As Bai Ruirui heard her mother's reassuring words, she couldn't contain her joy. She embraced Fan Ruyin's arm tightly, rubbing against her affectionately. "Mother, you're brilliant! I knew you'd come up with something!"
Fan Ruyin smirked, lightly patting her daughter's hand. "Just wait and watch. We'll see results soon enough."
Meanwhile, Sun Pu, Prefect Liu, and their cohorts trembled with fear as they faced Shao Yunduan's wrath. Prefect Liu, in particular, was terrified.
Shao Yunduan likely discerned the Sun Family's machinations against him. Retaliation could mean his demise.
Yet, to their astonishment, Shao Yunduan didn't spill blood. Instead, he expelled them all.
In truth, Shao Yunduan's actions were unnecessary. Once freed, they wished they had extra legs to escape faster, almost disowning their families in the process.
Prefect Liu was ready to forsake everything, including his amassed wealth.
