Shen Hua returned to the pear garden, and it was from Nanny Cheng that she learned about the Yan Family incident.
"Miss, you had no idea. Not long after you left, the government officials, each carrying a knife at their waist, arrived with the forensic doctor, looking every bit the terrifying specters."
"They opened the coffin for an autopsy on the spot and concluded that Sister-in-law Yan was murdered. Underneath her clothes, there wasn't an inch of skin that wasn't bruised—some injuries were old, others were fresh. The Yan father and son were taken to the government office for interrogation right then and there."
In the end, close to the Emperor's feet in Shengjing, the officials acted swiftly.
Shen Hua looked down, thinking Father Yan was so timid that with just a little intimidation from the officials, he would confess everything. Perhaps the case would be thoroughly solved by tomorrow.
But she had overestimated Father Yan.
As the evening approached, the sky began to dim.
