Li Siwan frowned and instantly realized something was wrong.

Liu Qingyan abused her sold concubine, but now she is pleading for her in court?

The concubine was stopped by the brigade and she simply knelt down outside the hall.

"Your Excellency is wise. Everything Madam has done is good. Duke Ningguo is the one who deserves to die."

"I am just a dying man, and I just wanted to spare you out of kindness. You don't have to repay me for this little favor."

Liu Qingyan's tone was calm, but her eyes were red.

"Madam, it's already this late, why are you still pretending to be a villain?"

The concubine reached out and cried, unbuttoning her clothes.

Many people quickly covered their eyes, but Li Siwan saw it clearly.

Her body was covered with scars and bruises.

Seeing this, Xu Qingfeng asked someone to bring his concubine in.

"Please explain the reason."

"Thank you, sir. My name is Xiao Cui. I was originally a flower girl outside the city. Not long ago, when I was selling flowers in the city, I was accidentally spotted by Duke Ningguo. He followed me home that day and threatened me to become his concubine, threatening the safety of my entire family. When I refused, he beat my father half to death. I had no choice but to enter Duke Ningguo's mansion."

Xiao Cui burst into tears, "I thought I would live a peaceful life after entering the mansion, but I never expected that this Duke Ningguo would be worse than an animal. Every time he came to my room, he would beat, scold and humiliate me, making me feel so miserable that I wanted to die. But considering that my relatives at home are still in his hands, I can only swallow my anger."

Xiao Cui looked at Liu Qingyan, "Luckily, I have Madam. Every time I was abused to death, it was Madam who saved me. Later, when she knew I didn't want to stay, she pretended to abuse me and sold me off, but she actually set me free in secret. And as far as I know, all the concubines before were also saved by Madam in this way."

Xiao Cui kowtowed to the ground, "Sir, it is the Duke of Ning who should die. Madam is such a good person, please show mercy!"

After these words were spoken, people couldn't help but talk about it.

Li Siwan was also shocked.

She was blinded by public opinion and had some prejudice against Liu Qingyan.

Now this is the truth.

Li Siwan felt mixed emotions, and so did the people.

"Xiao Cui, thank you."

Liu Qingyan glanced at Xiao Cui with a smile, then bowed to Xu Qingfeng.

"Sir, a life for a life is a life, that's the law. I'm a dying man, and since I killed someone, I didn't even think about living. Please, sir, let me pay with my life."

Ask for death.

Li Siwan frowned slightly, but seemed to understand.

Liu Qingyan must have once been deeply in love with Duke Ningguo.

Now that she has killed him with her own hands, no one could be more painful than her. She would rather sacrifice her own life to seek relief.

"You are right. The law is the law. Although you have your reasons, you did kill someone. The law can show mercy, but it does not tolerate the crime. Since you want to die, I will grant your wish."

Xu Qingfeng threw down the token, "The criminal Liu Qingyan, who murdered Duke Ning, is unforgivable. He will be executed in ten days."

"Thank you, sir."

Liu Qingyan smiled, feeling relieved.

Xiao Cui burst into tears, "No, sir, madam..."

The people had different expressions, but Li Siwan turned around and left the court.

There was a mocking smile in his eyes.

In this era, there is no such thing as fair laws. It’s just that Liu Qingyan can’t escape, and doesn’t want to.

People like Xiahou Su killed countless people, but they also managed to get away with it cleanly.

and many more.

Xiahou Su!

Maybe he has a way.

Li Siwan glanced at him and headed towards the villa of the Marquis' Mansion.

It happened that Xiahou Su was out and had not returned yet, so Li Siwan went straight to the kitchen.

Her idea was simple: if you accept a favor from someone, you should be grateful to him; if you receive a favor from someone, you should be grateful to him. She should please him first and then ask for help. He would not be easy to refuse.

When night fell, Li Siwan had prepared a table full of dishes and then paced back and forth beside the table.

"What should I say? Well, Xiahou Su, I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins, do you want it?"

"Isn't this too arrogant? After all, you are asking someone to do something for you, so you should be gentler."

"Yes, be gentler. The young marquis is handsome and elegant, and he looks particularly good today. Actually, I want to ask the young marquis for help with something."

"No, no, this is obviously a flattery for someone else's benefit!"

Li Siwan was directing and acting out his own thoughts, thinking about how to talk to Xiahou Su. He was so absorbed in the situation that he didn't notice the figure walking slowly behind him.

"Never mind, I'll just use my superb, flexible and thick-skinned skills..."

"What are you going to do with your superb, flexible and thick-skinned Kung Fu?"

The voice suddenly sounded behind him. Li Siwan's heart skipped a beat. When he turned around and saw Xiahou Su, his legs suddenly softened and he fell to his knees.

As soon as this scene happened, the place fell into dead silence.

Xiahou Su stood there in a daze. He never expected that Li Siwan would kneel down in front of him.

In fact, Li Siwan himself didn't expect this.

He looked very embarrassed.

But then I thought, I've already kneeled, it can't be in vain.

"Young Marquis, I have a favor to ask of you."

Xiahou Su frowned slightly, "What? Have you committed a crime that could lead to the extermination of your entire clan?"

"No, no, I just need your help with a small matter."

"Stand up first, I cannot accept your gift."

After Xiahou Su finished speaking, he turned and looked at the table of food and wine.

Li Siwan curled the corners of his lips.

Well, I didn’t expect that this accidental kneeling would have such a surprisingly good effect.

There's no need to flatter.

As soon as he stood up, he heard Xiahou Su's cold voice, "Want to poison me again?"

Li Siwan was speechless, but still forced a smile as he walked forward and helped Xiahou Su sit down at the table.

"Is this my attitude of asking for help? My young master, please try it. I made all of this myself!"

Made by myself.

Hearing these four words, Xiahou Su felt inexplicably comfortable in his heart.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't go back to the villa?"

"No, no, I'm not busy with the opening of Tianxia Diyilou. I'm too busy and it's inconvenient to move back and forth, so I said I won't be back for the time being. It's just for now."

"Oh, but I still don't understand what an apology is!"

Xiahou Su stretched out his hand to pour tea, his tone and expression were really mean.

But Li Siwan had no choice. Not only could he not get angry, he also had to put on a smile.

"What are you talking about, young marquis? You don't need to apologize. It was all caused by coincidence. It has nothing to do with you, young marquis."

"really?"

"really!"

Li Siwan gritted his teeth, but Xiahou Su nodded with satisfaction, "Well, in that case, I will forgive you. Tell me, what's the matter?"

He forgives her!

With his ability to confuse right and wrong, why doesn’t he take back the Kingdom of Dongxiao!

Li Siwan took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "Does the young marquis know about the Ningguo Duke's wife?"

"Well, you came for her?"

"Exactly."

"Why? Do you have a grudge against her and want to take advantage of her?"

"No, I want to save her!"

Xiahou Su paused holding the teacup and looked at Li Siwan in surprise.

"You want to save her? I remember that you should have no friendship with her."

"We don't have much of a relationship, but she's a good person, and she won't live more than half a year. She's been confined to the Duke's Mansion her entire life. Why not give her freedom in these short six months of her remaining life?"

"So what you mean is that because she is a good person, you want to help her, even at the cost of kneeling down to me?"
