Chapter 23: Shadow Pendant (47)

One day ago, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and there were wild geese flying south. The lights on Bailing Mountain were dim and they were nowhere to be seen.

"I still don't understand..."

Chang Yinglan hugged her legs and sat on the bed with a grimace. Her young face did not have any scars from the years. The clean moonlight made her skin look delicate and shiny. Xiaolan's whole body was illuminated by faint blue light.

On the face, her face can also be obviously white.

"What don't you understand?"

Xiao Lan stroked her black hair down again and again. It was late at night and she was going to sleep after all. However, Chang Yinglan was upset because of the things during the day and refused to sleep for a long time. She could only help her to sleep.

Smooth hair.

Although she enjoys it.

With such beautiful hair, no one can resist touching it, including fish.

"I don't understand why that guy named Ning Ji cares about me so much..."

Chang Yinglan's voice was very soft, and she spoke eloquently, as if she was singing.

"I can feel that he cares about me... It's very strange... I feel... a little strange... but I can't describe the feeling... It's like... there are ants crawling on my heart...

It's itchy... makes me very irritable... and inexplicably anxious... makes me want to ask why he cares about me..."

Chang Yinglan could not describe her feelings.

She didn't know what love at first sight was, nor could she fall in love with a little boy at first sight. There was no physical reason why she felt Ning Ji was different.

"I'm going to find Brother Xiuyuan, I can't stay here for too long!"

She wanted to stand up violently, but Xiao Lan pressed her head again.

"Oops! It's so late... Where are you going? No matter what, we have to talk about it tomorrow! As a human being, you are still growing, so you must rest!"

Xiao Lan will definitely not let her run around.

She looked into Chang Yinglan's sad eyes, pouted and murmured: "What's there to think about... That boy is too attentive to you. There must be a reason for everything, and there must be something wrong! You have to be careful about him.

That’s it!”

She is like Chang Yinglan's best friend in the boudoir compound, always thinking about her well-being.

"Really... During the day today, if that Chu Yue hadn't been nagging him, he would have come to nag you a long time ago!"

Chang Yinglan was not enlightened, her confusion did not dissipate, but she could only be held down by Xiao Lan, not knowing how to answer.

In her mouth, she could only say two words.

"But……"

Outside the window, an owl hoots softly.

"There's nothing to worry about...Okay! Sleep well now! When the sun rises tomorrow, we can leave here!"

Xiaolan seemed to be confident that they would leave, but in fact, they could not leave immediately. This made Chang Yinglan even more anxious.

At this moment, she might be thinking of a myriad of reasons, but what she faced was indeed only the light of a luminous crystal lamp and a thin bed for outsiders to sleep on.

Such an empty room was quite deserted, as if a cold wind passed by, followed by a whooshing sound on her back.

She had no choice but to grab the quilt and cover her body. Xiaolan let out a cry and was buried in the quilt.

"We will probably be unable to leave tomorrow... According to that person, we seem to have committed some serious crime and need to be put in the most severe cell..."

Throughout the whole day, Ning Ji told Chang Yinglan like she was going crazy. If she didn't behave honestly, she would soon be taken to the Viper Prison. The horror there was indescribable to a practitioner.

measurable.

In order not to be imprisoned there, Chang Yinglan must stay here quietly, not going anywhere or doing anything.

However, this is really frustrating...

This is a situation that shouldn't exist...

"That's all the bad guy fooling you!"

Xiaolan disagreed.

"Can……"

"Nothing but..."

Xiaolan spread her hands indifferently: "Think about it, we haven't done anything from yesterday to now... we haven't even left the house. If they want to investigate us, there is no way they can charge us with doing nothing.

The crime?"

Xiaolan flew into the air with disdain and said sternly: "There is no such logic at all. I know that your human logic is very strange, but to be honest, no matter how we are upright, we are not afraid of slanted shadows. We simply don't

We are not afraid of their investigation. The clearer the investigation, the more we can prove our innocence, don’t you think?"

Her logic is very clear and she has a special kind of confidence.

This confidence comes from a kind of innocence, but also from her own brilliance as a spiritual beast.

"That's right..."

Chang Yinglan was the daughter of the city lord. She didn't see many unjust, false and wrong cases, but the one thing that she remembered the longest came from a very simple thing.

A rich businessman wanted to occupy a farmer's field, so he destroyed the farmer's banker and sued the farmer for stealing his rice in a very bad way. After being discovered, he became so angry that he destroyed the rich businessman's rice in his own field.

.

The city lord did not immediately judge what was right and wrong, but first imprisoned the defendant, that is, he took the lead in arresting the farmer, and then asked the wealthy businessman to appear in court to identify whether the rice destroyed by the farmer belonged to his family.

The wealthy businessman insisted that it belonged to his own family and burst into tears during the trial. He cursed the farmers and picked up the rice while crying.

The city lord convicted the peasants of stealing and destroying rice. He needed to return all the stolen rice and destroyed rice to the wealthy businessman. He also had to compensate the wealthy businessman for his expenses and be imprisoned in a prison cell for half a month.

In the end, the wealthy businessman not only got the rice money, but also the entire land. The unlucky farmer not only lost the field and rice, but also his family was ruined, and his wife and children were separated.

Just because her father, the city lord, received a large sum of money from a wealthy businessman.

A wealthy businessman would naturally have the support of someone as powerful as her father.

[Those who are upright will receive the punishment they deserve]

She knew this only because her mother passed by the wealthy businessman's field, and her mother carefully told her how the wealthy businessman owned the field.

Her mother kindly warned her to be careful about this person and not to be coveted by her or show emotions that she shouldn't have.

What's more important is to follow my mother closely in this field.

This situation is very similar to what my mother said. She will definitely never want to mention this matter again in her life, because she will be scared just thinking about it.

She is obviously innocent, but she will end up in jail.

It can't be said to be miserable.

If Ning Ji, or someone who manages the Viper Prison, accepts money from others like her father, the city lord, and wants to throw her into prison, then she will have to be shadowed for the rest of her life.

shrouded.

Such a thing obviously sounds absurd, but the rich businessman always knows his innocence better than the farmer.

Then this thing happened extremely real.

An unjust, false or wrongful conviction has become the case.

It seems only natural that it is not the teller but the defendant who has his family ruined and his family destroyed.

But the reality is terrifying.
