Chapter 560: Not Satisfied with the Current Situation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At that moment, Chen Lin’er’s cheeks were already streaked with tears.
Qin Zhenzhen retrieved a handkerchief and delicately wiped away her tears. “We’ve decided to overturn your case and release you without any charges. You won’t be sent to the military camp.”
Chen Lin’er’s intense reaction to the mention of being a military prost.i.tute suddenly made sense. It appeared she had a haunting experience with it.
She had endured the most agonizing parting in the world, and it happened not once, but twice…
The pain was overwhelming.
No wonder she had contemplated ending her life.
Yet, she clearly departed with unresolved grievances.
“Thank you, Mrs. Sul” Chen Lin’er accepted Qin Zhenzhen’s handkerchief, feeling the warmth it held. She shook her head, saying, “You can’t confront them!”
Qin Zhenzhen wiped her own tears. “I’ve never attempted it before. How can I be certain it won’t work?”
Despite Qin Zhenzhen’s insistence, Chen Lin’er held fast to her perspective.
“It’s not worth sacrificing lives for.”
Qin Zhenzhen imparted, “We’re not alone. There are others. Unity is strength. No matter how towering a tree is, it will eventually fall.”
A spark of hope ignited in Chen Lin’er’s eyes. Yes, with Governor Su supported by the General Manor and the Third Prince, overthrowing the Public House wasn’t an impossible feat.
Curious, Qin Zhenzhen inquired, “Is w.a.n.g Nian’s confession still hidden?”
Chen Lin’er affirmed, “Yes, I’ve already buried it in the corner behind the house. There’s a loose stone there with a small hole inside. You can send someone to retrieve it.”
“Then, did you approach my husband’s cousin, w.a.n.g San? He expressed a desire to seek justice for us and even attempted to raise awareness about the injustice, but he was forcibly driven away a few times.”
“If you seek him out, he’ll surely agree. He’s a pitiable soul, the lone survivor in the family, bravely beating the drum to highlight the injustice…’
Qin Zhenzhen a.s.sured, “Alright, await our good news.”
As she was about to depart, Chen Lin’er unexpectedly inquired, “If I make it through, could you teach me how to cook these dishes?”
Qin Zhenzhen countered, “You want to learn?”
Chen Lin’er nodded resolutely. “I do.”
“If Governor Su successfully resolves my case, I may escape death, but I understand I can’t avoid consequences. I don’t want to burden you further. I just hope that, after learning to cook, I can a.s.sist in the kitchen when sent to the barracks. I don’t want to become a military prost.i.tute.”
Qin Zhenzhen was touched by her compa.s.sion. Despite enduring immense suffering, Chen Linter remained thoughtful of others.
“I vow that you’ll never be sent to the military camp. If it comes to settling the case, I’ll ensure your discreet release!”
Chen Lin’er cried and smiled. “Thank you, Mrs. Su!”
Qin Zhenzhen spent almost two hours in the cell.
Su Bin grew anxious.
Why were they conversing for so long?
His concern for his pregnant wife intensified.
Qin Zhenzhen scoffed at his worry. “Why are you so on edge? I’m simply listening to her story. It won’t tire me out.”
“Her life is truly difficult,” Su Bin sighed.
Qin Zhenzhen proceeded to recount everything that had transpired with Chen Lin’er.
When it came to the revelation that the bandits in the mountains were being manipulated by the Public House, Su Bin remained unsurprised.
“The Dragon Phoenix Hall just received intel confirming that the Public House has extended its influence to the bandits’ hideout.
“Their intention is to transform the bandits’ lair into a covert training ground.”
“It appears the Public House is no longer content with the status quo.”
“They are vying for that position of power.”
“Something significant might unfold in the capital soon.”
“Leaving the capital when we did was a prudent decision.”
“However, the path ahead for the Third Prince is even more challenging..”
