The next day, Yan Sihan went into the palace early in the morning. Lin Jiaojiao knew about the Li family's case, which was a closed case resolved by the late emperor. Normally, there was almost no chance to reopen such a case.
However, the late emperor had long passed away, and the current young emperor was a somewhat dimwitted child. Yan Sihan had some authority in the court, but even so, it would still be a hassle to overturn a death sentence personally decided by the late emperor.
This case had been closed for over a decade, and those who had initially tried it had long been replaced or even passed away themselves. Yan Sihan wanted to reopen Li Maonian's case all those years ago because he trusted Lin Jiaojiao.
Nobody knew what Ding Fan could come up with, but Li Maonian had saved them several times, and when she had gone to see Li Maonian before, she had promised him this.
