The second step was this eerie haunted house. This was the step that broke through Zhao Jinhu's psychological defenses. After all, she had no evidence and could only guess. Zhao Jinhu thought he had a very good mental fortitude, but he was wrong. He started to feel scared as soon as he entered.

The third step was to induce Zhao Jinhu to reveal the hidden story behind it all.

These steps seem very simple, but it's really not easy for Bai Nuo to accomplish this. First of all, there's not enough time. Although he knows what's going on, there's still a lot of time to prepare. Secondly, if the other party doesn't fall for the trick, the first step will fail, and then there's no point in doing anything else.

Lord Sun wasn't always in this room; it was after she captured Zhao Jinhu that others went to invite Lord Sun over.

Another problem is that if Zhao Jinhu has a strong mentality and insists that his elder brother is dead and that Hu Mingmei killed him, and refuses to change his mind, then the plan will fail, and Bai Nuo will be accused of deceiving an official of the imperial court.

Unfortunately, Zhao Jinhu had done something wrong and felt guilty towards his elder brother, so he didn't see through Bai Nuo's plan, which allowed Bai Nuo's plan to succeed.

After Bai Nuo finished speaking, Zhao Jinhu's face was already ashen, and he kowtowed desperately, begging, "My lord, spare my life!"

"Lord Sun!" Bai Nuo suddenly spoke up, "Could we leave this person with us?"

Lord Sun glanced at Bai Nuo and said with a smile, "This man hasn't done anything wrong. Since you're not going to pursue the matter, I naturally have no reason to arrest him. It's up to you, Madam Hu, to decide how to deal with him. Just be careful not to cause any deaths!" Lord Sun gave Bai Nuo a reminder, thus doing her a favor.

He had a vague feeling that the Hu family was being targeted by a powerful figure. Considering that the crown prince had not yet been established and that the capital was a place prone to trouble, Lord Sun became more cautious in his actions.
