Wan Ning, who was disturbed by Zuo Linghong's words, quickly became calm. She thought that Zuo Linghong must have known that he was going to die, and he couldn't accept the fact that he could bite one when he was dying. Wan Ning didn't believe his words at the moment.

"Don't talk nonsense, I won't believe it. Uncle has always wanted to marry the Li family, how could he want to trip over his father? How could he kill his father? ”

"That's all I have to say about your father's death, believe it or not."

"I don't know why my father killed someone, and he can't be the only one to decide such a big thing. Even if he is wrong, I believe that he will not sin unto death. Everything should be judged by the emperor, how can you harm people in private? He lost his position and was demoted, and everything was so passive, so that you had a chance. ”

Zuo Linghong raised his head and glared at her, and asked, "Are you really not interested in your Uncle Gao's crimes?" Let me tell you, when the emperor interrogated me, I recruited them all. In the face of the emperor, I didn't dare to hide anything, let alone deceive. ”

Seeing that Wanning ignored him, he told Gao Junming's crime again, as if he was telling a story. For a long time, he felt aggrieved in his heart, and today he can finally take this opportunity to vent the unhappiness in his heart.

"After your father's death, Gao Junming seemed to be even more unscrupulous. Not to mention embezzling a bunch of tributes, he also vigorously co-opted some officials from other places who came to Beijing, accepted a large amount of bribes, and bought people's hearts for a long time, all of which are serious crimes. It was easy to transfer a distant relative to the household and ignore me, who had been with him for a long time. I'm a dog in his eyes! The promotion that I finally waited for was just to appease me. ”

Wan Ning frowned and said, "Don't say it, that's my uncle's business." I'm sure the emperor will deal with it, you don't need to tell me. ”

"As long as Lord Zuo promises me one thing, I may beg to let your family go."

Zuo Linghong lowered his head, as if he was still immersed in memories. After a while, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wan Ning took out the poison bottle: "This is the poison that the adults poisoned my father back then, you sent someone to Liangzhou thousands of miles away to eat it for my father." I'm going to watch you eat it with your own eyes today, as long as you can drink the poison. Before you die, I will ask the emperor to forgive your family and let you go on your road with peace of mind. Don't worry, I do what I say. ”

"I really didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Li family, who has always been gentle and lovely, would be so vicious!" Zuo Linghong then laughed wildly.

Maybe he smiled at Wan Ning and looked away, maybe he laughed at himself, and his sad life could finally be freed.

He took the vial, opened the cap tremblingly, and stared at it for a long time. Finally, he threw his head up and drank a mouthful of poison. Wan Ning saw all this, he did eat it, and after swallowing it, there was still a red liquid on his lips.

Wan Ning couldn't help but be afraid, and then, the fear grew stronger, causing her to squat on the ground. She hugged her legs and her eyes were full of tears. I don't believe it anymore, but one life is like this......

didn't wait for her to come back to her senses, only to hear Zuo Linghong say again: "If there is a next life, I may not take your father's life, or even go against him." I say that, don't you feel better? But ah, I probably won't sharpen my head and squeeze into the officialdom, cultivate those few acres of farmland, although my life is poor......"

Zuo Linghong's eyes suddenly became distant, and there seemed to be a picture in front of him that he would never see again in his life.

Wanning burst into tears in an instant, she got up suddenly, and ran out of the prison crying.

The back of her hand wiped her cheeks from time to time, but the tears were still big and big, and she really wanted to bring her father back to life. What is the use of Zuo Linghong's current confession? Will my father still come back to life?

Fear, resentment, frustration...... All kinds of emotions accumulated in her heart, and her legs were so weak that she couldn't walk. Wan Ning crouched outside the prison and cried.

It took a long time for my mood to calm down a little.

Every word Zuo Linghong said, in fact, she listened to it. Especially after he had eaten the poison, it was a kind of tragedy, and his words lingered in her mind all the time.

At first, Wan Ning thought that the meaning of his false accusation at the moment was just the last struggle. But at this moment, she thinks that what Zuo Linghong said is also reasonable, "When a person is about to die, his words are also good." He pointed out that his uncle's crimes were not necessarily framed.

The entanglement between her uncle and her father made her heart become upset again.

Wan Ning did not return to the palace, but walked all the way back to the Li Mansion, and did not notify the Gao Mansion after going back, only locked herself in the house. But Ningzhu didn't want Miss to miss the opportunity to get together with the young master, and seeing that the young lady was in a bad mood, they needed the young master even more, so they notified the Gao Mansion as before.

After Gao Ziang came, Wan Ning didn't see him.

He asked Ning Zhu suspiciously, "What happened?" ”

"I don't know, Miss has been preoccupied since she returned home." Ning Zhu glared at him mischievously, "Young Master, you have to coax him well." ”

Helplessly, Gao Ziang came to Wanning's house and asked, "Wanning, what happened?" No matter what happens, why don't you even see me? ”

Wan Ning did not respond to him.

Gao Ziang had been very worried, and waited outside the door for two hours, but Wan Ning finally relented and let him into the room.

"Uncle was the mastermind behind my father's death." Wan Ning raised the short knife and pointed it at Gao Ziang.

After entering the house, he had kept his head down, thinking that Wanning was in a bad mood for the time being, and he didn't take it seriously. But hearing Wan Ning say this, she raised her head suddenly, and saw her holding a short knife again, and was startled.

He reached out from the side to collect the short knife: "Wanning, don't be kidding, I'm tired of holding a knife." ”

But Wan Ning dodged a little, had no intention of putting it away, and her attitude was very resolute. Gao Ziang realized that she was not joking.

"Wanning, didn't I explain it to you clearly? The father himself said that he did not want to poison his uncle, and he would not be so confused. ”

"I don't believe your clever words. Without your father's instigation, with Zuo Linghong's official position at that time, how could he dare to harm my father? My girl is really unfilial! I have long felt that his death was not simple, not only failed to avenge him, but also fell in love with you. ”

"The last time I was beaten was because I framed my father, and you also saw the fate of the Zuo family, a little bit of wind was revealed, and the murder of the court officials would make the entire Gao family irreversible."

Wan Ning questioned him: "Is it interesting to kick the ball in front of human life?" ”

"Okay, I'm not going to fight with you. If I can relieve the hatred of your heart, kill me and avenge your father. ”

The tip of the knife roamed around his neck for a long time, and finally he couldn't support it anymore and fell to the ground.

"I know you're reluctant to kill me. But when you suddenly think so, what wind do you hear? ”

Wan Ning ignored him, held on to a round stool, and sat down on the ground.
