The concubine doesn't fall in love, but crazy critics insist on holding her responsible

Chapter 45 Just a Child

Xie Ling had already jumped in front of Lin Zhiyu to show off his power. Regardless of Shen's scolding, he pointed at Lin Zhiyu's nose and scolded, "Lin Zhiyu, you poisoned my great-grandmother, you deserve to die!"

Shen held Lin Zhiyu's hand and comforted her not to be afraid. Lin Zhiyu smiled and shook her head, holding Shen's hand instead.

Perhaps mother and son were connected, and in the flash of lightning, an indescribable peace of mind dissipated the anger, and Mrs. Shen was startled.

With such mastery of kung fu, Lin Zhiyu let go of his hand, walked around to Xie Ling, and looked down at him.

"What did I say?"

Although Lin Zhiyu is a little girl who has not yet reached hairpins, she is still half a body taller than Xie Ling, and she is uniquely superior in terms of aura.

"What, what?"

Xie Ling had never seen such a bold Lin Zhiyu. He took half a step back in panic, escaping from the shadow shrouded by Lin Zhiyu.

"Brother Aling, do you know what I asked?"

Lin Zhiyu stared straight at the short fat man in front of her, "Brother Aling, you have to think carefully before speaking. Do you know what happened to the last person who talked nonsense?"

Knowing what Lin Zhiyu was going to say, Mrs. Song pulled Xie Ling to her side and accused: "Zhiyu, why are you scaring a child?"

Lin Zhiyu's expression was innocent, "Second aunt said something serious. Zhiyu didn't get angry or take action. She asked in a gentle voice whether she was trying to scare her or not. She was just asking for justice."

"Since Brother Aling said he heard everything, what's the harm in telling him? Or is Auntie Second worried that Brother Aling is lying? Will he end up like Young Master Zhao?"

Song's breath was choked, and she finally felt the feeling of being speechless in Xie Yiwan's mouth.

"What am I worried about? Aring has been educated by the old lady since he was a child, and he never lies!"

Lin Zhiyu nodded, "That's good. Zhiyu also wants to know what kind of treacherous words he said to his maid on New Year's Eve. Could it be that Zhiyu suffered from some weird illness and forgot all this?"

"Aling, tell Fourth Sister, what did you hear that night?"

Xie Ling originally wanted to make something up, but now he didn't even dare to look Lin Zhiyu in the eye, and his mind went blank, "Mother, mother..."

Mrs. Song protected Xie Ling, "Lin Zhiyu, you are the one who is wrong now!"

"I asked you what I said!"

Lin Zhiyu ignored Song, her voice suddenly rose, and her calm eyes were filled with sharp scrutiny.

"me……"

"Aling, Fourth Sister wants to remind you, you must think carefully before answering. It doesn't matter if it's later or slower, but you can't talk nonsense."

How could Mrs. Song let Lin Zhiyu force her precious son so hard and drag her behind her? Lin Zhiyu seemed to have known what she was going to do and strangled her wrist.

"Is the second aunt trying to stop Zhiyu from exploring the truth?"

"He's just a kid!"

"When my brother was as old as he was, he could already recite military discussions on horseback. Does Second Aunt mean that brother Aling is not as good as my brother? Besides, brother Aling said that he heard it, has Second Aunt forgotten?" Her Ling'er is naturally a thousand times stronger than Lin Shu!
Under the gaze of everyone, Mrs. Song couldn't say a word 'no', so she had to grit her teeth and watch, letting Lin Zhiyu continue to cross-examine.

Lin Zhiyu knelt down in front of Xie Ling with a smile on her face, "Let's continue, Mr. Zhao, who was talking nonsense just now, was beaten to death with a stick. He was right where you were standing. Look, that wet , it was left by the servants using a basin to wash away the blood. You must have heard Mr. Zhao’s scream just now, right?"

Xie Ling trembled. He must have heard it. Although he felt bored at the table at that time and sneaked away to play when no one was prepared. He never saw that scene with his own eyes, but the screams carried far away and he could hear it clearly.

Such a big man, who was so lively when he arrived, was actually interrupted by his anger.

"Come, tell Fourth Sister, what did you hear on New Year's Eve?"

Xie Ling flashed before his eyes the image of himself lying on a bench, unable to move while being beaten. He swallowed, "I, I heard..."

"What did you hear? Why don't Fourth Sister give you some hints?"

"What kind of poison is the fourth sister going to inflict?"

"Where will the poison be placed?"

"When was it administered, and from whom did the poison come?"

On New Year's Eve, Xie Ling did see Lin Zhiyu setting off fireworks with Lan Sheng under the corridor, but it was snowing and cold that night. He felt unlucky when he saw people, so he stared at them from a distance and left. How could he listen? to what they are saying.

Under repeated questioning, Xie Ling's mind was in a mess, and he hesitated: "Well, the night wind was too strong, and I was far away and couldn't hear clearly."

"You said you heard it just now. How did you know that I was talking about my great-grandmother? How did you know that I was saying disrespectful words?"

"You! I just heard it, but it was too long and I can't remember it!"

"Really? Did he forget it, or did it not happen at all? Brother Aling was afraid that he was too drunk after eating rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice that night. He wandered around a lot and blamed the fourth sister for what others did. .”

"I heard it!"

Xie Ling said this to death. If he changed his words and admitted to lying, wouldn't he end up like Zhao Wu? !
Lin Zhiyu will never let him go, he doesn't want to be beaten to death!

"Lin Zhiyu, Ling'er is so young, how could you scare him like this! In front of so many people, he originally remembered being questioned like this by you, and he completely forgot about it when he was nervous!"

"It's clear that you have evil intentions, and now you are trying to pour dirty water on others. Doesn't this world allow people to say a fair word? Do all those who speak up and speak out have ulterior motives?!"

"Second Auntie's words are wrong."

A tall figure came from behind the cold-browed Mrs. Song. It was Lin Zhixing, Lin Zhiyu's younger brother who had been raised by Mr. Shen's side since childhood.

The boy was one year younger than Lin Zhiyu, but much taller than Lin Zhiyu. He was wearing a green shirt and running at a high speed. His thin face was full of defense of his family and anger at the malicious accusation.

He stood next to Lin Zhiyu and joined her on the same front, "If you are not speaking out for justice, do you know how many years my second sister spent on this picture of Crane and Longevity? It is said to be three years, but that was just the time to draw. The initial planning, searching for people, and entrusting relationships can take more than five years. According to you, my second sister was thinking about harming people when she was seven or eight years old?"

"She was just a child at that time, not much older than Aling. How could she have bad intentions?"

"Second aunt keeps saying that my second sister hates my great-grandmother. What does she hate? Has my great-grandmother ever intentionally treated my second sister harshly?"
