Chapter 419 A Shocking Situation
He emphasized the name "Aqing," clearly feeling that Yan Yu had some issues with how Lin Zhiqing was addressed.

Yan Yu chuckled: "Yes, yes, Qing, believe me~"

His calling her "A-Qing" gave Lin Zhiqing goosebumps. She rubbed her hands together.
"There's no question of believing or disbelieving; I just had some doubts at the time."

"Because the characteristics of the Yan Yu are quite obvious, it's impossible for Jiang Yunhe and Jiang Liuyun not to recognize it."

"They're not making a move simply because they're waiting for us to make one."

"The only person we can target is Zhou Chongzheng, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, which is why I felt something was wrong."

"The reason I didn't tell Yan Yu beforehand was that these were all just guesses at the time, and I was afraid that we would act unnaturally if we said it outright."

If it doesn't look natural, then it's not very credible.

Yan Yu pursed his lips: "Is that all?"

Lin Zhiqing blinked twice: "Of course."

"You're clearly afraid that if you tell me in advance, I'll abandon the mission or run away beforehand, right?" Yan Yu crossed his arms, his eyes full of disdain.

Lin Zhiqing shrugged: "You said it yourself."

In fact, Lin Zhiqing did have this idea.

Too many variables, and the plan will be exposed.

Yan Yu was in a good mood and, unusually, didn't argue with Lin Zhiqing, but continued speaking:
"You've certainly got a good plan. In this matter of court hearings, the only thing the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion is worried about is you and me, the two variables."

“They used Zhou Chongzheng, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, to fabricate a story about me going missing, and then used me as an excuse to deliberately fall into the trap of Qiwu Mountain.”

"The Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion was probably hiding somewhere, laughing all the way to the bank, killing two birds with one stone, eliminating both you and me at the same time?"

Yan Yu used a declarative tone.

His conclusion is correct.

Lu Nanyue nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder you suddenly appeared at the court hearing. So it was all planned by Xiao Qing'er beforehand?"

At this point, she gently patted her chest and looked at Lin Zhiqing:

“Xiao Qing’er, I was so worried when I heard you fell off the cliff. And Xiao Huai, Yun Feng told me he jumped after you.”

"I thought you'd never see them again."

Her eyes were a little red.

Lin Yangyang also spoke up loudly: "I was terrified at that time, even knowing it was acting, it was still scary!"

"Thank goodness, thank goodness you're all alright."

Lin Zhiqing and Lu Huai exchanged a glance, and then Lu Huai spoke first:
"Sister, I'm still standing here perfectly fine. With such a commotion caused by the Lu family, people who don't know the situation might think I've passed away."

"Say it again?" Lu Nanyue pinched Lu Huai.

Lu Huai winced in pain and glanced at Lin Zhiqing.

Lin Zhiqing smiled secretly, not stopping Lu Nanyue's actions, but looking at Yan Yu:

"Yan Yu, I didn't know about your background before. Do you need me to help you find your younger brother?"

At this point, Yan Yu's eyes dimmed slightly, and the corners of his mouth fell down:

“I have some clues that his disappearance is related to Jiang Yunhe.”

"Lin Zhiqing, I want to see him before Jiang Yunhe is executed."

Yan Yu did not believe that the imperial court could extract anything from Jiang Yunhe.

Noticing how he addressed her, Lin Zhiqing understood the importance of this matter to Yan Yu. She nodded and then spoke:
"Don't worry, I also have some questions I want to ask Jiang Yunhe."

Mentioning Jiang Yunhe, Lin Shi'an's expression was one of deep disgust:

“I had no idea about the details of what happened back then. My third uncle has been wronged for so long, but now he has finally been cleared of all charges.”

"He is a hero. He doesn't seek to be remembered for generations, but he fought his way to the world with his blood and sweat. He shouldn't have to endure such scorn."

Not only Lin Congrong, but everyone has a goal to strive for. Lin Congrong's injustice is the same for Lin Zhiqing.

This is how Yan Yu's younger brother was to Yan Yu.

"Zhiqing, it is a blessing for the Lin family to have you." Lin Shi'an was very grateful.

He remembered that this wasn't the first time he'd said something like that, but he also knew it wouldn't be the last.

He had always known that his younger sister was intelligent, but this time, he sincerely admired Lin Zhiqing.

She is meticulous and perceptive, able to notice things others miss, plan ten steps ahead, and most importantly, always accurately anticipate everyone's psychology.

This is extremely difficult.

Most importantly, under Lin Zhiqing's leadership, they brought down a behemoth.

The Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion was the most prestigious family in the entire Shengjing City, while the Lin family was on its last legs, constantly walking on the edge of a cliff, and would be doomed if it was not careful.

Despite the dire situation, Lin Zhiqing managed to pull the entire Lin family back from the brink of disaster.

Not only that, she also pushed the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion down.

Lin Shi'an felt from the bottom of his heart that without Lin Zhiqing, they would never have made it this far.

It is very likely that he had already collapsed when Lin Yangyang was poisoned or Lin Congyan was wrongly accused.

Previously, he followed Lin Congli, always believing that being obedient and keeping a low profile would allow the Lin family to continue to thrive. But now it seems that only by constantly strengthening itself can it find a way out.

"The Lin family's good fortune, interesting." Yan Yu's lips curled up slightly.

His eyes were full of smiles when he looked at Lin Zhiqing, and upon closer inspection, one could even see a hint of appreciation.

At first, he didn't think that this slender woman could seek justice for Lin Congrong and the wronged souls who died unjustly.

Because the Lin family is like an old man who can't even walk steadily, how can he fight against those young and vigorous people?
But as it turned out, they not only won the fight, but won it brilliantly.

After accomplishing one by one those things that once seemed unattainable, Yan Yu released all the hatred and resentment that had been suppressed in his heart.

It must be said that without Lin Zhiqing, the Lin family would have been finished long ago.

Yan Yu had seen many women; some were dignified and polite, some were charming and cute, and some were heroic and spirited.

But only Lin Zhiqing could be considered intelligent in his eyes.

This is not an ordinary word, and it refers to more than just a clever mind.

Thinking of this, Yan Yu smiled and tapped Lin Zhiqing's head with his fan:
"You did a good job this time."

Lin Zhiqing rubbed the top of his head: "I do a good job every time."

He said it with great confidence, but no one questioned it.

She does a good job every time.

Lu Huai narrowed his eyes slightly and, under the guise of pouring water, subtly positioned himself between Yan Yu and Lin Zhiqing.

"Ah Qing, are you tired?" he asked.

Lin Zhiqing stretched and said, "It's really not a good place to stay at the bottom of that cliff. I want to take a good rest."

After speaking, she grasped Lu Huai's hand, examined it carefully, and a hint of worry appeared in her voice:

“You’ve suffered many injuries; you really don’t need to come with me today.”

Lu Huai smiled and shook his head: "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. I can't rest easy until I see Jiang Yunhe fall to the bottom."

Lu Nanyue watched the interaction between the two and was genuinely happy.

Yan Yu shifted to the side, a hint of confusion on his face:

"By the way, what happened to Jiang Liuyun today?"

"Is he possessed by a ghost?"
