Chapter 516
Lin Siran smiled, and said: "Mom, I know you love me, but... Princess Ningrong is also very good, she is a very good girl, and she is very suitable for him."

Qingxuan asked: "Do you really not regret it?"

"No regrets, this is life." Lin Siran said indifferently.

Qingxuan sighed leisurely, and said: "You are too stubborn, Ranran, sometimes you should be softer, too rigid and easy to break."

Lin Siran lowered her eyes, and then asked: "I don't know how to be softer, I always hope to keep my poor self-esteem and pride."

"I used to know my background. My mother was the original wife, but she was not recognized. I was taken home by my father when I was 15 years old. They kept it secret, but my background was still criticized, saying that I was just a countryman. A village girl like this, I never thought that anything would happen to a nobleman like Lu Jinnian."

"I appreciate him and like him, but I never have the courage to admit it, nor will I expect it."

"But later, I gradually developed extravagant hopes, especially because of my mother, I was made the county head. I thought the distance between me and him had finally narrowed."

"Until I heard what Lu Xiang said in person. He said that it wasn't that he looked down on my background, but that he didn't like the sharp things in me."

"Later, I fought with my life and saved him once, but the Lu family woke me up with ten thousand taels of gold."

"In their eyes, my life can be bought out with yellow and white things. It's so ridiculous that they don't treat me as an equal person."

"My pride and dignity do not allow me to lower my figure to cater to him. I would rather cut off my love than suffer such grievances."

Lin Siran took a deep breath and let it out slowly, his eyes became more determined.

Qingxuan held her hand and tightened it a little.

"Okay, then don't be wronged, forget it, let it be." Qingxuan was also relieved, maybe it was because they had no fate.

"Mother, I want to go to Dali Temple, don't worry, I won't come out, I'll just listen."

Lin Siran begged.

Qingxuan didn't stop her this time, she knew that Lin Siran was in a mess right now and had to find something to divert her attention.

Lin Siran entered Dali Temple, and Zhu Zhen arranged for her to hear the trial at a place separated by a wall.

Lin Qianyu entered Dali Temple, but she was still dishonest.

She spoke so poorly that Zhu Zhen and a group of officials were scolded bloody. It was hard to believe that she was the daughter of an official family from a scholarly family.

Lin Siran frowned upon hearing this.

On the other hand, Zhu Zhen was not in a hurry, Lin Qianyu completely shut up with just one sentence.

"Even if you scold me, sharp teeth don't work here. I have countless ways to get you to confess your crimes honestly. You can save yourself some effort to deal with the next interrogation."

Zhu Zhen didn't speak loudly, but in this dark room with only one small window, this faint, slightly hoarse voice gave people goosebumps for no reason.

"You...you are not allowed to use the death penalty on me. My uncle is your superior. If you dare to mess around, he will definitely not let you go." Lin Qianyu was a little scared, but still wanted to threaten Zhu Zhen in this way .

Zhu Zhen laughed sadly a few times.

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Qianyu asked uneasily.

Zhu Zhen held a few steel needles in his hand, not thick, but very long, and there seemed to be blood on them.

"Your uncle Su Houye is in danger because of you. Do you think His Majesty ordered him to ignore you? He was relieved to learn that he didn't have to come to interrogate you himself. After all, he is his niece. It is understandable not to be cruel, so I hurried home, out of sight and out of mind!"

"What do you mean? My uncle won't leave me alone." Lin Qianyu didn't believe it.

Zhu Zhen clicked his tongue twice, and said: "The way of torture female prisoners in Dali Temple is a bit cruel, but it will not leave any excessive scars, but the pain is not inferior to those tortures that are easily bruised, and even more painful."

"For example, this steel needle is not thick. If you use it to pierce the onion-like finger, you want to pierce it through the nail cap. Uh...it hurts me just thinking about it."

Zhu Zhen grabbed Lin Qianyu's hand and gesticulated twice on her fingers.

Lin Qianyu screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

"Don't...don't touch me, let me go!" Lin Qianyu was terrified.

But Zhu Zhen firmly grabbed her hand, and said: "Miss Lin, I haven't stabbed you yet. I still have a lot of new things here, which you have never heard of or seen. If you insist on talking hard, the next official will come to you in order to make a deal. Anything can be done, either you die, or I die!"

"I didn't, it has nothing to do with me, I didn't set the fire!" Lin Qianyu refused to admit it, "Don't mess around, I am the future Princess Lian, I am the princess, do you know?"

"Princess? Hehe... Do you think that after entering Dali Temple, Prince Lian can still marry you? That old boy is the most cowardly. If I guessed correctly, after the news of your arrest spread, he would be the first to marry you." I'm going to the Lin family to retire."

Zhu Zhen smiled mockingly.

"No, he likes me very much, he will definitely marry me!" Lin Qianyu said, "You let me go, my father, my uncle, and Prince Lian, they will all thank you!"

Zhu Zhen asked: "You are bribing this official, do you know that? In front of so many people, luring this official, do you want this official to make mistakes?"

"No, no, no... I just hope Master Zhu can hold his hand high. After all, I wasn't the one who set the fire, and I was wronged!" Lin Qianyu hastily denied.

Zhu Zhen asked, "How do you explain the fact that your shoes were left outside the morgue?"

"I did come to Dali Temple last night. At that time, I accompanied my cousin to find my uncle, but my uncle was not there, so I left. I stepped on mud at that time. I was afraid that my grandmother would scold me when I went back, so I went to my cousin's house to change. Shoes, how did those shoes stay outside the morgue, I don’t know.”

Lin Qianyu did not lie this time.

She did change her shoes at Su's house.

"What did you go to the morgue for?" Zhu Zhen asked. "The soles of your shoes were stained with some lime from the morgue. You went in, right?"

"No... I haven't gone in, there are dead people there, what should I do?" Lin Qianyu hastily denied.

"How to explain the lime on the sole of the shoe?" Zhu Zhen asked.

"I don't know, maybe I stepped on it somewhere else, how would I know? I really haven't been there, Mr. Zhu, I'm fine, why did I set fire to it?" Lin Qianyu insisted on not letting go.

Zhu Zhendao: "Of course it's because Yan Shichu's body is parked there, and you know that Yan Shichu has a very close relationship with your sister, County Lord Wencheng, and everyone knows about your quarrel with County Lord Wencheng."

"Yan Shichu? Who is that, I don't know." Lin Qianyu simply denied it to the end.

Zhu Zhen played with the steel needle in his hand, and said: "It seems that Miss Lin has fooled me for a fool. Don't you cry when you see the coffin?"

Lin Qianyu suddenly panicked.

"What I said is true, Mr. Zhu, you have to believe me, I really don't know Yan Shichu, and I don't know how he is related to my sister." Lin Qianyu said.
