On the following day, Liang Jin sent a messenger with the report, explaining the process of resolving the case.
Old Madam Qiu had been found guilty of ordering harm, and Granny Sun had been convicted of plotting for financial gain. Both had received sentences, with Old Madam Qiu facing three years of imprisonment.
Upon hearing this news, Liu Shulan fainted on the spot.
Su Dingheng, showing compassion, consoled her for an extended period. After Liu Shulan regained consciousness, she left without saying farewell, taking Su Yurou back to Yaoguang Garden. When Su Dingheng learned of this, he promptly pursued her.
Liu Shulan, in a pitiable tone, said, "Marquis, the people around me have committed such despicable acts. I can't face you, Marquis, with this disgrace, nor can I continue residing in Marquis's Manor. Marquis, please don't dwell on me."
