Chapter 230 The winner is the king, the loser is the enemy
"Grandfather, please ask Sister Jingya to come out. I have some questions for her." Lin Zhiqing went straight to the point.
Lin Qingshan didn't hesitate at all. He stood up and took Lin Zhiqing to the backyard.
The two of them only exchanged a few words, but they already had a preliminary understanding of each other's thoughts.
At least in Lin Zhiqing's heart, Lin Qingshan is a very wise person.
He also didn't want to give up the Lin family.
As long as this is there, it is enough.
In just a cup of tea, Lin Zhiqing stood in front of a courtyard that looked very small.
There were many people guarding the area around the yard.
Lin Qingshan sighed slightly: "Qing girl, I also want to release her, but she really doesn't understand the situation."
"Your fourth uncle and aunt are too spoiled with her."
"I understand." Lin Zhiqing said in a steady tone.
Then she stepped forward and opened the gate.
In the yard, Lin Jingya was holding a book in her hand, her eyes full of sorrow.
Hearing the door open, she subconsciously turned her head.
Seeing Lin Jingya again, Lin Zhiqing felt quite complicated.
Lin Jingya was obviously more excited.
She stood up quickly, and the book in her hand fell to the ground, covered with dust.
"You...why are you?" she murmured.
After Lin Zhiqing and Lin Qingshan walked into the yard, the gate was closed again.
Lin Zhiqing walked slowly forward and picked up the copy of "Romance of the West Chamber" on the ground.
Noticing Lin Zhiqing's actions, Lin Jingya's face turned pale and she quickly snatched the book back:
"Lin Zhiqing, what on earth do you want to do? Isn't it enough that you brought me to Bianliang?"
"Sister Jingya, I'm afraid you've forgotten that it was you who framed me and my cousin that day." Lin Zhiqing's expression remained calm.
"Grandfather is here today, and I think he wouldn't mind reliving what happened back then."
Lin Qingshan nodded.
Lin Jingya gritted her teeth, but didn't dare to say anything more. After all, she was in the wrong.
She turned around and walked away with the book in her arms, wanting to go back to her room.
"Wait." Lin Zhiqing certainly wouldn't let her go.
Lin Jingya frowned and turned to look at Lin Zhiqing:
"The winner is the king, the loser is the enemy. You know my current situation, and you must have seen enough of my jokes."
"I do feel relieved." Lin Zhiqing sat down on the stone table under the tree and did not forget to make a cup of tea for Lin Qingshan.
Hearing this, Lin Jingya was furious: "You, the daughter of a traitor..."
With a "bang", Lin Qingshan put the teacup down heavily.
Lin Jingya was startled and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Lin Zhiqing looked at the teacup with the tea shaking slightly, his eyes deep.
Why was Lin Qingshan so excited when talking about his father?
Is it contempt? Or is there something else going on?
But now is not the time to talk about this.
Lin Zhiqing shifted his gaze from the teacup to the copy of "Romance of the West Chamber" in Lin Jingya's arms.
As if she had noticed Lin Zhiqing's gaze, Lin Jingya stepped back and placed the book against her chest in a hugging position.
This is a defensive posture. Lin Jingya does not trust Lin Zhiqing and Lin Qingshan.
She leaned towards the room, and her displeasure at Lin Zhiqing's gaze was obvious.
She's protecting that book!
After figuring out what was going on, Lin Zhiqing pointed to the stone bench beside him:
"Sister Jingya, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Why don't we sit down and catch up?"
Just as Lin Jingya was about to refuse, she felt the pressure from Lin Qingshan.
Although she was dissatisfied in her heart, she had to bow her head because she was under someone else's roof.
So she took two steps at a time and sat on the stone bench to the right of Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing noticed that Lin Jingya hid the copy of "Romance of the West Chamber" behind her back and was very cautious.
She did not object.
"Sister Jingya, you kept saying that the reason you murdered your cousin was because she could go to the Spring Banquet and you couldn't. Is that true?" Lin Zhiqing got straight to the point.
Lin Jingya seemed a little slow to react. Finally, her eyes drooped and her lips pursed tightly: "So what?"
Lin Zhiqing nodded and spoke again: "Where did you get this information?"
Lin Jingya frowned slightly: "Why are you asking me this?"
"Sister Jingya, I don't have much patience. If you know what's good for you, just cooperate with me and avoid the physical pain." Lin Zhiqing was blunt.
Hearing this, Lin Jingya slammed the table and stood up: "How dare you threaten me?"
As she spoke, she looked at Lin Qingshan again, her eyes filled with tears:
"Grandfather, Lin Zhiqing..."
"According to family rules, you should call her cousin." Lin Qingshan frowned.
Hearing this, Lin Jingya's face was full of disbelief.
Lin Zhiqing raised his eyebrows. Lin Qingshan and he were indeed on the same side. His words clearly tacitly approved of his approach.
In this case, I won’t be able to avoid Lin Qingshan later.
Otherwise, the subsequent matters might be a bit tricky if Lin Zhiqing were to handle them alone.
"You are all in the same group, bullying my father for being neither high nor low, and bullying my mother for being a merchant!" Lin Jingya's emotions were very unstable:
"I am also a member of the Lin family, Grandfather. How dare you help a criminal... Lin Zhiqing to humiliate me?"
"How does this involve your parents?" Lin Qingshan was very unhappy:
"Your father is a man of both talent and beauty, a man of extraordinary talent. Your mother is gentle and open-minded, and she dotes on you very much."
"Who taught you what you just said? Or did you come up with it on your own?"
"Jingya, who allowed you to disrespect your parents?"
These three sentences made Lin Jingya fall into silence, with only sobs lingering in her ears.
This was the first time Lin Zhiqing had seen the old marquis angry since arriving in Bianliang.
It has to be said that Lin Congli's usual state is somewhat similar to the old marquis' state just now.
They are indeed father and son!
After Lin Zhiqing sighed, he immediately became serious:
"I didn't come here today to waste my time with you. You are surrounded by dangers. If I don't speak up now, I'm afraid I will never be able to speak up in the future."
Hearing this, Lin Jingya stopped sobbing:
"What do you mean by that?"
"Literally." Lin Zhiqing pointed at the person outside the door:
"Do you know why you have so many people around your yard?"
Lin Jingya's voice was still tinged with tears: "Why else? You're just afraid that I'll take advantage of the chaos and escape, bringing shame to the Lin family!"
Hearing this, Lin Qingshan frowned, and Lin Zhiqing couldn't help but shook his head:
"Sister Jingya, you are still so confused. If Grandfather hadn't locked you up, you would have died long ago."
"When I sent you to Bianliang, I heard that some problems occurred along the way, but it was only because my grandfather's people picked you up in time. Is that true?"
Lin Zhiqing looked at Lin Qingshan.
She seemed to be asking questions, but in fact she was looking for questions with answers.
If you don’t know about it in advance, who would pay attention to these details?
Lin Qingshan nodded: "Yes, it is true."
