Chapter 213 Why should Yudi blame Yujue? Hehuan is not accepted by the royal family.
After sorting all this out in his mind, Lin Zhiqing calmed down.
Aunt Mu felt a little uneasy: "Miss, is there really nothing serious?"
Lin Zhiqing smiled slightly, then shook his head: "Now that Fourth Uncle has been acquitted and the Lin family is safe, what big deal can there be?"
Aunt Mu was relieved after receiving Lin Zhiqing's approval: "That's good, young lady. You have been working so hard for so long. Let me help you rest early."
The lights in Shuqing Pavilion went out quickly.
The Lin family disappeared into the night again, and it was very peaceful.
The next day, as soon as Lin Zhiqing opened his eyes and washed up, he wanted to go to Lin Shian's yard to take a look.
But as soon as she stepped out of the yard, she met Lu Huai and Lu Nanyue who came to say goodbye, as well as Lin Shian who accompanied them.
"Xiao Qing'er, this matter is over. Xiao Huai and I will not bother you any more." Lu Nanyue patted the back of Lin Zhiqing's hand:
"My father will be back soon. He kept talking about you before he left for Songhe Academy. If you have time someday, you must go see him."
"Well, okay, I will definitely come to your house someday." Lin Zhiqing agreed. Uncle Lu has also contributed a lot to the Lin family, and he should go and thank him in person.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lu Huai, but just happened to catch Lu Huai's gaze on her.
Lu Huai nodded first without saying anything.
Lin Zhiqing took out the small jade flute that Lu Huai had given her.
"Lu Huai, this flute..."
"Hey, just keep it since he gave it to you. It's yours now." Before Lin Zhiqing could finish his words, Lu Nanyue pushed the jade flute back.
Lin Zhiqing was stunned and subconsciously looked at Lu Huai.
Lu Huai had a smile on his face. He nodded and signaled Lin Zhiqing to accept it.
Lin Zhiqing stopped refusing. He really liked this flute and it might be very useful in the future.
After Lu Huai and Lu Nanyue left, Lin Shian and Lin Zhiqing returned to Shuqing Pavilion together.
Lin Zhiqing asked about the movements of the others, and Lin Shian told them one by one as if he was writing a report:
"Sister drank too much yesterday and is still asleep now."
"My eldest uncle went to the ancestral temple early. My fourth uncle must be tired these days, so he stayed at my fourth aunt's place."
"Lin Jiusi went to the warehouse, and I asked someone to follow him."
Lin Zhiqing didn't hear the name she wanted to hear. Just as she was about to ask, Lin Shian took out a letter:
"When I went to check on him this morning, Prince Jiang had already left."
"He left a letter saying that there were some problems with the Marquis of Zhenyuan and he had to rush over to deal with them."
"Gone?" Lin Zhiqing paused for a moment when he heard the news, and all kinds of thoughts came to his mind.
Could it be that he noticed the change in himself last night and guessed that Lin Zhiqing might have become suspicious of him, so he ran away?
Before Lin Zhiqing could figure this out, Lin Shian handed her a letter: "Although he left in a hurry, he did things properly. He even left a letter for you."
Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly and temporarily suppressed the doubts in her heart. She took the letter and saw the words "Qing'er's Personal Letter" written on it.
She opened the envelope without hesitation, and what caught her eye was the vigorous and powerful handwriting:
Why should the jade flute blame the jade ring? The jujube of love will never enter the homes of kings and princes.
Lin Shian took a look and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Zhiqing, Prince Jiang is thoughtful."
"He comes from a royal family. Whether you marry into the Jiang family now or in the future, in his eyes, love must take a back seat to the greater good of the country."
"He wants you not to blame him for leaving without saying goodbye. He still values you very much."
Is that so... Lin Zhiqing narrowed his eyes, quickly put the letter away after reading it, lowered his head and smiled, looking very shy: "Cousin, I understand."
Looking at Lin Zhiqing's expression, Lin Shian couldn't help but praise him:
"I've often heard that Prince Jiang is obsessed with martial arts, but now I see that he is also quite accomplished in literature."
"Please keep this letter safe. If your uncle finds out, he will definitely think you two are exchanging letters privately. Prince Jiang is indeed a rare and good man. You must pay more attention to him."
"Yes, he is indeed a good man." Lin Zhiqing smiled.
Lin Shian was thinking about something else and didn't notice the irony in Lin Zhiqing's smile.
It's ironic.
Lin Zhiqing stroked the letter paper with his fingers and reviewed the poem in his mind again.
The first time she saw this poem, she knew in her heart that Jiang Liuyun had indeed discovered the clue.
If what happened last night had not happened, Lin Zhiqing might have just regarded this poem as a confession poem.
But after last night, the nature of this poem changed.
If you look at it with different mindsets, you can see different meanings.
Every sentence in this poem carries two meanings.
The jade flute was Lin Zhiqing, because she had previously demonstrated her ability to play the jade flute when she dealt with Liu Mang.
The jade ring represents Jiang Liuyun. In Dasheng, every marquis holds a jade seal representing his status, and the marquis's son has a jade ring made from the same piece of jade as the jade seal.
Lin Shi'an's explanation of the first sentence was correct. Jiang Liuyun's intention was indeed to ask Lin Zhiqing not to resent him, but Lin Shi'an understood the target of resentment too superficially.
On the surface, the Albizia julibrissin does represent love.
But on the other hand, in the eyes of some aristocratic families, because the color of the Albizia julibrissin flowers changes under different light, they often represent prostitutes who are fickle and fickle.
Because the most taboo thing for aristocratic families is reputation, and the cassia flower in Dasheng also implies impossible feelings.
The cassia tree is not allowed to enter the homes of kings and princes.
This "royal family" must be referring to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
What Jiang Liuyun really wanted to say was that Lin Zhiqing should not resent him for what happened last night, because there is no real love among royal families.
There is no emotion, only interests.
Jiang Liuyun... Lin Zhiqing's lips curled up into a smile, without any other expression on his face.
She couldn't reveal any clues.
Because Jiang Liuyun left this poem, most likely as a test.
He was not sure what Lin Zhiqing's reaction was last night, so he wrote a poem full of profound meaning, wanting to see Lin Zhiqing's actions and reactions.
The more this happened, the more Lin Zhiqing couldn't reveal his true identity.
At least Jiang Liuyun's probing meant that he was not sure whether Lin Zhiqing had noticed anything, so he would not break off relations with the Lin family for the time being.
This poem came at the right time. It made Lin Zhiqing confirm once again that his guesses about Jiang Liuyun were correct!
Otherwise, Jiang Liuyun wouldn't have taken so much trouble to test himself.
But Jiang Liuyun could not determine Lin Zhiqing's intention through this poem because she would not alert the enemy.
Lin Zhiqing pretended to know nothing, which at least allowed the Lin family to recuperate for a while and gave himself time to prepare.
If she broke off relations with Jiang Liuyun directly, there was no telling how the Zhenyuan Marquisate would destroy the Lin family.
What Lin Zhiqing needs to do now is to take advantage of this peaceful time to collect evidence of what Jiang Liuyun had done before.
Only in this way can she take the initiative, avoid being manipulated in the future, and prevent Jiang Liuyun from attacking the Lin family again for personal gain.
Moreover, with the evidence, she might be able to get rid of Jiang Liuyun, the powerful opponent hiding in the dark.
Otherwise, there will definitely be a second and third Liu Mang appearing.
At that time, the Lin family was still not safe.
