Chapter 493 Two Women Join Forces
If it's just a simple verbal dispute, there's no way to make a fuss.
But now that it has been done, the Daliang envoys will certainly seize on this and make a big fuss about it.
But that’s all in the past.
Wang Shuyi was kind enough to help her, and that's why she hurt people.
She was still a little surprised that Wang Shuyi came back to help her.
"Why didn't you just leave?" Lin Zhiqing asked.
Wang Shuyi blushed slightly when she heard this. "My father taught me to be grateful and repay kindness. You just sacrificed your life to save me. How can I live alone?"
"It's not that serious." Lin Zhiqing was still a little touched.
Apart from Lu Huai, Lin Yangyang and others, few people in Dasheng treated her kindly.
This Wang Shuyi is not as old-fashioned as Lin Yangyang described.
"You'd better leave quickly, it's getting late." Lin Zhiqing said.
Hearing this, Wang Shuyi's face turned pale: "My father will definitely be angry."
After that, she scratched her head again: "By the way, you may not know yet, my father is the Imperial Censor Wang Yuan."
"You came to the Wang family before. My mother and I were waiting for you in the backyard, but you were talking to my father in the front yard the whole time."
As she spoke, she leaned forward, her eyes slightly widened, and the muscles around her eyes lifted, as if she was very envious.
Lin Zhiqing observed these actions, thought about his own purpose, and took a deep breath:
"I know."
Wang Shuyi was inevitably surprised.
Lin Zhiqing then said, "I not only know about Lord Wang's affairs, but also about Mr. Wang's affairs."
Speaking of this, the surprise on Wang Shuyi's face turned into sadness, and she thought of the sad things again.
Lin Zhiqing sighed lightly and said straight to the point: "You know what happened in the court recently. I don't want to go to the marriage."
"Lord Wang supports the marriage, but I can't find any flaws in him, so I want to start with you."
"So, I also know that you went to the bookstore today."
Wang Shuyi was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Then Mr. and I..."
"I heard everything you said." Lin Zhiqing did not hide anything.
Although she had only met Wang Shuyi twice, she saw strength in this seemingly gentle and weak woman.
Today's events made Lin Zhiqing give up his previous idea of hypnotizing Wang Yuan to make him see the scene of Wang Shuyi's marriage.
Because now there is another more convenient way to go.
Lin Zhiqing's words made Wang Shuyi a little panicked.
But she soon broke free from her panic.
Because Lin Zhiqing didn't need to say these words.
She must have a purpose for saying it.
"What do you want to do?" Wang Shuyi frowned, her tone more defensive.
This was normal, and Lin Zhiqing didn't care: "I want to fulfill my husband's wish."
"Or rather, I've been working towards that."
What else could it be?
Wang Shuyi immediately realized that Lin Zhiqing was talking about the woman entering the bookstore.
Her eyelashes trembled, and she subconsciously lowered her voice: "Then, is that possible?"
Lin Zhiqing nodded: "As long as there is an idea, then it is possible. I can't give you a definite answer. That would be no different from lying to you."
Wang Shuyi clenched her hands, her mind a little confused.
If anyone else told her these things, she would think they were fairy tales.
But the person who spoke was Lin Zhiqing!
She had met Lin Zhiqing once at the Spring Banquet, and since then, she often heard news about Lin Zhiqing.
She battled wits with the Marquis of Zhenyuan and angrily abandoned her fiancé.
Each of these things is not something a simple woman can do.
More importantly, when Mr. Lu Xun was alive, he admired Lin Zhiqing very much.
Thinking of this, Wang Shuyi mustered up the courage to speak: "Since you say so, I believe you."
"I have loved reading poetry and books since I was young, but my father is very strict about tradition. He did not allow me to go to school after I turned twelve."
"My teacher was my mistress. Although she was a woman, she was very knowledgeable and even opened a bookshop under a man's name. I secretly studied with her."
"When I went to the bookstore to look for her, my father found me. He was furious and forbade me to study with the teacher anymore."
"You should also know the guards outside my yard, right? This is their origin."
Lin Zhiqing nodded: "I know, but I didn't expect the story to be so complicated."
Wang Shuyi's eyes looked a little lonely:
"My father is a good man, but also a fool."
"Miss Lin, don't blame him for the marriage. He always thought that if the Dasheng regime was stable, the people would be stable."
"If the person who is to be married this time is anyone else, he will spare no effort to promote it."
Even though she felt that her father was indeed stubborn, she still didn't want others to misunderstand him too much.
Lin Zhiqing raised his eyes and said, "What if that person is you? What should Lord Wang do?"
Wang Shuyi was stunned, as if she had never thought about this question before.
Her eyes switched back and forth between confusion, heartache, and other emotions. Finally, she just lowered her head and said softly:
"Even if it was me, he would insist on promoting the marriage."
Lin Zhiqing saw Wang Shuyi's sadness and patted her on the back gently:
"No one can make a conclusion about something that hasn't happened. Miss Wang, what do you think in your heart? Do you support the marriage?"
Wang Shuyi shook her head: "The master once told me that peace bought with women is not true peace."
"The newspapers that have appeared in Shengjing City these days must be the work of you, Miss Lin Er. My teacher said that you have the demeanor of Marquis Wangshu."
"I am very different from my father. He is braver than me." Lin Zhiqing grabbed Wang Shuyi's hand:
"Shuyi, I need you to help me convince Lord Wang that marriage is not the only option for Dasheng."
"Our road is much wider and longer than we imagined."
"Me?" Wang Shuyi bit her lip lightly. "I'm not sure. Father has always been rational."
"We can try. Only after trying will we know whether this is possible, right?" Lin Zhiqing spoke again:
"Before the Zhenyuan Marquisate was convicted, I wasn't sure I could clear my father's name."
"But I did it, Shuyi, please believe me."
Wang Shuyi slowly raised her head and looked into Lin Zhiqing's eyes.
Her eyes were bright, like the stars in the sky, shining with eagerness and hope.
Wang Shuyi nodded for some unknown reason.
What Lin Zhiqing wants to do is also what she wants to do.
Life is short, why not give it a try!
It's just a failure, but so what?
She wants to fulfill her husband's wish.
"Miss Lin, how can I help you? Should I go and plead with my father directly?" Wang Shuyi said:
"If I threaten him with a hunger strike, perhaps he will be moved."
"No." Lin Zhiqing shook his head: "This won't achieve the desired effect."
“Only by putting oneself in a desperate situation and then surviving can one achieve the desired effect.”
"Come closer and I'll tell you something."
Lin Zhiqing told Wang Shuyi the whole plan, and her eyes became brighter and brighter...
