"Those members of the Qi Family are truly pitiful. Just when things were starting to get better, Da Qiao wound up facing a murder charge."
"What's so pitiful about them? Qi Jinghe clearly isn't a good person. Having a child before marriage would be one thing, but he's always showing his face in public, even going to town to set up a stall. This time, Da Qiao got into a fight because of him."

That night, in the jail in Xiaoqiu Town.
Su Qiao lazily leaned against the pile of straw, slowly examining the silver hairpin in her hand.
"Little Four, keep an eye on Liu Jianfang and Magistrate Guo. See whether anyone goes to meet with them."
Understood.
"Have they left the village?"
After you left, they packed up and left by the path behind the mountain. They've already reached town under cover of darkness and are staying at the Peace Inn. No one is following them.
"That's good."
As long as they were safe, she could focus on finding and killing the people behind all this.
"Hey, time to eat."
A female constable kicked the wooden bars and shoved the food from the box in her hand inside.
"Here. You helped us in court last time, so we're not the sort of people who forget a favor."
Su Qiao's gaze fell on the food.
There were both meat and vegetables?
Host, it's poisoned. Just now, someone gave her a packet of poison and a bag of silver.
"Mm."
She had smelled it the moment the food box was opened.
And it was a deadly poison that would make her bleed from all seven orifices and die as soon as it entered her mouth.
It seemed the person behind this really wanted her dead.
