One night.

Yan Jin slept soundly.

But some people are suffering.

Zhao Xinyu was imprisoned, waiting for the verdict after the matter was finalized.

At this moment, she was sitting on the ground with disheveled hair, staring blankly at the ground, thinking about everything that happened today, and felt as if she was dreaming.

Until now, she still can't figure it out.

Everything is clearly under my control, why did it turn out like this?

At this moment, rhythmic footsteps were heard in the prison.

Then, a familiar person appeared in the prison.

The person who came was none other than Grand Tutor Sun.

Looking at Zhao Xinyu who was now in such a mess, he suddenly felt happy and relieved.

Fortunately, I had just divorced my husband and moved out that day, otherwise, I would probably have lost my life there.

When she saw it was him, Zhao Xinyu's face turned extremely ugly.

He sneered and said, "Why? Are you so impatient to see me make a fool of myself?"

Taifu Sun refused to give in and said, "So what?"

"You vicious woman, you've ruined my life. It's all your own fault that you've ended up like this."

Facing the accusations from Grand Tutor Sun, Zhao Xinyu showed a hint of disdain on her face.

She sneered, "Really?"

"What about you? You cheated on your wife and even had an affair with my sister. How can you be so good?"

"Your inability to fulfill your duties as a man is retribution!"

"Neither of us is a good person, so what right do you have to say that about me?"

Upon hearing this, Master Sun was so angry that he was speechless.

He just made a man's mistake.

Zhao Xinyu, this madman, is simply unreasonable.

Looking at his ugly expression, Zhao Xinyu sneered disdainfully.

Even if she is in prison now, she is not someone who can be humiliated by any Tom, Dick or Harry.

Tutor Sun was eventually driven away in anger.

late at night.

Zhao Xinyu was about to fall asleep with a rare feeling of sleepiness, but someone stood in front of her again.

She looked up and saw that it was Qin Chuan.

A trace of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he sneered: "Why? Did you come here to laugh at me too?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you!"

Qin Chuan looked at her coldly and asked softly, "Who is the person behind you?"

Zhao Xinyu's expression froze, and then she said, "What do you mean by someone behind the scenes? I was the only one from the beginning to the end. I don't understand what you are saying."

Seeing that she refused to speak, Qin Chuan continued, "It's hard to find such good quality ointment in this border area. It's not something you can buy. And planning to get Chu Qinglin to buy it is even more impossible for you to do it!"

"Zhao Xinyu, if you are willing to tell me, I can spare your life."

When Zhao Xinyu heard Qin Chuan's words, she felt a little flustered.

She never thought that the other party would investigate so thoroughly.

"Also, it was probably you who had Jin'er kidnapped last time. What did that person want from the Xie family?"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand!"

Zhao Xinyu was shocked. She didn't expect that even though she did it perfectly, the other party still found a flaw.

"Stop pretending."

"I've already asked Li Wen, and she said you were the one behind all this. So, who is behind this?"

"You can't do it with your own strength!"

Looking at Qin Chuan's sharp eyes.

Zhao Xinyu admired it quietly for a moment.

Then, he chuckled and said, "You are so smart, Qin Chuan!"

"I've known you were smart since I was a kid, and you're still smart now."

"As expected, he's a man I like."

"But you are destined to be disappointed. They came to me because they thought I was jealous of Xie Xueqing and could be used. How could they possibly let me have any evidence against them?"

"I'm in this situation now because I'm not as skilled as others."

Zhao Xinyu chuckled, seemingly not caring about her future.

The three chances have been completely used up, and she is about to face death.

Now that I can take one last look at Qin Chuan, it’s worth it.

Qin Chuan looked at her intently for a long moment, then said, "If you are willing to help me, I can let you live."

Hearing this, Zhao Xinyu smiled disdainfully.

"What is there to live for? I have no family, no lover, and no ties. Death is my best destination."

"Qin Chuan, thank you."

Zhao Xinyu said this very frankly.

It's not that she didn't think about staying alive, but when she thought about the man's mysterious and unpredictable methods, she knew that even if she wanted to hide, she couldn't, so it was better to face it calmly.

Seeing that she refused to speak, Qin Chuan knew that he couldn't get anything out of her, so he turned and left.

Two days later.

night.

Zhao Xinyu sat in the cell, looking at the moonlight outside, feeling unprecedented peace in her heart.

She had a premonition that she might not be here tonight.

Sure enough, this idea just came to mind.

Then I heard the low and hoarse voice.

"You're such an idiot, you messed up everything."

"Now that your three chances have been completely used up, it's time for you to make amends."

As the man finished speaking, a black pill appeared in front of Zhao Xinyu.

Without hesitation, she took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

Since you are going to die, just do it decisively.

In less than a moment, a trace of blood appeared at the corner of Zhao Xinyu's mouth, and then her body softened and she slowly fell down.

The man in black looked at her body and sneered.

"It's so rare to find a useful chess piece, so naturally we have to make the best use of it."

The next day.

Qin Chuan looked at Zhao Xinyu's body and his expression turned cold.

He didn't intend to kill the other person, but the other person died.

The person behind is really fast!

"Go find someone to perform an autopsy to find out how she died."

Soon, an old man in his fifties came over.

Half an hour later.

This gentleman came out and looked at Qin Chuan.

"This is a poison from the frontier called poison painting. It's not common here."

When Qin Chuan heard the word "border", he clenched his fists tightly.

The scene of his aunt's death came to his mind. What did the imperial physician say at that time?

Memories began to overlap at this moment, and an unprecedented murderous intent surged in Qin Chuan's heart.

He had not been in the frontier for a long time, but he had never seen this poison. Now that he is back, he sees it frequently.

Is it that their own people are using it behind the scenes, or has the Meng Kingdom been infiltrated by forces from the border?

Now, the other party has set their sights on the Xie family again.

This time, I will definitely not let the other party succeed.

He has already lost his loved ones once, and he will definitely not lose them a second time.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan's tightly clenched fists loosened instantly.

He looked at Zhao Xinyu's body coldly and told his subordinates calmly: "Drag her out and bury her!"

"Remember to tell Lord Zhao the news at the time. After all, she is his daughter."
