Chapter 116 Sinner! Who is the sinner?
After escorting Lin Jiusi into the ancestral hall, Lin Zhiqing quickly got to the point:
"I went to the villa to investigate. You went to Peach Blossom Spring with Concubine Chun a month after she entered the mansion. She was from Qianjin Pavilion, so you already knew her."

"So, did you prepare her to be delivered to Fourth Uncle early in the morning?"

This is an issue that everyone dares not mention, but has to mention.

Lin Jiusi knelt on the ground, knowing that he had been thoroughly investigated. He turned his head away without saying a word.

Disappointment and anger surged in his heart. Lin Congli closed his eyes and said, "Since you won't tell me, I'll have to resort to family discipline."

Lin Zhiqing frowned and was about to stop him when he caught the expression on Lin Jiusi's face.

He did not argue or struggle, but just shook his head slightly, with the corners of his mouth and eyes turning down at the same time.

It was an action and expression of disappointment and regret.

Why disappointment and regret?

Lin Zhiqing keenly sensed that something was wrong. According to the current situation, this expression should not appear on Lin Jiusi's face.

"Uncle." Lin Zhiqing called out to Lin Congli. She narrowed her eyes and asked tentatively, "Do you know how Chunqin died?"

"She crashed headfirst into the stone lions of the Ministry of Justice and died. Her face was covered in blood and flesh, and her original appearance was unrecognizable."

Lin Zhiqing stared at Lin Jiusi's face as she spoke. As she spoke further, the look of regret on Lin Jiusi's face became more and more intense.

And, mixed in with it was…sadness.

He bit his lower lip and his facial muscles were tense, which showed that he was in great pain.

Lin Jiusi was in pain and regret for Aunt Chun's death!
After coming to a conclusion, Lin Zhiqing finally spoke: "When she was alive, you sent her to the Lin family, and now that she is dead, you act like you are in pain. What's the point?"

"What do you know?" Lin Jiusi straightened his back, but then bent it when he thought about the current situation of the Lin family: "How could things turn out like this? It was almost, just a little bit..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present understood that Lin Congyan’s matter was indeed related to Lin Jiusi!
Lin Congli's nostrils flared, his nose trembled, and he was speechless for a long time.

Not only him, everyone couldn't understand why Lin Jiusi wanted to harm Lin Congyan. Was it just because of a woman?

"Do you know about the last time she went to Peach Blossom Spring before she died?" Lin Zhiqing's voice was soft, and if you listened carefully, you could hear some soothing meaning in it.

When a person is extremely angry, sad, or in other emotional situations, it is easy for him or her to be led to speak out the truth that is hidden in his or her heart.

For example, Lin Jiusi's lips trembled slightly now. "How could he know? We had originally planned to find a good time to act. If you hadn't gone to Qianjin Pavilion, how could so many things have happened?"

"If I hadn't been sent back to Bianliang, maybe she wouldn't have died. It's all your fault! You killed her!"

Lin Jiusi seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at the Lin family.

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Zhiqing and the other three looked at each other, and they all realized something was wrong.

"What plan?" Lin Zhiqing took a step forward, intuitively feeling that this plan was related to Lin Congyan.

Lin Jiusi pursed his lips, rolled his eyes, and seemed to feel guilty, and stopped talking.

Lin Zhiqing sneered, "You're being affectionate one moment and accusing us the next. Who are you acting for?"

"I tell you, if something happens to Fourth Uncle, no one in our Lin family will be able to escape. Both you and Second Grandfather will die!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Jiusi's body trembled: "No, the Lin family will not fall..."

"Yes, and immediately!" Lin Zhiqing paced back and forth: "I don't care what entanglement you have with Fourth Uncle. If this matter has anything to do with you, his life will be counted on your head!" "Why?" Lin Jiusi seemed to have his tail stepped on. He spoke with great momentum, but his knees were shaking slightly.
"You're just living in the Lin family, eating and waiting to die. You have no idea about the Lin family's situation. Lin Congyan is so restricted in what he does. How can he be an official and the head of the Lin family?"

"If the Lin family continues to be controlled by him, it will be finished sooner or later!"

"If I were sitting in that position, I would definitely be able to lead the Lin family out of this predicament. Chunqin went to him for me and for our Lin family!"

His voice became increasingly louder until he mentioned Haruko, then stopped abruptly.

Realizing what he had said, he looked around, his knees gave way, and he knelt on the ground.

"For the Lin family?" Lin Congli's blood boiled. "That bitch harmed the Lin family to this extent, and you still dare to say she did it for the Lin family?"

"She is not a slut!" Lin Jiusi's chest rose and fell slightly, and he looked straight at Lin Congli.

Just as Lin Congli was about to continue speaking, Lin Zhiqing interrupted him and looked at Lin Jiusi: "Do you want to replace Fourth Uncle?"

Whether it was Lin Jiusi's accusation or Chunqin's actions, they both showed that they had opinions about Lin Congyan.

Lin Zhiqing was very familiar with this feeling. At that time, she had tried her best to let several old antiques of the Lin family give up their power so that she could take control of the Lin family.

From what Lin Jiusi had just said, Lin Zhiqing understood that he had the same idea.

However, for him, among the three people in power, one is his biological grandfather, the other is his uncle who has considerable authority in both internal and external affairs, so the only one who can take action is his fourth uncle.

Lin Jiusi didn't answer, but he turned his head away, obviously agreeing with Lin Zhiqing's statement.

He wanted to replace Lin Congyan, so he and Chunqin planned to throw dirty water on his fourth uncle.

But if that were all, the current trend of things wouldn't make sense.

Lin Shian took a deep breath and said, "You teamed up with Chunqin to fabricate those false charges. This is not to replace Fourth Uncle, but to kill him and the Lin family!"

Lin Yangyang nodded heavily beside him. "Even I know that doing this will get you into trouble. You claim to be smart, but how come you're not as smart as me?"

"No, that's not the case!" Lin Jiusi waved his hands vigorously, not knowing where he got the strength from.
"I clearly discussed this with Chunqin. She faked her own death to expose Fourth Uncle, so that he would be blamed and removed from his position in the Lin family."

"I created a fake identity in advance. After this, she will no longer be Chunqin. This way, we can be together forever regardless of worldly opinions!"

"Almost, only a little!"

"I harmed Chunqin, my fourth uncle, and the Lin family. I... I am a sinner."

Lin Jiusi's voice was choked with sobs, and even he himself didn't understand how things had developed to this point.

Perhaps it was because he had said everything out loud that all the anger and helplessness in his heart were released, and all that was left was endless regret!
After hearing the truth from Lin Jiusi, Lin Congli's back suddenly bent down, as if he had no strength left to support himself:

"Heaven wants to destroy the Lin family! Heaven wants to destroy the Lin family!"

After hearing this, Lin Zhiqing clenched his fists and his expression became quite serious.

Lin Jiusi actually set up such a big trap without anyone noticing.

Not only were more than ten people implicated, but it was also done by someone from the Lin family themselves.

Whether the truth is revealed or not, the Lin family is finished!
