Thinking of this, she saw that there was no one around, so she blushed, half-closed her eyes, pouted her mouth, and waited for him to kiss her.
But this time, Leng Yu raised her hand with a look of surprise and pressed her pouting mouth back, "Little girl, I said I'm hungry, let's go eat, why are you pouting? How about taking you to a restaurant today?"
ah?
It turns out that he was really hungry and didn't want to play kissing?
Luo Lan suddenly felt her face flushed red. Her behavior just now was so embarrassing.
Seeing that she was still stunned, Leng Yu took her hand and walked towards the door while muttering,
"Why is your face so red? Is it hot?"
"Well, this room has good lighting, so I feel a little hot."
She could only reply to him in this awkward way, otherwise it would be extremely embarrassing if he discovered what she had just done.
…
The next day, Shuntian Prefecture.
The court was a bit lively today. In addition to the few people from yesterday, Mrs. Li and her son came again.
Li Tianyang walked around the courtroom with a foolish look, looking around, completely ignoring Yu Shiming who was sitting in the courtroom.
Leng Yu did not come because of something in the army, so only Luo Lan came with A Cai and A Hong.
She didn't want to come in the first place, but she was still very relieved that Lord Yu was handling the case.
But because he was eager to know why Leng Xi was so eager to get involved in this matter, he thought about it again and again and finally came.
Yu Shiming slammed the gavel heavily. Li Tianyang was frightened and trembled. Then he returned to Madam Li with a trembling body, too scared to look at Lord Yu.
"The court is now open. Mother and daughter of the Li family, you woke up so early to come and beat the drum. What grievances have you brought?"
Seeing this, Mrs. Li knelt on her knees, and Li Tianyang also knelt down.
"Sir, my husband, Li Hongfu, has been wrongly accused. These women came to the Li family's house of their own accord and willingly entered the dark room to gather the men in order to exorcise the evil spirit for my son. No one forced them, nor did they intend to send them to foreign countries as slaves. This is a false accusation. My master has not kidnapped anyone. Please understand."
Hearing this, Yu Shiming's brows twisted into a ball. He looked at the seven women and asked sternly:
"Did you hear what Madam Li said? Did you volunteer to come to the Li family, volunteer to be tied up in the dark room, and volunteer to exorcise the evil spirit for Li Tianyang?"
The women huddled together in silence for a while. Finally, Shui Chunhua stood up and said loudly and righteously:
"Your Excellency, Madam Li is right. We all volunteered to exorcise the evil spirit for Young Master Li, and we were also willing to be locked up in the dark room, so there was no such thing as abduction."
Hearing this, Luo Lan couldn't believe her ears. She looked at Shui Chunhua and asked coldly:
"Shui Chunhua, you're talking nonsense. Yesterday, you were locked in a dark room by Li Hongfu, and you said you heard them talking about selling you to foreign countries. But now you deny it outright? Why are you doing this?"
Shui Chunhua raised her eyebrows, stared and smiled softly,
"Yesterday? Yesterday our brains weren't very sharp, and we were talking nonsense. But after a night's sleep, our brains are sharper, and we don't want to tell lies anymore."
Her words made Luo Lan's face turn blue. She looked at the woman named Dani and asked sternly,
"Dani, you speak."
Dani bit her lips tightly and shook her head vigorously, looking very scared.
Seeing her standing there without moving, Shui Chunhua took two quick steps, pulled her out of the crowd, and shouted angrily:
"Just say whatever you want to say. Why are you pretending to be dumb?"
Being pulled in front of the crowd by Shui Chunhua, Dani knew that she had to speak, so she mumbled in a low voice:
"Yes, I married into the Li family of my own free will."
After hearing what Dani said, Luo Lan felt like she was going to explode on the spot.
She looked at the other women again. Without exception, they all shook their heads vigorously and whispered back:
"We also voluntarily married into the Li Mansion and voluntarily entered the dark room."
Luo Lan was a little confused by what these people said. Yu Shiming looked at Shui Chunhua in astonishment and slammed the gavel again, asking,
"Are you guys telling the truth? If someone is coercing you, just tell me and I will take care of it for you."
Shui Chunhua was the first to raise her head and replied arrogantly:
"Every word we say is true, and we would never dare to lie."
Luo Lan was stunned on the spot. Although she knew what went wrong, these women all changed their words overnight and she had no idea what was going on.
In the end, because no one pointed the finger, the case had to be hastily closed.
Yu Shiming ordered Zhou Dasheng to be dismissed from his official position, and Yuan Gang was severely beaten with twenty sticks for spreading rumors that harmed the people. He was ordered not to deceive people again in the future, and Li Hongfu was acquitted.
Luo Lan could not accept this verdict, but he could do nothing about it.
When she walked out of Shuntian Mansion, she looked at those women and suddenly laughed at herself.
"I was so stupid. I wanted to help you, but in the end, I became the biggest joke."
The woman named Dani looked at her timidly and said cautiously:
"Princess, I'm sorry."
The other women followed suit and said:
"Princess, I'm sorry. No matter what, we are very grateful to you."
Ah Cai, who was standing behind them, pointed at them angrily and asked,
"Have you been threatened? If so, just tell us. Don't worry, the princess will take care of it for you."
Hearing this, the women shook their heads in panic, "No, no, Princess, we are going home, goodbye."
After leaving these words, the women bowed and ran away.
Judging from their actions, they didn't dare to talk to Luo Lan for too long, as if they were afraid that if they stayed any longer, they would say something they shouldn't.
Just when Luo Lan was feeling a little depressed, Ah Hong pointed to a place not far away and said angrily:
"Princess, look, Shui Chunhua is following behind Prince Xi. Why do I feel like this matter is related to Prince Xi?"
Luo Lan looked in the direction of Ah Hong's finger, and saw that Shui Chunhua really followed Leng Xi and got on the carriage of Prince Xi's Mansion.
This matter is really weird. She had always suspected that there was something wrong with Shui Chunhua's confession in court. Now it seems that there really is something wrong, and this matter must be related to Leng Xi.
But now that things have come to this, it seems useless for her to argue anymore. Fortunately, those women are all safe, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of her original intention.
Thinking of this, she chuckled and shook her head, and said to Ah Hong:
"Let's go back home."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and got on the carriage...
…
In a carriage going in the opposite direction, Shui Chunhua looked at Leng Xi with a flattering smile, "Prince Xi, do you still take your promise to me seriously?"
