Jiang Ningwan had planned to talk about this matter two days later, but she didn't expect that she could no longer hide it.

He took Ling Jinlan into the room and planned to explain everything.

But who knew that as soon as he entered the room, he saw Ling Chaowen pounding the table and crying, "How could it be her! How could it be her!"

Jiang Ningwan looked at Qin Wenli, and Qin Wenli nodded helplessly.

Ling Chaowen has been told everything.

Ling Chaowen was a little overwhelmed when he learned the truth.

A hint of coldness flashed across Ling Jinlan's eyes, "If it really is her..."

"Ever since my brother brought her back, our family has never treated her unfairly. Even though she was of low status, we never gave her the cold shoulder. When she was exiled to the north, my grandfather, my parents, and I took good care of her, providing her with food and drink. They would rather starve themselves than let us younger generations go. But we never expected that this ungrateful person would be the one to harm us."

"I was wondering why there were letters of treason in my grandfather's bedroom."

Hatred rose in Ling Jinlan's heart.

In fact, after being exiled, they all had doubts, but when they saw Lin Qinglai being exiled with them and suffering together, they dispelled their doubts about her.

Ling Chaowen suddenly stood up, his eyes red and he rushed out excitedly, "I want to see her!"

"I want to know clearly!"

Jiang Ningwan quickly grabbed him and said, "She's in prison, on death row. You won't be able to see her if you go like this."

Hearing this, Ling Chaowen grabbed her hand and said, "Ningwan, please give me the seal of nobility. If I were a duke, I would be able to see her!"

Jiang Ningwan frowned and shook off his hand.

"How old are you? After all you've been through, are you still so ignorant?"

"You can't even tell whether Lin Qinglai is good or bad, how dare I give you the seal of nobility."

Ling Chaowen was furious and roared, "Yes! This is all my fault! I was the one who brought Lin Qinglai home. I've ruined our entire family! I'm a sinner!"

"I'm just a piece of shit!"

After saying that, Ling Chaowen slammed the door and left.

The veins on Jiang Ningwan's forehead were throbbing and it hurt a little.

Qin Wenli put his hands behind his back and sighed solemnly: "I'll get someone to keep an eye on him. Let's eat first and leave him alone."

"Just wait until his temper subsides."

Everyone is familiar with Ling Chaowen's personality and is no longer surprised.

Jiang Ningwan pulled Ling Jinlan to sit down, and the three of them finished the meal.

After Ling Chaowen left the restaurant angrily, he had nowhere to go and kicked stones in frustration at the street corner.

I just went to the pub to drink.

Just want to get drunk.

As he was drinking, a figure suddenly sat down next to him.

Ling Chaowen was slightly startled, looked up, then looked away and continued drinking, "What are you doing here?"

"It seems that he didn't want to take back the Duke's seal." Lu Lingsong sighed, sat down, and poured himself a glass of wine.

Ling Chaowen was very annoyed, "She won't give me the Duke's Seal anymore."

"I am the one who harmed the Ling family. I am a sinner and have no right to receive the Duke's seal."

As he spoke, Ling Chaowen lifted up the wine jug and drank.

Lu Lingsong was slightly startled, and said dimly: "How can I blame you for this? Lin Qinglai deceived you, and you are also a victim."

"I understand the truth. The closer you are to me, the more you should understand me. How could I blame you?"

Ling Chaowen laughed at himself, "Maybe in their eyes, I'm a waste."

"I'm the most useless one in the Ling family..."

Ling Chaowen was drunk, with tears in his red eyes.

Lu Lingsong comforted him, "How can you be so self-deprecating?"

"By the way, I heard that it was Jiang Ningwan who coerced and bribed Lin Qinglai to confess, and only then was the Ling family's case overturned."

"I'm wondering if it's possible... Lin Qinglai didn't do it, and he just wanted to save you? That's why he admitted the crime and overturned the Ling family's case."

Hearing this, Ling Chaowen's drinking suddenly froze.

Suddenly put it down heavily.

The eyes became clear.

"Yeah, Qing said maybe he was wrongly accused and confessed because he wanted to save me."

"No, I can't wrongly accuse her. I have to go ask her!"

As he spoke, he excitedly grabbed Lu Lingsong's arm and said, "Do you have a way to let me go to the prison to see Lin Qinglai?"

Lu Lingsong shook his head regretfully. "I have no reason to go see her. Besides, if the Third Prince and Jiang Ningwan knew that I was helping you behind your back, I'm afraid they wouldn't let you go. I'd better not trouble you."

"If you can get the seal back and you are related to this case, you should be able to go in."

Hearing this, Ling Chaowen felt a sinking feeling in his heart and became dejected.

"If I could get the seal back, I would have already gone in."

Ling Chaowen sighed, picked up the wine jug and started drinking again.

Lu Lingsong held up his glass and clinked it with his, "Don't drink alone, I'll accompany you."

"After all, you and Jiang Ningwan are related by blood. If you say something nice to her, she will probably help you."

Ling Chaowen snorted coldly, "I'm her brother! Do you want me to beg her?"

Hearing this, a triumphant smile flashed across Lu Lingsong's eyes.

Lin Qinglai was a sharp blade that drove a wedge between the two of them.

"Lin Qinglai will be executed in the autumn. If you want to see her, time is running out."

Ling Chaowen was slightly startled, his expression became serious, and he tightly gripped the wine jug. After a long silence, he angrily threw the jug.

"I'm so useless!"

After having a tantrum, Ling Chaowen stood up and rushed out.

Jiang Ningwan and the other two had just walked out of Dengque Tower and were preparing to take Ling Jinlan shopping to relax. After all, they had just returned to Kyoto and needed to adapt.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ningwan had just gotten on the carriage.

Suddenly, a strong force came from behind and pulled her down.

Jiang Ningwan lost her balance and nearly fell. Turning around, she saw Ling Chaowen, his face red, shouting angrily, "Give me the Seal of Noble!"

"I want to see Lin Qinglai!"

Jiang Ningwan frowned, anger glimmering in his eyes, "You want to ask me for the Duke's Seal, and you're drinking to boost your courage?"

"Lin Qinglai harmed the Ling family. Grandfather, your parents, and my mother all died because of him. The first thing you do when you return to Kyoto is to meet this sinner, Lin Qinglai?"

"Do you still have any conscience?"

"You were the one who brought Lin Qinglai into our family. Do you feel even a little guilty?"

"Still pestering me for the Duke's seal, are you worthy of it?"

Jiang Ningwan's cold words stabbed Ling Chaowen like a knife.

Qin Wenli was a little hurt by what he heard, and he quickly tried to dissuade him: "Alright, Chao Wen, you've had too much to drink! Go back and rest first, and don't make Ning Wan angry."

"If it weren't for her, you might not have been able to come back safely this time."

Ling Jinlan also advised him: "Yes, brother, the family has just reunited, don't be angry."

"Hasn't it been bad enough that you've been deceived by an ungrateful person like Lin Qinglai? Why do you have to see her?"

"Let's go, brother."

Ling Jinlan tried to pull Ling Chaowen into the carriage.

After all, this is at the entrance of a restaurant, and there are many people around. If they make a fuss, it will be a laughing stock.

But Ling Chaowen got angry and shook off Ling Jinlan's arm.

Ling Jinlan staggered and fell into Jiang Ningwan's arms.

"You all think Lin Qinglai is a liar, but she's the only one who never despises me. She doesn't despise me for not accomplishing anything, and she doesn't think I'm useless. But in your eyes, I'm the most useless!"

"You didn't give me the seal of nobility, doesn't it mean you think I'm stupid and useless and can't sit on the throne of the Duke?"

"You all look down on me!"

"What family are you talking about? You are the family, not me!"
