"The new emperor ascended the throne and immediately forced the old marquis to death. Once this news gets out, how will the emperor have the nerve to pursue the millions of taels of silver owed by his family?"
"I had no choice but to appease that family and give them a reward so that the old marquis could have a proper burial."
After saying this, Su Wanti sighed softly:
"If something unexpected happens at home, something serious, the emperor will naturally show some mercy. I'll beg him again, and maybe my brother can be released..."
Madam Su's eyes were deep, her lips were trembling, and her hands were shaking constantly.
