Xiang Qiuyun looked up at Su Xiaonuan pitifully. "Is...is...if I wrote it, I won't be sentenced to death?"

"You may escape the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment. You burned down so many shops. If the fire hadn't been put out in time, the entire food street would have been burned to the ground." Su Xiaonuan took the opportunity to scare this hateful woman. "However, your parents won't be implicated and have to sell their belongings. So, you have to write down the details so that the police will believe you."

"I'll write it, I'll write it," Xiang Qiuyun pleaded. "Xiao Nuan, it's all my fault. If I really go to jail, please visit my parents every few days. I'm their only daughter, and we don't have any relatives or friends in the provincial capital. Please, okay?"

"If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place," Su Xiaonuan thought to herself. This really proves the saying, "There's always a reason why someone is pitiful."

Xiang Qiuyun still looked at Su Xiaonuan pitifully, "Xiaonuan, I was wrong. Please take care of my parents in the future, okay?"

"If you confess sincerely, the police will give you a lighter sentence. If you know nothing about it and are just being deceived or coerced, you may be released without charge. You should consider it carefully!"

Su Xiaonuan was trying to get her to shift the blame. Only in this way would Xiang Qiuyun and Lan Yin completely break up. Otherwise, if these two wicked women got together, who knows how many heinous things they would do.

"What are you still looking at my sister-in-law for?" Moxi squatted down and took the notebook and pen in her hands. "If you don't want to write, fine, but you have a path to heaven that you refuse to take, and you insist on heading down the road to death. You want my sister-in-law to take care of your parents? You're dreaming! If you're smart, you'd better confess honestly, and maybe you'll be released without charge. Isn't it better for you to take care of your own parents?"

Seeing Moxi stand up, Xiang Qiuyun became anxious, "Don't take it away! I'll write it down, I'll definitely write down the details, it was all Lan Yin's fault, she tricked me into setting the fire, it was all that bad woman Lan Yin's fault."

When Mo Xi handed the paper and pen to Xiang Qiuyun, he raised an eyebrow at Su Xiaonuan and secretly gave her an OK sign.

Xiang Qiuyun's thoughts flowed freely; she had never written an essay so fluently before. She wrote non-stop with her pen, without pausing at all.

Xiao Moxi and Su Xiaonuan watched her write, both marveling at Xiang Qiuyun's ability to shift blame.

Lan Yin is a villain, but Xiang Qiuyun is the villain among villains. She completely portrays herself as a weak person who has been coerced, and even says that Lan Yin only went to set fire because she was rich and powerful.

What a clever way to whitewash the situation.

Su Xiaonuan genuinely felt sorry for this body; what kind of friends did it have?

Even worse than the "Plastic Flower Sisters," these are practically plastic flower sisters containing toxins.

Look at her, trying to clear her name by pinning all the blame on Lan Yin.

Although, this was exactly the result Su Xiaonuan wanted.

Having this manuscript written by Xiang Qiuyun herself not only gave them leverage over Lan Yin, but also caused Lan Yin and Xiang Qiuyun to completely turn against each other.

Su Xiaonuan specially prepared a large sheet of Xuan paper, which was filled with Xiang Qiuyun's writing. If it weren't for the limited paper, she would have listed even more of Lan Yin's crimes on the paper.

Xiang Qiuyun was going to great lengths to prove her innocence.

After finishing writing, Xiang Qiuyun collapsed onto the grass, utterly exhausted.

"Sister-in-law, take a look!" Xiao Moxi presented the incriminating evidence written by Xiang Qiuyun to her with both hands.

"No need to look anymore, keep it safe, we're going to the police station now." Su Xiaonuan said seriously, turning her head. "Moxi, let's go."

The two had walked quite a distance when Xiang Qiuyun was still not recovered from her fear.

Xiao Moxi and Su Xiaonuan burst out laughing; if they hadn't been restraining themselves, they would have laughed long ago.

The two women laughed until their stomachs hurt.

"Sister-in-law, you're absolutely brilliant!" Mo Xi laughed so hard she bent over, clutching her stomach. "You actually used such a dirty trick to scare Xiang Qiuyun out of her wits. I bet she won't be able to stand up all afternoon."

“With this, Lan Yin will be more cautious in her actions from now on.” Su Xiaonuan patted the folded paper. “Let’s go to the printing factory and print a few more copies. One copy will be given to Lan Yin so she can see what a terrible partner she’s working with, and another will be sent to the police station for filing. If our shop catches fire again in the future, she will be the prime suspect.”

Su Xiaonuan drove Moxi to the street printing factory. Although she only needed three copies, the factory required a minimum print run of ten copies. At that time, there were no copy shops, so if you wanted to print something, you had to go to the printing factory. Therefore, she had no choice but to print ten copies.

She put the three portions she needed into her bag, and gave the extras to Moxi. "Keep these safe."

“Okay, when Uncle Township Head and Aunt Hua arrive, I’ll give this to them so that everyone back home knows what kind of person Lan Yin is.” Mo Xi immediately realized the purpose of these testimonies.

"Let's go see Lanyin."

"Sister-in-law, I'm hungry. Let's go to your restaurant for a meal first."

"Didn't you hear Xiang Qiuyun say that Lan Yin is waiting for her at the Emperor Hotel to have dinner?" Su Xiaonuan turned the steering wheel and drove the car away. Having this double-cab vehicle is really much more convenient; she can go wherever she wants.

"You're taking me to such a fancy place to eat?" Mersey said, flattered. "Isn't that a bit expensive?"

“You did me a big favor today, so it’s only right that I spend some money on you. I’ll also broaden your horizons.” Su Xiaonuan glanced at her sideways. “Take out a hundred yuan from your bag and go buy two outfits later.”

"Sister-in-law, you're so good to me." She didn't stand on ceremony and took money from her bag. "After we finish eating, sister-in-law, take me to the wholesale market. I'll buy clothes there for cheaper."

"You shouldn't just buy cheap stuff. Your status is different now. You'll be going to the military compound every day for extra lessons, so you should buy a couple of nice outfits. Don't go to the wholesale market, go to the department store," Su Xiaonuan told her as she drove. "You're not a country girl anymore. You need to have some taste in your clothes, you know?"

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements, sister-in-law. I'll go to the department store to buy two nice outfits later." Mo Xi had originally planned to go to the wholesale market so she could buy two more outfits.

The Emperor Hotel is a large hotel in the provincial capital.

"Wow, there are so many cars parked here!" Moxi exclaimed like a country bumpkin visiting the city. "Sister-in-law, are all the cars parked here? It's amazing!"

In those days, there weren't many cars on the streets.

It was only when Murthy saw so many cars parked in front of the hotel that he was surprised.

"Don't make a fuss. Just come in with me and don't look around, okay?" Su Xiaonuan instructed her, afraid that she would repeat her old habit of being naive and ignorant.

"Sister-in-law, there are several people in police uniforms standing at the entrance. What if they won't let us in?" Moxi was startled by the display of force. "Does a big hotel need police on duty?"

"Those aren't police officers, they're hotel security personnel."

"Oh, I know, you mean those gatekeepers in our neighborhood?"

"More or less." Su Xiaonuan locked the car door, raised her head and walked straight into the hotel lobby.
