The first daughter is not bad, the prince does not love

Chapter 102 The Sophist
"Yes!" Lin Siran stood obediently beside Mrs. Lin again and remained silent.

Patriarch Lin looked at Lin Xiaoqian, and asked, "Did you say something!"

"Old patriarch, I don't know what to say. When something like this happened at home, my mind is in a mess. I can't choose what to say. Where can I have any ideas? But I don't believe my wife. Will murder my own daughter." Lin Xiaoqian was not confused at all, just insisted on this point, then the theory of arson would be self-defeating.

"The patriarch doesn't know that what happened back then was not my wife's idea. It was because the Su family was so powerful that they couldn't tolerate the daughter of my first-line relative to be a child to me. She ran to Linjiazhuang without telling my wife and me. The Qin family is also a fierce It's not Yanniang's fault that a woman can't think about suicide for a while. If you want to blame, you can only blame me. She shouldn't be in love with Yanniang and hide the fact that she already has a wife at home. She is innocent !"

After hearing Lin Xiaoqian's words, Lin Siran almost thought that the Yanniang of the Su family he knew was not the one Lin Xiaoqian said at all. Could it be that she and Lin Xiaoqian saw the same person?

I don't know if Lin Xiaoqian is really confused or pretending to be confused.

"As an outsider, I have no right to ask about the matter back then. You also married the Su family after the death of the Qin family. There is nothing wrong with that. Now I only ask this matter, how should I solve it?" The Lin clan leader is old and mature, and he is unwilling to listen to Lin Xiaoqian Going around in circles, they only insisted on arson and refused to let it go.

Lin Xiaoqian refused to face up to this problem, but continued: "Old patriarch, I just want to say that Yanniang is definitely not the kind of cruel woman. She has always been very good to Ranran and treats her as her own, so how could she set fire to her?" What about her?"

"Treat yourself as your own? I heard that it hasn't been a year since the eldest girl took you back to your house, right? She has been raised by Mr. Yan's private school for more than ten years. It's no secret that we old people But I've heard it all!"

Lin Laosan and Yan Yunchang still know each other. Although he has never met Lin Siran, he has heard about this matter for a long time.

Patriarch Lin looked at Lin Xiaoqian, waiting for his explanation.

"Sending Ranran to Yan's house wasn't Yanniang's idea, it was mine... I found a gentleman who could pinch and count. He said that my fate and Ranran's fate were in conflict. If I kept him by my side I'm afraid my daughter won't be able to grow up, so I have to wait until she is an adult to bring her back, so that the father and daughter can be safe. I entrusted Ranran to a classmate and friend. Although I haven't raised Ranran myself these years, I have quietly Send money and food to the Yan family."

Lin Xiaoqian felt that it was justifiable for him to send Lin Siran away.

But these words can only deceive myself, even if the fates of father and daughter are at odds, they can give their daughter to Mrs. Lin to raise her. Mrs. Lin was taken to the capital by Lin Xiaoqian a few years ago to take care of her, and she has been alone Staying in Linjiazhuang, is it possible that Mrs. Lin and Lin Siran's fates are also in conflict?

Patriarch Lin just didn't make it clear, he just looked at Lin Sianran as a pitiful girl, and didn't want to pierce the paper on the window.

"Then how do you explain that Lin Hai's mother was poisoned? How do you explain what she said before she died?" Patriarch Lin asked.

Lin Xiaoqian sighed, and said: "I really can't explain it clearly, but the old patriarch must also know that since Lin Xiaoqian made my fortune, some fellow villagers wanted to join me and asked me to arrange an errand for me, but I am an official in the court. , eat the emperor's food, the so-called food king's salary is for the king to share the worries, how can he abuse it with some power in his hands? He rejected many people's requests, and I am afraid that he offended many clansmen because of it. Hey... wood If it is better than the forest, the wind will destroy it!"

Lin Xiaoqian actually blamed the death of the sorceress on the fact that someone was jealous of his achievements and wanted to frame him.

Lin Siran even applauded Lin Xiaoqian secretly, he is indeed a veteran who has been an official in the court for many years, and his sophistry skills are really admirable.

Lin Biran looked at Patriarch Lin's unpredictable expression, and was worried for the old patriarch. How could he argue against Lin Xiaoqian?
"Old patriarch, Xiaoqian still said the same thing. The Lin family must be responsible for the flooding of the shrine. I am willing to bear the loss and contribute money and efforts to rebuild the shrine. However, Xiaoqian can't bear the trumped-up charges. what!"

A flash of complacency flashed in Lin Xiaoqian's eyes, he was not someone who would give in so easily, if he was easily refuted, wouldn't the political opponents in the court have already stripped him of his skin?
Patriarch Lin snorted coldly, smiled instead of anger, and said: "It seems that the old man really underestimated you, Xiaoqian, you have really improved a lot these years."

"The old patriarch's praise, Xiaoqian is still the Xiaoqian you saw growing up when you were young. If there is any improvement, it is the elders' praise." Lin Xiaoqian bowed his hands, pretending to be humble, but it made a group of old men very angry.

Mrs. Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the charges are not convicted, the reputation of the Lin family will be preserved.

The gossip will pass sooner or later. After the Lin family has improved to a higher level, who will bring up the old things again?
Just like Qin's death back then, there was a lot of ups and downs, Lin Xiaoqian and her spine were almost broken, but what about now?Lin Jiarong returned to his hometown, who else would mention Qin's death?
Just when the old patriarch couldn't help Lin Xiaoqian, Lin Hai suddenly ran in from outside.

Lin Xiaoqian panicked for a moment, and quickly stood up from the chair, as if he was about to run at any time.

The corner of Lin Ruran's mouth twitched into a sneer, no matter how skillful his mouth was, he was afraid that his fists would be hard and desperate.

I hope Lin Hai will not disappoint her this time.

"Lin Xiaoqian, pay for my mother's life!" Lin Hai stared angrily, his eyes were red, as if he wanted to eat people.

"Lin Hai, calm down, your mother's death, we are all surprised and very sad, but you can't spit out blood, why did I hurt her life?" Lin Xiaoqian was a little panicked, but still tried his best to maintain his official airs.

Lin Hai gritted his teeth, and said: "Someone saw...someone saw your servant wandering outside my house before dawn today. My mother's leftover noodles were poisoned last night. It must be someone from your family who killed her." If my mother dies, it's not you but also your daughter-in-law, you pay back my mother's life!"

Lin Hai rushed over and grabbed Lin Xiaoqian by the collar.

Everyone hurried up to stop him.

Lin Siran also persuaded: "Don't hold on to my father. If someone poisons you, you can show evidence. There is no evidence and no evidence. It's not good to pollute people's innocence. How can this be a matter of human life? Red mouth and white teeth, what nonsense?"

Lin Hai turned to look at Lin Siran, with a look of urgency, and cursed: "You foolish girl, you pretend to be a thief as your mother, and you still help them. Your mother was killed by them, you are Have you lost your mind?"

"I don't understand what you mean, but you said that your mother was killed by my family, and you have to produce evidence. If there is no evidence, even if you report it to the yamen, you will not respond." Lin Si Ran hid behind Mrs. Lin, as if she was afraid of Lin Hai.

Lin Hai's elm-headed head suddenly seemed to be awakened by someone, and he shouted: "Okay, then I will go to the Yamen to file a complaint. Isn’t it true that no one dares to take care of you? Then I think the emperor can take care of you!”

With that said, Lin Hai was about to leave.
