"Pfft!" He Lin couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Meanwhile, Han Weiwei on the other side of the wall burst out laughing, clutching her stomach: "Hahaha, Tuantuan, I told you you'd gained weight! You can't eat anymore, you have to lose weight! Hahaha!"

Xiao Tuantuan twisted her body and found there was still a sliver of space: "Stop laughing, hurry up and pull me out!"

"Okay, okay, hahaha!" Han Weiwei quickly grabbed Xiao Tuantuan's arm, suppressing her laughter as she pulled her outside.

He Lin pressed her body against Xiao Tuantuan's buttocks, pushing her forcefully inside.

"Ouch! That hurts!" Xiao Tuantuan cried out, filled with resentment! Why did she have to listen to them and crawl through the dog hole! She could have easily climbed over the wall and gotten out!

He Lin wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at the sun on the horizon, and sighed, "What a mess this is!"

Just then, a figure flashed by. He Lin was about to call out when she saw the person make a shushing gesture.

Ning Nanxiao never expected that he would see Xiao Tuantuan eight out of ten times he came to the bamboo forest, and this time he would see her in such a disheveled state.

He couldn't help but smile and waved to He Lin, signaling her to move aside.

He Lin hesitated for a moment, thinking that Ning Nanxiao was General Bai's junior and had a good relationship with Chen Xingfeng and Chen Lingfeng, so he probably wouldn't hurt Xiao Tuantuan. She carefully stepped aside, but still looked at Ning Nanxiao warily.

"Waaaaah, He Lin, don't let go! Push me away! Waaaaah!" Xiao Tuantuan was so anxious!

He Lin opened her mouth, then stammered, "Ah, oh, okay, wait a minute..."

Ning Nanxiao tugged at his robe, revealing one foot, and kicked Xiao Tuantuan directly in the butt!

"Ahhh! He Lin! Ouch!"

"Ouch! Ouch!"

"Xiao Tuantuan, get up! You're too heavy! You're pressing on me!"

Han Weiwei shouted, and Xiao Tuantuan realized that she was already out. She quickly stood up and said, "Hahaha, I'm out!"

Han Weiwei patted the dust off her clothes, then patted the dust off Xiao Tuantuan, and said helplessly, "You should eat less! You've gone from being skinny and dark-skinned to being chubby and fair-skinned!"

"That's great!" Xiao Tuantuan puffed out her chest. "Gaining weight means you're blessed!"

Han Weiwei's lips twitched; I was speechless with emotion.

"Young Master Ning..." He Lin stared wide-eyed at what she was seeing, utterly incredulous. This...

Ning Nanxiao lowered his voice and said, "No need to tell her, I'm leaving."

Watching Ning Nanxiao's retreating figure, He Lin frowned. Could it be that Young Master Ning came here specifically to help her?

No, that's not right. He must have come specifically to help Tuantuan, since Young Master Ning is a good friend of Tuantuan's brother.

"He Lin, come here quickly!" Han Weiwei's voice pulled He Lin back to reality.

He Lin quickly slipped through, and the three of them swiftly arrived at the entrance of the yamen.

At this moment, a large crowd of people had gathered at the entrance of the government office. Judging from the weeping and wailing sounds coming from inside, it was clear that it was Sun Xiaoli.

"I didn't, I didn't kill anyone, I didn't..." Sun Xiaoli kept crying. Liu Zhengyu, who was standing next to her, quickly said, "Li'er, quickly tell the adults that you don't know Wang Fugui!"

However, Sun Xiaoli just cried and didn't say anything.

"Sun Xiaoli and Wang Fugui?" Han Weiwei was taken aback. "The two of them?"

No sooner had Han Weiwei finished speaking than Lord Han slammed his gavel down: "Guards, bring the evidence!"

Sun Xiaoli covered her face and cried. When she heard Lord Han's words, she saw the familiar envelope through her fingers and panicked!

"Can you recognize this handwriting?"

Mrs. Liu immediately picked it up, and upon seeing its contents, she trembled all over.

Liu Zhengyu naturally saw the contents as well, and his expression changed from disbelief to anger!

"You bitch!"

With a loud "slap," Liu Zhengyu slapped Sun Xiaoli across the face: "You bitch! How dare you lie to me!"

Madam Liu was also furious, grabbing Sun Xiaoli's hair: "You actually want Zhengyu to be the father of your child! What a clever switcheroo! The child in your belly is clearly Wang Fugui's! How could you do this to me!"

"Ah!" Sun Xiaoli screamed, "Auntie, I didn't, cousin, I didn't, it wasn't me..."

"No? You dare say these letters weren't written to you by Wang Fugui? With so many letters, do you think I'm stupid enough to believe it's just Wang Fugui's wishful thinking!"

Liu Zhengyu's chest heaved with rage: "Is this how you treat me! You bitch! You bitch!"

"Enough!" Lord Han slammed his gavel again and asked the county magistrate, "Do you have any evidence to prove that Sun Xiaoli is the murderer?"

"I have it! Your Honor! My son agreed to elope with Sun Xiaoli, and Sun Xiaoli even said that if my son didn't want to, she would drag him along as a pair of fugitives! I suspect that she killed my son!"

Lord Han frowned and looked at Sun Xiaoli with suspicion.

Sun Xiaoli quickly shook her head: "I don't have any adults here. The contents of the letter are not to be taken seriously. I was just playing along!"

"What a charade!" the county magistrate shouted. "My son is dead, and we can't verify anything you say. But if it really was just a charade, why do you wear the jade pendant my son gave you so close to your body?"

Everyone's eyes turned to look, and sure enough, they saw the jade pendant on Sun Xiaoli's waist.

Sun Xiaoli hurriedly covered the jade pendant. She didn't wear it because it was a gift from Wang Fugui, but because it was worth a fortune and wearing it could satisfy her vanity.

How could she have known that one day this jade pendant would become evidence to destroy her!

“No, I didn’t, it’s not like that…” Sun Xiaoli kept shaking her head.

"Aunt, cousin, I didn't kill anyone. You know I wouldn't even step on an ant, how could I have killed someone!"

"Hmph." Madam Liu sneered, stood up, looked at Sun Xiaoli, and said through gritted teeth, "You're afraid to even step on an ant? Then who pushed Yuanyuan into the river? Who deliberately set fire to Yuanyuan! Tell me!"

"Yes! Mother is right! You deliberately stabbed yourself, and you're blaming Yuanyuan! You were the one who killed the dog at the back gate, but you're framing Yuanyuan! You've been so vicious since you were little, you might be the one who killed the person!"

The thought that he had almost raised someone else's child made Liu Zhengyu want to strangle the promiscuous woman in front of him!

Sun Xiaoli looked at Liu Zhengyu and his wife in disbelief, then suddenly burst into laughter!

"Yes! So what if it's me? But didn't you choose to believe me? Don't you think it's too late to seek justice for Liu Yuanyuan now?"

"Liu Zhengyu is biased because he covets my looks and my body! And Madam Liu, your favoritism towards me is nothing more than an attempt to use me for a marriage alliance to gain benefits!"

"You all have your own selfish motives. Saying you treat me like your own daughter? Bah! Hypocrites!"

"You bitch!" Madam Liu tried to slap her, but Sun Xiaoli dodged it and then slapped Madam Liu back!

Liu Zhengyu naturally wouldn't stand idly by, and kicked her.

"Stop!" Lord Han shouted. "Liu Zhengyu murdered an innocent person and framed a virtuous woman..."

As Lord Han's voice fell, Liu Zhengyu was sentenced to three years, his wife to one year, and Sun Xiaoli to life imprisonment.

Master Liu hurriedly made arrangements, spending all his wealth to bail out Madam Liu.

"Madam, you're so foolish! Yuanyuan is your own daughter!"

Madam Liu finally understood the meaning of the word "regret," and wiping away her tears, she said, "My lord, I was wrong, I was really wrong..."

In the academy, Xiao Tuantuan and her two companions watched Liu Yuanyuan pack her things and slowly said, "Yuanyuan, are you really leaving?"

Liu Yuanyuan nodded, slung the package over her shoulder, and smiled brightly: "Daddy is taking us back to our hometown. My hometown is Jinzhou. See you again someday."

Xiao Tuantuan quickened her pace, her little face full of seriousness: "Yuanyuan, you are my first friend. This is a jade pendant that my uncle carved for me. I'm giving it to you as a keepsake."

Liu Yuanyuan took it and looked at the intricate patterns on it with some confusion.

Xiao Tuantuan tilted her head, her soft voice exceptionally pleasant: "This is a hibiscus flower, wishing Yuanyuan a bright future and lasting peace and happiness."
