Chapter 7
But judging from the child's expression, it doesn't seem like he's being coerced by someone. Could it be... is it hard for her to bear it?

"Yuan'er, this food can be eaten indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense. Are you sure you did what happened just now?" The old man's wise light flashed in his eyes, and Li Yuan gave him a slightly apologetic look, then paused for a while. Finally, he said firmly: "Li Yuan is sure, thank you, old man, for giving Li Yuan this opportunity. If there is an afterlife, this servant will definitely repay your favor of rebirth."

After saying that, he kowtowed three times firmly to Ling Wentian, then raised his eyes to look directly at Ling Wuya, neither humble nor overbearing: "Master, how do you deal with it, Li Yuan has no complaints at all."

Ling Wentian snorted, obviously not believing her words, and looked at her coldly with deep eyes: "Then you come and tell the old man, what happened here just now?"

"Poisoned, someone is poisoned."

"Who? Who? What kind of poison was it?"

This question made Li Yuan open her mouth, unable to utter a word.

As expected, Ling Wentian glanced at her indifferently, then looked at the guests present, and said unhurriedly: "To be honest, Li Yuan has been by my side since childhood, what kind of temper is she?" , the old man knows better than anyone else that it has only been three days since this girl came down from the mountain. Without a mother, and it is impossible to have enmity with others, how can you poison the food? I can use my life's honor to assure you that the murderer can never be her!"

"Then why would she admit it so well? Could it be that she was covering up for someone? Even if it wasn't her, she might be someone from your No. [-] estate in the world, right?" A rough-looking middle-aged man frowned He stood up and asked his own question.

"Isn't it? If it's impossible for this girl, there must be someone behind her. Otherwise, why would she take all the responsibilities? This... is completely unreasonable!"

Just when everyone was pointing their fingers at the so-called "instigator" behind her, Li Yuan suddenly raised her head, looked at Ling Wentian, Ling Wuya, and Ling Yun who had been worried about her with an unusually calm expression, and pulled out A grateful but bitter smile: "Master, Master, and Missy, you don't have to speak for Yuan'er. This matter was indeed done by Yuan'er and has nothing to do with others. Don't pursue it any further!"

"You said you won't pursue it if you don't pursue it? Although I don't understand why you have to bear the trumped-up charges, have you ever thought that if you do this, you will let the real murderer go?"

A cold and rigid voice suddenly sounded behind Li Yuan. The voice was so cold that it made people shiver for no reason.

Looking intently, in the backlight, that tall and straight figure was walking towards them...

"Brother? I'm looking for you. Where have you been?"

Lingyun looked at the handsome man who walked in from the backlight. He was about twenty years old, with picturesque eyebrows, handsome like a celestial being, with black hair tied up high, and a white jade hairpin tied on his hair bun, simple and elegant. Unrefined, he was dressed in a plain white robe, which was spotless, making him even more elegant like a lotus.

Lingyun quickly stepped forward and climbed onto his arm: "What did brother mean just now? Don't tell me...do you know who the murderer is?"
