Qin Zeng stared at her as if she were a spirit coming out of the mountains and forests, but in an instant, he convinced himself.
This girl has always had a clear mind. She followed the Li family and used her brain more. It is not impossible to think of this.
"Your second uncle is very valued by the emperor. Others teach the prince that he will always make a fuss, but your second uncle can make the prince obey."
"ah?"
Why did the topic turn to this?
Li Qingyi quickly answered, "Yes, my second uncle is actually very capable. There are some things he just doesn't like to do. If he does it, he will definitely do it well."
Qin Zeng looked at her and said, "You respect your second uncle very much."
"She is not just my second uncle, he and my second aunt are more like my parents."
Qin Zeng muttered "hmm" and then went back to his job at the Ministry of Industry. "Someone wanted to compete with Lin Shengyuan for this job. They couldn't find any flaws in him, so they wanted to start with the Lin family, but Lin Wenye He owed twenty thousand taels of gambling debt and couldn't pay it off, so he didn't dare to go to the Marquis of Nanning to ask for it, let alone Lin Shengyuan. Lin Shengyuan wouldn't pay attention to his two younger brothers at all. If the old Marquis hadn't been there, the Lin family would have The family is separated."
Li Qingyi was aware of the many conflicts in the Lin family. Just the fact that Mrs. Lin used her title to force Mr. Lin to take concubines, as well as the second and third houses' plots and slanders against Mrs. Lin for many years, had long been inextricable grievances.
"I've thought about it a lot, but I didn't expect this to be the cause... If Lin Shengyuan hadn't happened, Lin Wenye wouldn't have incurred gambling debts, Zou wouldn't have blackmailed Lin, and Lin wouldn't have killed Wen. Aunt."
Qin Zeng looked at her sighing expression and joked: "I won't attack you?"
Li Qingyi was startled when he heard this.
Mrs. Lin didn't get Wen Yuniang's silver note, but only got some jewelry. She still had a lot of money to make up for the leak. She had to find a way to raise money. She couldn't borrow it, so she had to seek it out.
Who will she attack?
I'm afraid it won't work with her princess mother, and the third wife may have some loopholes to take advantage of, but the third lady has always been very wary of Mrs. Lin, and there's nothing she can do for a while.
Then, as a foreigner who had missed so much dowry previously, would he become Lin's target?
Qin Zeng saw his face gradually changing and said amusedly: "Do you really think Mrs. Lin will reach out to you? Then she is really asking for her own death."
Qin Zeng was praising Li Qingyi, saying that she was smart and would not fall into Lin's ways.
But Li Qingyi couldn't laugh because she thought of another thing.
Qin Zeng didn't take Lin's actions seriously because he didn't know that all the Li family's property had been swallowed up by the Wei family in his previous life.
But Li Qingyi was reborn, and she knew this clearly.
The only thing unclear is what methods the Wei family used.
Now that Lin's incident has happened, it has been a wake-up call for Li Qingyi.
Could this be a clue to Lin's pursuit of wealth?
The Li family's wealth, plus the wealth accumulated by her second aunt Ruan's Qian Shengqian, cannot be matched by ten Wei families!
Just like a thief, he is addicted to stealing. No matter whether he is short of money or not, his hands are always itchy and he wants to get something for nothing!
Will Mr. Lin get a taste of the sweetness from this incident?
Li Qingyi gritted his teeth.
Let’s not talk about the past life, let’s talk about the present.
If Mrs. Lin really wanted to profit from her, would she have developed an appetite and wanted more after that, so that she reached out to the Li family?
Of course, the second uncle is not a fool, and Lin can't scheme against the second uncle, but what if Wei Shicheng takes action to promote this matter?
What if the Lin family really targeted the Li family and wanted to make money from the Li family, and attracted the attention of the Wei family, and then Wei Shicheng connived at the Lin family's actions, and finally took the Li family's wealth as his own?
All these inferences made Li Qingyi terrified!
Qin Zeng didn't know that she associated the Lin family's money-making activities with the Li family's wealth being cannibalized by the Wei family in the previous life. Seeing her face getting worse and worse, he asked, "Is there any difficulty?"
Li Qingyi said: "I don't have much connection with Aunt Wen. She
It was her own cause and effect that caused her to die. But if Mrs. Lin really targets me or even the Li family, I will make her die an ugly death! ".
"Li family?" Qin Zeng felt that Li Qingyi was thinking too far, "Lin wouldn't be so bold. She is alone, does she have any help?"
Li Qingyi shook his head: "What if Wei Shicheng is secretly adding fuel to the flames?"
Qin Zeng raised his eyebrows, "You are someone who takes one step at a time and sees ten steps ahead."
"Sir, please stop praising me. I have suffered a lot, so I naturally have to think more about it."
When Qin Zeng saw that her brows were condensed, he grimaced and said, "As long as I'm here, you won't have to be so scared and worried in the future."
Li Qingyi looked up in shock, why did he suddenly say this?
Qin Zeng looked directly at her, "You have become mine a long time ago. Do you have other choices? Do you still want to have other choices?"
"I……"
Li Qingyi didn't know how to reply for a moment.
Of course, she was happy when Qin Zeng said this.
She was just surprised that Qin Zeng would say that.
Seeing her look like this, Qin Zeng's face turned cold, "If you don't want to, I will naturally not force you."
When Li Qingyi heard this, he thought that the other party really just said this with a "responsible" attitude. However, her hesitation just now seemed to hurt the other party's self-esteem. She quickly tried to save it: "My lord, I have misunderstood. I have your protection, how can I?" I don’t want to, but I’m just happy for a moment and don’t know how to express it.”
Qin Zeng's face looked better, but he didn't quite believe it. He snorted, "Hypocritical."
Li Qingyi smiled at him mischievously: "Your Excellency, Mingjian, I am a most sincere and honest person."
The corners of Qin Zeng's lips curled up a little unconsciously, "Go back as soon as you're full. The governor is very busy."
Li Qingyi smiled and put the last bite of sweet pastry into his mouth, "Should I leave first?"
"Um."
Watching Li Qingyi leave, Qin Zeng told Nagasawa, "Keep an eye on that Lin family for me."
Nagasawa had long been accustomed to Qin Zeng's special care for Li Qingyi, and was not surprised by his behavior at all. He responded: "Yes, sir."
*****
Li Qingyi returned to the Wei Mansion and spent half a day thinking about it alone in the house, sorting out his thoughts before calling all Chang Lan over to give him some advice.
"In this mansion, Lin's place is the top priority right now. We must keep an eye on her. Even if she eats half a bowl of rice too much or misses a short nap, she will still be reported."
Seeing her caution, the girls nodded in agreement.
Li Qingyi was secretly planning this, and Mrs. Lin was not idle either.
Wei Ran was very popular with Mrs. Wei. He lost his biological mother at a young age, so Mrs. Wei took special pity on him. Mrs. Lin proposed to put him in her name, and the old lady naturally agreed. Wei Shiyuan had nothing to say. Yes, I was very moved by Lin's approach.
Then there is the funeral of Aunt Wen. Logically speaking, she is the aunt, and Wei Ran is the brother and master of the house. There is absolutely no rule to mourn for her, but Mrs. Lin was very compassionate and said she didn't mind Wei Ran calling Wen Yuniang his mother. , asking him to keep vigil as a filial piety, and also said that it would depend on Wei Ran's own wishes, whether he would be in Peilan Courtyard or the old lady's Heyan Hall.
As a result, Wei Shiyuan was a little more tender towards Lin, and the two of them restored their old relationship. It was as if without Aunt Wen, all the discord in the outer room had disappeared with the wind, and they had returned to the same disgusting look that was spurned by the third lady.
The worst thing is Song Qian's side.
She was ignored by Wei Shiyuan and moved to Hanlianxuan. Song Qian sent the message back to the Song family. No one in the Wei family stopped her, but the Song family didn't reply. Song Qian knew that she could only swallow this breath.
Who makes it impossible for her to prove her innocence!
But if Mother Sun didn't kill Aunt Wen, who did?
Song Qian wanted to find out about this matter and turn around, but she had little foundation in the house. Without Mama Sun, the young girls were not very useful.
