Case filing, investigation, evidence collection, trial …
Insufficient evidence, further investigation, evidence collection, trial …
What made her sad was that Yuan Xuan never appeared again after seeing her that one time!
Moreover, Yuan Xuan cut off her escape route — anyone who tried to bail her out would be killed without mercy!
Of course, the Mu Family did not dare to offend Yuan Xuan.
Mu Chenyan thought that the case would soon come to an end, and that what awaited her was only death!
Thus, she gave up on all her complaints and resisted with silence!
However, she was too optimistic about the situation!
Yuan Xuan did not allow her to fend for herself …
…
"Miss Mu, I'm your lawyer. Mr Yuan has given me full responsibility for your case!"
The lawyer named Wu Ze became the person that Mu Chenyan interacted with the most in the past seven hundred days.
This famous lawyer became the person who cared about her life and death the most in this world.
From the first trial to the second trial, from the second trial to the appeal, it took more than half a year!
Mu Chenyan saw that Wu Ze was doing his job diligently.
Thus, from the death penalty to life imprisonment, from life imprisonment to acquittal, Mu Chenyan stayed out of it as if she was watching someone else's story.
…
Whenever night fell and everything was silent, Mu Chenyan would stare at the ceiling in a daze and silently think of Yuan Xuan's words.
Did he hate her?
There was no doubt about it!
He thought that she killed Shu Qinger!
Her naive fantasy that her sincerity could split open metal and stone turned into bubbles on the day of Shu Qinger's death!
Was the father of the fetus Yuan Xuan?
Mu Chenyan never dared to think about the answer to this question!
However, she knew that Shu Qinger's body was buried in the Yuan Family's private cemetery, along with the unborn fetus.

Mu Chenyan exited the pitch-black metal door. The free air carried traces of coolness that seeped into her lungs and spleen …
Mu Chenyan looked up at the gloomy sky with a slight smile on her lips and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes!
The autumn rain was always lingering.
Luo Hai City had been haunted by this kind of haze for an entire week, but today was a rare day!
The road was washed by the rain again and again, and the potholes on the wet road were already filled with water.
The cold wind blew, and the puddles shimmered.
Mu Chenyan wrapped the thin old coat tightly around her body. The shoes on her feet were still the canvas shoes that her brother had given her when she first came in.
His shoes, which had been washed until they had turned white, were splashed with mud and rainwater. A chilling sensation spread from the soles of his feet.
Mu Chenyan was completely unaware of this. She stepped forward and allowed her shoes to continue being attacked by the rainwater on the ground …
A black Jaguar slammed on the brakes and stopped beside Mu Chenyan.
The ear-piercing sound of the brakes made Mu Chenyan raise her head. Her face was cold and emotionless, and her clear gaze sized up the old and young duo who had alighted from the car.
The old man's temples were white, and his face was as deep as it had been more than ten years ago. The veins on his flushed skin were bulging. He looked at Mu Chenyan and said, "Young Mistress, Young Master has asked Ah Fu and me to bring you to the Yuan Family Mansion!"
The young lady beside him must be Ah Fu. She had a slim figure, but she was respectfully supporting Butler Fu.
Mu Chenyan smiled faintly. Yuan Xuan did not come himself but sent Butler Fu. Was he not giving her enough face?
After all, Butler Fu was someone who had gone through fire and water with Old Master Yuan. His current position in the Yuan Family was not lower than the Young Master's.
Ah Fu's limpid eyes curiously sized up Mu Chenyan.
When she came to the Yuan Family Mansion, Mu Chenyan was already trapped.
Everyone in the Yuan Family Mansion knew about their mistress' current situation, but everyone was wise to protect themselves and did not mention a word about it.
Ah Fu was brought into the Yuan Family by her grandfather, Butler Fu, because Old Mistress wanted to find a suitable maid to serve Young Master Yuan Xuan.
After staying by Young Master's side for two years, Ah Fu could not help but peep at the Young Mistress whom she had never seen before. Thus, when her grandfather was sent to bring the Young Mistress back, she volunteered to follow him.
Mu Chenyan shivered, and her body shrank into the old cotton jacket. A sneer appeared on her pale little face.
