Chapter 231 Unheard of, Unseen
Lin Jingya couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the bandits she met on the way here.
Every word Lin Zhiqing said subverted her cognition.
What do you mean if I hadn't been locked up, I would have died long ago?
"Lin Zhiqing, stop playing dumb and explain it to me clearly!" Lin Jingya was a little anxious.
Lin Zhiqing took a sip of tea slowly and said, "Sister Jingya, someone wants to kill you."
"Except you, who else would be so deliberate in dealing with me?" Lin Jingya obviously didn't believe it.
"Oh." Lin Zhiqing couldn't help but shook his head: "Sister Jingya, I pity you because you are young, so I didn't let you see it before."
"Think about it carefully. When have I ever dealt with you?"
"We, the Lin family, prosper together and suffer together."
"I won't be so stupid as to point the knife at my own family."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Jingya's face instantly turned hot.
Everyone knows who is pointing the knife at their own family.
This was almost like pointing at Lin Jingya's nose and scolding her.
Lin Jingya was a little speechless and slowly sat down.
After hearing this, Lin Qingshan couldn't help but nodded in his heart.
Prosperity and adversity are shared by all, which is indeed the way of survival for aristocratic families.
However, Lin Zhiqing had not yet finished speaking:
"Sister Jingya, if you push me too far, I might do something, so you'd better be quiet and tell me everything you know."
"Where did you hear that my cousin was going to the Spring Banquet?"
"And how did you know that there was a portrait of my mother hanging in Fourth Uncle's study?"
"Besides you, who else was involved in the murder of my cousin and then blaming me?"
Three questions in a row, all of them are on point.
Lin Zhiqing knew that his attitude might make Lin Jingya feel resistant, but no matter who was behind everything, the original owner had been severely tricked by Lin Jingya.
In order to survive, she couldn't argue with Lin Jingya and ask her to pay for her life.
But now Lin Zhiqing can.
But in order to find out the culprit behind this, Jiang Liuyun, Lin Jingya's life must be saved.
Lin Zhiqing had no patience.
If Lin Jingya continues to be arrogant and confuses right and wrong, she doesn't mind using some tricks.
Lin Jingya seemed to see the anger in her eyes, and her voice gradually lowered:
"This matter has long been resolved. I have already been punished. There was no other conspiracy."
Lin Qingshan immediately realized that there was something wrong with what he said.
Lin Zhiqing's mind was even clearer.
If there really was nothing fishy as Lin Jingya said, then she would definitely not have answered so quickly.
An answer spoken without thinking is most likely a lie that has been brewing in the mind for a long time.
"It seems that Sister Jingya is not kept in the dark as I thought, but has colluded with the murderer behind the scenes!" Lin Zhiqing's voice was soft, but his words were full of aggressiveness.
When will the murderer give up the opportunity to overturn his own verdict?
The first possibility is that she herself is the murderer, and there is no way to argue with it.
The second possibility is that she had some compelling reason to cover up for others.
Lin Jingya is a person with high aspirations, but she is not smart enough.
The murderer had used the rhinoceros-skin lacquer teacup and azalea to set up a trap, one thing after another, and his methods were very clever.
It is unlikely that someone as emotional as Lin Jingya could come up with such a clever idea.
Moreover, both the rhinoceros-skin lacquer teacup and the azalea were things that Lin Congyan obtained under the influence of other people's words.
How could Lin Jingya spend so much time and effort on these two things on normal days?
In all likelihood, Lin Jingya was being used as a pawn.
And she probably knew it herself.
Only in this way will she cover up for others instead of seeking the truth.
Lin Jingya still held her neck high: "I don't understand what you are saying."
"Jingya, if you know the truth but don't report it, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in Bianliang." Lin Qingshan had already guessed what Lin Jingya was thinking.
Since this matter concerns the Lin family, how could he stand idly by?
Lin Jingya's eyes shuttled back and forth between Lin Zhiqing and Lin Qingshan, tears welling up in her eyes again:
"Grandfather, are you going to join her in forcing me?"
Seeing that she was about to cry, Lin Zhiqing felt annoyed.
She stood up and planned to go out directly.
But when passing by Lin Jingya, he accidentally bumped into her.
Lin Jingya didn't hold the copy steady for a moment, and it fell to the ground in an instant.
Lin Zhiqing squatted down to pick it up, but Lin Jingya seemed to have been stepped on the tail, and quickly bent down and picked up the book.
She paused her fingertips, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up, and she looked at Lin Jingya with interest.
Lin Jingya looked at her, her eyes showing some panic, but she pretended to be calm and looked away.
Lin Zhiqing didn't say much and walked out of the courtyard with Lin Qingshan.
Just before the courtyard gate closed, she suddenly turned around and found Lin Jingya still standing by the stone table, holding the copy of "Romance of the West Chamber" tightly in her hands.
Lin Zhiqing frowned and said nothing as he returned to the main hall.
Lin Qingshan sighed softly: "Your fourth uncle has been very smart since he was a child, but he is a little weak."
"I finally got a daughter like this, but I never taught her well."
"Now I see, they say nephews resemble their uncles. Jingya's personality is like your uncle, very stubborn."
"Zhiqing dare not speak ill of his elders." Lin Zhiqing spoke without making any mistakes.
Lin Qingshan patted Lin Zhiqing on the shoulder and said, "Qing girl, Bianliang is not like Shengjing. I can't guarantee anything else, but it's okay to talk to my granddaughter."
"You don't have to be restrained if you want to say or do what you want to do."
"Grandfather, if that's the case, I do have a favor to ask of you." Lin Zhiqing was not polite.
Lin Qingshan suddenly smiled happily: "What is it? If it has something to do with Jingya, just go ahead and do it."
Lin Zhiqing was not surprised. Anyone with a brain could tell something was wrong in Lin Jingya's words.
"Grandfather, you mentioned in your previous letter that you wanted to hear about the subtleties of the science of mind-judging." Lin Zhiqing had a faint smile on his face, which was completely different from his previous seriousness.
"Yes, I have never heard of or seen such a thing as the study of the mind, and I am quite curious." Lin Qingshan was very interested in words like "dream" and "hypnosis".
Because this is something beyond his understanding.
Lin Zhiqing recalled the furnishings in Lin Jingya's yard and had a plan in mind: "Grandfather, don't go to bed tonight. I need some things."
"You tell me, I'll send someone down to prepare." Lin Qingshan rubbed his hands impatiently, more excited than ever before going to the battlefield.
Lin Zhiqing lowered his voice: "Find some storybooks, make sure there are a lot, and prepare a piano, and..."
Lin Qingshan's expression became more and more strange. He had never seen these things in the letters, and they seemed to have nothing in common with mathematics and medicine.
Lin Zhiqing just smiled and said nothing.
