Wu Hongtao knew that his current excuses would not deceive Liang Jin, so he shifted the blame onto Su Yingxue. "Lord Liang, Su Yingxue has also committed a serious crime. You must not tolerate it!"

In Liang Jin's eyes, Wu Hongtao's disregard for familial relations was even more shameful than Su Yingxue's actions.

With a stern face, Liang Jin responded, "I will make my judgment."

He sat down and contemplated how to handle the situation.

After half an hour, Liang Jin looked at Wu Hongtao and Su Yingxue. "Both of you are plaintiffs and defendants, and both of you have made mistakes. Therefore, I have decided to take both of you back to the Capital Prefecture for custody and schedule a court hearing at a later date."

Wu Hongtao couldn't stay silent any longer. "Lord Liang, this... I am an appointed official of the court. How can I be placed under custody? If this news spreads, I will lose my reputation! This cannot be!"
