Chapter 203: Three Powers in One! Control the Lin Family!
Even after returning to the Lin family, Lin Zhiqing still didn't get any explanation from Lu Huai.
Because there are still a lot of chores waiting for her to deal with.
Lin Zhiqing did not rush to count the Lin family property returned by the court, but went to Lin Shian's side courtyard first.
Jiang Liuyun was injured earlier, so Lin Zhiqing asked Lu Nanyue to send him back first.
His injury was also caused by the Lin family's affairs. It was reasonable for Lin Zhiqing to come and see him first.
When she and Lu Huai entered the courtyard, Lu Nanyue was sitting in the corridor decocting medicine.
Seeing Lin Zhiqing and Lu Huai, the worried look on her face suddenly turned into surprise:
"You're finally back. Aunt Mu just told me that the plan was successful. I haven't seen you, and I've been worried."
Lu Huai nodded: "Success, the Lin family has been pardoned."
"Thank God, thank God!" There were even tears in Lu Nanyue's eyes.
She knew very well how difficult it had been for Lin Zhiqing these days.
"Sister." Lu Huai asked the main question: "How is Brother Jiang?"
"Look at me, I was so excited that I forgot about the important things." Lu Nanyue pressed the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief:
"He's resting in the inner room. He shouldn't be seriously injured. You can go in and take a look."
Lu Huai nodded and took a step forward.
Lin Zhiqing fell behind. She patted Lu Nanyue's hand and then walked forward.
As Lu Huai opened the door, the two of them walked around the screen and saw Jiang Liuyun sitting by the bed.
He had already put on one shoe, as if trying to stand up.
Seeing Lin Zhiqing and Lu Huai, his eyes lit up and his expression was a little nervous: "Qing'er, you are here? How is it?"
"Don't worry, everything will go well." Lu Huai stepped forward, poured a glass of water and handed it to Jiang Liuyun.
Jiang Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiqing sat down at the table and said, "How are you? You will be on the battlefield in the future. If anything happens to this hand, I will be guilty."
"That's right. Marquis Zhenyuan will definitely come after us to settle the score." Lu Huai handed the teacup to Jiang Liuyun.
Jiang Liuyun's Adam's apple moved. He took the teacup, took a sip, and put on his other shoe neatly.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's not talk about whether my father will cause trouble for you. If this thing fails, even if this hand is broken, it is what I deserve."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Huai opened the window, intending to let in some fresh air.
The flowers on the windowsill were a little wilted, all facing towards the house. He picked up a teacup and poured some water into it:
"Your hand is very precious. If it is broken, the ladies in this city will be heartbroken."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Liuyun's face flushed instantly: "What does their heartbreak have to do with me?"
He glanced at Lin Zhiqing from time to time, as if he was afraid that Lin Zhiqing would misunderstand.
Lin Zhiqing's gaze lingered in Lu Huai's direction for a moment before he smiled softly:
"Since you have nothing to do, let's go to the front hall. My eldest uncle and fourth uncle asked me to invite you to dinner. They want to thank you in person."
Jiang Liuyun waved his hand: "This is what I should do. Besides, I also caused trouble. I don't deserve a thank you."
"What's right or wrong about this? Now that the matter is over, if you don't go, they might feel guilty about it." Lu Huai fiddled with the vase casually.
Only when he saw the flowers gathered in the middle did he clapped his hands in satisfaction.
"Lu Huai is right. You know my uncle. If you don't go, he might think you are afraid of being implicated by us." Lin Zhiqing said.
"That's absolutely not the case." Jiang Liuyun waved his hand again and stood up immediately: "Let's go over now!"
Several people quickly left the yard and walked towards the main hall.
Lin Congli and others were already waiting in the main hall.
After they chatted for a while, Lin Congyan and Fourth Aunt finally arrived.
Fourth Aunt's eyes were red, and Lin Congyan looked a little tired, but he still forced a smile when he met a few people.
Lin Zhiqing raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the couple had already had a frank talk.
Fourth Aunt certainly did not hide her transaction with Concubine Chun, otherwise, there would not be a look of regret on her face.
After Fourth Uncle sat down, he never looked at Fourth Aunt again.
Lin Zhiqing sighed silently in his heart.
No one else can interfere in the affairs between them.
When Lin Jiusi, who was standing by, saw Lin Congyan, his eyes became evasive and he almost wanted to hide his head under the table.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
Lin Congyan sighed slightly and spoke first, looking at Lin Jiusi:
"Jiusi, it's been a while since we last met. You've lost a lot of weight. Eat more vegetables."
Hearing this, Lin Jiusi looked incredulous.
Then, tears of regret and self-blame burned his eyes, making his voice tearful:
"Fourth Uncle, thank you."
Everyone present knew some inside information to a certain extent. After hearing what Lin Congyan said, they knew that he was not going to pursue the matter, which was a bit surprising.
The fourth master of the Lin family is an outstanding writer, but he cannot tolerate any flaws.
Now it seems that this incident has tempered his temper.
Seeing this, Lin Congli took the lead in picking up the wine glass. Everyone in the Lin family understood and stood up.
Lin Congyan spoke:
"Liu Yun, Lu Huai, Nan Yue, this first glass of wine is dedicated to you. The Lin family's exoneration would not have been possible without your help."
"On behalf of everyone in the Lin family, thank you." He said and drank the wine in the glass in one breath.
The same goes for other members of the Lin family.
Lin Zhiqing never drinks, so he just drank for the sake of politeness.
Lu Huai and others stood up instantly and made a few excuses.
Then, the focus of the topic shifted to Lin Zhiqing.
"Zhiqing, Fourth Uncle had many misunderstandings about you in the past. I hope you won't hold it against me." Lin Congyan didn't know whether he was happy or sad, and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Oh, Fourth Uncle, Sister Qing is so generous, how could she hold a grudge against you?" Lin Yangyang threw a peanut into her mouth:
"If she held a grudge against you, she wouldn't have saved you."
"My cousin is right." Lin Zhiqing took a sip of the wine.
It’s not that she doesn’t hate Lin Congyan. After all, there is no deep hatred between her and Lin Congyan.
Besides, she helped Lin Congyan to achieve her own goals.
One purpose is to protect the Lin family, which is also equivalent to indirectly protecting oneself.
This goal has been achieved temporarily.
As for the second one, controlling the Lin family... Lin Zhiqing knocked on the table.
Seeing that the time had come, Lin Congyan put down his wine glass, took out a token, and handed it to Lin Zhiqing:
"Zhiqing, I have been in charge of the Lin family's personnel flow over the years, all relying on this clan seal. Now I will hand it over to you."
When these words were spoken, the Lu siblings and Jiang Liuyun all looked a little surprised.
Lin Zhiqing calmly took the clan seal, on which was engraved a small character "人".
This was Lin Congyan's promise to her. If she cleared Lin Congyan's grievances and protected the Lin family, Lin Congyan would transfer his rights to Lin Zhiqing.
Before Lin Zhiqing sat down, Lin Congli also took out a clan seal:
"Zhiqing, although you have already taken charge of all the affairs of the Lin family, we still have some grudges in our hearts and have not yet taken out the clan seal."
"Now, I'll leave everything to you."
Before Lin Zhiqing could take the seal with the word "Fa" engraved on it, Lin Jiusi also stood up.
"Before I came to Shengjing, my grandfather told me that if I could still survive, I would give this to you."
In his hand was also a clan seal with the word "wealth" engraved on it.
"People" represents the personnel rights of the Lin family.
"Law" represents the Lin family's legislative rights.
"Wealth" represents the financial power of the Lin family.
Lin Zhiqing took the three sect seals.
"From now on, I am the head of the Lin family. Please follow me and climb to the top of the mountain!"
