Chapter 219 Visitors
"Go?" Realizing that Lin Zhiqing was serious, Lin Shian closed the account book and said, "I'm afraid this isn't appropriate."
"Yunnan is very far from Shengjing City. Besides, the Lin family's land in Yunnan is of little use and the yield is not high."
"Cousin, don't worry." Lin Zhiqing slowly found the deed to the hundred-acre land in Yunnan.
"Just go over there and take a look for me. If some of my ideas aren't feasible, you can come back and discuss it with me."
"I just want to give the Lin family another option."
"If you don't want to, I can go there in person some other day."
"No! How long have you been free now? Why do you have to travel again?" Lin Shian straightened up unconsciously.
"If we're always idle, what will all these people eat and drink?" Lin Zhiqing smiled slightly.
"Cousin, the Lin family is in the capital. Besides this mansion, is there any other place for them to stay?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all of Lin Shian's words were instantly blocked.
The shelter that Lin Zhiqing mentioned is not only a place to live, but also a space for outward development.
All of the Lin family’s shops in Shengjing City are closed.
Although Lin Congyan has now been acquitted, the situation of the Lin family is still not optimistic.
Merchants are actually the most sensitive to reactions, and most people can see the royal family's attitude towards the Lin family.
Who would dare to cooperate with the Lin family, who keep getting into trouble and are like a time bomb?
The Lin family has long lost the qualifications to lick the fat piece of meat in Shengjing City.
If they still want to eat meat, they can only find other places.
Lin Shian understood this, but he still had doubts: "If that's the case, then Bianliang is not an option?"
"Compared to Yunnan, Bianliang has the old marquis in charge, and the Lin family has more fields and shops than in Yunnan. Why not go to Bianliang?"
Lin Zhiqing didn't even raise his head, but lightly tapped the deed in his hand: "Did I ever say I wouldn't go to Bianliang?"
Lin Shi'an was stunned, then he realized instantly that Lin Zhiqing wanted to investigate both places at the same time, and then choose one or develop both at the same time.
This speed is a bit too fast... He looked at Lin Zhiqing, but did not see any other emotions on Lin Zhiqing's face.
Lin Zhiqing picked out all the land deeds in Yunnan and placed them on the table:
"Cousin, since you won't go, I'll leave tomorrow."
Lin Shian sighed softly: "You know very well that I can't bear to let you..."
He stopped talking halfway through.
Lin Zhiqing smiled: "Cousin, if you trust me, you should understand that everything I do is for the Lin family."
"Of course I trust you." Lin Shi'an gathered the deeds in front of him and said, "Don't worry, I'll leave tomorrow. You'll have to keep an eye on the Lin family."
"I will." Lin Zhiqing nodded lightly, but Lin Shian could see the seriousness in it.
"Tell me honestly, I won't be able to come back for more than a month." He collected all the deeds.
"My cousin is really smart." Lin Zhiqing smiled, and it was obvious that he had already thought about what to do next.
"You!" Lin Shian couldn't help but smile: "As long as you have an idea in mind, I will stand behind you no matter what."
"In that case, I will go back and pack my luggage. If you have anything to tell me, please come and find me."
Now that the matter has been settled, Lin Shian is not going to waste any more time.
"Yeah." Lin Zhiqing nodded, and then as if he remembered something, he spoke again: "Cousin!"
"Huh?" Lin Shi'an turned around and looked at Lin Zhiqing, looking puzzled.
"When you are away from home, don't trust even the closest people." Lin Zhiqing couldn't directly tell Lin Shian to be wary of Jiang Liuyun, so he could only warn him indirectly in this way.
"I remember it." Lin Shian nodded.
Because of his relationship with the Lin family, he didn't have many friends. Counting on his fingers, only Jiang Liuyun could be considered his close friend.
So he didn't think too much about it and just took Lin Zhiqing's words as ordinary advice.
Watching Lin Shian walk out of the room, Lin Zhiqing withdrew his gaze.
She had just opened the account book when Aunt Mu walked in quietly:
"Miss, Miss Bai has sent another invitation. She's just outside the door."
"Are you still rejecting me like you did the last time?"
Lin Zhiqing's hand paused slightly, then he stood up slowly and said, "No need, have someone take her to the main hall, I'll be there later."
Aunt Mu took the order and left.
When Lin Zhiqing arrived at the main hall, Bai Ling had already been sitting there for a while.
Seeing Lin Zhiqing's figure, she turned her head slightly and said, "Oh, those who know would think that Miss Lin is busy with affairs, while those who don't would think that you don't welcome me."
"What do you mean?" Lin Zhiqing sat on the main seat with a smile on his face.
"I've sent you so many offers before, but you rejected them all. It's simply because you look down on me." Bai Ling's words were not polite at all.
Lin Zhiqing did reject her several times, but Miss Bai was just too stubborn.
"You also know the previous situation of the Lin family. It's difficult for them to protect themselves, so how can they involve you?" Lin Zhiqing explained patiently.
The reason is simple. Ever since the incident involving Fourth Uncle became public, Bai Ling has been the only one who has sent a letter to the Lin family.
This person is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. He wants to help Lin Zhiqing, but he is just harsh in his words.
But Lin Zhiqing has always been very clear-headed. She cured Bai Ling's eyes, and Minister Bai helped her settle the shop business.
In Lin Zhiqing's eyes, she and the Bai family were cleared of all ties.
If Bai Ling is forced into this, I'm afraid I'll become an enemy of Minister Bai.
It was also because Lin Zhiqing repeatedly rejected Bai Ling and did not involve her in the Lin family's affairs.
That's why Minister Bai secretly sent a letter to Lin Zhiqing, saying that he could help a little.
Lin Zhiqing never intended to repay a favor, but the situation was indeed not optimistic at the time, so she asked Minister Bai to deliver a letter to Liu Mang.
The purpose was to make Liu Mang associate Minister Bai with himself.
Only in this way, with Liu Mang's suspicious character, would he think that Lin Zhiqing was indeed well prepared and then go out early.
Only if he left early could he leave enough time for those checkpoints, and then get to the point where Liu Mang could tell the truth before his fourth uncle was beheaded.
A post from Minister Bai has already helped Lin Zhiqing a lot.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing didn't say much.
Bai Ling just spoke harshly, and she was not unaware of the reason why Lin Zhiqing rejected her.
She was angry for a while, but when she saw that Lin Zhiqing didn't respond, she became a little discouraged: "You don't know, during that time, people outside said that the Lin family was going to fall."
"But I always feel that the Lin family will not fall. It would be a pity if someone like you were ruined by the Lin family."
