Chapter 278 Tears
"Why are you saying this? Just take a look." Lu Huai raised his chin towards the list.
Even though Lin Zhiqing didn't say anything and acted the same as usual, Lu Huai knew that she was very upset.
Lin Zhiqing's hand tightly holding the list also confirmed his thoughts.
He looked at the sky silently and didn't say much.
On the side, Lin Zhiqing looked at the list quietly.
Time, place, people, identity, all this information is clearly listed on the list.
Those who knew martial arts were marked out by Lu Huai, and their shoe prints were recorded in the book.
After flipping through the pages for a while, Lin Zhiqing's eyes fell on several names circled in red ink.
Seeing that she had almost finished reading, Lu Huai spoke:
"I have questioned the people circled in red. Their shoe prints do match the one left at the scene, and the information matches."
"But as for whether it's related to Aunt Mu's matter, I'm not sure. They are all protected by my men, so their safety shouldn't be a problem."
"You have the ability to see the big picture from the small details, and this matter still requires your intervention."
Lu Huai was very meticulous in his work, and in just a few words, he explained the entire situation clearly.
Lin Zhiqing nodded slightly: "Let's go and take a look now."
Having said that, she stood up immediately.
But when she turned around, Lu Huai grabbed her wrist.
Lin Zhiqing was stunned and turned to look at Lu Huai.
Lu Huai sighed: "A Qing, I did these things to find out the truth about Aunt Mu's murder, and also to cheer you up."
"You are not in a suitable state to investigate this matter now."
Lin Zhiqing's hand trembled slightly. Even through the cloth, she could feel the warmth coming from Lu Huai's palm.
She said softly, "I'm in good shape."
"No, it's not good." Lu Huai shook his head: "Your heart is in turmoil."
Since the moment he learned the news of Aunt Mu's death, Lin Zhiqing has always remained calm.
At least that's how it looks to other people.
But Lu Huai knew Lin Zhiqing very well.
If Lin Zhiqing was really as calm as she appeared, she should be looking for clues everywhere and paying close attention to the situation in the court.
But apart from paying attention to the movements of some ministers, she hardly ever left the Lin family, let alone grasp any clues.
In this state, even if I meet those people, I probably won’t be able to dig up many clues.
Lin Zhiqing took a deep breath, turned around and sat on the ground.
She opened her mouth, clearly wanting to say something, but after a while, she just looked up at the sky:
"The night is beautiful tonight. I haven't looked at the sky carefully for a long time."
Lu Huai let go of her hand and didn't say anything else. He simply continued her words:
"You used to love this place so much that you often asked my sister to come here to play because you said the stars here were so bright."
"But my sister wouldn't dare to climb that high, and you wouldn't dare either."
"It's really bright." Lin Zhiqing nodded. "The higher you stand, the farther you can see. The view from above is naturally magnificent."
Lu Huai stared at Lin Zhiqing's profile for a while, then nodded in agreement:
"When I was little and unhappy, my mother would always bring me here. Later, she passed away, and I had to come here alone."
Lu Huai rarely mentioned his mother, and Lin Zhiqing looked into his eyes.
There was attachment and longing in his eyes.
Lin Zhiqing remembered that Lu Huai's mother died of illness when he and his sister were very young.
"Aunt Lu may not have left. She just stayed with you in a different way." Lin Zhiqing pointed to the stars in the sky.
"Look, the brightest one, maybe it's Aunt Lu."
Lu Huai's mouth curled up, and he imitated his movements and pointed at the stars next to him:
"The two stars next to them must be Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin, and the one further away must be Aunt Mu."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiqing was stunned.
Because of her previous job, she almost unconsciously began to comfort Lu Huai.
It was not until Lu Huai comforted her in the same way that she realized that her words were not so wise.
Sure enough, only by experiencing it yourself can you know what it feels like.
But Lu Huai's tone was very serious: "Every time I miss my mother, I come here to look at the stars."
"As if this would make her face clearer in my mind."
"Although I have almost forgotten her voice, appearance and smile, I have never forgotten the warmth she gave me when we looked at the stars together."
"However, after watching the stars, I still have to stand up and continue to deal with the trivial matters in the Ministry of Revenue and the court."
"I believe my mother has always been there for me and supported me."
His voice was very gentle.
How could Lin Zhiqing not understand what he meant?
"Lu Huai, you know, my memory of my parents is actually not very clear anymore."
"But Aunt Mu, no one in this world treats me better than her."
Since the first day Lin Zhiqing came to Dasheng, he and Aunt Mu have supported each other to the present day.
Compared to the nanny, Aunt Mu is more like an elder to Lin Zhiqing, caring about her and protecting her.
In Dasheng, Aunt Mu is the only person with whom Lin Zhiqing is completely open.
This feeling is pure and precious.
How could Lin Zhiqing not be sad when his loved one passed away?
But she was used to hiding her emotions.
She understands the meaning of life and death better than anyone else, because she has comforted countless people who wanted to commit suicide and cured many people who were obsessed with their deceased loved ones.
But when that day finally came, she still couldn't quite come to terms with herself.
The surging emotions surged into her heart like a tide. She pinched the amulet hanging around her neck:
"I should also ask for this amulet for her."
"That way, she won't be so lonely..."
When she said this, her voice was choked.
Not wanting to show her weak side in front of others, she stopped talking.
But a tear in her eye rolled out out of her control.
Although her tears quickly disappeared, Lu Huai's eyelashes trembled.
The tears were very hot. This was the first time Lu Huai saw Lin Zhiqing cry.
How could he not understand Lin Zhiqing's thoughts? He moved forward imperceptibly, leaving enough space for Lin Zhiqing.
But the expected crying sound did not come out.
Lin Zhiqing also moved forward. Her expression was extremely restrained, but her eyes were still red.
The next moment, Lu Huai's body suddenly stiffened when he felt Lin Zhiqing gently leaning on his shoulder.
His thoughts were already in a mess, and just when he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a wetness on his shoulder.
He was slightly stunned and gave up the idea of speaking.
Lin Zhiqing's tears were restrained and silent, but they left deep marks on Lu Huai's heart.
All he could see was Lin Zhiqing's slightly shaking shoulders.
