Chapter 122: Good Deeds Lead to Good Results

Under what circumstances could she run away?

After arriving in Dasheng, Lin Zhiqing familiarized himself with the laws in order to integrate as quickly as possible.

Unless Fourth Aunt's household registration is moved away from the Lin family, it will be impossible for her to leave the Lin family.

Even if she ran away secretly, her family would be implicated.

unless……

Lin Zhiqing narrowed his eyes.

If the Lin family falls or is unable to take care of itself, it will naturally not be able to pursue a woman who has disappeared.

Under what circumstances will people fall?
Lin Zhiqing frowned. Isn’t this the current situation?
But one thing that needs to be noted is that Fourth Aunt sold the medicinal herbs three days before Concubine Chun committed suicide!

In other words, Fourth Aunt may have known that something bad would happen to the Lin family a long time ago!
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing shuddered.

But why did Fourth Aunt know in advance that something would happen to the Lin family?
Lin Zhiqing frowned. If Fourth Aunt wasn't a prophet, she could only think of one explanation.

That is, Fourth Aunt knew that Aunt Chun would sue for death, so she also knew that something bad would happen to the Lin family, so she made a series of preparations.

There are three possibilities as to why she knew in advance that Aunt Chun would die.

First, it might be that Aunt Chun was grateful for Fourth Aunt’s daily care, so she told Fourth Aunt about the matter in advance.

Second, what if Fourth Aunt is Aunt Chun’s accomplice?

Third, what if it was Fourth Aunt who planned all this and pushed Concubine Chun to her death?
First of all, let's consider the first possibility. Lin Zhiqing recalled that when Fourth Aunt mentioned her first acquaintance with Fourth Uncle in the early years, the nostalgia and joy on her face could not be concealed.

But now she seems to care about her fourth uncle on the surface, but in fact she doesn't care that much.

In comparison, she seemed even sadder when she mentioned Aunt Chun.

If she hadn't deliberately made this expression to confuse Lin Zhiqing, then her relationship with Aunt Chun should have been very good.

Moreover, Lin Zhiqing also asked around today and found out that although Fourth Aunt's personality was similar to Lin Yangyang's, she was still a bit soft.

Otherwise, Lin Jingya would not have become so lawless.

It was precisely because of her soft nature and her family background as a merchant that she had never learned the secret ways of the imperial court that she had never treated the concubine in her fourth uncle's backyard harshly.

Good deeds bring good results?
Keeping this possibility as plausible for the time being, Lin Zhiqing then began to think about the second possibility.

Aunt Chun and Fourth Aunt planned this matter together, so what was their purpose?
Unable to figure this out, Lin Zhiqing shook his head and thought about the last possibility.

Fourth Aunt planned all of this. She plotted against Aunt Chun and caused her death, and also schemed against the Lin family.

No, the possibility of this speculation is too small.

First of all, Fourth Aunt’s temperament and facial expressions don’t seem like she would scheme against others.

Secondly, if Fourth Aunt planned all this, then the peach blossoms on the soles of Aunt Chun's shoes might be the result of Fourth Aunt's deliberate calculation.

But the chance of this speculation is too great.

After all, no one can be sure that a trip to Peach Blossom Spring will get peach blossoms on the soles of your shoes.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing temporarily ruled out the last possibility.

She habitually touched the Wangshu Mirror at her waist.

If Aunt Chun had informed Fourth Aunt in advance, why didn't Fourth Aunt tell the other people in the Lin family?

Moreover, Aunt Chun was plotting against the person beside her, so why was she indifferent?
If Fourth Aunt and Aunt Chun planned all this together, then what was Fourth Aunt trying to achieve?

Lin Zhiqing hadn't thought that just by meeting her fourth aunt, she would be involved in so many problems. With a sigh, Lin Zhiqing told Lin Shi'an all her speculations after returning to the Lin family that day.

She didn't tell Lin Congli. Firstly, Lin Congli was hit hard by the chaos in the Lin family and was in poor health. Secondly, given Lin Congli's personality, he would often use family rules, which might backfire.

At first, Lin Shi'an did not connect his fourth aunt with Aunt Chun, but after listening to Lin Zhiqing's careful analysis, he quickly realized the seriousness of the matter.

But the problem is that the fact that Fourth Aunt was reselling her mother's medicinal herbs is not enough to support their speculation.

In addition, the other party involved, Aunt Chun, is already dead. Unless Fourth Aunt admits it herself, their speculation will never come true and they will never know the answer.

Lin Zhiqing felt a little regretful when she thought of this. When she talked to her fourth aunt alone today, her fourth aunt's expression was obviously a little relaxed.

If she hadn't mentioned something that Fourth Aunt was very concerned about, perhaps things wouldn't be so troublesome now.

But no matter how unfortunate it was, Lin Zhiqing knew that it was useless to worry about it.

After all, she was not a fortune teller with 100% accuracy, and she couldn't figure out what Fourth Aunt cared about in her heart.

This matter still needs long-term consideration.

"Cousin, how do you think this matter should be resolved?" Lin Zhiqing placed the transaction records he had obtained from various major medical clinics on the table and stared at Lin Shian quietly.

She already had an idea in mind.

But if she is relied upon to provide answers every time something goes wrong, it is hard to guarantee that the other members of the Lin family will not develop a dependent mentality over time.

The Lin family cannot get back on its feet relying on Lin Zhiqing alone.

Unfortunately, Lin Shian and Lin Yangyang are still a little immature. They have been executing Lin Zhiqing's decisions for the past few days and do not have the ability to think independently.

It just so happened that there was such an opportunity, and she also wanted to see what solution her cousin would come up with.

Lin Shian didn't know what Lin Zhiqing was thinking. She looked at the precious medicinal herbs on the list, pondered for a while, and picked up the pen to write a letter:

"I sent a letter to Bianliang, inviting Lin Jingya to come back to Shengjing for a chat."

Children can be taught!
Hearing this, Lin Zhiqing nodded slightly. His cousin's ideas were a bit old-fashioned, but he was not stupid.

He knew that Fourth Aunt's weakness was Lin Jingya, and planned to start from this point.

This coincides with Lin Zhiqing's idea.

Time is urgent, and it will take at least two days to bring Lin Jingya back, which is definitely too late.

Inviting Lin Jingya to have a chat was just an excuse. Lin Shian had two real intentions.

First, create the illusion that they are in contact with Bianliang and have control over Lin Jingya.

Second, let Lord Lin, who is far away in Bianliang, know about this matter so that he can better cooperate with the actions in Shengjing.

After confirming that Lin Shian's idea coincided with his own, Lin Zhiqing nodded and agreed to his idea of ​​writing a letter.

At the same time, Fourth Aunt's heart beat fast when she learned that Lin Zhiqing had left the Lin family after she left and did not return until sunset.

She guessed that Lin Zhiqing had seen something, but she still had a certain amount of hope in her heart.

After all, as long as you don't say it, no one will know the truth.

She thought about it again and confirmed that she had prepared the carriage and money. As long as she waited one more day and the matter at the Ministry of Justice was completed, no one would notice her anymore.

By then, she can send Lin Jingya away!
The anxiety and uneasiness in her heart had made her forget the guilty conscience and awkwardness she felt when facing Lin Zhiqing.

It also made her lose the courage to tell everything.

There was only one thought left in her mind: wait one more day, just one more day!
