Chapter 375 I only kill, I don't save!
All of these things can be connected.

If it weren't for Lu Huai, Lin Zhiqing would never have thought of another person who could be so thoughtful.

Moreover, there is one more thing.

As Yan Yu said, the story of falling at the villa was fabricated by Lin Zhiqing.

Before this, she had not told anyone where she had fallen.

How was Lu Huai able to accurately place the newly prepared veiled hat where he fell?

Unless Lu Huai has mind-reading abilities, it is highly unlikely that he could have accurately predicted this without having spoken with Lin Zhiqing beforehand.

Lin Zhiqing frowned, deep in thought.

No, there's another possibility.

The Minister of Justice's guards went out to search for the veiled hat for some time.

In other words, only a handful of people knew where Lin Zhiqing had fallen.

Lin Zhiqing, Chaoyan, the Minister of Justice and his wife, Jiang Liuyun, and... the Minister of Justice's trusted bodyguard.

Apart from the guards, almost no one else left the room.

In other words, it is very likely that the guard of the Minister of Justice revealed information about Lin Zhiqing to Lu Huai.

It's also possible that the guard was one of Lu Huai's men!

Having analyzed it to this point, all doubts are resolved.

Lin Zhiqing was filled with mixed emotions.

Yan Yu raised an eyebrow, noticing her mood, and then his eyes darted around:
"Let me guess, this veiled hat wasn't sent by your lover, was it?"

Lin Zhiqing frowned: "What lover?"

“That Lu Huai!” Yan Yu rubbed his chin. “I’ve met him.”

Lin Zhiqing's expression instantly turned serious: "You investigated him?"

"Is it really necessary to be so fierce?" Yan Yu chuckled.
"Besides, he's the only one named Lu Huai in the entire Shengjing City. How could I possibly mistake him for someone else?"

"I saw him not long after I entered the villa yesterday. Is he also part of your plan?"

of course not.

However, Lin Zhiqing did not answer the question. She frowned and said, "Yan Yu, if you have nothing better to do, go outside and find out some information."

"What's so interesting about that?" Yan Yu picked up a fruit and started playing with it.

"With witnesses and physical evidence, Jiang Liuyun can't escape."

"Who told him to have such bad intentions? He insisted on finding a woman to seduce Li Jinzhi, hoping to find something to use against him again. In the end, he tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead?"

“That woman is the best evidence. Just ask her and we’ll know she’s from the Zhenyuan Marquis’s mansion.”

"I also applied the sleeping potion that caused Li Jinzhi's death to that woman."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiqing raised an eyebrow: "You didn't use the sleeping incense I gave you."

Although she was asking a question, she used a declarative tone, clearly indicating that she had already confirmed that Yan Yu had switched the sleeping potion.

Yan Yu did not refute, but instead said with a hint of disdain: "What use is your little bit of stuff? Not only is it easy for people to find out its source, but it's also slow to take effect."

"What medicine did you use?" Lin Zhiqing asked.

"It's also a sleeping potion, but much more advanced than yours." Yan Yu took a bite of the fruit.
"Anyway, if a coroner investigates, he will only find out that Li Jinzhi died from an overdose of aphrodisiacs."

"Isn't this a perfect match? Jiang Liuyun arranged for a woman to approach Li Jinzhi, and even used a sleeping potion just in case."

"Who knew that the amount of sleeping incense wasn't controlled properly and it killed the person."

Yan Yu seemed very satisfied with his actions.

"Not bad." Lin Zhiqing clapped his hands.

With Yan Yu taking charge, Lin Zhiqing was indeed spared a lot of trouble.

But she was still curious, so she asked again:

"Where did you get that sleeping potion? Won't it be discovered?"

Mentioning this, Yan Yu raised his chin: "That's a secret formula that I personally developed, they can't find it even if they want to!" "You know medicine?" Lin Zhiqing was a little surprised.

Yan Yu waved his finger: "No, I only kill, I don't save."

"Poison? You know how to use poison?" Lin Zhiqing immediately realized.

Yan Yu simply smiled and said, "Whatever you say, Skeleton Spirit."

Then, with his hands behind his back, he slowly left Shuqing Pavilion.

"What a strange person." Lin Zhiqing shook his head as he watched Yan Yu's retreating figure.

Although Yan Yu did not admit it, Lin Zhiqing still had his own judgment.

The person could make a sleeping potion but lacked medical skills; it seemed there was no other possibility besides poisons.

However, the snipe was still very well hidden.

At least Lin Zhiqing had only assumed that Yan Yu knew martial arts and had not realized that he could use poison.

Such an unpredictable person seems to be shrouded in many mysteries.

However, these are not currently within Lin Zhiqing's considerations.

After the surroundings quieted down, she couldn't help but think of Lu Huai.

Lu Huai helped her, time and time again.

Especially this time, if it weren't for Lu Huai's intervention, the entire plan wouldn't have been able to proceed so smoothly.

Lin Zhiqing is currently experiencing inner conflict.

She knew very well that she had fallen for Lu Huai.

Both Lu Huai and Jiang Liuyun have said that she is ruthless, but she only feels heartache when Lu Huai says such things to her.

But now, trapped in prison, she still feels like she doesn't belong to this world.

Various factors have led her to remain unwilling to relinquish her caution.

If she were to stay with Lu Huai, what would Lu Huai do if she left Da Sheng one day?
What should she do?
Lin Zhiqing could never figure out these questions.

But the next day, she still brought some gifts as a token of her gratitude and went to the Lu family.

Lu Zhen was not in Shengjing City; only Lu Huai and Lu Nanyue were keeping things running in the huge mansion.

Actually, when you think about it, these two siblings have had a tough time too.

Especially Lu Huai.

Lu Nanyue had no interest in court affairs; if the Lu family wanted to establish itself in Shengjing City, they could only do so through Lu Huai.

Unfortunately, Lu Huai is not here today either.

Lu Nanyue received Lin Zhiqing.

"Come on, why did you bring so much stuff?" Lu Nanyue led Lin Zhiqing to her courtyard.

"You've helped me a lot, of course I have to thank you." Lin Zhiqing smiled.

Lu Nanyue was polite in words, but her hands were quite honest as she started taking things apart.

Lin Zhiqing smiled and pushed a small box in front of Lu Nanyue:

"Here, everything is prepared for you."

Lu Nanyue rubbed her hands together, and when she opened the box, she found it was full of large silver ingots. She was overjoyed.

She grabbed a silver ingot and bit into it, overjoyed: "Little Qing'er, you really understand me."

"Of course." Lin Zhiqing smiled and asked:
"Where is Lu Huai?"

"Him? I heard there was something important going on at the Ministry of Revenue yesterday, but it didn't work out, so he went there early this morning," Lu Nanyue replied casually.

Yesterday... Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly. Did he go to that poetry gathering yesterday to handle some matters related to the Ministry of Revenue?
It didn't work out? Was it because of me that it didn't work out?
Seeing that Lin Zhiqing seemed lost in thought, Lu Nanyue waved at her and said, "Little Qing'er, do you miss my Xiao Huai?"

Lin Zhiqing immediately realized what she meant and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lu Nanyue smiled and said, "What's wrong with saying this?"

"You two are of similar age, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. I would be very happy if you were together."
