Chapter 126 Triple Trap
Upon hearing this, Fourth Aunt and Lin Shi'an were both stunned.

Lin Zhiqing actually told this matter in front of Fourth Aunt... This surprised Lin Shian a little.

What about the affair between Lin Jiusi and Concubine Chun?

Facing Lin Shian's somewhat surprised look, Lin Zhiqing slowly spoke: "Fourth Aunt, Qianjin Pavilion belongs to Lin Jiusi. He and Concubine Chun have known each other for a long time. Concubine Chun was specially sent to Fourth Uncle by Lin Jiusi."

Lin Zhiqing's words contained a lot of information. Aunt Four couldn't help but open her mouth wide and was speechless for a long time.

"Chunqin and Jiusi..." Besides being surprised, Fourth Aunt's face was filled with sudden realization.

"If that's the case, I went to see Jiusi earlier and I had some doubts about him."

"But Chunqin acted so pitiful that I don't know why I was deceived by her and separated Qianjin Pavilion from her."

Fourth Aunt's expression was a little confused.

When Lin Zhiqing heard this, he narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

Fourth Aunt confided all her doubts: "Besides, what's the point of Jiusi sending Chunqin to Congyan?"

Seeing that she was at a loss for words, Lin Zhiqing sighed and pointed out directly:
"Fourth Aunt, Lin Jiusi wants the power in Fourth Uncle's hands. Fourth Uncle has no other weaknesses except for his weakness when it comes to women."

After Lin Zhiqing said this, Fourth Aunt quickly reacted.

The most important point is that Chunqin looks like Lin Zhiqing's mother!

If it was for power, Lin Jiusi did have a motive.

"Was it Jiusi who instructed Chunqin to deceive me?" Fourth Aunt felt that the chair under her was getting hot, but her heart was chilled.

Lin Shian was also very curious about this question. From his point of view, there was no need for Lin Jiusi to do this.

Moreover, Lin Zhiqing had met Lin Jiusi alone before, and he knew in his heart that Lin Zhiqing must know the answer.

Amidst the two's puzzled looks, Lin Zhiqing shook his head: "No, Lin Jiusi doesn't know about this either. He was also manipulated by Concubine Chun."

First of all, the simplest logic is that there is no need for Lin Jiusi to pull Fourth Aunt out, as this will increase the risk of him being exposed.

Because if Chunqin died, the first person to enter Fourth Aunt's perspective would definitely be Lin Jiusi, and the fact that Aunt Chun came from Qianjin Pavilion could not be erased.

This behavior does not have any benefit other than bringing the blame onto himself.

This is the key point!

Lin Zhiqing pinched his chin. Whether it was Lin Jiusi's side or Fourth Aunt's side, Aunt Chun contacted both of them at the same time in order to draw everyone's attention back to the Lin family when she touched them herself.

And this move was very successful. No matter what, the Lin family could not escape the vicious circle of being suspected and investigated.

Aunt Chun touched it herself, this is the first layer of the trap.

She succeeded, and Lin Congyan's arrest was inevitable. If Lin Zhiqing and others did not investigate further, the Lin family would have no ability to fight back.

Lin Jiusi's affair with Concubine Chun was exposed, which was the second trap.

She also succeeded. This move drew everyone's attention to Lin Jiusi, and Lin Jiusi himself believed that he was the one who harmed Lin Congyan and the Lin family.

If Lin Zhiqing had not noticed that there was something wrong with the peach petals, the matter would have fallen into the hands of the Lin family themselves. Both the Lin family and Lin Congyan would still not be able to escape the situation of being implicated.

Fourth Aunt behaved strangely and entered Lin Zhiqing's field of vision. This was the third trap.

Aunt Chun had a trick up her sleeve and brought Fourth Aunt into the Lin family's sight. If the people from the Ministry of Justice continued to investigate, Fourth Aunt would definitely be the final destination.

Even Lin Zhiqing had to admit that this was a very good move.

From the perspective of the Ministry of Justice, no matter which level they investigate, the problem lies with the Lin family.

If the Ministry of Justice was too hasty, there would be no need to investigate further. Just stopping at any level could lead to the Lin family's irreparable destruction. Now it seems that the Ministry of Justice does have this intention.

From the Lin family's perspective, no matter how deep the investigation goes, they cannot reveal it.

The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and family members turned against each other.

This is a dead end for the Lin family no matter what.

At first, Lin Zhiqing was not sure whether Aunt Chun had done that on purpose.

It was not until things had come to this point that she confirmed that there was indeed something wrong with the peach petals.

From the very beginning, she fell into the trap set by Aunt Chun.

So far, there is another thing that she is 100% sure of: Aunt Chun does not belong to any faction.

Her original intention was to kill the Lin family!
A gust of cold wind blew through the hall, hitting Lin Zhiqing's face. She straightened her clothes and sighed slightly.

What a big situation!

It is so meticulous, so decisive, one thing after another, making it impossible to guard against.

Was it true that Aunt Chun was sold to Qianjin Pavilion by chance and appeared in front of Lin Jiusi by chance?
Is she really just a woman from a brothel?
Moreover, when Fourth Aunt was telling them the story just now, words like "I should have" and "I don't know why" appeared many times.

This statement means that she now does not understand what she did at that time.

Although the saying "those involved in the matter are often confused" can explain it, there are still too many things that Fourth Aunt is unsure about.

Including Lin Jiusi, Lin Zhiqing only realized now when he recalled it that some of the things he mentioned at that time were also very vague.

Only psychological hypnosis can make people make choices that are contrary to their own thinking under certain circumstances.

The reason why Lin Zhiqing said it so absolutely was because there was something to support her idea.

The most obvious thing is that if this happens to one person, it can be said to be a coincidence, but if two people happen to this at the same time, there is definitely a problem.

She once again picked up her previous opinion that someone knows psychology and his level is not low!

But her suspicion shifted from Lin Jiusi to Aunt Chun.

These things suddenly flooded into Lin Zhiqing's mind, and he had a lot to think about.

Lin Shian and Fourth Aunt both noticed that she was thinking, but did not interrupt her.

But this kind of thinking is destined to be very difficult.

As the sky gradually darkened, Lin Shian noticed that Lin Zhiqing looked unhappy and stopped her directly: "Zhiqing, it's getting late. No matter what, you have to take care of yourself."

After being reminded by him, Lin Zhiqing also realized that he would not be able to think of anything just standing there.

She looked at Fourth Aunt, as if thinking about what to do with her.

Fourth Aunt clenched her handkerchief tightly, feeling regretful and afraid. Seeing that Lin Zhiqing remained silent, she could not help but speak:

"Zhiqing, although I made a mistake, this matter has nothing to do with Jingya. Whether you believe it or not, the carriage at the post station was prepared by me for Chunqin."

"I didn't know from the beginning that she was going to accuse Cong Yan of disrespect, nor did I think this matter would affect the Lin family."

She said this sincerely, and Lin Zhiqing did not express any opinion:
"My cousin will come over to keep you company later."

It’s called companionship, but in fact it’s more like surveillance.

Fourth Aunt was silent for a moment, her expression darkened, and she said nothing.
