Chapter 261 Ling Huanan: My Little Padded Jacket is Leaky
This case should have ended here, but upon closer investigation, it uncovered two other long-standing unsolved murder cases, and Huai Mu was one of the perpetrators of these two cases.
In order to obtain money, he and the deceased adulterous woman secretly arranged for Huai Mu to seduce a wealthy man's wife in a small town. However, the wealthy man's wife was old and died of a stroke during intercourse...
Huai Mu and the adulterous woman were terrified, so they hurriedly took the rich man's wife's belongings and moved to another town. However, not long after, they were struggling to make ends meet again and had no choice but to return to their old ways.
This time, however, their affair was discovered, and his adulterous wife accidentally killed someone...
Finally, the two went to the county. Huai Mu's eyes inadvertently attracted Gu Qing's attention, which led to what happened next!
With the matter clear, Lin Shu stood up and gave her seat to Gu Qing, leaving the decision to her:
"Zhang San and Li Si, acting under orders, first attempted arson and murder but failed. They then pursued and killed two people and injured one. They are sentenced to immediate execution and will be carried out in the autumn."
Huai Mu was convicted of manslaughter, intentional homicide, and fraud... He was sentenced to immediate execution and the extermination of his entire family.
Su Jing, who instigated murder, is considered a principal offender and is sentenced to...sentenced...
Gu Qing sat on the high platform, looking at Su Jing below with a complex and struggling gaze, as if she could not bear to utter the verdict no matter what.
Lin Shu and the others watched coldly.
Finally, Gu Qing turned her face away, her expression filled with grief, and said, "Su Jing, sentence him to immediate execution!"
After saying this, Su Jing collapsed to the ground, staring at Gu Qing in disbelief. It wasn't until the constables were about to take them away that he reacted, quickly crawling towards Lin Shu's feet, shouting:
"Brother and sister-in-law, please save me! For my sake, please save me!"
Gu Qing also looked at Lin Shu, her expression unreadable.
"Can't be saved." Lin Shu uttered three words coldly, then glanced sharply at the constables, signaling them to take the person away.
As they were gradually dragged away, they could still hear Su Jing shouting that Gu Qing was heartless, and saying something about a prefect... They didn't hear clearly, but they didn't take it to heart.
"Now that this matter is settled, we will not stay any longer. Lord Gu, rest assured, I will report the truth of our trip to An County." After saying this, Lin Shu walked out.
When Gu Qing heard the truthful report, she knew that her official career would not be smooth sailing. She was already in a precarious situation at home, so how could anyone entrust her with important responsibilities?
So she gave a wry smile, and just as Lin Shu was about to step out of the county government office, she called out to her for no apparent reason: "Wait."
Lin Shu turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Gu Qing first glanced at Xu Jingyun, who was very close to Lin Shu, then hesitated for a moment before asking awkwardly, "Is he... alright?"
Lin Shu narrowed her eyes, her gaze dangerously fixed on Gu Qing, making one's heart tremble. She then said coldly, "Whether it's good or bad, what does it have to do with you? Lord Gu should mind his own business first!"
"I……"
"One last piece of advice: being too indecisive will likely prevent you from achieving great things." Gu Qing was about to say more when Lin Shu interrupted him without any politeness.
After saying that, Lin Shu led Xu Jingyun and the others away without looking back.
Gu Qing stared at Lin Shu's retreating figure, her lips trembling, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
The five men rode at full speed and finally arrived in Mengzhou Prefecture at the end of the 5-7 PM that night!
Xu Jingyun went directly back to Prefect Xu, while Lin Shu and the others went to the post station where Ling Huanan was staying.
Mengzhou Prefecture Post Station.
Xue Wen was leaning affectionately against Zhu Yu's leg, his eyes red and swollen, babbling like a child about the things that had happened over the years. The two had been talking for a day and a night and still hadn't had enough.
Ling Huanan, on the other hand, was unfortunate enough to be left alone in her empty room, holding her several-month-old son, Ling Yi.
Looking at her well-behaved and adorable son sleeping soundly in her arms, Ling Huanan's heart softened.
"Clatter clatter clatter..." The sound of horses' hooves came, followed by footsteps outside the door.
The person seemed to see that the candlelight in the room was still burning and was about to come over to say hello.
"Knock knock knock..."
When the knocking sounded, Ling Huanan's first reaction was not to open the door, but to nervously look into her arms. She saw the baby in her arms move its mouth a couple of times and its eyelids twitch, and she knew something was wrong.
Whether it's because of her strong aura or some other reason, this brat cries incessantly whenever she holds him while he's awake.
Sure enough, the baby opened its eyes the next moment, stared at Ling Huanan for a couple of seconds, then suddenly its mouth twitched and it burst into a wail: "Wah... Waaah... Waaah..."
The sound was so pitiful, as if the victim had been bullied by Ling Huanan.
Lin Shu waited and waited outside the door, but received no response. She was about to go back to her room and come to see her father again early the next morning when she was interrupted by a deafening cry from inside the room.
Immediately afterwards, the door opened with a 'whoosh,' and Ling Huanan glared at Lin Shu with displeasure, then forcefully handed the child to Lin Shu with a dark face: "You made him cry, so soothe him yourself."
Lin Shu (still holding the child): "..."
"Waaah... Waaah..." Ling Yi waved his little hands, his mouth was wide open, his eyes were tightly closed, and his little face was flushed from crying.
Hearing the child crying, Xue Wen and Zhu Yu came out of the nearby house together. Seeing this, Zhu Yu teased Xue Wen, saying:
“This little Yi’er is just like you were back then. He opens his mouth really wide when he cries. We were wondering how big his mouth would be when he grows up…”
Xue Wen smiled shyly, then saw Lin Shu and hurriedly went over, raising his hand to greet her warmly: "Shu'er is back, come quickly and let your father see her..."
Ling Huanan stopped Xue Wen's hand halfway and said with a serious expression, "Wen, she made Yi'er cry. Let her comfort her first."
Lin Shu looked at her 'scheming mother', then looked down at her younger brother in her arms, patting the blanket lightly with her hand.
"Waaah...woo...ee-ya...ya..." Gradually, Lingyi's crying subsided, his eyes slowly opened, and the crying stopped, turning into the babbling of a child.
A pair of large, dark, grape-like eyes blinked at Lin Shu, while drooling happily and occasionally revealing her pink gums...
"It seems my little brother really likes our Shu'er!" Xue Wen looked at the siblings, who were eighteen years apart, with a smile in his eyes.
Looking at her adorable little brother, Lin Shu couldn't help but think of her own child, and her eyes softened even more.
Ling Huanan's face darkened further. He looked at Lin Shu's face, which resembled his own, and, disbelieving, reached out to Lin Shu: "Give me my son."
Lin Shu was reluctant to give it to him, but before she could say anything, the little one in her arms pouted, looking like he was about to cry...
Ling Huanan gritted his teeth and withdrew his hand, and the little one quickly turned back into the obedient and adorable baby who was spitting and playing by himself.
This scene made everyone present burst into laughter.
Ling Huanan looked at Xue Wen with feigned grievance, but was ignored by the other party.
The world where only Ling Huanan was injured was achieved. Looking at her well-behaved son in Lin Shu's arms, she felt that her little darling was missing a draft...
