"If I don't take the initiative, you'll blame me. If I take the initiative, you'll still blame me. Then I'll just do nothing and let you say whatever you want."
Ling Qingwan's coquettish look was so adorable that it made Wei Xun very happy.
He picked up Ling Qingwan horizontally, and the fragrance of pear blossoms filled his nose.
"What are you doing!" Ling Qingwan frowned and tried to break free from Wei Xun's arms.
"So many things happened during the day, and you still have to comfort your mother. You must be exhausted. I'll carry you to bed to rest." Wei Xun said gently.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Xun carried Ling Qingwan to the bed and laid her down.
The flickering candlelight made Wei Xun's cheeks even clearer.
Ling Qingwan was staring at him in a trance without realizing it.
"What? Are you impressed by my handsomeness?" Wei Xun smiled, his eyes curved into crescents.
"Who thinks you're handsome?"
Ling Qingwan felt shy and helpless after being hit on the head by Wei Xun, who had exposed her so bluntly. She quickly turned over and didn't look at Wei Xun.
After an unknown amount of time, he felt a warm sensation on his back, and Wei Xun put his arm around Ling Qingwan.
"you… "
Ling Qingwan was surprised.
"I'll take a day off tomorrow." Wei Xun said to Ling Qingwan.
The implication was very clear, Wei Xun was going to sleep here tonight.
Ling Qingwan slowly turned over and her head just rubbed against Wei Xun's chest.
Wei Xun had a light sandalwood scent on him, not strong, and could only be smelled when one got close. Therefore, whenever Ling Qingwan smelled it, she would feel at ease.
Because this means that Wei Xun is by her side.
"I still have some questions about what happened during the day." Ling Qingwan mentioned Hong Guang's surrender during the day.
"You ask." Wei Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and listened quietly to Ling Qingwan.
"Since Hong Guang has decided to kidnap me and has kept it a secret for thirteen years, how can he just surrender himself?" Ling Qingwan raised her eyes and glanced at Wei Xun. "How did you convince him?"
"The reason why Hong Guang kidnapped you and helped Ling Chuchu become the daughter of the Ling family was naturally not for Ling Chuchu. In addition to his own greed for money, there was another most important purpose, which was to pave the way for his son."
When Hong Guang kidnapped Ling Qingwan, he didn't have a son yet, and although he did it for himself, he had a son, and his son was his treasure, more important than himself.
Wei Xun only needs to prescribe the right medicine and use his son as a threat, and he won't be afraid that Hong Guang will refuse to surrender.
"That letter from Zhang Liang..."
“It’s fake.”
Wei Xun knew what Ling Qingwan wanted to ask.
Ling Qingwan is so smart, how could she not think that since none of Zhang Liang's family had ever been to school, how could Zhang Liang be literate and even write a letter so eloquently.
Moreover, the timing of Zhang Liang's parents reporting to the police was too coincidental. One second Hong Guang was executed, and the next second Zhang Liang's parents came to help Zhang Liang redress his grievances.
Since any discerning person can see the flaw, how could Lord Sun, the governor of Jingzhao Yinfu, not notice it
"Aren't you afraid that Lord Sun will recognize that it was you who set the trap?" Ling Qingwan asked Wei Xun curiously.
"The trap I set up is open to the public. I never thought of hiding it from Lord Sun." Wei Xun didn't care.
Lord Sun knew that the letter was fake, but he was willing to use the letter as evidence...
Thinking of this, Ling Qingwan's eyes flickered slightly.
At this time, Jingzhao Yinfu.
Lord Sun was processing files in his study when a servant came to report.
"Sir, I heard from the prison guards that Hong Guang has been clamoring for you to give him justice."
"What kind of justice can we give him?" Lord Sun frowned, showing a look of disgust.
"He said that someone threatened him to surrender himself with his son. He wants you to help find the person who threatened him." The attendant reported truthfully.
"If someone threatens him again, he won't be able to explain why he has done nothing wrong even if he turns himself in." Lord Sun snorted. "Let him make as much trouble as he wants. It will be fine once he's had enough trouble."
After the attendants left, Lord Sun thought about it carefully.
As for what Hong Guang said, that he chose to surrender because someone threatened him, Lord Sun had already seen it clearly in court.
The letter Zhang Liang's parents handed over was full of loopholes. If it were any other time, it would not be used as evidence of a crime. But this time was different.
It was not just because the person who made the letter was someone he could not afford to offend. If he did not acknowledge the letter in broad daylight, Zhang Liang had been dead for many years, and there would be no evidence to prove that Hong Guang had killed Zhang Liang.
Hong Guang has done so many bad things, we can't let him get away with it.
Lord Sun has a good temper, but he is by no means stupid or inflexible.
The next day, An Yi, Gu Zhi and Zhang Shuying went to Ling Mansion together.
Ling Qingwan's yard suddenly became much more lively.
"Wanwan, you..." An Yi said cautiously.
What happened yesterday quickly spread throughout the capital, and they all heard the news. They came to see Ling Qingwan today because they were worried that she was still affected by what happened yesterday.
"I'm fine." Ling Qingwan chuckled.
"I have been secretly investigating the incident of my kidnapping in the past few days, so Hong Guang's surrender this time was actually within my expectations. You don't need to worry about me."
Ling Qingwan was a kind-hearted girl, so how could she not see that several other girls were worried about her
After hearing what she said, everyone felt relieved.
"Fortunately, it was found out, otherwise Ling Chuchu and her uncle and aunt would still be safe and at large." Gu Zhi sighed.
There really are such selfish people in this world.
"I also heard about Ling Chuchu being kicked out of the Ling Mansion!" An Yi was excited and moved her butt closer to Ling Qingwan. "Wanwan, I heard from the people outside that Ling Chuchu was in a very bad state yesterday. After being kicked out, she lay at the gate for a long time before she picked up her bag and left. Is what they said true?"
"It should be true." Ling Qingwan's mouth corners slightly raised.
She only knew that Ling Chuchu was kicked out, but Ling Qingwan had no intention of caring what happened to Ling Chuchu afterwards.
"What a pity, I didn't see it with my own eyes. If I were there, I would have spit on her and kicked her. Humph, she was so arrogant in front of me before."
The little girl's lips are pouted so much that you can hang things on them.
"That's great, Ling Chuchu finally got punished." Zhang Shuying looked relieved.
"What's good about it? I see..."
Before An Yi finished speaking, Gu Zhi tugged at her sleeve.
She suddenly remembered that there was still a grudge between Zhang Shuying and Ling Chuchu.
"Have you thought about your cousin?" Ling Qingwan asked in a gentle tone.
Zhang Shuying nodded.
"My cousin's spirit in heaven should be able to rest in peace now."
"Ling Chuchu took the poem written by your cousin and claimed it was her own, disguising herself as a talented woman. Such behavior is truly that of a mean person." Ling Qingwan snorted disdainfully.
It must be said that she had reasons to hate Ling Chuchu. Ling Chuchu had almost all the characteristics that she hated.
"Shuying, do you want to help clear your brother's name?" Ling Qingwan asked Zhang Shuying.
"Ah? What do you mean?" Zhang Shuying was surprised.
"Announce it to the world, let everyone know that her title of the most talented woman in the capital was stolen, and all her praised works were plagiarized from your cousin."
