Qiao Lian'er and Qiao Zhizhi came with the Imperial Guards.
At the same time, the two thugs who had been caught were also brought in like chickens.
Old Master Sun limped forward, clasped his hands in a salute, and said, "Lord Qin, Deputy General Luo, this is—"
Despite the current situation, Grandpa Sun still held onto a sliver of hope.
Lord Qin tossed the registration book in his hand over.
"Lu Guchuan's poem, 'The peonies bloom overnight, splashing crimson across the garden,' was inscribed on his painting by the painter Qiao, which caused a lot of trouble. Before this trouble, your Sun family went to the Qiao family and bought that painting."
"Later, rumors spread, and even the peonies in Guofang Park withered and died. These were all abnormal phenomena. Upon investigation, it was found that someone was stirring up trouble behind the scenes, not only trying to frame others but also trying to harm the country. This is a serious crime."
Looking at the registration record, Grandpa Sun realized that the buyer was none other than the Third Young Master Sun. It seemed that the Third Young Master Sun spoiled Sun Hetang too much, allowing her to act recklessly and without restraint.
He closed his eyes, knowing that this time he was doomed.
The way the Third Young Master Sun looked at Sun Hetang was filled with resentment.
It was one thing for Sun Hetang to harm his elder brother, but he insisted on going his own way and trying to deal with the Qiao family alone, which ultimately harmed the entire Sun family.
They even said they wanted to do good for the Sun family, which is probably to remove obstacles for the Qiao family to do good.
Lord Qin glanced sideways at the two thugs: "You can identify her now, is it her?"
The two thugs looked at Sun Hetang, who was now completely terrified.
Sun Hetang has a round face and a naturally charming appearance, which is why they remember her so well.
"It was her, it was her. She took the printed paintings and asked us to spread those bad things in the streets and alleys. We were just blinded by greed and gave in to her bribes."
Another thug quickly said, "We're always hungry, sometimes starving, sometimes full, so we're always grateful for any good food—we never imagined things would get this serious."
"Search then," Deputy General Luo said coldly.
Imperial Guard detachments stormed into the various courtyards.
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me, I don't know anything, it must have been Third Brother who did it, Third Brother took it upon himself to do it." Sun Hetang's first reaction was to push the blame onto the Third Young Master Sun.
Young Master Sun smiled bitterly: "Fifth Sister, it doesn't matter anymore whether it's me or you. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact."
They're about to lose their home, and they're still shirking responsibility. What's the point?
He only regretted not stopping Sun Hetang at the beginning, but letting her do as she pleased. Now, disaster is imminent and the building is about to collapse, it's too late to say anything.
Sun Hetang was suddenly struck by this fact and felt a chill run through his entire body.
The charges have been essentially substantiated. The original painting is kept in her study, along with the identification by these two individuals.
It seems there are still some printed materials that haven't been distributed yet—
She was overconfident and shouldn't have shown her face. She also failed to cover up the traces that followed. Otherwise, she might have been able to fight back with her excuses.
The Yan family watched over all the members of the Sun family, and immediately the cries of women and children filled the air.
Judging from the Imperial Guards' posture, the Sun family will have a tough time getting past them.
Sun Hetang subconsciously looked at Qiao Lian'er and Qiao Zhizhi. Qiao Lian'er's expression was indifferent, as if this was just an ordinary meal for her, while Qiao Zhizhi looked at her with a hint of sarcasm and amusement.
The slap on her face stung terribly.
