Reborn Princess

The case had been tried for three days, but the woman in white seemed to be afraid of nothing. She knelt in front of the hall with her back straight.

Her thin back seemed like it could be broken by a breeze, and she was so thin that it made people feel pity for her.

But she has a kind of tenacity, her waist and back cannot be bent.

Song Yan did not expect that the case of Liu Linzhi would be defended by so many people, and he also did not expect that the woman kneeling in front of the hall would be so resolute.

"I want to sue Liu Linzhi for robbing me and murdering me for money." This was the third day she knelt in front of the hall, and it was also the third time she said this sentence in front of the hall.

"I have nothing else to ask for, just justice!"

No matter how arrogant the people were on the first and second days, there were not many of them left on the third day. They testified for a dead person. They could still argue because they had been rescued by Liu Linzhi, but in the end, they were not sure.

After all, what woman would disregard her reputation to sue a dead person?

She said she just wanted justice.

Just as the people outside the hall were discussing with each other, Song Yan caught a glimpse of a figure.

He frowned and walked out, almost running.

"Why are you here?" Song Yan held Su Wan's wrist, not wanting her to move forward.

Su Wan smiled back and shook her head, "I should fight for myself and get some justice."

Song Yan held her hand tightly to prevent her from moving forward. "Be obedient and go home."

Su Wan looked at the man kneeling on the ground and said, "I admire his bravery."

"You don't have to be like her." Song Yan said in a calm voice.

"But she needs a witness, and that's me." Su Wan looked at Song Yan.

"Go back and don't make me say it again."

Su Wan didn't move. She stared at Song Yan and said, "Ah Yan, just this once, I want to make the decision myself, okay?"

"Not for others, but for myself."

After saying that, Su Wan wanted to pull her hand away, but Song Yan held on to it tightly.

"Wan Wan, please don't put yourself in danger..."

"Ayan, you spent eight years redeeming me from the darkness and letting me see a glimmer of light. Now I am only a little bit away from seeing the sun. Can you let me make the last move by myself?"

Song Yan loosened his grip and said nothing.

Su Wan knew that he understood what she said.

Su Wan's hand broke free from Song Yan's palm and walked forward in a green dress.

Song Yan looked at her back and closed his eyes.

"I also want to sue Liu Linzhi for forcibly abducting me and bullying the weak." Su Wan stood beside the kneeling woman.

The woman looked up and met her gaze, somewhat shocked.

The official sitting at the desk had met Su Wan once. He looked at Song Yan in surprise. Seeing Song Yan staring at him intently, he touched the black hat on his head and was confused for a moment.

"The Dali Temple handles cases impartially. Your Excellency, please try me first." Su Wan said.

The Shaoqing looked at Song Yan again, and seeing that he was still looking at him, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Who are you, what are you suing for, and do you have any evidence?"

"I, Su Wan, a native of Hangzhou, Jiangsu, want to sue the Minister of the Honglu Temple, Liu Linzhi, for forcing me to be his concubine eight years ago, and threatening me with my family members when I refused."

Shaoqing was even more surprised, he thought he had heard it wrong.

"What did you say?" He glanced at the recorder, who was writing down Su Wan's words with a pen. Then he looked up and saw Shao Qing looking at him, and was a little confused for a moment.

Seeing that he didn't believe what she said, Su Wan took out a piece of paper from her sleeve.

"This is the fingerprint that Liu Lin forced me to press. I agreed to enter his backyard, and he released my family."

The person at the side presented the paper to him. Shao Qing frowned after seeing the contents inside. "How can this be possible? He really has no respect for the law. Does he really think he is the king of heaven?"

After he said this, he realized something and looked up at Su Wan in the hall and then at Song Yan, who was standing aside and was not surprised.

With all the evidence, Liu Linzhi was convicted. He breathed a sigh of relief and slammed the table, saying, "With all the evidence, who else wants to defend Liu Linzhi?"

No one spoke and there was silence in the hall.

So he straightened his expression and said, "Honglu Temple Minister Liu Linzhi has no respect for the law, is tyrannical, and has committed crimes, but he still uses the name of an honest official as a cover. This is a disgrace to our Great Qi. Now he is sentenced to death, and his previous official position is removed. No one is allowed to mourn him."

As the verdict was announced, Su Wan's expression moved slightly, and the breeze blew through her hair and gently caressed her face.

The woman kneeling on the ground closed her eyes, curled her lips, and a tear flowed down.

The people outside the hall were talking to each other, and their voices were getting louder.

Song Yan strode up and pulled Su Wan, "Let's go home."

Su Wan looked at Song Yan with a smile in her eyes.

A Yan, I peeled off the darkness with my own hands, and the past... is all over.

The woman kneeling on the ground looked at the two men leaving with some indifference.

……

In the narrow alley behind Guangyuan Street, Fu Zhen, dressed in a purple robe, sat on a chair and observed the scenery in the yard.

The servant brought tea and said, "Miss, have some tea."

Fu Zhen smiled, picked up the tea, smelled it, and said to Feng Tianlin who was sitting at the main seat: "Manager Feng has made a lot of money now, and he drinks such good Longjing tea, but he doesn't go to my Wansang Building to see the sisters."

Feng Tianlin smiled and said, "I have been running around for the past few months. Fortunately you came now. If you came half a month earlier, I would not be in this medicine shop."

Putting down the tea bowl in her hand, Fu Zhen said, "Manager Feng, why don't you ask me why I did this?"

Seeing that Fu Zhen brought it up so directly, Feng Tianlin stopped beating around the bush and asked, "Miss Zhen, do you have any business to do with me?"

Fu Zhen curled her lips and said, "Manager Feng is smart. I..." Before Fu Zhen could finish her words, a servant came in and whispered something in Feng Tianlin's ear.

Feng Tianlin was a little surprised. He said, "Please come in quickly."

Fu Zhen didn't know who Feng Tianlin invited in, but she was unhappy that he interrupted her.

Feng Tianlin continued to say to Fu Zhen: "Miss Zhen, what business do you want to do? Please tell me."

"I won't beat around the bush. Sell me all the herbs in your shop, such as the forsythia, coptis root, and schizonepeta."

When these words came out, Feng Tianlin was worried that no one would take over the batch of medicines piled up in his warehouse. "What does Miss Zhen mean?"

Just as Feng Tianlin finished asking the question, he saw a man in white walking in with two other people behind him.

The moment he stepped through the door, there was only one word that came to his mind - graceful.

Yanci held a folding fan in her hand and wore a jade ring on her thumb. She had all her hair tied up with a golden hairpin, looking very noble.

Fu Zhen was a little surprised when she saw the person coming in. She raised her eyebrows. What was going on?

Yanci came in with a stern face and saw Fu Zhen sitting on a chair and looking at him teasingly. She didn't hold her fan today.

A trace of inquiry flashed across his eyes, and he turned to look at Feng Tianlin, "Manager Feng, I have heard of your great name for a long time, and now I am fortunate to meet you in person."

Feng Tianlin stood up to greet him. "Manager Yan, you are joking. I have heard of Manager Yan's name for a long time. It's a pity that you travel around the world for business all year round, otherwise I would definitely like to meet you."
