be criticized and condemned for their betrayal.

"No." Lin Zhao turned to look at Liu Su.

"This is the perfect time. Come with me to the street and take a look."

Liu Su was puzzled, but she still accompanied Lin Zhao out of the mansion.

As soon as she stepped out the gate, Liusu felt as if it were snowing heavily outside. She thought to herself that snow in June was truly a wonder of the ages, and then she thought of running back to the gatehouse to get a paper umbrella.

Lin Zhao pulled her back.

Just then, a piece of paper called "Flying Snow" drifted down in front of her. Liusu reached out and grabbed it, taking a look at the snow-white paper in her hand. Her eyes widened at the dense writing on it.
