Chapter 435 Honey and Poison

Upon hearing this, the woman's hand indeed paused for a moment.

The next moment, Lin Zhiqing felt his hand loosen.

Blood was already on her right hand, but she refused to let go and picked up the umbrella with her left hand.

"It's useless. Even if you have that umbrella, you can't touch me in the slightest." The woman's words were as cold as ice.

She stared at Lin Zhiqing, then looked at Jiang Liuyun: "Wake him up, or I can kill you at any time!"

Lin Zhiqing noticed that when she said this, her eyebrows were raised and her nostrils twitched, making her appear very confident.

Lin Zhiqing is now in a dilemma.

If Jiang Liuyun is not awakened, this woman will definitely not let her go.

If Jiang Liuyun were awakened, the woman would likely attack her in that instant.

She frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then took a deep breath.

If she could awaken Jiang Liuyun, she might still have a chance to survive.

Even though the Lin and Jiang families had reached this point, Jiang Liuyun still didn't want to kill her; instead, he wanted to take her away.

This at least means that she is safe for the time being.

Alternatively, she could try to delay waking Jiang Liuyun, or find an opportunity to hypnotize the woman.

Thinking of this, she patted the hem of her skirt.

The woman frowned: "Hurry up, don't try any tricks."

As she spoke, she walked to Jiang Liuyun's side, very wary.

Lin Zhiqing frowned and took out the jade flute.

As she played slowly, the jade flute produced a very melodious sound.

As she played the flute, she subtly observed the woman.

The chances of directly hypnotizing someone with flute music are relatively small. Generally, it requires constructing a very rich emotional world, like Liu Mang or Jiang Liuyun.

Alternatively, you could make a mental assumption beforehand.

Neither of these points applies to the woman in front of us.

Lin Zhiqing's flute playing grew increasingly passionate.

Now, she can only try her best; otherwise, she might very well perish here.

The woman frowned slowly as she listened to Lin Zhiqing's flute music.

Half an incense stick's time had passed, but Jiang Liuyun showed no signs of waking up.

How is this going?

The woman stepped forward and reached out to hit Lin Zhiqing in the face.

Lin Zhiqing frowned, raised her jade flute to block, and then quickly spoke:
"If this jade flute breaks, Jiang Liuyun will never wake up again in this lifetime."

With just one sentence, the woman lowered her hand.

"If you want to save people, then show the attitude of saving people," Lin Zhiqing said coldly.
"If I die, at least I can take someone down with me, so I won't be alone on the road to the underworld."

The woman narrowed her eyes upon hearing this: "Are you threatening me?"

"Is that not allowed?" Lin Zhiqing smiled.
"Are you suggesting I should just let you beat and scold me? Is this some kind of humiliating situation?"

"You!" The woman took a step forward, but then restrained herself and did not attack Lin Zhiqing.

Lin Zhiqing had a general idea of ​​what was going on. She observed the woman for a moment, then spoke:
"Are you the sister of the mole-maker?"

"Heh." The woman sneered, readily admitting it:

"You still remember such a person, Miss Lin?"

The way he called her "Miss Lin" sounded rather like he was gritting his teeth.

Then, her expression changed, and her tone became extremely fierce:

"Don't waste time, get started!"

"What's your hurry?" Lin Zhiqing put down the jade flute.

"I need to have a serious talk with you about what happened to the girl with the mole." "A life for a life, that's only right and proper."

"But please make this clear: I didn't kill Mole Mother, nor did I, a member of the Lin family, kill her."

"You're still lying even now, how cunning!" The woman couldn't help but take a step forward, then stepped back.
"I know who is right and who is wrong. Let's get started!"

Lin Zhiqing held the jade flute in front of him as a form of defense:
"I have nothing to lie to you about. Jiang Liuyun knows this too. Didn't he tell you?"

She said this with a perfectly timed questioning tone; it was a divisive remark.

The woman lowered her head slightly, as if she was thinking.

There was no look of doubt or surprise on her face.

Lin Zhiqing immediately realized that Jiang Liuyun must have mentioned this, but the woman in front of her didn't believe it.

Why don't you believe it?

Lin Zhiqing didn't have time to think about this, and she spoke again:
"Furthermore, if we're talking about the culprit behind the death of the girl with the mole, do you really not know who it is?"

Jiang Liuyun is a person with an extremely strong desire for control, and he is also very cold-blooded.

The deaths of Mole Mother and Aunt Mu are linked together, and almost all of them were orchestrated by Jiang Liuyun.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing patiently guided him, speaking again:
"Jiang Liuyun rescued Mole Girl from the Ministry of Justice prison because of you, didn't he?"

It's a question, but it's stated in a declarative tone.

For reasons unknown, the woman moved closer to Jiang Liuyun, and the distance between them exceeded the safe distance between men and women.

She looked at Lin Zhiqing, hoping to see dissatisfaction or jealousy on his face, but there was none.

Lin Zhiqing simply looked at her calmly.

Clearly, loving someone is not something that everyone can do.

She thought Lin Zhiqing had at least a sliver of feeling for Jiang Liuyun, but there was nothing.

This is a heartless woman; she has defined Lin Zhiqing in her heart.

Little did she know that while she was observing Lin Zhiqing, Lin Zhiqing was also observing her.

However, Lin Zhiqing mostly used the mole-faced woman as a starting point to analyze the woman in front of him.

The relationship between Jiang Liuyun and the person in front of him was obvious.

Previously, Lin Zhiqing guessed that Jiang Liuyun liked Zhi Niang so much that he was willing to offend the Minister of Justice and break the law in order to rescue her.

But now she realized that everything Jiang Liuyun did for Mole Mother was likely an extension of his affection for her.

The one I love, of course, is the woman in front of me.

This is a truth that has remained unknown to most people.

Lin Zhiqing spoke in a calm tone:
“I don’t know your name, but I have a clear conscience regarding the matter of the mole mother.”

"A clear conscience?" The woman scoffed. "On what grounds do you speak such words?"

Lin Zhiqing did not answer the question, but changed the subject:
"The reason I noticed Mole Mother in the first place was because Jiang Liuyun killed my relative, Aunt Mu, and had Mole Mother act as an intermediary to contact my maid."

"It can be said that Mole Girl was my enemy from the start."

"But it was Jiang Liuyun who threw her out as an enemy."

At this point, Lin Zhiqing paused for a moment: "Does Jiang Liuyun love you?"

“Of course,” the woman replied quickly.

When it comes to love, everyone thinks they are the leading lady.

Lin Zhiqing nodded: "He may love you, but this kind of love is both honey and poison."

Honey can slowly erode you, and arsenic can slowly corrode you.

"The Jiang Liuyun I know probably loves himself more."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have exposed your sister in the open just to set me up."

"Also, you might think he loves me, but he doesn't."

Lin Zhiqing's eyes were very clear:

"He let me go time and time again simply because he wanted me to see his true feelings and change my mind."
