The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

Chapter 16 Suicide out of fear of crime

He immediately told the servant, "I know your mother is still alive and is currently at Jiang Yinhua's manor. I have already sent someone to fetch her."

As soon as he finished speaking, both Abin and Jiang Yinhua were shocked.

This was done very discreetly, so how did Qin Xingyuan find out?

Qin Xingyuan smiled faintly at their shocked expressions. His younger sister had already told him the truth before she left.

“Your mother has already returned the stolen goods. I will plead with that family for leniency. I will also try my best to ensure your mother has good living conditions in prison. A month later, there will be a general amnesty, and your mother will be released. She won’t have to live a life of secrecy and furtivity anymore.”

"Don't be afraid. If someone instructed you, you're just an accomplice. If you can reveal the mastermind, you'll be doing a good deed and won't die."

“If you can tell the truth, I promise you that I will take care of your mother from now on and will never mistreat her.”

Upon hearing this, Ah Bin initially acted impulsively, wanting to take the blame, but after listening to Qin Xingyuan's words, he had a sudden realization.

It turns out that Minister Qin already knew all along.

My mother has been unable to leave the manor and live under her own identity for years, which has made her very unfree.

If, with the help of Minister Qin, one can restore their identity and life, that would be a good thing.

Compared to Vice Minister Jiang, Minister Qin is more credible.

Minister Jiang only seemed like a good person. After following Minister Jiang for several years, he gradually discovered that Minister Jiang was a ruthless person.

If I follow him, I might die sooner or later.

If that's the case, why should I take the blame for my young master?

"My lord, I confess, it was indeed my young master who instructed me to do these things! I didn't want to do it, but he threatened me with my mother's life! I'm willing to confess the truth, please spare my life!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yinhua's face turned ashen, and his heart skipped a beat.

If that's the case, wouldn't everything I've painstakingly built up be completely ruined?

To murder an official of the imperial court is a capital offense!

He also fantasized about taking Qin Xingyuan's place after killing him, about enjoying endless wealth and glory, and about receiving high-ranking positions and generous rewards after the War King ascended the throne.

All of this is just castles in the air.

"You lowly slave! If you spout any more nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Jiang Yinhua's eyes turned red as he cursed loudly.

But no matter how much he cursed, it was no use.

Jiang Yinhua was escorted back to the Dali Temple for trial.

The investigation into the plot to murder Qin Xingyuan has been largely confirmed.

Everyone was very surprised, unable to imagine that Jiang Yinhua would be such a person.

Later, Jiang Yinhua's home was searched, and a large amount of silver was found in the cellar.

Under interrogation, he finally admitted that he had accepted bribes.

Jiang Yinhua is completely finished.

Qin Xingyuan had been hoping that he would reveal the truth about the War King.

But this guy seemed to have been silenced, refusing to say anything.

It seems that the War King has something on him that he can't expose.

This left Qin Xingyuan feeling disappointed.

It seems that this War King Xiao Dongqian is indeed a ruthless and resourceful person.

They were able to orchestrate the plan so quietly and keep their subordinates from speaking out.

They're really tough to deal with.

Later, Jiang Yinhua committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

Qin Xingyuan recalled the moments he had spent with Jiang Yinhua and couldn't help but feel emotional.

His once capable subordinate, his good brother, has become someone who wants to kill him.

Later, when his crimes were exposed, he became a prisoner and eventually committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

He had visited Jiang Yinhua in prison before.

He knelt down and begged me, saying that he had acted foolishly and asking me to plead for him.

But Qin Xingyuan knew that being merciful to the enemy was being cruel to himself.

Now that they have the chance, they'll naturally try to destroy you. Why would they plead for you?

The next day, Qin Xingyuan returned home with a somber expression.

Qin Wanying stepped forward, glanced at Qin Xingyuan, and immediately knew what had happened.

[Jiang Yinhua committed suicide out of fear of punishment, failing to implicate Zhan Wang. This was unavoidable. Zhan Wang was meticulous in his actions and never left evidence, making him very difficult to bring down.]

Qin Xingyuan thought to himself, "My little sister makes a good point."

"Brother, you must be tired. Let me pour you some tea." Qin Wanying smiled as she poured tea and placed it in front of Qin Xingyuan.

Qin Xingyuan grew increasingly fond of his younger sister as he looked at her sensible demeanor.

Fortunately, the Marquis's mansion has Wanying. She is truly my good fortune and the good fortune of the Marquis's mansion.

"Little sister, weren't you going out to have your fortune told? Have you found a suitable place today?"

Qin Wanying smiled and nodded: "Big brother, because I need to disguise myself and don't want people to know my identity as the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, I can't use my family's shops."

"We did look at several places today and settled on a suitable location."

"That's good. Little sister, if you see anything nice, delicious, or fun outside, just buy it back. I'll give you money." Qin Xingyuan's gaze was gentle.

After saying that, he took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket: "Part of my salary is handed over to the government, and part is kept by myself. I don't spend much money. You girls love to buy new clothes and eat delicious pastries, so you can take all this money."

My little sister is meant to be pampered. Money sitting around rusting away is better spent on her.

When Qin Wanying saw that there were several hundred taels of silver, she knew that her elder brother had saved up for a long time. She quickly waved her hand and said, "Brother, I don't usually spend much. Besides, I can go out to earn money tomorrow. You should keep your silver notes for yourself."

[My brother must have saved up these silver notes for a long time. He's usually very frugal, has little material desire, doesn't spend much money, and hasn't bought any new clothes in a year.]

Now he's giving me all the money, how can my brother be so kind...?

Qin Xingyuan felt even more heartache seeing his little sister on the verge of tears. He was content that his little sister knew how to be grateful.

In the end, he used his authority as the eldest brother to force Qin Wanying to accept the silver note.

"Thank you, elder brother!" Qin Wanying bowed.

I want to make lots of money so I can support my older brother in the future...

Hearing his sister's heartfelt words, Qin Xingyuan felt even more gratified.

Big brother doesn't need little sister to support him. Big brother just hopes you'll be well and not get lost again, so that the whole Marquis's mansion can be well, peaceful and prosperous.

"In a few days, Wan Yue, your eldest sister, will be back to see you. You'll definitely like her."

[My amazing, capable older sister! That's wonderful! I can finally see her!]

In the novel, the eldest sister died young, killed by her scumbag brother-in-law. I must change her fate!

Upon hearing this, Qin Xingyuan's heart clenched violently, as if it were being gripped by a hand.

Did Wan Yue die young, or was she killed by her brother-in-law?
