Chapter 370: Fake Affection, Real Opposition
Moreover, she was acting by taking advantage of his sincerity.
Lin Zhiqing glanced at Jiang Liuyun, then looked away like a frightened little rabbit.
This is all done for others to see.
Jiang Liuyun clearly saw the indifference and provocation hidden beneath her gentle eyes.
This look was like a thorn, piercing into Jiang Liuyun's heart.
How is he feeling now?
There is indeed anger, the anger of being deceived.
Relieved? It seems a little bit, thankful that Lin Zhiqing was not in trouble?
No, no!
Jiang Liuyun suppressed this feeling.
Lin Zhiqing didn't know what Jiang Liuyun was thinking. She looked at the Minister of Justice and his wife with red eyes:
"My humble servant greets the Minister, Madam."
"My Lord, you have summoned me here. I wonder why?"
The Shangshu's wife didn't say anything, but her eyes were slightly swollen, obviously she had been crying.
The Minister of Justice sat at the top of the table, expressionless, with a cold aura surrounding him.
Looking at the surroundings, there was no one around, only a few guards guarding outside.
It seems that the Minister of Justice still doesn't want his son's scandals to be spread.
First of all, the person is already dead, and it is not good to be labeled as lustful.
Secondly, this would hinder the career of the Minister of Justice.
No matter what the truth is, this matter will not cause a big stir.
The Minister of Justice only wanted to find the real murderer, and Lin Zhiqing had no idea what to do with him.
While she was thinking, the Minister of Justice squinted his eyes and looked at her carefully before speaking:
"The feud between the Jiang and Lin families has been going on for a long time, and we are all very clear about it."
"No matter how you quarrel or make a fuss every day, it has nothing to do with me, but you should never..."
At this point, his chest heaved violently:
"You should never have attacked my Jin'er!"
After hearing this, Lin Zhiqing already had an idea in his mind.
Before she came, the Minister of Justice had communicated with Jiang Liuyun.
I don't know what Jiang Liuyun said that made the Minister of Justice conclude that this was a dispute extending from the feud between the Lin and Jiang families.
The Minister of Justice pointed it out directly, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry.
In other words, the Minister of Justice now thinks that Lin Zhiqing and Jiang Liuyun are the ones who are behind the death of Li Jinzhi.
This is indeed the case, but this is not the fact that Lin Zhiqing wants.
She moved her facial muscles, raised the corners of her eyes, and opened her lips slightly:
"Sir, our Lin family and the Jiang family do have conflicts, but today's incident has nothing to do with me!"
Lin Zhiqing's straightforward attitude made her look more innocent.
This was in stark contrast to Jiang Liuyun's previous defense and his efforts to put the blame on Lin Zhiqing. The Minister of Justice's eyelids twitched.
He didn't speak because he knew Jiang Liuyun would speak.
"Qing'er, I used to think you were kind, but now I know you have such a vicious heart." Jiang Liuyun really spoke:
"You've always known that I care about you and worry about your safety, and you used this to your advantage and teamed up with your maid to lure me into a trap."
"Even if there is some misunderstanding between our two families, why are you so cruel as to frame me like this?"
Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly. It seemed that Jiang Liuyun was not the only one who said that he was cruel recently.
She closed her eyes and squeezed out two tears that hung in her eye sockets:
"Prince Jiang, I've heard what happened today from my maid Zhao Yan. All the accusations you've made against you are pure nonsense."
"I got lost from my maid, and in desperation, she went to find my ex-fiancé and wanted to ask you for help."
"It's because she feels that you love me deeply and are truly worried about my safety that she came to you for help regardless of the current situation between our two families."
"But if I had known that I would be involved in such an unexpected disaster, I would definitely not have come here today."
"I want to ask you, you always claimed to love me deeply, so why are you slandering me now?"
Jiang Liuyun attacked Lin Zhiqing with deep affection, and then Lin Zhiqing fought back with deep affection.
Jiang Liuyun frowned:
"That day, your maid came to me and kept saying that you were captured by Li Jinzhi's men. I was worried about you, so I rushed to the back mountain."
"But I didn't expect that as soon as I got there, Li Jinzhi collapsed and your maid disappeared."
"Such an obvious trap, and you still refuse to admit it?"
"Prince Jiang!" Lin Zhiqing said in a voice that showed he was extremely angry.
"All of this is just your opinion."
"My maidservant became exhausted halfway through the journey and fell behind. Then she discovered me, who had fallen, and took the lead in sending me to the private room in front."
"That's why she didn't have time to inform you."
"Now you're accusing her of leading you to the back mountains. Let me ask you, how could she be so sure that you would go?"
This question made Jiang Liuyun's breathing pause slightly, and he was a little unable to answer.
Because even he himself didn't know why he went there, and all his rationality seemed to be thrown away at that time.
Noticing Jiang Liuyun's momentary distraction, Lin Zhiqing felt it was not enough and took a few steps forward, seemingly unable to control his emotions.
"You said I set you up, but I haven't even set foot in the back mountain today. If I could be the murderer, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
These words were very convincing. Jiang Liuyun paused slightly because he knew very well that he had never seen Lin Zhiqing appear in the back mountain.
But just because he hasn't seen it doesn't mean others haven't seen it.
Seeing that he couldn't figure out the maid's whereabouts, Jiang Liuyun decisively changed his attack angle:
"You said you didn't go to the back mountain, but fell in the front, so you got separated from the maid. Can you repeat everything?"
"Why not?" Lin Zhiqing repeated the speech he had prepared in advance.
When Jiang Liuyun heard this, he knew that Lin Zhiqing had made sufficient preparations, but he was determined to find a flaw in it:
"Just like what you said just now, this is just your opinion. I don't believe that no one has encountered you since you fell."
"You've been wandering around for so long, is it possible that no one has any impression of you?"
Hearing this, Lin Zhiqing narrowed his eyes slightly.
She knew Jiang Liuyun was asking her for proof of his absence, so she deliberately slowed down her pace.
"I, I remember meeting some people, but I can't remember who they were."
This way of speaking is a skill. If someone can clearly describe every person and every place during an interrogation, it is inevitable that there will be suspicion of advance preparation.
Therefore, when Lin Zhiqing spoke in such a revealing way, he seemed more like a person who knew nothing.
But to Jiang Liuyun, it was clear that Lin Zhiqing was not prepared in advance, so he felt guilty and short of breath.
He sneered:
"You can't tell me, Lord Shangshu, you can ask the people outside. They won't forget someone like you, right?"
Lin Zhiqing is wearing a red dress today, which is indeed very eye-catching.
