Chapter 109 Study, Seal, and Keepsake
Moreover, the person who could replace Lin Congyan quietly must not be a stranger.

On the contrary, this person must be very familiar with him, so he was able to get his seal.

There are not many people who meet this condition. Lin Zhiqing slowly raised his head and looked at Lin Shian.

As the two looked at each other, the same person appeared in their minds.

Fourth uncle’s personal servant!
Just like Lin Zhiqing would entrust important matters to Aunt Mu, his uncle and fourth uncle all had servants to serve them.

Lin Zhiqing remembered that the servant serving his fourth uncle was very handsome.

"When Fourth Uncle was arrested, it was his servant who came to inform him. He has now returned to the Fourth Academy and comes here from time to time to inquire about the news." Lin Shi'an clapped his hands: "I will send someone to do it now... No, I will go and bring him here myself."

After saying that, Lin Shian called a few people to go with him.

A quarter of an hour later, Fourth Uncle's servant greeted Lin Zhiqing and the others with a puzzled look on his face: "Miss Zhiqing, what can I do for you?"

Lin Zhiqing narrowed his eyes and said, "How dare you! My fourth uncle treats you well, why would you do such a thing to let him down!"

Get the head start!

The servant was startled, his eyes rolled around, his lips pursed tightly, and the next moment he knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly:
"Miss Zhiqing, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time!"

When these words were spoken, Lin Zhiqing and the other two looked at each other. How could they ask such a simple question?
The servant was trembling and on the verge of tears. "There's been no news from the master, and the mistress is behind closed doors, not caring about anything. I was so frightened that I quietly took a few things to exchange for money."

"Everyone says the Lin family is going to break up, Miss. I don't believe the master would do such a thing, but if I can't escape, I have to think about my family, Miss!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them immediately understood that they were talking about different things.

Lin Yangyang was a little angry, but she also knew that it was human nature to seek good fortune and avoid danger.

This boy didn't run away when the Lin family got into trouble last time. Now he probably really thinks that the Lin family has reached the end of its rope.

Thinking of this, she sighed: "Who asked you this? I'm asking you, have you ever been to Peach Blossom Spring?"

The servant stopped kowtowing, his eyes reddened. "Peach... Peach Blossom Spring?"

Realizing he had made a mistake, his ears instantly turned red: "I have been there."

Lin Zhiqing narrowed his eyes: "When was the last time you went there, and how did you go?"

The servant sniffed and said almost without hesitation, "The last time I went there was in the beginning of winter last year, with my master and... Aunt Chun."

"You're lying!" Lin Yangyang raised her eyebrows high.

The servant opened his mouth slightly, obviously a little confused by these words. He thought he had remembered it wrong and started to think seriously again.

Lin Zhiqing sat aside, carefully observing the expression on the servant's face.

He frowned tightly at first, but then he thought of something and his brows immediately relaxed. He even nodded, as if confirming his own thoughts.

"Miss Yangyang, I remember it clearly. It was in the beginning of winter last year when my master got a new concubine and took Concubine Chun to visit several times." His tone was very certain:
"Except for these few times, I have never been there again."

He is telling the truth!

Lin Zhiqing stood up and said, "You haven't been there, so where is your master?"

He shook his head without hesitation: "Except for the few days after Concubine Chun was born, my master only goes to Taohuayuan in the early summer every year."

As soon as these words were spoken, Aunt Mu, who was standing beside her, raised her head with confusion and surprise in her eyes, but she quickly lowered her head.

Lin Zhiqing didn't notice Aunt Mu's little action, and looked into the distance with a frown.

It’s early summer again!
What exactly is Mengxia?
According to the servant, when Lin Congyan first got Concubine Chun, he was not actually indifferent to her as he said.

After all, being able to break his routine shows that there is still some affection.

After suppressing this thought, she calmed herself down and continued to ask, "We need a token to go to the Peach Blossom Spring. Do you know where Fourth Uncle's token is?" The servant did not expect that things would take such a sudden turn. He thought that his theft was exposed and he was doomed.

But now the direction of things has completely gone astray, and he also realized that this matter might be related to the Ministry of Justice's detention of the master.

He has been serving the master since he was a child until now, so of course he has some feelings for him. Although Lin Congyan looks indifferent, he has actually never treated them badly.

Thinking of this, he answered without hesitation: "My master's things have always been kept by me, of course I know!"

Is the stuff still there... Lin Yangyang frowned and was about to speak when Lin Zhiqing interrupted her and said to the servant:

"Go get it now."

The servant stood up quickly and went to the backyard again accompanied by Lin Shian.

Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang were waiting in the front hall.

One is standing and the other is sitting, and their states are completely different.

Half an hour later, Lin Shian and the servant entered the room, both of them looking unhappy.

Lin Shian shook his head at Lin Zhiqing, and the token disappeared.

Lin Zhiqing received Lin Shian's message, and she was not too surprised, because this was within her expectations:
"Think about it carefully. Besides you, who else can get access to that thing?" Lin Zhiqing looked at the servant again.

The servant shook his head, very sure: "No one else will be able to touch that thing."

Lin Zhiqing frowned, took a deep breath, and tapped the table with her fingers.

The servant was already shocked and suspicious, and his thoughts were quickly interrupted by the sound of her knocking on the table.

Seeing this, Lin Zhiqing fixed his eyes on the servant with a hint of encouragement in his eyes.

The servant looked into her eyes and always felt that the person in front of him was a little blurry.

Seeing that the time had come, she stopped knocking on the table.

Then he suddenly snapped his fingers.

Lin Yangyang was startled by the sound of snapping fingers. Just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by Lin Shian.

Lin Shian clearly saw that the moment Lin Zhiqing snapped his fingers, the servant's eyes suddenly lost focus and stared blankly ahead.

He was filled with doubt and uncertainty, yet also a hint of curiosity.

Lin Zhiqing asked again, "Besides you and Fourth Uncle, there is a third person who has access to the Fourth Master's keepsake. Who is he most likely to be?"

Her voice was ethereal, as if floating in the air.

A trace of confusion appeared in the servant's eyes: "A token? A token from Peach Blossom Spring?"

"Yes, a token of Peach Blossom Spring." Lin Zhiqing answered as he said.

"Besides me, there's also..." The servant said without a second thought:

"Master Jiusi, study, seal, and token."

Lin Jiusi! ?

After getting the answer he wanted, Lin Zhiqing's lips twitched slightly: "You are sleepy."

After saying that, she snapped her fingers again.

Under the surprised gazes of Lin Shian and Lin Yangyang, the servant's body softened and he collapsed to the ground...
