Bai Xue wanted to bring this matter to light and clear her mother's name.
She also desired to punish her grandfather harshly.
His grandfather was a high-status figure, accustomed to being on a pedestal, and he placed significant importance on his own reputation. If he were to be charged with homicide at his age and forced into prison, he wouldn't be able to bear it. Furthermore, when the news of her uncle not being his biological son spread across Jin City and became common knowledge, it would place him in the worst possible situation.
This, to her reputation-conscious grandfather, would be the greatest punishment!
Su Dongkun also understood Bai Xue's intention, and in a panic, he sought Su Yan's help. "Yan, you cannot let her do this to our grandfather! You can't!"
"Grandfather?" Su Yan scoffed. "Do you really feel you're worthy of being called that? Do you believe you still have the right to ask me for help, that you have any leverage to make me protect you?"
