Chapter 298 Break off the engagement! Give her back to me!
"Hey, why didn't I think of this angle?" Lin Yangyang clapped her hands, thinking that Lin Zhiqing's words were very interesting:
"Jiang Liuyun and the Minister of Justice share the same primary goal, which is to prevent the news of this woman's prison escape from getting out, but their underlying goals are different."
"Jiang Liuyun's survival goal is to keep the woman with the mole alive, and at the same time, prevent the news of her prison break from getting out."
"But from the perspective of the Minister of Justice, it doesn't matter whether this woman lives or not, as long as the news of the prison escape doesn't get out."
"That's right." Lin Zhiqing nodded: "Cousin, you are right, that's what you mean."
"You want to design them based on this? So as to alienate them?" Lu Nanyue reacted immediately.
Lin Zhiqing did not deny that now they had switched positions of offense and defense with the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
In fact, there are two goals that the woman with moles wants to achieve.
First, kill the woman with the mole to avenge Aunt Mu.
Second, bring the Minister of Justice into his own camp so that he will support the retrial of Lin Congrong's case.
But before that, she still had something to do.
This thought just occurred to her for a moment when Chao Yan knocked on the door. After getting her consent, her voice rang out from outside:
"Miss, someone from the Jiang family has come. The master doesn't know how to deal with it, so he sent someone to invite you over."
"What is he doing here at this time? He has caused such a shameless thing." Lu Nanyue hated this.
"He's here to act." Lu Huai said with sarcasm.
Lu Nanyue heard it.
Lin Zhiqing also heard it, and she smiled slightly: "The timing of coming is very good, just in time to resolve some things."
"Lu Huai, Nan Yue, do you want to stay and watch the fun, or go back first?"
"This is the Lin family's business. Xiao Huai and I will go back and wait for news..." Lu Nanyue was interrupted by Lu Huai before she could finish her words.
Lu Huai said righteously, "Jiang Liuyun is full of tricks. Just in case, I have to stay and see what happens."
"Okay, you can go to the side hall and take a look later." Lin Zhiqing was in a hurry to deal with things and didn't think much about it.
Lu Nanyue looked at her brother thoughtfully.
Lu Huai is usually the most polite person. Even if they have a good relationship, he would never overstep his bounds and get involved in other people's affairs.
As his biological sister, Lu Nanyue understood this very well.
But now it's so abnormal, I'm afraid he is also looking forward to how the marriage between Lin Zhiqing and Jiang Liuyun will be resolved.
Meeting Lu Nanyue's all-seeing eyes, Lu Huai felt a little unnatural, but still strode forward with his head held high.
Soon, Lin Zhiqing rushed to the front hall.
Lin Congli and Lin Congyan had already taken their seats, while Jiang Liuyun was standing in the hall with a rather depressed expression.
Lin Zhiqing raised an eyebrow: "Prince Jiang has a beautiful woman in his arms, and yet he still has the mind to come to our Lin family?"
"Qing'er, you know the truth of the matter." Jiang Liuyun's eyes narrowed when he heard Lin Zhiqing's voice, but he then concealed it well.
He lowered his head and rolled his eyes, and when he looked at Lin Zhiqing again, his gaze was already filled with some fragility and guilt.
It’s fake at first glance!
Lin Zhiqing simply sat down, greeted Lin Congli and Lin Congyan, but ignored Jiang Liuyun.
Lin Congli and Lin Congyan looked at each other. They didn't know much about this matter, so they knew they shouldn't speak now.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Jiang Liuyun's breathing became heavier, and his eyebrows moved slightly together, obviously suppressing his dissatisfaction and a little anxious.
Of course, Lin Zhiqing didn't think that this anxiety was because of worrying about their marriage. She judged that the one who made Jiang Liuyun anxious was probably the woman with the mole.
Just as she was thinking, Jiang Liuyun couldn't help but speak again: "Qing'er, I want to talk to you."
"That's not necessary. Everyone has seen the whole process. There's no need to apologize. Let's just call off our engagement." Lin Zhiqing said in a light tone.
Hearing this, Lu Huai in the side hall raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but quickly suppressed it.
He picked up a cup of tea and put it to his mouth in an attempt to cover up his mistake.
Jiang Liuyun, who was standing outside, felt as if he was being pricked by needles in his heart.
This was the first time Lin Zhiqing mentioned breaking off the engagement since she discovered his true identity.
Jiang Liuyun didn't know why his heart felt a little stuffy. He clenched his fists, trying to ignore the feeling and spoke again:
"Qing'er, we can cancel the engagement, but not in this way, nor at this time."
"Heh." Lin Zhiqing couldn't help but laugh. "What kind of person is Prince Jiang? Does he have to choose a time to break off the engagement with you?"
"Or, if I cancel the engagement now, will it confirm your affair with someone else?"
Hearing this, Jiang Liuyun's arms trembled slightly and the muscles around his lips tensed up, as if he was suppressing his anger.
Lin Zhiqing didn't care whether he was angry or not, because no matter how you look at it, the Lin family was right in this matter.
Jiang Liuyun was obviously aware of this. He controlled his trembling arms and seemed to know that the marriage was off. He then brought up another matter:
"You can cancel the engagement, but you have to return her to me."
Lin Zhiqing frowned: "She, who is she?"
Act, as if everyone can act?
Just show off your acting skills to each other.
Jiang Liuyun swallowed, took several deep breaths, and then spoke: "Don't play dumb, let's each take a step back, it will be good for everyone."
"Prince Jiang, please understand that you are not qualified to negotiate with me now." Lin Zhiqing stood up:
"Why didn't you step back when I was framed for murdering my cousin?"
"When my fourth uncle was being pressed, why didn't you take a step back?"
"Why didn't you take a step back when my life and death were at stake in Bianliang?"
"Why didn't you take a step back when Cangxianglou was plotting against me and Lu Huai?"
She stared at Jiang Liuyun, and their eyes were clearly level, but Jiang Liuyun felt that she was looking down at him condescendingly.
Four sentences in a row, full of sarcasm.
Jiang Liuyun frowned slightly and looked around subconsciously. Seeing that there was no one around, he spoke in a low voice:
"I never killed you. In the incident at Cangxianglou, I used a drug to knock you out, not that kind of drug, in order to preserve your innocence..."
Lin Zhiqing didn't even have the patience to listen to the end: "Then I have to thank you, Master Jiang, for your mercy?"
Jiang Liuyun stopped talking.
Lin Zhiqing waved his hand and approached Zhao Yan with a tray. Inside the tray was the marriage certificate.
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Prince Jiang knows this truth. Now you have no other choice but to break off the engagement."
"If you don't comply, I will personally go to the Ministry of Rites and sue you for being a philanderer."
"The Zhenyuan Marquisate has always been very concerned about their reputation, so they probably wouldn't want this to become a big deal."
From beginning to end, she had a faint smile on her face.
