Actually, Ning Xueluo was just guilty of hiding drugs. Because the drugs were not hers, she could not be charged with illegal possession of drugs. If she got herself a decent lawyer, she could avoid the death penalty.
However, the issue was that there were people who wanted her to die.
Although Su Yan and Ning Xueluo had not gotten a divorce yet, Zheng Minjun quickly arranged a blind date for Su Yan the moment Ning Xueluo was sent to prison.
Su Yan's situation with Ning Xueluo was well known within their circle, so it was nearly impossible for the Su family to find another rather prestigious family to connect with.
Unexpectedly, Su Yan had fortune on his side. The lady of the Liang family from Shanghai fell in love with Su Yan at first sight, and said that she would only marry him if Ning Xueluo got out of the picture. Because the Liang family had relations with the courts, they sentenced Ning Xueluo to death, and also stopped the evidence of the Sus' bribing from surfacing.
