It seems that this girl must have some clues that make her so sure.
Su Yin didn't hide it and said directly: "Because..."
Of course it’s because she had seen a lot of the world in her previous life.
She naturally wouldn't tell him this reason.
Su Yin paused, as if considering how to put it. "It's very simple. It's not hard to see from Heng Youyi's character that she is not the kind of person who sticks to worldly views. This can be seen from the fact that she distributes porridge regardless of weather conditions."
"If Lin Zijin was still alive, even if she fell into the water that day and was rescued by Shunyi Hou, given her personality, she would definitely not marry Shunyi Hou so easily. There is only one possibility for her to give up this relationship so easily and marry Shunyi Hou, and that is that Lin Zijin is already dead."
In fact, she has other news that can also prove this point.
That was the information about the previous life that Dad provided.
Heng Youyi attaches great importance to Zijin Tavern.
Among her dowry, Zijin Tavern was not the most expensive or the most profitable, but it was the one she cared about the most.
If Lin Zijin were still alive, how could Shunyi Hou not know about it and how could he not stop it?
No man wants to be cuckolded by his wife, even if that wife is not the one he likes.
If the other person was a dead person, Shunyi Hou would naturally turn a blind eye, after all, his wife would never betray him.
Nangong Jingzhi gave her a thumbs up and said, "Good analysis."
"I think you have found more than just this." Su Yin asked with a smile.
Nangong Jingzhi smiled and said, "You really can't hide anything from me. Can you guess how Lin Zijin died? If you guess correctly, I think you can even open a fortune-telling stall."
"I can't guess how he died, but I can be sure that he died a violent death."
"That's right." Nangong Jingzhi's expression straightened and his tone became serious. "Lin Zijin is a student of Bailu Academy, and he is a student that the dean values. According to the dean of Bailu Academy, it will not be difficult for him to pass the imperial examination with his talent, and he may even be ranked first."
"Unfortunately, he died three days before the imperial examination."
Su Yin's expression also became serious. "How did he die?"
"What a coincidence! Lin Zijin died of drowning. According to the case files at the government office, Lin Zijin accidentally fell into the lotus pond while walking in the academy at night and drowned. Heng Youyi fell into the water and was rescued. Don't you think they are very interesting? They have an inseparable fate with water."
Love arises from wine, and separation comes from water.
"Do you believe that he fell into the lotus pond accidentally?" Su Yin asked.
Nangong Jingzhi shook his head, "I don't believe it. Things that are too coincidental are often not coincidences."
"Drowning, what a coincidence." Su Yin seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Is there anyone else at Lin Zijin's house?"
"Yes. I have an old mother and a younger sister who is not yet 15 years old."
"How are they now?"
Nangong Jingzhi stood up and called her over. The two stood by the window, and his folding fan pointed to a place where an old man with white hair was selling all kinds of velvet flowers in a basket along the street.
"That's Lin Zijin's old mother. His sister Lin Ziyu made velvet flower headdresses at home, and her mother sold them at the market, relying on this meager income to make a living. When Lin Zijin was at home, he could copy books and write some storybooks to supplement the family income. Their life was not very rich, but they could barely get by."
"Now that the breadwinner is gone, I can only rely on this to make money."
"According to what my people have learned, Heng Youyi gave them money, but for some unknown reason, the mother and daughter drove Heng Youyi out with a broom, and threw away all the things she brought with her."
Hearing this, Su Yin raised her eyebrows, "They hate Heng Youyi, it doesn't make sense."
"Yeah, it seems quite unreasonable."
"Didn't your people find out the reason?"
"No. I asked around, but the neighbors didn't know the reason. My people also approached the mother and daughter, but they kept their mouths shut and didn't reveal anything. If you start, they'll chase you away."
This attitude made Su Yin even more curious.
"Why don't you give it a try? Maybe you can do it."
Su Yin looked at the white-haired old man on the street and said, "I'll go and try. You just stay here and don't move."
Women, relatively speaking, are not as wary of other women as men.
After leaving the teahouse, Su Yin walked to Lin's mother. Lin's mother came forward with a basket and asked, "Miss, would you like to buy velvet flowers? Our velvet flowers are both cheap and beautiful. Would you like to take a look?"
Su Yin glanced at the velvet flowers in her basket, stopped, picked up a velvet flower from the basket, and looked at it carefully.
“It’s pretty good.”
She held a velvet flower and gestured at Xiangling's head.
Seeing that she liked it, Lin's mother smiled a little more and said earnestly, "If you like it, I can give you a discount."
Xiangling is indeed a clever girl. She understood immediately after Su Yin's look, "The craftsmanship is good, but the variety is too small. Our young lady wants a lot, do you have any more at home?"
Hearing that she wanted a lot, Lin's mother was delighted and said repeatedly: "There are still some at home, I will get it for you right away."
"That's too much trouble. How long will it take for you to run back and forth?"
Mother Lin thought they didn’t want it anymore, so she said hastily, “I’ll be back soon.”
"No need to go through so much trouble. We'll go with you and choose directly at your home." Xiangling said.
Mother Lin was naturally willing, "Then please come with me, young lady."
The three of them left together.
Nangong Jingzhi, who was standing on the second floor, watched them leave like this, and turned his head to look at Nan Liu, "What do you think of this girl? Really, she left me behind. Am I so worthless?"
Nan Liu listened to his master's resentful tone like a young wife and silently rolled his eyes, but still said, "Master, Miss Su didn't say that she didn't allow you to follow."
"That makes sense." Nangong Jingzhi clapped the folding fan in his hand and said, "Let's go and take a look."
The two followed the three.
As soon as they caught up, Su Yin noticed these two people. The main thing was that these two guys didn't do anything sneaky, they were following them openly.
Following Lin's mother through many twists and turns, we finally stopped in front of a mud house.
Mother Lin pushed open the gate and called to the people in the house, "Xiaoyu, there are guests."
Lin Ziyu walked out of the house and was surprised to see Su Yin and his servant standing in the yard. He looked them up and down, making sure they were not his relatives, and nodded slightly at them.
"Mom, who are they?"
When Lin's mother told them what happened, Lin Ziyu's eyes lit up with joy when he learned that they were here to buy velvet flowers, and he warmly invited them into the house.
