Seeing that everyone's emotions were high, they all wanted to drag out Fatty Luo and have him say the words that 'wrongly accused' Lin Sanniang again.

Su Li cursed inwardly. Today's plan seemed to have already escaped her control.

Not only did he not swindle the truth about the Lin Sanniang, he had to also swindle himself in.

If the news of Fatty Luo's death were to be found out by others, then he would have to bear the responsibility of framing Lin Sanniang. Perhaps, it might even implicate Mo Lianjin's prestige.

In an instant, all sorts of thoughts appeared in her mind, but they were all overturned by her.

Evidence!

If there was evidence, the people of Lin Sanniang would collapse.

What else did he miss?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Su Li's mind, and he thought of a clue that he had not thought of before.

She calmed her heart, looked at Lin Sanniang, who was still crying, and said, ”Fatty Luo also said that he saw you on the hillside the day Shi Cheng died.”

Lin Sanniang shook her head, her eyes filled with tears, ”I have never been to the hillside, I don't know why he would slander me like that.”

”You mean to say, Shi Cheng's death has nothing to do with you?”

Lin Sanniang sobbed and was unable to speak, but the kitchen auntie protected her behind him in hatred and spoke up for her, ”Prince's Wife can't solve this case, is he trying to take her down?”

”If the Prince's Wife wants to take us down, then take us all.” Another cook was holding a spoon, looking indignant.

”Exactly …”

Everyone from the kitchen stood out, vowing to defend Lin Sanniang.

Su Li was speechless, and what made her even more speechless was that Hei Qi, who was standing by her side, had lowered his voice and muttered to Mo Jiu.

”Old Mo, do you think our mistress really doesn't know what she looks like?” The things that the Verdant Wood Flute said were all lies, right? ”

”…”

Su Li only wanted to sew Hei Qi's mouth shut!

It was one thing to be rough on the outside, but it was another to be rough on the heart.

”Alright, then let's not bother with Fatty Luo's words for now, let me ask you a few questions.” Su Li squinted as her lips curled up in a cold smile.

Lin Sanniang choked and nodded, ”Please do not hesitate to ask Prince's Wife.”

Su Li paced a few steps in place, his black robe reflecting a rainbow light under the shining rays of the sun.

”Shi Cheng died on the back of the hill, the murderer left a ring on the weapon. The size of the ring is the same as the one Shi Cheng bought when he entered the city, and you have also admitted that the ring was given to you by Shi Cheng.”

The Lin Sanniang was silent.

Su Li glanced at her, and continued, ”After Shi Cheng bought the thumb ring from the city, he went to the small hill, and since he wanted to propose to you, he must have also arranged to meet you, and the culprit is wearing the thumb ring, it would be hard to not arouse everyone's suspicions, the culprit was not you.”

Lin Sanniang opened his mouth, and only after a long time did he voice out, ”That day, he did not make an appointment with me, I was always resting in the tent.”

”Alright, let me ask you the second question.” Su Li looked at the kitchen auntie, ”You once told me that Third Mother doesn't like the pestering of the Fatty Luo and is very tired of him, right?”

”Exactly.”

Su Li nodded, his gaze landed on Lin Sanniang's face again. Looking at her eyes, who knows, before he could even speak, Lin Sanniang would already avoid his gaze, not daring to look her in the eye.
