In the dim corner, the lawyer lowered his voice and whispered, telling Chao Xinjie the whole story and analyzing it thoroughly one by one.

Chao Xinjie's legs began to tremble involuntarily, as if he had lost the strength to support his body.

A quarter of an hour later, Qin Fengyun was sentenced in court to four years in prison.

Qin Fengyun roared madly, like a trapped beast. He pounced on Sheng Yunrong hysterically, as if he wanted to put an end to this woman he always called mother with his own hands.

It is rare that the lives of two innocent women were saved at the cost of only four years in prison.

However, the person who was thrown into jail was the rich young man who once lived in endless luxury.

For him, every day in prison seemed longer than an ordinary year.

"Good! That's great! It really makes people happy!"

"Not long ago, I admired the talent of the eldest son of the Qin family! Who would have thought that he would be such a bad person!"

"Fortunately, this Young Master Qin was sent to prison, otherwise I really don't know how he would continue to hurt innocent women."

"But he will be released in four years..."

"We will worry about it four years later. Now he can be punished by law, which is something to be thankful for!"

Old Madam Qin's eyes were filled with tears as she stroked the cheek of Qin Fengyun, who had finally calmed down. She was so heartbroken that she almost suffocated.

Seeing her precious grandson, whom she had raised with her own hands, about to enter the cage, Old Lady Qin felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. The cane in her hand could not help but tremble, as if the pain penetrated her internal organs.

These four long years, not being able to be with him day and night, must have been such a torment for her!

"Grandma, grandma, save me!" Qin Fengyun held Madam Qin's hand tightly, and sparks ignited in his eyes again, "Grandma, you have always loved Fengyun, so you will not watch me go to jail!"

Madam Qin shed two turbid tears from her eyes, and her voice was weak and trembling: "Feng Yun, it's not that grandma is unwilling to help. It's really... in order to preserve the reputation and future of the Qin family, you have to go to jail. Only in this way can we protect the people's hearts of our Qin family and the family business can continue. If you want to blame, then blame your mother..."

Qin Fengyun collapsed to the ground, realizing that he had no way to escape.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure the four years of suffering in prison!

Sheng Yunrong stood outside the execution hall, and watched with a group of onlookers as the bailiffs escorted Qin Fengyun, put heavy shackles and handcuffs on him, and slowly sent him to the back prison for registration.

She could only wait silently for the emperor's imperial approval before Qin Fengyun could be officially sent to prison, but her heart was filled with helplessness and bitterness.

Old Madam Qin's face gradually became gloomy, like a sky covered with dark clouds.

She turned her head sharply and glanced at Sheng Yunrong. Just as she was about to explode, she heard Sheng Yunrong ask, "Mother, where is Wenyuan? Why can't I find him anywhere? Feng Yun is about to be imprisoned, how could he not come?"

"The emperor has specially ordered him to stay in the palace to rest. He never likes to socialize with others and always goes out alone. Where can he go?"

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Qin was speechless and could only mumble unclearly: "This...this..." She couldn't find the right words to refute for a moment.

Although Sheng Yunrong already knew something about the connection between Lingmeng and Wenyuan, they still had no idea how much she knew.

If she behaved too tolerantly at this moment, when she learned that Wenyuan and Lingmeng had spent nine years together, she would surely realize that Wenyuan's first meeting with her might have been a trap set up by their family.

By then, things will never be resolved easily!

Madam Qin racked her brains and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Perhaps there was an emergency and someone urgently summoned him away..."

Among the crowd, Xiang Zhu's face suddenly appeared. She looked extremely anxious, as if something big was happening.

Sheng Yunrong pretended to be deaf and dumb, and said vaguely: "Maybe... maybe..."

Old Madam Qin glanced at Sheng Yunrong secretly, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

Sheng Yunrong was indeed stupid. She actually believed such a far-fetched excuse.

Xiang Zhu slipped silently to Sheng Yunrong's side like a ghost, and no one else noticed her sudden disappearance and reappearance.

"Let's go back!" Old Madam Qin felt relieved, but she couldn't help but think of the heartbreaking incident of Qin Fengyun being arrested and imprisoned.

Worried.

"Yes, mother." Sheng Yunrong followed closely behind Old Madam Qin.

Xiang Zhu leaned close to Sheng Yunrong's ear and whispered, "Madam, I have already found the nearest wealth store of the Deng family. I followed those people who were moving the silver and money, and finally found that they actually loaded boxes of gold and silver onto carriages and transported them to a remote alley. There... I saw a eunuch and several soldiers waiting. They took over the property."

Eunuch? Soldier?

Sheng Yunrong's heart sank, and she couldn't help but think of Concubine Liu whom she met by chance in the palace last time.

Such a huge amount of money was transported into the palace, and there were eunuchs and strict guards. Could it be that Concubine Liu has already grasped the key evidence of the palace's defense and is preparing to implement her conspiracy to weaken the imperial capital's power and hollow out the palace's defenses?

"Madam, how should we deal with this situation now?" Xiang Zhu rubbed his hands anxiously.

She has been in the Qin Mansion for many years, but has never encountered such a difficult situation!

Sheng Yunrong suppressed the turmoil in her heart and said firmly, "Don't panic. Let's wait and see how things develop and act accordingly."

If the conspiracy of rebellion has already broken out, she and Qin Moyuan will definitely be in danger.

At present, only by being cautious can we maintain a little peace in the storm.

After arriving at the Qin residence, the maid who had been waiting for a long time came running over and excitedly reported: "Madam, Master Mo Yuan has woken up!"

"Awake?" Sheng Yunrong's eyes instantly lit up with joy.

She had no intention of maintaining a virtuous image in front of Old Madam Qin, and hurriedly walked into the house.

Old Madam Qin couldn't help feeling strange, but because of her long-standing prejudice against Sheng Yunrong, she immediately felt annoyed.

Sheng Yunrong is becoming more and more ignorant of the rules!

He was so flustered over a beggar that he even ignored the fact that his own son had just been arrested and imprisoned! He went to visit a beggar in such a hurry.

One really sympathizes with her golden grandson!

Under the cold gaze of his mother, he could only endure suffering alone in prison!

Old Madam Qin's heart was like a raging sea, and she was overwhelmed with grief. She tightly grasped the servant's collar and said in a trembling voice, "Where is Qin Wenyuan's child? Where did he go?"

The servant staggered and said, "Madam, when the master learned about this, he rushed to the government office."

"Okay, okay." Old Madam Qin uttered a few words with difficulty. As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes widened and she gritted her teeth, "Ling Meng, that vixen, is really plotting against my son all the time!"
