Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Lady of the Marquis’ Mansion aimed to portray herself as pitiable in hopes of melting the Old Marquis’ heart.
Out of the blue, the Old Marquis asked her, “Bao’er, were you involved in Madam’s demise in the past?”
Taken aback, she broke into tears once more, replying, “If there’s any connection, it’s that I failed to take proper care of my sister!”
“Marquis, I’ve repeated it 800 times—I didn’t poison sister. Are you still doubting me?”
The Old Marquis wore a grim expression. “Don’t deceive me!”
“Su Bin has approached the Court of Judicial Review. It won’t be long before he becomes a minister there. They must have informed you of this, haven’t they?”
“Now, what I must convey is that Su Bin has reviewed the evidence and information his father submitted to the Court of Judicial Review, and he intends to present it to the emperor. He wishes to reopen this case.” “If you truly had no involvement, it would ease my mind.”

Decades ago, she had erased all traces of evidence. No amount of investigation would daunt her.
However, the Old Marquis pressed on, “Su Bin is determined to reopen this case, and he is not merely making empty promises.”
“The emperor will swiftly grant special permission for the Court of Judicial Review to reinvestigate. The emperor is eager to ascertain your connection to Madam’s death.”
“Because if there is indeed a link, Su Bin and the others will despise me and will never return to the Marquis Mansion.”
“No one within the Marquis Mansion can be considered as an heir.”
“The Emperor finds this outcome most agreeable, as he has long ceased providing financial support to our Marquis Mansion.”
The Lady of the Marquis’ Mansion was profoundly shaken. “The King no longer wishes to provide us with financial support?”
“That’s correct! I’ve long ceased dwelling on it!”
As they discussed this matter, the Old Marquis grew increasingly incensed.
“Doesn’t he realize that these honors and silver were secured at the cost of our ancestors’ sacrifices?”
It was said that their forebears had planted the trees, and it was now the descendants enjoying the shade. The Marquis Mansion had only flourished over a few generations, and the Emperor had chosen to withhold support.
The Lady ot the Marquis’ Mansion was even more astounded. “Will the emperor possibly arrange for someone to fake Su Bin’s death in an attempt to prove my sister’s demise is connected to me?”
“Does that mean I’ll face execution?”
The Old Marquis consoled her. “No need to fret over that. If you’re innocent, there’s nothing to fear.”
“Su Bin is astute and perceptive. His discernment runs deeper than it appears.
He’ll undoubtedly detect any attempts at deception.”
The Lady of the Marquis’ Mansion breathed a sigh of relief.
However, a short while later, her heart skipped a beat once more.
It was also at Zhenzhen Restaurant where the Old Marquis had arranged to meet Su Bin.

“The Emperor is eager for you to completely sever ties with me. This way, he won’t need to allocate a substantial sum to the Marquis Mansion each year.”
“I’m just concerned that the Emperor might seize the opportunity to bring forth a witness, testifying that your grandmother was poisoned by her, and that I shielded the murderer back then.”
“You might harbor resentment and choose to distance yourself from the
Marquis Mansion.”
Su Bin calmly responded, “Please don’t underestimate my intelligence. If I couldn’t even recognize a false witness, the Emperor wouldn’t have appointed me to the Court of Judicial Review.”
“Don’t worry. Proceed with the case’s reinvestigation. I promise to be impartial. ”
“Furthermore, I must inform you that I have the support of the Dragon Phoenix Hall. Their records span not just a few decades but even centuries.”
“Therefore, I’ve made the decision to reopen the case. It won’t be a challenging task.”
“We’ll have our answers soon.”
Upon hearing this, the Old Marquis couldn’t shake an unexplainable sense of worry.
Please, let the truth remain concealed!
