The princess is poisonous: the prince surrenders quickly

Chapter 3 Defense in court

A gleam flashed in her eyes, did she set fire to the ancestral hall?It was because of this incident that her life was ruined. This time, she will never bear the humiliation and let no one bully her.

A group of people walked through the courtyards and arrived at the Ling family hall.

As soon as you enter the hall, you will see rows of ancestors. Under the rows, there is a table for worship. There are three boxes on the table. It is very simple, and it should be some years old.

Ling Yuqian knew that those were the three great methods of the Ling family, the whip, the iron rod, the white silk,

Then there was the grandfather who had been sitting on the main seat for many years and ignored the family affairs. His face was ashen at the moment. When he saw her coming in, he frowned slightly, but gave her a hard look.Further down, once sitting father, uncle and wives, all looked at her with angry eyes, as if they could spew fire in the next moment.

At the end sat the female relatives, and the son and daughter of the family.Mrs. Liu and her party came in and sat down in the corresponding seats.

Ling Yuqian glanced around calmly, her eyes sinking slightly.The Ling family has a huge branch, many uncles and uncles have opened houses outside, and some are famous generals in the court, but I didn't expect that all of them who could come today came here.

Seeing some people gloating and watching the show, some were full of anger, some were full of sympathy, and some had unknown meanings, she looked away and heard someone roaring.

"Ling Yuqian, how dare you not kneel in front of your ancestor's family law!"

Hearing this, Ling Yuqian took a look at the person who made the sound. The person had a face in his early forties, with sharp edges and corners, and a dark complexion. It could be seen that he was exposed to the wind and sun all year round.With a strong figure and a suit of armor, it is her uncle named Ling Mingyang, who has now established his own family and ranks as a general.

She frowned. If she knelt, it would be tantamount to admitting her mistake. If she didn't kneel... In front of the family law of her ancestors, she was really rude, and these people really know how to make trouble.

After thinking about it, she still knelt down and kowtowed, "Ling Yuqian, a descendant of the Ling family, bow down to the ancestors."

After a ceremony, she wanted to get up, but she saw Mrs. Liu waved her hand, and immediately two women held her down, one on the left and the other on the right, making her unable to move.

"Second Aunt, what does this mean?"

Ling Yuqian struggled twice to no avail, and looked at Mrs. Liu with eyes like autumn water.

"I just want you to repent of your mistakes in front of your ancestors' family law!"

Ling Yu smiled slightly, "I made a mistake, but my father has said that it's nothing more than a small punishment and a big punishment! You go to ask the ancestors' family law, such a big fight, is it too much?"

"Ling Yuqian!"

Ling Yuqian only mentioned that she was at fault, but completely denied what happened later, Ling Mingyang jumped up, his eyes were full of anger.

"Ling Yuqian, don't make excuses!"

"First you contradicted your mother and punished you to go to the ancestral hall to copy the scriptures and think about your mistakes. If you don't copy the scriptures well, it's fine! You even set fire to the ancestral hall! Then you fled in fear of crime. You are simply a dandy and lawless!"

"Now in front of the ancestor's family law, don't you still admit your mistakes?"

"That's right, Yuqian, the people enshrined in the ancestral hall are all the heroes of our Ling family who fought in the battlefield for generations! Do you know how much your behavior will affect our family?" Mrs. Liu added in a timely manner. fire.

"Yuqian, you are the only one in the ancestral hall, and you have to account for such a thing. Now in front of the family law, if it is really you, you should admit it quickly. Grandpa and uncle read it because you are young and ignorant. I will deal with it lightly."

Ling Shui'er persuaded her gently, but Ling Yuqian's heart sank, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"Sister, where is this? How can I admit what I didn't do?"

As she said that, she bowed to her grandpa, neither humble nor overbearing, "Grandpa, no matter how naughty Yuqian is, she still knows how to behave. How could she do such a rebellious thing? Take ten thousand steps back, even if Yuqian doesn't like the ancestral hall anymore, And I won’t take my own life as a joke.”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was a little moved when they saw her in a mess.Such a big fire is indeed like self-immolation.

"Aren't you standing here properly? Maybe you have arranged for someone to save you long ago, and that's why you acted grandly?"

A young gentleman sitting at the end spoke leisurely.Ling Yuqian looked up and saw that it was Ling Yaohua, Mrs. Liu's son.

"What does the third brother mean by this? Could it be that he wants me to die in the fire? Or does the third brother have any evidence to prove that I set the fire?" Ling Yuqian asked coldly.

"Everyone also knows that the fire in the ancestral hall was sudden and fierce. The three-storey building was burned down in half an hour. How can I do it by myself?"

Speaking of which, Ling Yuqian raised her hand, raised her sleeves, and brought her burnt arm to the eyes of everyone.Her arms, which were originally smooth as jade, are now burnt yellow, which looks shocking.

"You only care about the loss of the Sutra Library, but does anyone remember that I was in it, and I was suddenly on the verge of life and death?"

Speaking of which, she suddenly thought of something, laughed at herself and lowered her head.

"That's right. From your point of view, I'm just a useless person that everyone can bully. I can be blamed for any crime. Death is not a pity."

Her rhetoric, coupled with her head slightly lowered, her long eyelashes stained with tears, she looked like an abandoned child, extremely wronged, and with strong unwillingness, made everyone at a loss as to how to continue.

"ah!"

At this moment, Ling Shui'er exclaimed, stepped forward and pulled Ling Yuqian's arm, Ruyu's hand was placed on her wound.

"Yuqian, why didn't you say it earlier? Does it hurt? A girl will leave scars if she is injured like this!"

"Grandpa, I'm afraid we really made a mistake. Although Yuqian is a bit naughty, even if she doesn't want to stay in the ancestral hall to copy scriptures, she will definitely not do such a disproportionate thing."

Ling Shui'er begged for mercy, her pretty face was full of distress, but she felt wrong no matter what she said.

Ling Yuqian narrowed her eyebrows, and calmly broke away from her hand.At this moment, seeing Ling Shui'er's distressed face, she just felt disgusted.

Ling Yuqian kowtowed to the ground, and said aggrievedly, "Grandpa... Yuqian is also a victim, please grandpa to investigate clearly."

Ling Shui'er, who was rejected by Ling Yuqian, frowned, took a look at Ling Yuqian, and always felt that this girl was different. If it was Ling Yuqian from before, she would have been too scared to speak, why? Maybe it was such a clever excuse, she also knelt down after thinking about it.

"Grandpa, please pay attention."

At this time Ling Zhengnan's close guard came in and whispered something in his ear, the old man's white brows were tightly frowned.

"The green tea has been checked, and there is no trace at the scene. It is really not like Yuqian can get it out."

Old General Ling felt distressed when Ling Yuqian showed his arm, and he felt even more guilty when he got such news, and said softly, "Yuqian, get up and answer."

After speaking, he glared at his sons again. "A group of confused things!"

Ling Mingyang blushed, but he still asked unwillingly, "It's not you, but the servant came to report. When they went in last night, they saw a man in black passing by. How do you explain it?"

Ling Yuqian looked at Ling Mingyang suspiciously, her eyes became even redder.

"Yesterday, the fire broke out. When I was in danger, the guards left by my mother rescued me desperately and placed me in a safe place."

As soon as this sentence came out, it explained the identity of the man in black.In Madam Liu's eyes, however, hatred appeared.

It's really a mistake for Yuxi not to stop after death, but to leave a hidden guard for Ling Yuqian.

"But speaking of this, I really want to ask Second Aunt, the ancestral hall is an important place for the family, and there should be someone guarding it, but when the fire started, where were the guards? Why did no one come when I shouted desperately?"

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the hall, obviously no one had thought of this question, and they all looked at Mrs. Liu at this moment.

Hearing this, Mr. Ling's complexion was as cold as ice, and he looked at Mrs. Liu sharply with his old eyes.He can ignore the affairs of the inner courtyard of the Ling family, but if someone colludes with outsiders, he will not let him off lightly.

"How do you explain that?"
