Jian Zhaoxing

Chapter 3 Qing'er, I'm here to help you!
Lin Zhiqing stood in the lobby, dressed in plain clothes, his eyes as clear as autumn water, his temperament elegant and refined.

As soon as she finished speaking, those who were initially quite dissatisfied with her fell silent.

Even Lin Congli frowned and began to think.

After a long while, he spoke calmly, "Although Biluo is indeed full of flaws, your empty words are not convincing."

"The Lin family has strict rules. Everything must be based on evidence. I only brought you to trial because I had irrefutable evidence."

"Although there is something fishy about Biluo, this doesn't prove that you have nothing to do with it."

When he said this, the distance between his eyes shortened, and although his face was angry, there was also a hint of doubt in it.

With just one glance, Lin Zhiqing could tell that Lin Congli also felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

Emotionally speaking, when facing the biggest suspect of poisoning his daughter, Lin Congli must want to get rid of him as soon as possible, and this is the source of his anger.

But rationally speaking, he also thought that the doubts raised by Lin Zhiqing were reasonable. He had doubts but lacked evidence.

It seems that Lin Congli is indeed a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs and is meticulous.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing's eyes slowly swept across everyone's face, and finally stopped accurately on Lin Congli's face:
"Uncle, if we find the real murderer, can we prove my innocence?"

Lin Congli raised his eyelids and said, "The Lin family has been busy lately, with constant conflicts in the court. Even I have to take time out of my busy schedule to deal with this matter."

"You want a clean slate, but no one has time to investigate this case."

After hearing this, Lin Zhiqing frowned.

I didn’t expect that the Lin family seemed prosperous on the surface, but in fact they couldn’t even find someone who could investigate the case.

She took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, if no one has cleared my name, I will fight for my own innocence. Please allow me to investigate this case!"

"What a joke." The moment Lin Congli heard Lin Zhiqing volunteer, his eyes narrowed: "You are just a little girl, with nothing, and yet you are trying to find the real culprit?"

"Uncle, it's not you standing in the lobby right now, so you naturally can't understand my feelings. I feel really wronged for being framed again and again!" Lin Zhiqing glanced at Lin Congli.

Lin Congli frowned, thinking of the various messes on hand. He took a deep breath and said, "You only have three days. The Censorate has heard about this matter. In three days, the Supervisory Censor will come to the Lin family to understand the situation."

"If you haven't found the murderer by then, my Lin family will definitely be accused of sisters killing each other and having bad family traditions."

"For the Lin family, whether you find out the truth or not, there must be a murderer in this matter."

His words were light, but Lin Zhiqing understood the meaning behind them.

If he had not found out the truth, for the sake of the Lin family, Lin Congli would definitely push himself forward to settle the matter.

By then, I will definitely die!

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing's voice was as cold as ice: "It's a deal!"

After that, before Lin Congli could say anything, someone in the crowd started to pick a fight:

"If she was the one who poisoned the place in the first place, and that maid just put on a good show, wouldn't asking her to investigate the case just give her the opportunity to frame someone?"

Lin Zhiqing only glanced at the man and then spoke to Lin Congli again, "Uncle, to ensure that this matter is absolutely open and transparent, please send two people with strong martial arts skills to supervise my investigation."

"I will never commit a crime under the nose of someone with great martial arts skills."

"But please be sure to send two reliable men, because the murderer may still be hiding among us."

"This..." Lin Congli didn't expect Lin Zhiqing to make such a request, and was speechless for a moment.

Lin Zhiqing certainly did not make this request on a whim. He made this request not only to dispel everyone's suspicions, but also to ensure his own safety.

But if there is only one, there is no guarantee that someone will take the opportunity to put someone next to her and endanger her life.

If there are two, they can also check and balance each other.

After thinking for a while, Lin Congli shouted to the outside: "Shi'an, follow Lin Zhiqing and make sure you keep an eye on her."

Lin Zhiqing followed Lin Congli's gaze and saw that the baby-faced man with excellent skills frowned and responded reluctantly.

Is he the only one?
Lin Zhiqing was about to ask, but Lin Congli had already seen through her thoughts: "Shi'an is a martial arts expert, one person is enough."

"Uncle, can't the Lin family find another person with great martial arts skills?" Lin Zhiqing was still not satisfied with this arrangement.

She was afraid that there was someone behind Lin Shian who would make trouble or attack her in secret.

Hearing her words, Lin Congli frowned slightly: "Thanks to you, the man with great martial arts skills is lying unconscious in bed."

Cousin? Although Lin Zhiqing was dissatisfied, he did not say anything.

She knew that the current situation was not favorable for her, and if she spoke again, it would definitely cause Lin Congli's dissatisfaction.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Zhiqing was about to nod when he heard a burst of messy footsteps.

Then, there were two male voices:

"Qing'er, I'm here to help you!"

"If there is no one in your house, I can still help."

Caught off guard, they heard two unfamiliar voices, and everyone in the Lin family looked sideways.

When Lin Zhiqing turned around, he saw two men, or to be exact, two very handsome men.

And their handsomeness is very different.

The man on the left is wearing a purple-gold robe with narrow sleeves and pleats, which makes him look very capable.

He had a smile on his face and looked very honest and reliable. His face was tough and heroic, and his steps were big and fast.

The other man, on the other hand, was wearing a moon-white robe with wide sleeves. He walked slowly and had a stern look on his face.

He raised his hand and bowed to Lin Congli and others.

Before Lin Zhiqing and others could take a closer look, a path appeared between the two men.

A woman wearing a lake green corseted long skirt and a green jade hairpin on her head walked out slowly.

She bowed to Lin Congli and the other three and said, "Nanyue greets Master Lin. I hope Master Lin will not be offended by my hasty visit."

While she was speaking, the two men had already stood on Lin Zhiqing's left and right, and their intention to protect her was very obvious.

Lin Zhiqing raised his eyebrows. Looking at the actions of these people, it seemed that they were very familiar with the original owner?
Before she could think deeply, the woman who called herself "Nan Yue" spoke again: "We also heard it just now. Why don't I, my brother, and Prince Jiang supervise Sister Zhiqing together?"

When Lin Zhiqing heard this, his eyes moved. The current situation was very clear. These three people were not members of the Lin family.

If they come to help him, it would indeed be better than the Lin family who dislike him very much.

However, since I am an outsider, there is a hint of uncertainty.

Especially now that she has no memory of the original owner, if there are bad people in this group of people or she accidentally reveals her true identity when interacting with them, it will be more troublesome than facing the Lin family.

Taking all these uncertainties into consideration, Lin Zhiqing planned to observe the words and actions of the few people again.

Lin Congli, who was sitting at the top, looked at the three "uninvited guests" with his eyelids drooping. He wasn't very happy, but he still raised the corners of his mouth:
"Nanyue, it's enough for you and Lu Huai to have this heart. Zhiqing is under the care of her cousin, so we are relieved."

"Uncle Lin, it is precisely because we are not members of the Lin family that we can supervise Zhiqing from a more objective perspective. Moreover, my father is a great scholar of the current dynasty. The entire Dasheng knows that he is the most fair and strict, and he will definitely not let anyone suffer an injustice."

The stern-faced man took a step forward and spoke gently and politely.

Lin Congli choked, his eyebrows lowered, and the smile on his lips gradually disappeared: "Lu Huai, I haven't seen your father for a long time. Say hello to him for me."

"You and your sister grew up together. Since you have this intention, I will hand her over to you."

After hearing this, Lin Zhiqing couldn't help but look at the stern man.

Combining the conversation between the few people just now, she confirmed that the man and the woman who just spoke were the Lu siblings mentioned by Lin Congli, Lu Huai and Lu Nanyue, who grew up with the original owner.

Lu Huai and the others were outsiders, and Lin Congli was quite dissatisfied with their interference in the Lin family's affairs. If someone spread these things out, it would damage the reputation of the Lin family.

But Lu Huai first put forward the word "objective", and with just a few words he turned the "outsider" into someone who was more conducive to maintaining fairness.

Then he brought out the reputation of his father as a great scholar, which made Lin Congli and others somewhat afraid.

He brought the art of language to its fullest potential. After a series of combined attacks, Lin Congli had no room for rebuttal, both emotionally and logically.

Lin Zhiqing saw that Lin Congli's chest rose and fell slightly, the corners of his eyes were raised, and the corners of his mouth were drooped. According to the research of behaviorist psychology and micro-expression psychology, these actions and expressions all express the emotions of "anger and dissatisfaction."

These people must be extraordinary since they can make Lin Congli lose face.

Lu Huai and Lu Nanyue are descendants of great Confucian scholars, so what about the other man?

Lin Zhiqing looked at the tough man on the right.
