Chapter 117 Second Hypnosis
After leaving the ancestral hall, everyone's faces were not very good.

Lin Congli traveled day and night, and when he returned to the Lin family he suffered such a great shock that he was exhausted and was helped back to the yard by Lin Yangyang.

Lin Zhiqing and Lin Shian walked towards the front hall one after the other.

Neither of them looked very good.

"Cousin, the news about Lin Jiusi and Aunt Chun must not leak out. You should pay more attention to Fourth Aunt." Lin Zhiqing said in a serious tone.

Lin Shian nodded: "Don't worry, I will take good care of the Lin family, but... do I have to hide this from Fourth Aunt?"

"Except for a few of us, we have to keep it a secret from everyone else." Lin Zhiqing coughed twice.

After explaining some things, Lin Zhiqing and Lin Shian separated.

After she returned to the yard, she called Aunt Mu and asked about the madam of Qianjin Pavilion.

"The people below looked for him according to the address, but there was no news. I'm afraid it's useless." Aunt Mu felt that Lin Zhiqing was in a bad mood, so she lowered her voice.

Lin Zhiqing frowned. Logically speaking, they had been searching for their fourth uncle for such a long time since the day he was arrested, so it was impossible that there would be no news at all.

Unless her traces were cleared.

Lin Zhiqing felt a little headache. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out why.

After Aunt Mu left, Lin Zhiqing took out the Wuqinglu again and poured some into the teacup.

This thing is quite effective, and Lin Zhiqing is very impressed by Nan Yue's medical skills.

After drinking the medicine, Lin Zhiqing concentrated and sorted out all the current affairs.

First, Lin Jiusi admitted that he and Aunt Chun had colluded to slander his fourth uncle, causing his fourth uncle to be imprisoned.

Lin Zhidan held his cheek with one hand, looking at the small jade bottle on the table with a frown.

Moreover, Lin Jiusi kept saying that he had discussed with Aunt Chun in advance and faked his death to escape.

But Lin Zhiqing had seen Chun Yi Niang's body with his own eyes. Whether it was the wounds on the body or the testimony of the night watchman at that time, they all proved that Chun Yi Niang committed suicide with the determination to die.

This is a far cry from the claim of faked death.

However, Lin Zhiqing did not forget that when the Lin family was in turmoil, Aunt Chun took the money and ran away.

At that time, Lin Jiusi was sent back to Bianliang by him with thundering means, and the two had no time to communicate.

Aunt Chun may have thought that Lin Jiusi was unreliable, so she ran away.

But this only proves one thing, that she wants to live.

If you want to live, why would you suddenly die?

Lin Zhiqing stood up unconsciously and walked around the room.

Unless someone wants her to die, or she has to die!

But no matter which situation it was, according to Lin Zhiqing's previous thinking, the biggest problem was that no one benefited from Aunt Chun's death.

However, the situation was different after Lin Jiusi's affairs were exposed.

Fourth uncle was imprisoned, and the only person who knew about it was dead. If it weren't for the token from Peach Blossom Spring, Lin Zhiqing probably wouldn't have connected the matter to Lin Jiusi.

Thinking of this, she clapped her hands.

That’s right, if the incidents at Qianjin Pavilion and Peach Blossom Spring had not happened, Lin Jiusi would definitely be the biggest beneficiary!
Was it he who killed Aunt Chun?

Lin Zhiqing walked and shook his head, denying his own idea.

She had carefully observed Lin Jiusi's facial expression today. That kind of extreme sadness and grief was definitely not something an ordinary person could act out...

Wait, Lin Zhiqing paused. What if Lin Jiusi is not an ordinary person?
What if he could control his expression and deceive Lin Zhiqing?
The moment this thought came to mind, Lin Zhiqing felt his scalp tingling.

She realized that she had fallen into a misunderstanding.

Ever since she arrived at Dasheng, she had always been confident, thinking that no one in the world understood psychology. But she forgot that sometimes people involved in psychology may not even realize it is psychology.

For example, when you look at your teacher at school, you have a premonition that your name will be called on. This actually falls into the category of psychology.

When a person has the preconception that he or she will be called upon, he or she will subconsciously avoid the teacher's gaze. The teacher will judge from the person's facial expression that he or she is avoiding and will then call upon the person or her.

This is a very common phenomenon, but few people realize it is psychology.

If you realize it, you can adjust your expression in advance when the teacher's eyes sweep over you, and don't dodge or avoid it. This way you will most likely not be called out.

What if Lin Jiusi is such a person who is good at disguise?
In other words, Lin Zhiqing felt that Lin Jiusi had no concept of psychology in his mind, but would take actions related to psychology.

Aunt Chun's earth-shaking change from being full of desire to survive to being ready to die is something that usually doesn't happen.

But what if Lin Jiusi used psychology to control her and turned her fake death into real death?

The more Lin Zhiqing thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high!
Noticing that her heart was beating fast, Lin Zhiqing poured herself a cup of cold tea and drank it. After she calmed down, she picked up the Wangshu Mirror hanging around her waist.

The bronze mirror reflected her face very clearly. When she looked at herself in the mirror, the person in the mirror was also looking at her.

She stared closely at the eyes of the person in the mirror and gently shook the bronze mirror.

Feeling dizzy, she stopped moving.

Not bad, it’s a good prop... Lin Zhiqing nodded with satisfaction.

She called Aunt Mu and asked her to personally deliver food to Lin Jiusi, and specifically reminded her to bring a bowl of water with her.

Regardless of whether Lin Jiusi eats it or not, he must send it to him three times.

Although Aunt Mu felt strange, she didn't ask any more questions and agreed.

……

Soon, night falls.

The Lin family fell into silence.

Because things had reached a stalemate, the Lin family was not as busy as they had been in the previous few days.

Therefore, no one noticed that Lin Zhiqing's courtyard door was quietly opened.

Amid the chirping of insects, Lin Zhiqing's figure quickly shuttled through the Lin family's house and finally arrived at the yard where Lin Jiusi was imprisoned.

But... looking at Lin Shian who was standing outside the yard reading a military book, Lin Zhiqing was speechless.

She knew that if she went in tonight, she would definitely be discovered by her cousin, so she didn't hide and threw a small stone in the direction of Lin Shian.

Lin Shian dodged slightly, and the stone fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Seeing Lin Zhiqing appear here, he did not show any surprise.

"Cousin, just let someone watch over it. There's no need to come in person." Lin Zhiqing took out the pastries he had brought with him before going out and handed them to him.

Lin Shian didn't take it, and motioned Lin Zhiqing to eat it himself: "You once said that every failure makes you wiser. I don't want to fail again."

Mentioning this, Lin Zhiqing curled the corners of his lips and took a light bite of the pastry.

After eating, she clapped her hands and raised her chin towards the inside.

Lin Shian nodded, without raising any objections, and opened the door.

Soon, Lin Zhiqing walked into the yard and took out the Wangshu Mirror.

Lin Jiusi's room was very bright. She moved forward and looked inside through the window.

Lin Jiusi was sitting on the ground with a dejected look on his face, and the food in front of him was basically untouched.

Seeing the three bowls of clear water in front of him, Lin Zhiqing touched the Wangshu Mirror in his hand.

It's time to test your strength.
