After Mrs. Sun left, Yan Wanqing called someone over and learned how the Sun Family had managed to save the person.
Aunt Liu made a scene at home, crying and causing chaos, even threatening to hang herself, which brought the whole matter in front of old Master Sun. He directly wrote a letter to the palace, requesting his granddaughter Sun Lianyi to plead with His Majesty.
Sun Lianyi, having no other choice and with a heavily pregnant belly, faced His Majesty and, relying on his current favor, dared to speak up. Once His Majesty eased up, Sun Wenxing was released.
To tidy up this affair and silence the public, the officials at the Dali Temple pinned the murder of Chai Shu entirely on Yan Minsheng.
This was why Mrs. Liu had been wailing just now; an exile of a thousand miles had turned into two thousand.
