Grandpa Yin observed all this quietly, shaking his head inwardly. Although the Yin Family was powerful and influential, the affairs of the inner household were like muddy water, and anyone who was not careful would get dragged into it. He decided to wait and see how things developed, wanting to find out whether Qin Zhizhi was truly innocent or merely putting on an act.

She recalled every detail of her recent whereabouts and everyone she had come into contact with, trying to find any evidence that could clear her name. However, Qin Jiaojiao's plan was airtight. She was like a cunning spider that had long woven an inescapable web, simply waiting for Qin Zhizhi to walk right into it.
