Chapter 195

Lin Siran's face was tense, and he unconsciously felt a bit chilly, and asked, "Major Qi saw it with his own eyes? Or is there any real evidence to prove that I stole something?"

Qi Ke was frightened by Lin Ruran's expression, and hid beside Princess Shushen, saying: "I just heard that, you are so nervous, do you have a guilty conscience?"

"Guilt of being a thief? You have no evidence, and you dare to slander my personality with hearsay. You know, whoever talks nonsense and slanders others will go to hell if they die!" Invisibly, he was overwhelmed by her ruthlessness.

Qi Ke's face turned pale, and said, "You... why are you so vicious?"

Princess Shushen immediately spoke to help Qi Ke, saying: "Lin Siran, what are you? Qi Ke is the imperial princess after all. You are white and dare to disrespect her. What do you want to do?"

"Can superiors unscrupulously slander others? Then what's the use of national law? Even the government must pay attention to conclusive evidence to convict a person. Could it be that the county magistrate can convict a person with a single word?" Lin Siran asked.

Princess Shushen couldn't think of a rebuttal for a moment, how could she compare to Lin Siran's eloquence.

But Princess Shushen was not reconciled, and said angrily: "Everyone in the world is surnamed Li, and the national law is also the national law of the Li family. Can you speak to me?"

"What we are discussing now is not the law of the country, but County Lord Qi claims that I am a habitual thief and smears my reputation. Reputation is more important to me than life. The so-called scholar can be killed but not humiliated. If County Lord Qi does not apologize today and admits that he is Talk nonsense, I will never give up!"

"Yo, you have such a big tone, you don't apologize, what can you do?" Princess Shushen is confident, anyway, Lin Sizan is just a lady of Shangshufu, and they are all royal relatives and relatives, and they cannot be compared at all. .

Even if Lin Siran jumped around again, he couldn't help himself.

Seeing that the topic had been dragged away in the evening, Wu Chengwan hurriedly said: "Princess Shushen, the problem now is that the books in the Cangshu Pavilion have been burned, and we can't afford this responsibility. His Royal Highness is responsible for editing the Jiajing Grand Ceremony. Those who came to the Library Pavilion to pick up books, what should we do about this matter?"

"Let her make compensation, and then hand her over to His Highness the Crown Prince." Princess Shushen said lightly.

The sixth princess was annoyed: "Sister Lin didn't set the fire, why should she pay for it?"

"Liu'er, you were deceived by her. She is not very good. I think you should tell His Majesty not to use this companion to read, or you will be implicated by her sooner or later." Princess Shushen persuaded.

"I don't listen to you, Sister Lin is a good person!" The sixth princess pulled Lin Bian, as if she was afraid that she would be bullied.

Lin Siran was very moved. The sixth princess treated her sincerely. She didn't want her to be excluded and bullied because of herself.

"Princess, with your words, I am satisfied. Don't worry, those who are clear will be cleared by themselves, and no one can slander me." Lin Siran's voice was neither high nor low, but it was clearly audible.

Princess Shushen said: "You were the only one who came to the library, and you didn't see anyone else. When the fire broke out, you were the only one inside. You didn't bring the fire in, who else could it be? No matter how you think about it , you can't escape the relationship, and you still try to pretend to be a good person, Mr. Wu, don't be deceived by her!"

Wu Chengwan didn't know who to listen to for a moment.

Just when he was in trouble, Lu Jinnian came and asked, "I heard that the Zangshu Pavilion caught fire, Mr. Wu, did you lose much?"

"At least half of the books on that row of bookshelves have been destroyed, hey..." Wu Chengwan was on the verge of crying. He is the director of the courtyard, in charge of the library, and he is destined to take responsibility for this matter.

Princess Shushen said without hesitation: "Mr. Lu, when Mr. Wu came, he found Lin Siran inside. She probably caused the fire."

Lu Jinnian frowned, and asked, "Why did Miss Lin set fire to the Library Pavilion? Does the princess have evidence to prove that she set the fire?"

"What more evidence do you need? She was the only one who was there when the accident happened, who else is there?" Princess Shushen asked confidently, "Mr. Lu, I heard from her sister that Ms. Lin likes to collect books, especially precious ancient books. , she may have moved her mind that shouldn't be moved, and she was careful not to be discovered, so she deliberately lit the fire and pretended to fight the fire to get away with it!"

Princess Shushen is very good at fabricating crimes.

Lin Siran finally understood the deep meaning of the sentence "If you want to inflict a crime, there is no excuse for it".

The sixth princess was indignant and said, "Aunt Shushen, why do you have to slander Sister Lin? If she likes these books, I'll just ask Father to reward her with a few copies. Why would she steal them?"

Princess Shushen snorted, and said: "Some of the orphans are worth a fortune, how can your Majesty just give them away? Besides, she is not a special person, she is just a girl from a poor family, and she is just your servant."

"She's not a slave, she's my companion!" the sixth princess said angrily.

"A companion is a slave, isn't it, Qianyu?" Princess Shushen turned to ask Lin Qianyu.

Lin Qianyu blushed, she naturally understood that Princess Shushen wanted to humiliate herself, she was naturally angry in her heart, but she dared not speak out, if Princess Shushen did not agree to her as a companion, she would never have a bright future. People under the eaves had to bow their heads.

Lin Qianyu, who was so proud and arrogant, still wanted to beg for mercy from Princess Shushen.

"Yes, in front of the princess and princess, we are all slaves." Lin Qianyu suppressed her humiliation.

Lin Sizan looked at him coldly, and said: "We have never sold ourselves as slaves. How can we be slaves if we become an official? Only those who are slaves are slaves. Doesn't the princess even have this bit of common sense?"

Princess Shushen was ridiculed for having no common sense, how could she bear it, regardless of the occasion, she went up and slapped Lin Siran, saying: "Baby maid, I have tolerated you for a long time, relying on people's power, thinking that the sixth princess will back you up, this princess will do it for you." Don't you dare to do anything to you? Today I will tell you what is the difference between superiority and inferiority. I am the princess and you are a slave. If I crush you to death, it will be as easy as crushing an ant, understand?"

Everyone was stunned, everyone held their breath, they didn't expect Princess Shushen to be so mad regardless of the occasion.Even if she is the princess, she is extremely out of control.

Even Li Fu, the princess of Ningrong who had always been criticized for being arrogant, dared not humiliate an official daughter like this in public, which was a taboo.

Lin Siran rubbed her hot cheeks, facing the eyes of the audience, straightened her back.

The sixth princess wanted to cry, but she didn't know what to do. After all, she was only an eight-year-old child.

Lu Jinnian's eyes were full of distress, but the other party was the princess. Even if he wanted to help Lin Sizan, he didn't know where to start. What's more... on this occasion, he couldn't do anything. He could only suppress his anger, clenched his fists, and thought It means that if he was stronger and brought Lin Sili back home, she wouldn't be humiliated like this.

For the first time, Lin Sizan realized that if you have no power, you are not worthy of even the most basic dignity.

Princess Shushen is right. As the princess, even if she is humiliated in public, she has no strength to resist, because she is only Lin Shangshu's daughter, not to mention... she is the one who is not favored by the Lin family. Can help her get ahead.

Power means dignity and freedom, and it means that you don't have to swallow your anger at such a time.

Lin Siran's eyes were cold, and the anger in his heart could be imagined.

Princess Shushen looked at Lin Siran with contemptuous eyes, with a smug smile on her face, the angrier Lin Siran became, the more powerless she seemed.

At this moment, Li Xingxu was invited over.
