The man was Shen Lin.

People who knew him discovered that he had only one leg broken, but now both legs were paralyzed.

Shen Lin glared at Li Xinglan fiercely. This was all thanks to him! Originally, he only had one leg lame, and he could still walk! But this brat actually dared to break his other good leg, leaving him completely paralyzed in bed!

Even if I lose a layer of skin, I will bite a piece of your flesh! The madness in Shen Lin's eyes kept surging, and his voice trembled with excitement when he accused Li Xinglan.

"I'm here to testify! I saw him sneaking into Tongfu Restaurant last night. Not only that, I'm also going to sue Li Xinglan!"

As Shen Lin spoke, he climbed down from the wooden board, supported himself with his arms, and crawled towards Han Zhiling with difficulty.

"Li Xinglan has no respect for the law! He's going too far! A while ago, he broke into my house, broke my leg, and even slashed my mother's face with a knife! My Lord, please help me!"

I have to say that Shen Lin is a great actor. After he said this, tears came down his eyes.

The crowd of onlookers instantly exploded, and the looks they gave Li Xinglan became strange.

I didn’t expect that this guy looks so handsome and looks like a Bodhisattva, but his style of doing things is so cruel!

Su Su listened to Shen Lin's distortion of right and wrong, and was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

Bullshit! She was about to rush out and start talking passionately when she saw Li Xinglan take the lead and walk towards Shen Lin.

He squatted down, put his hands on his knees, tilted his head slightly, and asked Shen Lin with a smile, "Have I ever told you..."

I. Will. Kill. You.

He spoke the last five words silently, enunciating each one.

Shen Lin understood his lip language and felt a chill on his back. The fear of being almost killed that night suddenly surged into his heart.

He trembled and turned away, not daring to look Li Xinglan in the eye.

Because of the angle, Han Zhiling couldn't see Li Xinglan's lip movements. He only saw Shen Lin's face turn pale in an instant, as if he had seen a ghost.

Han Zhiling asked, "What did you say?"

Li Xinglan stood up and looked down at Shen Lin with contempt, as if he were looking at a maggot. "I say, be honest, or there will be retribution."

After saying this, Li Xinglan bowed to Han Zhiling and said, "It was indeed me who broke this beast's leg. As for the rest, I didn't do it."

Turning around, Li Xinglan said to Chen Taifu with a serious face, "As for those few broken trees of yours, I can have as many as I want. Except for the grass on your mother's grave, I'm not interested in them if you say you're not interested."

Chen Taifu: “…”

He said this so many times that people could hardly tell whether Li Xinglan was telling the truth or simply insulting others.

Chen Taifu was furious. "I'm warning you, we're all businessmen, don't make personal attacks! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have a good relationship with King Pingwu! If a prince breaks the law, he's no different from a commoner!"

Finally, Chen Taifu quietly added in his heart, "I'm not afraid of you! Who in this imperial city doesn't have some background?"

Seeing Chen Taifu straighten his back, Shen Lin also bravely questioned, "Why do you hurt others for no reason? Thugs like you should be locked up!"

Shen Lin spoke with confidence, and he didn't believe that Li Xinglan had the nerve to give reasons in front of so many people.

Your own sister was sold to Wanhua Tower, haha, let’s see how you can say it!

Shen Lin's despicable expression caught Su Su's eyes. She knew why Shen Lin dared to question Li Xinglan like this. Wasn't it because Gambler Brother would keep silent in order to protect her reputation?

She couldn't bear it any longer and stood up to go forward, but Blind Chen was quick-witted and pulled her over.

He shook his head seriously at Su Su, signaling with his eyes that if she stood up and told the truth, she would be ruined!

Su Su was stunned. She knew very well that in this era, even if Qixia's literary style was more open, a woman's chastity was still considered extremely important.

Li Xinglan also saw Su Su out of the corner of his eye. He frowned slightly and shook his head at her, signaling her not to come over.

He really wanted to protect his sister's chastity! Shen Lin was ecstatic, his eyes filled with the joy of revenge.

"Sir! This thug broke my leg for no reason. I beg you to punish him severely according to the laws of Daqi!"

"Severely punish your mother!" Su Su could no longer control her emotions and pointed at Shen Lin and cursed, "You tricked me into coming to Wanhua Tower. We were kind enough to not let Gou kill you, and now you dare to turn the tables on me!"

Su Su put her hands on her hips, getting angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. She walked a few steps to Shen Lin and kicked him hard.

When the bailiff saw that the woman was about to be kicked to death, he hurried forward to pull her away and put her aside.

Despite this, Su Su continued to babble, "If it weren't for Wang Ma and Shen Huan constantly pleading for you, a beast, would we have allowed you to live and talk nonsense here?! They served me wholeheartedly to atone for your sins. Wang Ma risked her life to save me several times. Do you think you deserved them?"

These kicks made Shen Lin's eyes see stars, but he was still smart and said something extremely selfish, "They deserve it!"

Shen Huan looked at Shen Lin with disgust. Although she had known that Shen Lin was no good, she had never expected him to be so despicable.

Wang Ma, who was standing in the middle of the crowd, tried desperately to get through the crowd to protect Shen Lin when she saw Su Su kicking him fiercely. But after Shen Lin said those words, she seemed to have all her strength drained away, her back became weak, and she seemed to have aged a dozen years in an instant.

She looked at Shen Lin with a complicated expression, her heart aching. Finally, she seemed to have made up her mind and turned away.

The onlookers heard Su Su say in person that she was sold to Wanhua Tower by Shen Lin. Although they despised him very much, they were more interested in the fact that the girl had lost her innocence.

"I heard that she was originally ugly, that's why she wore a veil, and now she's been sold to the secular world, losing her innocence, tut tut tut."

"She's definitely not going to get married. This girl is the same. She lost her virginity and didn't hide it, but she dared to show it openly."

The crowd was talking, but Li Xinglan didn't care about it. He stepped forward quickly, snatched Su Su back from the yamen runner's hands, and protected her behind him.

The bailiffs were furious. They hadn't noticed, and someone had dared to snatch someone from them?! Several of them were furious and were about to rush forward with their swords drawn, but were stopped by Han Zhiling.

He frowned and looked at the brother and sister, fearing that things were going to be troublesome.

Li Xinglan turned around and angrily yelled at Su Su, "Didn't I tell you not to come out? How dare you tell anyone anything? Don't you care about your reputation?!"

Su Su was stunned and shrank her head. This was the first time Li Xinglan spoke to her in such a harsh tone.

Her eyes instantly turned red, and her tone was extremely aggrieved, "I don't want them to say that you... are cruel and ruthless, and have no respect for the law... I also don't want them to ruin your reputation..."

Vicious discussions were heard all around, and Li Xinglan frowned. He looked at Su Su with red eyes, carefully pulling the corner of his clothes.

He heard her say, "It doesn't matter what they say about me. I don't want them to slander you."

His heart softened.

Suddenly, he laughed, a smile of extraordinary elegance.

Even the crowd was silent for a moment.
