Seeing that Granny Yang had admitted her mistake, Shen Qingchi said, "Granny Yang, since you have admitted it, I will punish you leniently. You will now return the deposit for the car sale and be given twenty strokes of the cane as a warning to others."
Soon, several yamen runners came forward and dragged Granny Yang into the county yamen, and the others followed them in.
In the county court, Granny Yang was pinned to the torture device by the bailiffs. Xiao Wenjing, worried that his mother couldn't withstand it, knelt down in the court to plead for her.
"Your Honor, I beg you to be lenient with my mother. Twenty strokes of the cane will surely kill her."
The old man gave Shen Qingchi a wink, and Shen Qingchi immediately interrupted Xiao Wenjing, saying sternly, "You all must not plead for her. If it weren't for the fact that she confessed on her own initiative, I would definitely sentence her to three to five years in prison."

Xiao Wenjing sighed helplessly, knowing that saying anything more would be pointless.
After Granny Yang was punished, Xiao Jingchuan tried to break off the marriage alliance, but Xiao Wenjing disagreed, and the matter was dropped.

Granny Yang fainted on the spot. The bailiffs made sure she was not in any danger before taking her away.
The farce is over!
Shen Qingchi announced that he was adjourning the court.
Supported by his son, Xiao Wenjing staggered out of the county government office.
Chu Yunfan, who came out next, rushed up to Shen Yunsheng with a sheepish grin, "Miss Shen! How did I do just now?"
