Chapter 161 Knowing People and Their Faces
"Xiao Qing'er, remember what you said. If my clinic closes in the future, I will definitely extort a large sum of money from you." Lu Nanyue said in a joking tone.
"No problem." Lin Zhiqing said without hesitation.
Before this operation, there was no one in the carriage whom she completely trusted.
Including cousins.
Firstly, although the Lin family has leaks everywhere, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and at least it still has the title of a marquisate.
What Lin Zhiqing distrusts most is human nature. Some people will do anything for power.
As one of the few people in the Lin family who can take responsibility, Lin Zhiqing is not sure whether Lin Shian and Lin Yangyang have any ideas about fighting for the Lin family.
Secondly, they may treat you nicely on the surface, but you can’t judge a person by his appearance.
Precisely because Lin Zhiqing is well versed in psychology, he will not let down his guard just because of one or two expressions or actions.
Because people are very changeable, expressions and actions can be faked.
Because she was always suspicious of her cousins, she left two letters in advance, hoping to take this opportunity to test them.
The contents of the two letters were actually the same, simply instructing Lin Yangyang and Lin Shian to meet her at the street market outside Liu's mansion.
Before coming here, Lin Zhiqing had already made psychological assumptions for himself.
If someone calls his name, he will wake up from the hypnotic state.
In Liu's study, Wangshujian played this role.
Lin Yangyang and Lin Shian, who were waiting outside Liu's house, also played this role.
Although Lin Zhiqing was able to get rid of the hypnotic state on his own at that time, the appearance of his cousins was still necessary.
At least Lin Zhiqing now knows that the two of them have no selfish motives and are truly wholeheartedly for the Lin family and are willing to come to support him.
After all, if he couldn't leave the Liu family and his fourth uncle couldn't be saved, then the Lin family would only have the Lin Congli lineage.
This is of great benefit to cousins.
If they come up with another scheme to kill their own relatives for the sake of justice, the Lin family might still be able to survive, and all the power of the Lin family will be owned by Lin Congli, Lin Yangyang and Lin Shian.
Of course, this is just a guess.
And now it seems that Lin Yangyang and Lin Shian are wholeheartedly helping me in order to save my fourth uncle.
At least now, Lin Zhiqing can trust them.
"Sister Qing, please tell me, does the letter say 'Spring sleep does not know the dawn' or 'The bright moon shines before the bed'?" Lin Yangyang glared at Lin Shian.
"Poetry? What poem?" Lu Nanyue asked curiously while applying some medicine on Jiang Liuyun's wound.
Jiang Liuyun and Lu Huai also looked at Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Shian shrugged helplessly and recited the two lines of poetry left by Lin Zhiqing.
After he knew that Lin Zhiqing had written two different poems, he actually had some guesses in his mind.
But he wanted to hear Lin Zhiqing's reasons in person.
Lin Zhiqing was more honest than he had imagined.
"Cousin, cousin, entering and leaving the Lin family this time is a very dangerous matter." Lin Zhiqing slowly recited the two poems in full:
“The reason these two poems are different is because I wanted to leave two more options open.”
"If you, cousin, have something important to do and can't come, then it's fine for me to come, and vice versa."
"If I really have something to do, I can use these two different poems to distinguish you and pass on the message."
After all, there were several people outside the Lin family in the carriage. Even if they had a close relationship, Lin Zhiqing couldn't say such discouraging words as that he didn't trust his cousins.
So I had to change the way I said it.
"I see." Lin Yangyang nodded. "Use a different codeword next time. I hate these poems and lyrics the most. They give me a headache."
"Okay." Lin Zhiqing curled the corners of his mouth.
Lin Shian remained silent.
Lin Yangyang didn't hear it, but he did.
It was obvious that his cousin did not trust them, so she came up with a secret code to test them.
He knew that Lin Zhiqing could speak frankly now because he trusted them.
But the feeling of not being trusted before still bothered him.
As if he had seen through Lin Shian's thoughts, Lin Zhiqing spoke again: "Special circumstances call for special measures. I hope my cousin and sister can understand me."
"What's so hard to understand?" Lin Yangyang waved her hand.
Lin Zhiqing looked at Lin Shian, who pursed his lips and remained silent for a while.
Seeing this, Lu Huai said:
"Spring sleep does not wake you up until dawn."
"You can hear birds singing everywhere."
"The sound of wind and rain at night."
"How many flowers have fallen?"
"Good poem. Although it is simple, it is very charming when you savor it carefully."
"Especially that line about the sound of wind and rain at night. It reminds me of the three days a few months ago when Zhiqing was falsely accused of poisoning Miss Lin."
When Lu Huai mentioned this, the thoughtful Lu Nanyue understood what he meant and immediately took up the conversation:
"Xiao Huai, now that you mention it, I remember it."
"The weather was not good those days. It rained heavily, but there was not even a charcoal fire in Xiaoqing'er's house. I caught a cold."
Jiang Liuyun also remembered: "It did rain heavily those days, and it only cleared up after the truth was revealed."
Several people talked one after another, and instantly exposed Lin Zhiqing's isolated and helpless situation at that time.
Lin Shian felt a little ashamed for a moment.
Lin Zhiqing had a hard time in the Lin family before and almost lost his life.
At that time, I believed the rumors and did not lend a helping hand.
Now Lin Zhiqing has his reasons for doubting himself.
He had no right to blame Lin Zhiqing.
"Zhiqing, you have worked hard these days." There was a hint of regret and heartache in Lin Shian's eyes.
He regretted that he had not seen through the true colors of those people in the Lin family earlier and had misunderstood his cousin.
I also feel sorry for everything my cousin has done for the Lin family in recent days.
Lin Zhiqing smiled slightly: "Cousin, thank you and cousin for your hard work."
Ever since his fourth uncle got into trouble, Lin Zhiqing could see that his cousins were trying hard to share some of the burden with him.
She wasn't fighting alone.
Lin Shian smiled knowingly, and the resentment caused by being suspected in his heart had disappeared.
Lin Zhiqing glanced at Lu Huai again. She could tell that Lu Huai was trying to help her out just now.
Lu Huai deliberately mentioned that she was framed, simply to arouse his cousin's guilt.
I have to say that this trick is very useful and it really saved her a lot of trouble.
As if sensing Lin Zhiqing's gaze, Lu Huai also looked at her and blinked, as if to say, "You're welcome."
Lin Zhiqing curled the corners of his lips and looked away.
…
"Alright!" In just a few words, Lu Nanyue had bandaged Jiang Liuyun's wound: "Are you feeling any other discomfort?"
"I'm thick-skinned, so it's nothing serious." Jiang Liuyun shook his head and looked at Lin Zhiqing:
"Qing'er, what are you going to do next?"
How to do it?
Lin Zhiqing lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and the soft morning light fell on her face.
They still had two and a half days.
"You two should rest well at the Lin family first." Lin Zhiqing already had a plan in mind: "After daybreak, I will go to the Dali Temple with my uncle."
