When Liang Lu went to pick up the snow-covered Ling Li at the door, Su Jingyang was still sitting on the stool in a daze because of the news. It wasn't until Ling Li got close to gently call his name that he suddenly stood up, "Ah-Li, you're here!" Su Jingyang raised his sleeves and swept the snow off his black hair, putting a cup of hot tea in his hands and letting him sit down to rest for a while.

Ling Li had no intention of drinking tea or sitting at all at this time. He put the teacup on the tea table next to him and grabbed Su Jingyang's hand, asking urgently: "Jingyang, I heard from young master Liang, Hao Jiasheng's dead?"

Su Jingyang nodded solemnly, "Yeah, I didn't expect it." He was actually really annoyed at that family, but when the other party really died, his heart was still messed up and felt uncomfortable. It was still a young life after all.

Ling Li suddenly panicked: "What should you do then, will this..."

Seeing Ling Li's face pale, Su Jingyang knew that he was thinking of the past, so he rushed to comfort him, and looked at him softly, "Ah-Li, don't worry about it anymore. Someone definitely saw it at the time, we'll find them to prove that I didn't push anyone, I'll definitely be fine."

Liang Lu also said on the side, "Yes, don't worry about it. As long as I'm still here Su Jingyang won't be wronged in vain."

Ling Li bit his lower lip and suddenly turned towards Liang Lu's direction. He took out his purse and stuffed it towards Liang Lu. Liang Lu was stunned by his actions, Ling Li pleaded with his eyes: "Young master Liang, I humbly ask for your help, we mustn't let Jingyang be wrongly accused."

Liang Lu couldn't help but smile, he sighed softly and shook off Ling Li's hand, returning the purse and repeatedly assuring him that he would help Su Jingyang even without these, Ling Li took it back with an uneasy expression.

At just this time, an officer summoned Su Jingyang to court. Su Jingyang took Ling Li, who became nervous again, and sat down with him. He shook his hand and said to him: "I need to go, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Su Jingyang really came back soon, because old lady Hao fainted and fell to the ground, she was sent back to the hospital after hearing the bad news in court. Su Jingyang verified a few things and went home directly with Ling Li. If a witness could be found tomorrow, Su Jingyang would need to come again.

While they were eating dinner, Rong Hua suddenly came to visit in the snow. She was already familiar with the road, and even without Ling Li's guidance, she ran to the kitchen to help with the dishes and ate with them at the table.

She quickly realized that Ling Li was in low spirits and immediately asked Su Jingyang what was going on. Su Jingyang told Rong Hua what had happened, Rong Hua bit her chopsticks and pursed her lips, glancing at Su Jingyang and then Ling Li while saying: "It's normal to be worried. If it doesn't work, just let Jingyang marry into Rongcheng, naturally, someone will protect him there."

A certain sensitive spot of Su Jingyang was poked, his eyes soon widened and he stuttered, "What marry? I don't want to!!"

"Why not, marry our City Lord, how nice would it be to be the City Lord's wife? Didn't you say that you liked him before?" Rong Hua knocked on the table. "Isn't that what you said?"

"I did say that, but I won't marry him because I'll..."

Ling Li, who was silent next to him, trembled uncontrollably. After a moment, he quickly lowered his head to eat to conceal it, Su Jingyang was still busy firing shots with his mouth.

Rong Hua felt that it was strange, persistently questioning: "Who knows what will happen in the future?"

Ling Li suddenly retracted his chopsticks and took away his bowl, softly saying: "Don't talk anymore, eat fast or the food will turn cold,"

"Alright, I'll listen to Ah-Li and eat first." Rong Hua smiled obediently and started eating intently, not talking to Su Jingyang anymore. But there seemed to be some careful thoughts secretly brewing in those eyes.

Ling Li originally wanted Rong Hua to stay overnight after the meal. It was snowing outside and was dark, Ling Li was afraid that a young girl like her would meet danger when going back. In fact, Rong Hua wanted to stay and sleep with Ling Li, but because of a small plan, she couldn't cuddle up with Ling Li and reluctantly left in the end.

Ling Li and Su Jingyang stood at the door, watching the gorgeous red figure disappear from sight, they then closed the gate and walked back.

Su Jingyang asked the question that had been brewing for a long time: "Ah-Li, do you think Murong's one of your lost relatives?"

No matter how he looked at it, she was extremely close to Ling Li and seemed to rely heavily on him. She obviously has a bad temper, but in front of Ling Li, she liked to act like a baby, full of childishness. Su Jingyang could only come up with the conclusion that Lingl Li must be her elder in some respect. In addition, Ling Li's early life experience wasn't clear, Su Jingyang felt that his suspicion was well-founded.

Ling Li thought for a while and shook his head, "It shouldn't be. I know from my father that my biological parents shouldn't be from Rongcheng."

Su Jingyang murmured, "Perhaps, there were one of the many people in Rongcheng back then that married a foreigner and never went back? If we could find your relatives, I'll feel more at ease."

Ling Li paused slightly when he heard his words. Su Jingyang truly hoped that he could find his relatives, so he said to him again: "When Murong comes next time, Ah-Li can ask her about it." Ling Li hummed and agreed with a few words.

Liang Lu drove a carriage to pick up Su Jingyang early the next morning. Ling Li wanted to go with him but Su Jingyang said, "It's cold and the road is slippery, you shouldn't open Lin Ji pavilion temporarily. Ah-Li, just wait at home for Ah-Xuan's return." If there weren't any delays, Ah-Xuan would probably be back tonight.

Liang Lu found several witnesses, it sufficiently proved that it wasn't Su Jingyang who pushed them. At this time, he breezed through the case, provided credentials several times and went home. Ling Li was a little relieved and stayed at home after listening to Su Jingyang's words.

When they hurriedly hurried to the government office, several officials were gathered into a huddle while talking about something. Their tone was quite disbeliving, Su Jingyang was puzzled and was about to lean over to listen to them.

There was one who was very familiar with Liang Lu. When he turned his head and saw them, he ran to them with eyes wide and a very excited tone. He told them: "Master Liang, you know, that Hao Jiasheng, h-h-he— he came back to life! ! !"

Liang Lu was stunned: "... What????!"

Su Jingyang only felt that thunder seemed to have struck him, his whole body began to get goosebumps. Came back to life? ? Damn, what's happening right now? ? ?

After listening to the officer's account, he realized that Hao Jiasheng, who had already stopped breathing, recovered his pulse and body temperature in the middle of the night last night, when he woke up the next morning, he could speak freely! He spoke without slurring, his mind was clear, although his body was still a little weak and needed to adjust slowly. The doctor in the hospital explained that maybe his body was in a state of suspended animation before, he had an unwilling soul and strong willpower, so he came back alive.

More importantly, Hao Jiasheng admitted that he slipped and fell into the water and that it had nothing to do with Su Jingyang. Su Jingyang was completely free of suspicion, he didn't even need to do anything anymore, he could leave directly.

Su Jingyang still felt like he was dreaming when he walked out of the door of the government office, Liang Lu also looked thoughtful and silent. Su Jingyang pulled Liang Lu's sleeve, "Why... let's go and have a look."

Liang Lu glanced at him and agreed, "I was just about to say the same thing."
