Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 247 Make mistakes
Xie Li found the confession in front of him extremely glaring.

He suddenly pounced forward and reached out to grab the confession!
Yan Ciwan was well prepared and took the confession first. Xie Li's attempt was in vain and his upper body hit the table. The table was forced to move forward, and the table legs made a harsh sound by rubbing against the ground.

The door on the left was suddenly pushed open, and Fu Bai and Yue Jin walked out quickly.

They grabbed Xie Li's arms, one on the left and one on the right, forcibly lifted him up and pushed him back into the chair.

At this moment in the small room on the left, Si Buping and Xiao Wang were sitting in two chairs, with a desk between them, on which were refreshments. The backs of the chairs were against the wall.

They leaned back in their chairs and could clearly hear the movements on the other side of the wall.

Xiao Wang knew that even if Yan Ciwan's injuries had not healed, Xie Li would not be her match, but he still couldn't help feeling a little worried at this moment, and his eyes were always looking towards the door.

In comparison, Si Buping was much calmer.

He ignored what happened in the next room and said while drinking tea: "Ning Ci's engagement was granted by the Saint. Even if she wanted to break off the engagement, the Saint would not allow it. Disobeying the Emperor's order is no joke. Even if you don't think about yourselves, you should think about your family."

Xiao Wang retracted his gaze and said calmly, "The person who is engaged to the prince is Princess Leyou, not Ning Ci."

Si Buping narrowed his eyes: "You and I know very well that Ning Ci is Princess Leyou."

"No, Ning Ci is Ning Ci, and Princess Leyou is Princess Leyou."

Si Buping's gaze gradually became darker: "Do you want to make the best of a bad situation?"

Xiao Wang said calmly: "Although there were mistakes in the process, as long as the ending is correct, what's wrong with that?"

Si Buping's face darkened: "Ning Ci was harmed by someone and lost her status as a princess and future crown princess. You don't want to seek justice for her, but you want to make the best of a bad situation. You are too selfish, you are not worthy of her at all!"

Xiao Wang met his gaze without dodging or avoiding.

"Whether I am worthy of her or not is a decision she should make herself, not an unrelated outsider."

On the other side of the wall, Xie Li was pinned to the chair and unable to move. His eyes were red and his expression was ferocious: "This confession is false. You must be lying to me. I want to see Aqin! I want to see her!"

Yan Ciwan asked someone to take out the memorial that had not yet dried, and said, "Confessions can be forged, but this memorial can't be fake, right?"

Xie Li stared at the memorial on the tray, his eyes full of resentment.

He seemed to see another person through the memorials, and his teeth were chattering.

"I want to see Aqin!"

Yan Ciwan said: "The Grand Master promised Ah Qin that as long as she told the truth, he would consider sparing her life."

The hatred in Xie Li's eyes grew stronger, and he seemed to want to curse, but in the end he gritted his teeth and held back.

He can't be fooled!
Yan Ciwan waved his hand, asking Fu Bai and Yue Jin to let go.

She said slowly, "Even if you don't admit it, the existing witnesses and physical evidence are enough to convict you."

Xie Li finally spoke: "Then why are you asking me?"

"I'm just curious, what kind of person is Xie Tanyu?"

Xie Li said expressionlessly: "Why should I tell you?"

"With the crime you committed, you will certainly die. Don't you want to say everything you have been holding back in your heart before you die? Or do you want to take these words to the grave?"

Xie Li glanced at Fu Bai and Yue Jin who were standing beside him.

Yan Ciwan asked Fubai and Yuejin to leave. After Fubai and Yuejin left, Xie Li remained silent.

Yan Ciwan said to Chaolu again, "You should go out too."

Chaolu was worried: "You are alone here, what if he wants to hurt you?"

Yan Ciwan gave her a reassuring look: "It's okay, I know what I'm doing."

"Well, if you need anything, just call us and we'll come in right away."

"Ah."

Chaolu walked out, looking back every few steps.

The door was closed gently, and the crying and wailing from the torture room next door also stopped. At this moment, only Yan Ciwan and Xie Li were in the room.

Yan Ciwan was the first to break the silence and asked, "Now that there are no outsiders around, can you speak now?"

Xie Li stared at her, his eyes as vicious as a venomous snake: "Put your hand over here, I have something to give you."

Yan Ciwan knew that he had bad intentions, but still stretched out his right hand.

Xie Li raised his hands, and the shackles on his wrists slid down, making a crisp clinking sound.

He grabbed Yan Ci Wan's slender wrist with one hand, and with the other hand he pulled out a wooden thorn from the inside of his belt and stabbed it hard into Yan Ci Wan's wrist!
He had broken off the wooden splinter from the wooden barrel in the cell. The tip of the splinter was extremely sharp, and it would definitely cause Yan Ciwan to suffer severe injuries.

However, Yan Ciwan reacted faster.

She grabbed Xie Li's wrist with her right hand, twisted it hard, and turned Xie Li's hand over, then pressed it down with a thud. With her left hand, she grabbed the crutch beside her and swung it hard at Xie Li's head!

He was hit on the temple, and his head started buzzing, as if the world was spinning, and his body fell forward uncontrollably.

Yan Ciwan withdrew his right hand, put down his crutch, and looked at Xie Li lying on the table, unable to get up.

She had deliberately restrained her strength just now to ensure that she would not kill the man in one blow. Although Xie Li's temple was swollen at this moment, there was no bleeding.

Yan Ciwan picked up the wooden thorn that fell on the table and asked leisurely.

"Is this what you want to show me? It must have taken you a lot of effort to sharpen it to such a sharp point."

It took Xie Li a long time to come back to his senses. He supported himself on the table with his hands and slowly stood up.

His eyes were bloodshot and looked scarlet, which was quite scary.

Yan Ciwan was not afraid at all. She smiled and said, "I accept your kindness. Now you should answer my questions obediently, right?"

Xie Li knew that he had underestimated the strength of the woman in front of him.

Even though her injuries had not healed, he was still no match for her.

He leaned back, holding his aching temple with his right hand, veins bulging on his face. It took him a long time to speak, his voice hoarse and resentful.

"Xie Tanyu's affairs have nothing to do with you, why do you want to meddle in other people's business?"

This is a good question. Yan Ciwan thought about it seriously: "Initially, it was because I was regarded as the murderer of Xie Tanyu. In order to clear the suspicion, I could only work hard to find out the truth. Now, it's probably because of curiosity."

Xie Li sneered, obviously not believing it.

Yan Ciwan said slowly: "Xie Tanyu and I only met once, and when we met again, he had become a corpse. We were not even acquaintances. I could only know his past through other people's descriptions, but everyone had a different opinion of him. In Liu Qingguang's eyes, he was a scumbag who abandoned his wife and children and didn't even want to see his first wife for the last time. In Xie Chusong's eyes, he was an accomplice in the extermination of her biological father's family. In Afeng's eyes, he was a master who seemed strict but was actually kind. So what about you? What do you think of Xie Tanyu?"
