My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 46: Interrogating the traitor, unexpected gains

"Lin Qingyan, are you still unwilling to recruit me?"

The woman in the prison seems to be Lin, the concubine of the third master Qin Que. Even though she has been severely tortured, her delicate and beautiful face cannot be concealed.

"Princess, my eldest son, I know that I am guilty of a capital crime and beg to die. However, please consider that the fifth young master is a flesh and blood of the Qin family and treat him kindly."

Lin's lips were chapped and she said dumbly.

"You have never treated my daughter well, and you are trying to get me to treat your son well. Mrs. Lin, do you think I am very kind?"

Princess Hetai said lightly sarcastically.

"Princess, I beg you, concubine. The fifth young master is only a three-year-old child. He doesn't understand anything. He is innocent. Please spare him..."

Mrs. Lin knelt down and kowtowed with a sad voice.

Ever since he was imprisoned in the dungeon and learned that the fifth young master was also taken away from the courtyard by Qin He, Lin's psychological defense collapsed.

No matter how tough her words were, she could not be tougher than her worries about her children.

"My wife, Zhen'er, is only 15 years old. She is in her prime years. However, because of your cheating, her reputation has been completely ruined. Isn't it true that Zhen'er is not innocent? Have we ever treated you mother and son harshly? Have we never been sorry to you? Mother and son? Since you have done bad things, don't expect forgiveness from others. Whatever consequences your son will have are all because of you, the mother, so it was you who harmed him, not me who cannot tolerate him."

Princess Hetai looked at each other calmly. Mrs. Lin was heartbroken and speechless.

"How can the princess and the prince be willing to let go of the concubine's child?"

In the end, Ms. Lin relented. Her son was her weakness.

"It depends on how much you can explain." Qin He said coldly.

Mrs. Lin knew that she was facing a dead end, so she had to explain everything to her son in order to achieve a good outcome.

Qin He, mother and son, were interrogated in the dungeon for more than a quarter of an hour before leaving. Before leaving, someone gave Lin Ms. Lin medicine and took away a stack of testimonials signed by her.

Later, Bachi and others dug out an iron box under an apricot tree in a remote courtyard that Lin had told her about. It contained all the evidence that Lin had communicated with the outside world over the years, including her secret correspondence with Li Xu. letters.

Originally, these things should have been destroyed a long time ago, but in order to leave a way out for himself, Lin left all these clues in order to one day be able to exchange them for his life.

After collecting all the evidence, Qin He personally took Lin and his confession to Dali Temple for review.

Even if these cannot completely get the Qin family out of the whirlpool, at least public opinion will no longer be one-sided, and it will also have a certain effect on Qin Minzhen's reputation.

In just half a day, news of Li Xu's death spread throughout Kyoto. It would have been impossible if no one had contributed to the situation.Since others can create momentum, the Qin family can naturally do the same.By the time Qin He finished handling the matter at hand, it was already dinner time when he returned home.

Shen Yuan ordered someone to set out bowls and chopsticks for him, and both of them felt a bit unsatisfied with the meal.

"What happened to Aunt Lin?"

After the meal, Shen Yuan finally couldn't help but ask.

The concubine in the third room was very low-key in the mansion, almost like a transparent person. No one expected that she would be the most hidden thief.

"According to Lin's confession, she was originally a guest who was secretly cultivated. There were about ten women like her in the same batch. Some were abducted since childhood, some came from poor families, or were sold on the way to escape. After careful training, they were taken to various prefectures. Some went to the land of fireworks, and some were sold into high-level mansions as slaves. Most beautiful and literate women like Lin were They were sent to the back houses of powerful officials, countless of them."

"Hiss..." After hearing this, Shen Yuan took a breath and got goosebumps.

"What do the people behind this want to do? Do they want to rebel?"

She said the last two words silently with her lips, not daring to touch the taboo.

"This matter is too important. I will have to go to the palace to see the emperor soon."

Qin He felt more and more that he had lived in a muddle in his previous life, being kept in the dark by a woman and not even aware of such a fatal secret.

If Shen Yuan knew what he was thinking, he would definitely tell him a word called "butterfly effect".

Qin Minzhen had never been plotted against in his previous life, and Lin's identity had never been exposed, so naturally there would be no follow-up.

Shen Yuan nodded: "Of course, our small Hou family cannot afford this."

Oh my god, this is so scary!The thief found out a shocking secret, who can stand it?

As if he knew what she was thinking, Qin He immediately held her cold hand and transferred the heat from his palm.

Shen Yuan looked at him in surprise. The prince was very good at observing people's words and emotions. He was as meticulous as hair.

Qin He held back his smile, his eyes twinkling with stars.

The couple chatted in a low voice for a few more words. Seeing that it was getting dark, Qin He set off for the palace, while Shen Yuan took people to Qiyun Court to visit Qin Minzhen.

My sister-in-law has been a bit arrogant recently, and everything has happened to her. She is such a poor girl. You should enlighten her more when you have time.
