Jian Zhaoxing

Chapter 294 Substituting one thing for another
Yun Jian!

The woman on the bed is Yun Jian!

Great!
Jiang Liuyun closed his eyes. He was the one who had fallen into the trap!

"Crack!"

The moment this thought crossed my mind, the door was violently kicked open.

At Princess Pingning's signal, some people eagerly stepped forward:
"Help! Help! Let's see who's so shameless as to dare to have a secret rendezvous with a man in the Hidden Fragrance Pavilion!"

The commotion had already attracted the attention of others, and people outside kept pushing their way in; who doesn't like to watch a show?
Princess Pingning couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile, her gaze shifting to the bedside:

"Lin Zhiqing, how could you betray Prince Jiang... Prince Jiang!?"

The moment Princess Pingning's gaze met Jiang Liuyun's, her eyes widened, her mouth agape, and she was speechless for a long time.

"Young Master Jiang, everyone look! Young Master Jiang is actually with a man and a woman, both of whom are disheveled!"

"How could this be? How could Young Master Jiang come to a place like this!"

"It's him, it really is him, I saw him!"

……

Jiang Liuyun's name popped out from one person after another, instantly igniting the excitement of the onlookers.

They jostled and pushed forward, their mouths uttering incredibly explosive remarks.

Princess Pingning stood there, stunned, looking at Jiang Liuyu with disbelief, then at the plain-looking woman on the bed, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Those who had been persuaded by Princess Pingning to come wished they could bury their heads in the ground.

Jiang Liuyun's eyes were sinister. He turned his head away, avoiding everyone's gaze.

Now that things have come to this, how could he not understand that he had been tricked?

"Lu Huai, Lin Zhiqing, I want your lives!" Perhaps it was because he was too angry, or perhaps it was because the current scene was too absurd, that it was becoming difficult to end.

Just as he was about to explain something, another exclamation came from outside to inside.

"Lin Zhiqing?"

"It's actually Miss Lin! I didn't believe that Marquis Zhenyuan would harm Lin Congrong before, but now that I see this, there's no way to doubt it!"

"Didn't they say that Young Master Jiang is deeply in love with Miss Lin? If he's so deeply in love, why is he coming to a place like this to mess around with another woman!"

"It's all fake, a complete lie! You heartless man!"

Various discussions arose, and the onlookers very sensibly parted to make way for each other.

Jiang Liuyun looked up and saw Lin Zhiqing, dressed in a light blue dress, standing outside the door with a pale face, looking at him with a fragile and sad expression.

Then, two lines of clear tears slowly fell down.

Jiang Liuyun had never seen her so vulnerable before.

But Jiang Liuyun knew she was acting.

However, among all these people, only he knew that Lin Zhiqing was acting!

A woman was also with Lin Zhiqing.

She grabbed Lin Zhiqing's hand and said, "Zhiqing, I shouldn't have asked you to come out today. Who knew we'd run into such bad luck? I'll take you back to the Lin family!"

Jiang Liuyun recognized her at a glance; she was the daughter of Bai, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

With just a few words, everyone assumed that Lin Zhiqing's visit to Cangxianglou today was merely a coincidence.

She happened to go out and coincidentally encountered her fiancé Jiang Liuyun's romantic escapades at a brothel.

Jiang Liuyun now deeply understands the feeling of having bitterness that cannot be expressed.

Bai Ling was unaware that this grand spectacle was orchestrated by the heartbroken person beside her. Angrily, she grabbed Lin Zhiqing and tried to leave the Hidden Fragrance Pavilion.

But Lin Zhiqing shook off her hand and pointed with trembling fingers at the woman who was slowly waking up on the bed.

After Yun Jian woke up, the first thing she looked at was Jiang Liuyun, and she softly called him "Your Highness".

Her voice was incredibly gentle, brimming with affection. Then, her body trembled, and she deliberately looked at Lin Zhiqing at the door: "Miss...?"

Lin Zhiqing immediately covered her chest:

"Jiang Liuyun, if you want to annul the engagement, just say so. How can you be making love with my maid here?"

"Although my Lin family is weak, you don't need to slap me in the face like this!"

When did you get together with her?

These few words contained a lot of information, instantly causing an uproar among the onlookers.

Goodness, it's one thing to cheat on someone, after all, men have multiple wives and concubines, it's normal.

But Jiang Liuyun's object of affection was actually a maid from the Lin family!
This is outrageous! This is clearly a slap in the face to the Lin family!
Bai Ling couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she grabbed Lin Zhiqing's wrist and led her away from the Hidden Fragrance Pavilion.

Lin Zhiqing cried incessantly along the way, attracting the attention of many passersby.

Bai Ling escorted her all the way back to Shuqing Pavilion. Seeing that she refused to speak and just kept crying, Bai Ling comforted her for a few words and then took her leave.

This matter is no longer within her control as the daughter of a vice minister.

Bai Ling was unaware that the moment her footsteps disappeared, Lin Zhiqing's crying immediately stopped.

With a touch of concern, Asagao handed her a handkerchief: "Miss, Miss, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Lin Zhiqing wiped away her tears as she straightened up.

How could it not be great to win such a resounding victory?

"People outside have already spread the word about your reputation, Miss..." Asagao's eyes reddened.

"Reputation can't put food on the table, Asagao, don't cry." Lin Zhiqing stood up.

"Nan Yue should be here soon. Go and tell your uncle first, and tell them not to panic."

"Yes." Asagao held back her tears, accepted the order, and left.

Lin Zhi washed his face, feeling incredibly refreshed.

The fly she had swallowed before was finally spat out, and she was certain that today's performance had disgusted Jiang Liuyun.

Where should we begin?

Lin Zhiqing thought about it and realized that her initial suspicion about the whole thing must have started on the night Lin Yangyang went to Yongqing County to deliver the letter.

She re-analyzed everything that happened after Aunt Mu's death.

It has to be said that Jiang Liuyun grasped her thoughts very accurately.

Whether it was to avenge Aunt Mu or to find out why the neutral ministers were opposing him, Lin Zhiqing would keep investigating.

But there are many things she still can't understand.

The appearance of a woman with a mole is truly illogical.

She thought about it carefully and made sure that Jiang Liuyun should not know that she had gone to Yongqing, nor that she had set the fire at the Ministry of Justice.

These two pieces of information were known only to her and Lin Yangyang; at least Jiang Liuyun was unaware of them, so her perspective was relatively broad.

She knew that Jiang Liuyun wouldn't risk exposing two major businesses and the Minister of Justice's secrets by bringing out the woman with the mole.

Unless, everything Jiang Liuyun did was for two reasons.

First, I want Lin Zhiqing to discover the Hidden Fragrance Pavilion.

Second, they discovered incriminating evidence against the Minister of Justice.

That way, everything makes sense.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend.

If the Minister of Justice were to fall into his hands, the Lin family would have gained another enemy.

As for the Hidden Incense Pavilion, there must be a conspiracy hidden inside.

Lu Huai had also guessed this.
