Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Indulgence
She had murdered soone and thus should receive the corresponding punishnt.
Even if she were dead, the deceased must know in the hereafter who killed them and exactly how they died…
A trace of coldness flashed through Chu Yuxiao’s eyes as he looked at Su Yan, and a cold smile appeared on his lips,
“So, what do you want to do? Even if it’s announced to the world that Aunt Lan is the murderer, what then?
Can the dead co back to life? Nan Zhao Su Yan, don’t flatter yourself into thinking you’re so noble, alright?
Don’t imagine that I am a man of integrity and fairness, let tell you, as long as I wish it, I wouldn’t care if Aunt Lan killed a hundred, or even a thousand people!”
...
“You!” Su Yan was stunned.
She hadn’t expected that Chu Yuxiao would go to such lengths in indulgence for the people he cared about.
Indeed, she thought, if modern society couldn’t be entirely fair, then a feudal society was even less likely.
That Chu Yuxiao was willing to compensate the families of the victims was already quite comndable. If he were forced to proclaim to the world that Aunt Lan was the culprit,
he surely wouldn’t want to.
Because doing so would saddle Aunt Lan with a lifeti of sha and destroy her reputation…
How could he, who cared so deeply for his kin, allow Aunt Lan to be insulted by others even after her death?
Never mind, Aunt Lan was also dead.
And the victims could not be brought back to life; no matter how much she fought for them, what use would it be…
Su Yan quickly changed her mind and was willing to accept Chu Yuxiao’s arrangents.
“Alright, let’s do as you say, not revealing who the murderer is.”
Her voice was sowhat powerless, carrying a hint of faint resignation.
Just being transported to this strange era had left her feeling helpless.
And how could she, with her modern thinking, change the ways of ancient people…
Chu Yuxiao found a corpse to act as the murderer, and the murder case in Linglan City was quickly laid to rest.
No one knew the real culprit was soone else, only Chu Yuxiao and Su Yan knew.
As ti passed, people gradually forgot about the incident, and everything returned to tranquility.
………..
“Princess, last night, the Marquis was drunk again,” Jin Lan murmured while grinding ink for Su Yan.
