After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 161 A key witness
Capital, Changguo Duke's Mansion.

From time to time, servants came in and out of the main courtyard, carrying exquisite gift boxes or carrying large boxes.

The tables, shelves, and floor in the hall were all occupied by boxes or gift boxes, leaving almost no room to set foot.

In the inner room, Lin Wushang was tasting the snacks sent by Sanweizhai.

Sanweizhai is a famous century-old store in Beijing, specializing in making snacks and preserved fruits. The snacks it makes are small and exquisite, and are very popular among ladies.

Of course, the price is not cheap either.

In the small box, there were only four snacks in total, clustered like petals, which cost a full fifty cash, which was not something ordinary people could afford.

Lin Wushang picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. He tasted it and found that it tasted really good. He added "Zhiweizhai Four-Colored Dim Sum" to the list in front of him.

He was writing a list of goodies in the capital for Lin Xi.

Clothes and fabrics, toys, snacks, jewelry, etc., he had tasted them all and only then would he write them down on the list if he thought they were good.

The list in his hand has accumulated to seven or eight pages.

Since entering Beijing, apart from secretly controlling the progress of the "Peony Case", he has been doing just this.

"Your Majesty, the third master is here." Qin Feng came in to report.

Lin Wushang didn't even raise his head: "No."

Lin Laosan was waiting at the door with a food box in his hands, looking in eagerly. Unexpectedly, he thought he was such a loving father.

After learning that his son refused to see him, Lin Laosan's expression darkened visibly to the naked eye, his disappointment showed, and he looked pitiful.

When Qin Feng saw this, he sneered coldly in his heart.

Who are you pretending to do, Third Master!
I have done something sorry for the prince, and I still come to the prince to pretend to be pitiful, which makes the prince's son feel unfilial to his father.

There are so many evil people causing mischief.

Lin Laosan: "Xiaojiu, don't listen to the nonsense of outsiders. You are my biological son. It's too late for your father to love you, so why would he hire a murderer to kill you!"

"You won't believe such nonsense, right?"

There was no movement in the house.

His words seemed to be spoken to a deaf person.

A trace of hatred flashed in Lin Laosan's eyes. The little cub Qin Lingyi gave birth to had exactly the same temperament as hers.

When you are kind to someone, you are really kind to someone, and you are kind to someone with your heart and soul.

But once she decided that that person had done something wrong to her, she would be as indifferent to him as the cold winter.

Fortunately, this little boy is only eight years old now. He has no mother in the first place, so it is impossible that he does not admire and yearn for his father.

As long as he coaxes him well, are you still worried that he won't favor you?

Lin Laosan thought about it and moved himself first.

"Xiaojiu, daddy ordered the kitchen to make your favorite mutton soup. You can have a bowl to warm yourself up."

There was still no response from inside.

Lin Laosan had no choice but to hand the food box to Qin Feng, "Give it to Xiaojiu for me and tell him to eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold."

Qin Feng took the food box and said, "Third Master, go slowly."

"Your Majesty, what should I do with this mutton soup?" Qin Feng carried the food box into the inner room.

Lin Wushang had already seen Lin Laosan's true face in his previous life, but he didn't believe that he would really be kind enough to give him mutton soup.

"take it out."

The mutton soup was still hot and exuded a meaty aroma.

Lin Wushang stared deeply at the bowl of meat soup, and a scene from his past life suddenly flashed before his eyes——

"Xiaojiu, your grandfather is gone and your second uncle is gone too. Dad will take good care of you in the future.

"I heard from my servant that you haven't eaten for two days. How can this be done? Come on, have a sip of broth. Daddy specially asked the kitchen to cook it to replenish your body. Drink it while it's hot."

He drank the bowl of soup, and his body, which he had finally recovered, quickly deteriorated.

After checking again and again, I found Lin Laosan's head.

He hired a murderer to kill him but failed, and even wanted to poison him!Just because the position of heir apparent to the Duke of Guo fell on him.

A plush touch suddenly fell on the back of his hand. When Lin Wushang came back to his senses, he found Putao jumping on the desk, his tail swiping on the back of his hand.

He was leaning close to the bowl of mutton soup and twitching his nose.

Apparently attracted by the smell of broth.

Lin Wushang was startled, grabbed the grapes, and said with lingering fear: "Take them and pour them."

Qin Feng: "Yes."

When he was about to go out, Lin Wushang said again: "Forget it, it's a pity that it's a waste. I'll find a way to deliver it to the third master and let him eat it. After all, he specifically asked the kitchen to make this."

Qin Feng listened and felt that there seemed to be some deep meaning behind the prince's words.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this soup?"

Lin Wushang stroked Putao's back and fed him raw beef strips. Hearing this, he said "Hmm" and said, "It's probably poisoned."

Qin Feng was shocked. He looked at the food box in his hand again, anger bursting out of his eyes.

"Third Master failed to kill you once, but he wants to do it a second time! Is there such a father in the world? I'm really angry to death!"

Looking at the prince sitting there feeding the cat, at such a young age, he was forced to be precocious and sensible, and yet he was able to remain calm and calm when faced with such things.

He felt more and more sorry for his eldest son.

"Don't worry, I'll deliver the soup to his dining table right now, and let him suffer the consequences, hum!"

He went away in high spirits.

Lin Wushang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

The grape in his arms suddenly jumped out and threw himself on the window sill, making a "meow" sound.

Grapes seldom calls, this is——

Lin Wushang turned to look at the window sill, and sure enough, Xiaobai flew down not long after.

The cat and the pigeon greeted each other friendly and rubbed each other.

Lin Wushang fed Xiaobai and took out the letter.

Compared with the letters he wrote, Lin Xi's letters were always short. He glanced at them and read them.

However, the content of the letter was so puzzling that he read it from beginning to end twice.

Still confused.

Cheng Haoran was clearly dead, so why did Lin Xi say that Cheng Haoran would go to Beijing to plead guilty?
Lin Wushang immediately wrote to inquire.

Poor Xiaobai, he had to hit the road again just after delivering the letter before he could rest for a while.

The next night, Lin Wushang received a reply from Lin Xi——

"It's a long story. I'm too lazy to write so many words. You'll know when the time comes."

Lin Wushang: "..."

Three days later, Cheng Haoran entered Beijing.

The next day happens to be Wangri (the [-]th day), the day of another great court meeting.

Just like half a month ago, officials of rank nine and above gathered in Tai Chi Hall.

This day is also the deadline for the Mudan case. If Zhang San cannot provide valid evidence, then he will be charged with falsely accusing Cheng Haoran.

Mr. Cheng, the old god is here, and he has the winning chance.

The officials of the aristocratic family faction were also calm and relaxed, feeling that there was no suspense about the outcome of today's trial.

The emperor above had a deep and unpredictable look on his face, "Zhang San, what else do you have to say?"

Zhang San: "Your Majesty, the common people have found a key witness who is waiting outside the palace gate. As soon as he appears, the case will be revealed and the truth will be revealed."

Emperor: "Proclaim the witness."
