Aunt Zhong snorted coldly upon hearing this: "Hmph! So, the Lady of Anyang Marquis admits to hiring someone to commit arson and murder?! You were the ones who said you would sue my young lady for giving your young master a strong drug, and now you're the ones who say you're letting it go!"

"What? You think my young lady's reputation can be ruined so easily? Do you think the Jingzhao Prefecture is a place you can come and go as you please?!"

Granny Wu showed no anger, but instead gave an apologetic smile. "It is indeed our Anyang Marquis's Mansion that has wronged Miss Su in this matter. However, if Miss Su is unwilling to forgive Madam, could you please let this matter go for the sake of the Marquis once saving Lord Su?"

Five years ago, the Empress was dizzy and weak, so she asked Su Xing to treat her. Unexpectedly, after drinking the medicine Su Xing brewed, she not only did not get better, but was dizzy for a whole day and night.

When the emperor learned of this, he wanted to kill Su Xing.

Fortunately, Qiao Xiuyuan was present and pleaded for Su Xing, which saved Su Xing's life.

Otherwise, he would probably be dead by now.

The reason Su Muxi agreed to marry into the Marquis of Anyang's household was precisely because of this matter.

Although Su Muxi had already repaid what she owed over the past three years, Wu Mama's mention of Qiao Xiuyuan made Su Muxi hesitate again.

Seeing this, Su Xing spoke in a deep voice, "Please go back and tell Lady Anyang that I, Su Xing, will repay the kindness of Marquis Anyang in the future. However, this matter concerns my daughter's reputation and must not be left unresolved!"

"Changqing, see the guest out."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Changqing coldly gestured to Granny Wu and the others, saying, "Please."

Granny Wu's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal.

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer."

After everyone left, Su Muxi hesitated and said, "Father, justice will prevail. Why don't we just let this matter go? After all, Marquis Anyang saved you before, and he has been good to me for the past three years."

But Su Xing insisted, "This matter cannot be left like this! You did nothing wrong, why can't you seek justice for yourself?! If the Marquis of Anyang comes back and says that we are repaying kindness with enmity, then I will give him my life! In short, I will not let you suffer any more grievances!"

It was out of gratitude that his daughter married into the Marquis of Anyang's household.

It was out of gratitude that my daughter endured so much hardship.

Qiao Zixi was so arrogant and domineering; his daughter must have suffered countless hardships while in the Marquis's mansion.

Jiang appeared to be a gentle and dignified noblewoman, but in reality she was incredibly treacherous and vicious.

As for that Qiao Ziming, he's even worse. He allowed his mother and sister to bully Xi'er like this, which is truly hateful!

So this time, he was determined to get justice for his daughter no matter what!

Meanwhile, Qiao Ziming was carried by servants to see He Zhengyang in person.

"Withdraw the case? Ha! What does the young master take this government office for?! And even if you wanted to withdraw the case, do you think the Su family would agree?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Qiao Ziming's legs with a mocking look in her eyes.

This is retribution!

Seeing that Qiao Ziming was about to speak, He Zhengyang spoke first, saying, "No matter how much the young master says to me, it will be useless. Unless the Su family is willing to come in person to withdraw the case, the trial will continue after noon."

After saying that, he picked up his teacup and served tea to his guest as a gesture of farewell.

After being carried out of the government office by servants, Qiao Ziming looked around blankly, not knowing what to do.

Sun Shan said at the time that medical skills are subjective, and as long as he insisted on this point in court, he could get away safely.

After all, Sun Shan only stated a conclusion based on his own medical experience, yet his family acted in a way that was neither fair nor righteous, and repaid kindness with enmity.

Sun Shan's reputation may be damaged, but it is their Anyang Marquis's mansion that will truly suffer.

Only then will his marriage with Yingying truly change.

Thinking about the marriage, Qiao Ziming's eyes gradually dimmed.

But he was not willing to give up!

He can still stand up; he hasn't become truly disabled!

In just a few days, he will surely stand up again, and he and Yingying will spend the rest of their lives hand in hand, loving each other until old age!

"Let's go! To the Su family!"

Qiao Ziming spoke in a deep voice.

He wanted to see just how far Su Muxi would go before she would stop!

Half an hour later, Qiao Ziming arrived at the Su family's gate.

He had been married to Su Muxi for three years, and this was his first time visiting the Su family.

Even on the day of his return visit to his parents' home, he let Su Muxi go home by herself.

Now, he has come to the Su family, but he has no connection with them anymore.

Just as he was about to send a servant to knock on the door, the Su family's gate slowly opened from the inside.

However, before Qiao Ziming could speak, the door was slammed shut again with a loud bang.

Seeing Zhong Bin's horrified expression, Su Xing, who had just been helped out by Su Muxi, couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Zhong Bin pointed to the door and whispered, "Qiao Ziming is here."

Su Muxi frowned. Shouldn't Qiao Ziming be lying at home? Why would he be at her doorstep?

But Su Xing said coldly, "Open the door. I want to see what he's up to!"

It is said that even a day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of kindness. Although Qiao Ziming and Xi'er did not have a marital relationship, they had lived together for three years. After his leg recovered, he not only wanted to marry another man, but also allowed his mother and sister to bully Xi'er.

Now that they've seen that we won't back down, they've come to us personally?

He wanted to see what Qiao Ziming had to say to them!

Zhong Bin took a deep breath and reopened the door. Before he could even speak, a constable rushed over.

"Where is Miss Su?"

Su Muxi helped Su Xing slowly walk to the door. "I am Su Muxi. May I ask what business you have with me, officer?"

"The magistrate of the capital has specially ordered me to inform Miss Su that her case has been temporarily suspended and that she does not need to go to the yamen this afternoon."

Upon hearing the constable's words, the Su family members all looked at Qiao Ziming.

Qiao Ziming was also taken aback.

He Zhengyang was just serving tea to the guests, how come he suddenly agreed to withdraw the case?

"The heir of the Marquis of Anyang is quite cunning. So, did he appear at my door just to tell me not to make a wasted trip?"

Su Muxi spoke coldly, her eyes full of mockery.

Qiao Ziming opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He did achieve his goal, but the process was not quite what he had expected.

Just then, the constable realized something was wrong.

Although he also felt disgusted with the people of the Marquis of Anyang's mansion, he still had to explain things clearly.

"Miss Su, please don't misunderstand. Our magistrate is the most impartial and selfless, and he will not favor anyone. It's just that Dean Sun Shan died suddenly, and our magistrate has to investigate this matter first. As for your case, our magistrate will help you get justice later."

Su Muxi exclaimed in surprise, "Academician Sun is dead?!"

Seeing the suspicion in Su Muxi's eyes, Qiao Ziming quickly denied it, "It has nothing to do with me!"
