After the news of flooding in Zezhou reached the southern region, the pressure of the water disaster on several cities, including Luzhou, instantly diminished. Luzhou had safely weathered a significant flood crisis.
Imagine if nothing had happened in Ze Province. With Luzhou's flood resistance capabilities, could it have avoided a massive flood crisis?
Sang Qingxiao's words were like a wake-up call. Sang Yuzhen suddenly stood up, pacing back and forth in anger, seemingly trying to calm her inner turmoil through this movement.
Sang Qingxiao cleared her throat again, "Aunt Zhen, these are just my speculations."
However, Sang Yuzhen replied, "Given Cao Lin's character, your speculation is likely true."
Sang Qingxiao continued to express her thoughts, "Regardless of whether my guess is true or not, we can make it true! Cao Lin is not a good person. If he were to be executed by the court for the Zhezhou Dam incident, it would serve as a form of justice for Sang Yumei."
Moreover, with this plan, you wouldn't have to spend half your fortune or sacrifice lives from Luzhou to save Yan Min.
As for gathering evidence, you can ask Sang Yumei for help; I believe she would be more than willing to assist you.
Sang Yuzhen looked at Sang Qingxiao and finally revealed a relieved smile. "Girl, your idea is brilliant; you've truly helped me a lot."
"Aunt Zhen, I want to hold an auction," Sang Qingxiao suddenly said.
Sang Yuzhen was taken aback for a moment but then smiled even more joyfully.
The relationship between them wasn't particularly close; they had only known of each other's existence for about a year and had spent only ten days together. Sang Yuzhen only knew that Sang Qingxiao was related to the Sang Family but didn't know which branch she belonged to. She had been curious but hadn't asked much.
Their common goal in handling issues related to the Sang Family led them to establish a friendly cooperative relationship. It was a fair exchange: you help me with something, and I'll help you with something else, which made both feel more secure.
"Whenever you need it, I'll have it ready and pass it on to you," Sang Yuzhen promised wholeheartedly.
"Let's wait until the case is resolved."
"Okay, I've noted that down."
Sang Qingxiao reminded her again that the reason for involving Cao Lin and Jingjing City was also to get him moving. During his relocation process, wherever he was most concerned about would likely be where he hid evidence of corruption.
With everything discussed, Sang Qingxiao left the details for Sang Yuzhen and Sang Yumei to sort out. After yawning several times in succession, she sleepily departed from Bai Family.
After walking a few steps out of the residence, Sang Qingxiao turned back to glance at Bai Residence.
Currently in Jingjing City, excluding her, there were already three women from the Sang Family—oh no, three plus one who was barely hanging on.
She recalled what Sang Yuzhen had told her about Sang Yumei's experiences.
Sang Qingxiao felt a wave of emotion; after all, she was the legitimate daughter of Prince Jing's Residence—the most favored girl among them. It was said that being so pampered made her proud and willful; she never looked anyone in the eye. Yet now, having fallen into disgrace was truly tragic.
The real Lady Bai of Bai Family was Sang Yuzhen's twin sister, Sang Yuzhu. These two sisters were born out of wedlock in Prince Jing's Residence. Before the troubles struck the royal household, they were both at an age where they were being courted. Sang Yuzhu's suitor was Yan Min from a humble background; however, she did not want to suffer alongside him in borderlands and eloped with the legitimate son of Imperial Merchant Bai Family instead.
