The crowd erupted in uproar upon hearing the words, their voices rising and falling.
A fleeting smile flashed across Lin Ziqi's face before quickly disappearing.
Qin Siyuan really had no sense of propriety; despite admitting guilt, he still called for severe punishment for Wu Junren, only further inciting public anger.
Now, Qin Siyuan's reputation was truly ruined!
The Qin Family's connections were all his!
Suppressing the joy in his heart, he clenched his fists tightly within his sleeves, silently reminding himself to be extra cautious and prudent.
The Ninth Princess sneered sideways, "Since you have confessed, why call for severe punishment of Wu Junren, the meritorious accuser? How absurd!"
Qin Siyuan was momentarily stunned, then said, "I'm not sure what the Ninth Princess means. May I ask what crime I am accused of? Wu Junren's crime is clearly proved here, and he even admits to stealing poetry drafts, so why is he not severely punished? How am I absurd?"
