This move by Huo Shiqian was indeed very strategic.
If Xia Lianlian was only charged with attempted murder by poisoning—Xia Chuyi wasn't greatly affected, so it would just be considered attempted murder.
Even with strict enforcement over, and even if Huo Shiqian intervened, Xia Lianlian's sentence would still be according to the maximum penalty.
In a few years, Xia Lianlian could be released.
On the contrary, by putting her in a mental health institution… if she can't be treated, she won't be able to get out; it's a lifelong matter.
Moreover, even if Xia Lianlian isn't insane, she could be driven insane while being confined.
Ou Zhenting had no objections to Huo Shiqian's handling of the situation and simply said, "This way is also good; those who make mistakes must be punished!"
"Humph, sparing her life is to pray for my grandson," Ou Zhenting snorted coldly.
It must be said that Ou Zhenting's words were exactly what Huo Shiqian thought.
