Capítulo 377: Unfair

Upon hearing Qin Zhenzhen's response, Su Ning let out a sigh of relief, a secret happiness filling her heart.

Now, she could finally find peace of mind. If the governor faced conviction, he would never get the chance to propose marriage to their family. She would never be bound to that stiff, little master for the rest of her life.

However, the thought of the governor's family suffering due to his colossal crime crossed her mind. Naively, Su Ning remembered how kindly the magistrate's wife had treated them and inquired of Qin Zhenzhen, "Third Sister-in-law, if the governor is truly a bad person, will his family also face punishment?"

Qin Zhenzhen nodded in response. "Yes."

In a feudal society where imperial authority reigned supreme, an act like assassinating a prince would inevitably implicate multiple generations. She wondered if their entire family would face execution or be subjected to exile.
