Chapter 262 Lu Huai is back? !

After getting the permission, Lin Yangyang took the little beggar out as Lin Zhiqing instructed.

Lin Zhiqing went back to the inn first to pack his luggage.

Lin Yangyang moved quickly and returned in just a cup of tea.

The two of them did not stop at all. After meeting, they rode fast horses and galloped towards Shengjing City.

After entering the city unimpeded, it was already completely dark.

The timing for Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang to return was just right. If they had returned any later, Lin Congli would probably have reported them to the police.

Although the two were out on business, they were still scolded by Lin Congli and Lin Congyan.

This is special care from the elders.

After finally dealing with the two of them, Lin Zhiqing returned to Shuqing Pavilion and immediately started to organize the information he had obtained from his trip to Yongqing.

After thinking it over, she picked up her pen and wanted to write a letter.

Aunt Mu and Chaoyan were making the bed:

"Miss, Miss Lu came here when you were away."

"Nanyue, why is she here?" Lin Zhiqing put down his pen.

Before she went to Yongqing County, she sent a letter to Lu Nanyue.

The content of the letter was that if Lu Huai returned to the Lu family, Lu Nanyue should write back to her.

Lu Nanyue came in person, could it be that Lu Huai has returned?

"I just sent some medicine for wounds, nothing else." As she said that, Aunt Mu asked Chaoyan to go to the side yard to get the medicine.

Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly.

After she came back from Bianliang, she went to the Lu family once, but she did not reveal her injury and only told others that she had caught a cold.

Even if Lu Nanyue found out that he was sick, he should have given him medicine for colds, not medicine for injuries.

She touched the mark on her neck that had faded a lot.

No one in Shengjing City knew about his injury except Aunt Mu, Lin Yangyang and the two elders of the Lin family.

As for outside the city... Lin Zhiqing's eyes lit up, and Lu Huai and Jiang Liuyun also knew!

But Jiang Liuyun would never use Lu Nanyue to send things over.

Only Lu Huai would do this!

Lu Huai is back! ?

The moment this thought arose, it was interrupted by the sudden sound of stones colliding outside the window.

Aunt Mu didn't hear it, but Lin Zhiqing did.

She took a sharp hairpin and slowly walked towards the window.

When Lin Zhiqing started studying flowers a few months ago, he planted some easy-to-survive flowers and plants in his yard.

She looked out the window carefully and except for the flowers and plants, everything seemed normal.

Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly and was about to step out to take a look when he noticed someone moving in the dark corner.

She clenched the hairpin: "Someone come..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a somewhat dark face appeared and smiled at her.

It’s Yun Feng!

Lin Zhiqing's pupils shrank.

"Miss!" Aunt Mu came over and asked, "Were you calling me just now?"

"Nothing." Lin Zhiqing coughed lightly, and Yun Feng's figure disappeared from his sight: "Aunt Mu, I'm tired today. You can go find Zhao Yan and put the medicine into the warehouse."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Aunt Mu didn't think much about it.

Not long after she left the house, Lin Zhiqing looked out the window again.

A sharp-edged face appeared in front of her, with a warm smile on his lips, and he spoke softly.

The sound didn't come over, but Lin Zhiqing could see his mouth shape.

His name is "A Qing"!

"Lu Huai, you're back?" Lin Zhiqing lowered his voice:

"It's not safe outside. If you have anything to say, come in and tell me."

Lu Huai was slightly stunned, but thinking about the purpose of his visit tonight, he did not refuse the offer to come in.

Yun Feng flipped over and jumped, hiding in the flowers to keep watch for the two of them.

After entering the room, the two looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.

Lin Zhiqing gestured for Lu Huai to sit down: "When did you come back? Are you injured?"

Lu Huai shook his head: "I just arrived in Shengjing during the day and was not injured. Yun Feng protected me very well."

He had a frank expression and did not lie.

Lin Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

"Ah Qing." Lu Huai called softly, but his eyes moved elsewhere: "Are your injuries better? I heard from the people in Hengzhang that you were unconscious for a long time."

"It's just a cold, nothing serious." Lin Zhiqing sat down at the table.

Lu Huai's eyes swept across her face, glanced at the red mark on her neck, and then moved away without leaving a trace: "I got the things back."

As he spoke, he took out the amulet and jade flute and placed them on the table.

Lin Zhiqing picked up the two things, put them to his chest, and smiled:

"Thank you very much."

"Since I promised you, I will definitely live up to your trust." Seeing her smile, Lu Huai was distracted for a moment.

Then, he frowned slightly and pursed his lips, as if he had something else to say.

Lin Zhiqing didn't ask, but guessed something in his heart and just waited quietly.

"Do you know who attacked you that day?" Lu Huai hesitated for a long time before speaking.

This is indeed the problem.

Lin Zhiqing held the jade flute tightly. "Lu Huai, you should know who he is, right?"

Although she was asking a question, she used an affirmative tone.

Seeing that Lin Zhiqing didn't look sad or aggrieved at all, Lu Huai's throat tightened.

"When did you realize there was something wrong with him?"

"Was it the night when I received the Lin family's seal?"

Not only did Lu Huai know that there was something wrong with Jiang Liuyun, he even guessed the time when Lin Zhiqing discovered that there was something wrong with Jiang Liuyun.

He has always been very meticulous.

Lin Zhiqing nodded slightly: "Yes, it was that day."

After receiving a positive answer, all of Lu Huai's guesses came true. He felt indescribably uncomfortable, and his hands under the table slowly clenched.

He only knew that Lin Zhiqing had a hard time in the Lin family, but he was always protected by Jiang Liuyun.

Jiang Liuyun is her official fiancé.

Because of this, Lu Huai was not in a position to intervene in many matters.

He couldn't imagine what Lin Zhiqing had gone through to become so calm and composed even when faced with a catastrophe.

Just a little bit more and Lin Zhiqing would have died at the hands of Jiang Liuyun.

Heartache, regret, guilt, all kinds of emotions surged into his heart, and Lu Huai felt a dense pain in his heart.

Lin Zhiqing caught every expression and movement of his and spoke softly:

"Lu Huai, you don't have to feel guilty. This matter has nothing to do with you, and it's a good thing for me."

"If I am pleased, I will surely be heartbroken."

"But my marriage to him was originally based on profit. I'm glad I didn't end up in the backyard of the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion and become the Crown Prince's wife."

"I'm just Lin Zhiqing."

Just a few words, as pleasant as the spring breeze.

Lu Huai pondered these words over and over in his mind.

She said that if she was happy about it, she would definitely be heartbroken.

So this means... she doesn't like Jiang Liuyun?

Various thoughts were mixed in Lu Huai's mind. He lowered his head and was not aware of the feeling of relief in his heart.

Lin Zhiqing knew how to read a person's face, but she couldn't see Lu Huai's face clearly at the moment:

"Lu Huai, even if this incident hadn't happened, my marriage to the Zhenyuan Marquisate wouldn't have been possible."
