Madam Sun went to Wen's house crying, but was told that Lin Xing'er had returned to Marquis Wuding's Mansion. She had no choice but to go to Marquis Wuding's Mansion again.

When the steward of Marquis Wuding's mansion heard that it was the Sun family who came, he secretly reported the matter to Marquis Wuding's wife. Marquis Wuding's wife directly ordered someone to send Madam Sun away and no longer paid any attention to Sun Qianqian's affairs.

Madam Sun was desperate, so she sent someone to the palace to pass a message to Imperial Physician Sun.

But Doctor Sun was busy making Huaxi's facial ointment in the Imperial Hospital, and he was determined not to care about Sun Qianqian's affairs anymore, so there was no point looking for him.

Madam Sun couldn't wait for Doctor Sun, so she went to the yamen, only to see Sun Qianqian being pressed on a bench with her naked buttocks and beaten with a stick.

There were also many ordinary people watching around and enjoying the show.

When Mrs. Sun saw this, her eyes turned black, she vomited blood and fainted on the spot.

As for Sun Qianqian...

Bai Lu told Xie Jinyun everything she had seen: "Mr. He ordered me to be tied to a long bench and beaten with twenty sticks. I passed out from the pain. There are still many people watching. Madam, you have to suffer such humiliation and severe punishment for committing crimes against your superiors."

Xie Jinyun listened to Bai Lu's words absentmindedly, and replied intermittently: "This is still a light punishment. If Sun Qianqian really comes to me and commits a crime against me, I can beat her to death with sticks."

Now Sun Qianqian was just provoking her senior maid. If it was a minor matter, she would not be held accountable. But if it was a major matter, she would be punished like this: "As for why I let people into the inner hall to watch, it's called killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. If I do this, many people will hold me accountable and accuse me of my faults. I'm afraid they will think that I have bad intentions and cannot tolerate a girl in the boudoir. If someone else does it, huh..."

Xie Jinyun chuckled. No wonder Gu Changning said that He Yuanzhou was a good knife. At least so far, He Yuanzhou's knife was easy to use.

"After that, Sun Qianqian still wants to marry into a good family again?" Bai Lu asked in a low voice.

Hua Xi replied, "She definitely can't expect to marry into a rich family. Even if she wasn't dragged out and beaten by Lord He, with her status and upbringing, rich families wouldn't look down on her. Who else can she marry? Those poor men who want to enter the government will never marry a woman who has offended the Empress. If she finds an ordinary person, will she be willing? For someone like her, she can only cut off her hair and become a nun."

After Hua Xi finished speaking, she turned around and looked at Xie Jinyun. She found that Xie Jinyun's eyelids were fighting and he was in a bad mood. So she ordered the little palace maid beside her to take away the food and serve Xie Jinyun to rest.

Five days later, news spread from the Sun family that Mrs. Sun had accidentally drowned in her own small fish pond.

Imperial Physician Sun asked for leave from Xie Jinyun and returned to the Sun family to handle Madam Sun's funeral.

Little did she know that this funeral was planned entirely by Sun Qianqian. She needed to take advantage of an opportunity to lure He Yuanzhou, who had ruined her lifelong happiness, to the Sun family.

The Sun family's funeral was quite lively. Officials from the capital came to pay tribute to Madam Sun because Imperial Physician Sun now held a high position in front of the Empress and the Emperor.

He Yuanzhou did not come to pay his respects. The next day, word spread in the capital that Madam Sun had committed suicide, and the man who had forced Madam Sun to death was the current Inspector General He Yuanzhou.

Now, all the officials in the court were watching He Yuanzhou's fun.

When this news came out, Gu Changning and Xie Jinyun realized that Mrs. Sun’s death was not simple.

"Do you want to intervene?" Gu Changning looked at Xie Jinyun who was sitting at the desk opposite her.

Xie Jinyun closed the book and said, "Don't interfere. I want to see what Sun Qianqian wants to do next."
