Lin Zhihuai frowned slightly, his eyes were very complicated, as if he was thinking about something that he couldn't choose.

Holly's spirit had collapsed, and she kept muttering that she had thought about it a thousand times and ten thousand times in her mind, but she endured the secret that she didn't say, her voice was very low, but in the quiet hall, it was very clear, and she said word by word: "Aunt Qin has a blood-red jade pendant, which is very important to her, I hid that jade pendant, so I was not killed by Aunt Qin like Wu'er." I don't know what that jade pendant represents, but I heard Aunt Qin say that that that jade pendant can prove that she is a golden branch and jade leaf. ”

Hearing the end, everyone was stunned, only Zhao Zhengxiang, Zhao Fengwen and Lin Zhihuai did not change their faces, obviously the three of them knew about this matter in the first place.

Zhao Zhengxiang didn't give Holly a chance to breathe, and asked lightly, "Holly, where did you hide that jade pendant?"

Holly only hesitated for a moment, and then continued to reply: "I hid that jade pendant in the Garden of Affection, because after Madame lived in the Garden of Autumn, the Garden of Affection had been deserted, and no one would enter it. There is a row of camphor trees behind the main hall of the Affection Garden, and I buried the jade pendant under the fourth camphor tree, which is buried very deeply, and it should not be discovered. ”

Zhao Zhengxiang took out a blood-red oval jade pendant from his arms, spread it in his palm, and clearly displayed it in front of Lin Zhihuai and Holly, and asked in a calm tone: "Holly, you raise your head and take a look, is it this jade pendant?"

Like a puppet, Holly raised her head according to Yan, looked at the jade pendant, nodded mechanically, and then said nervously: "Exactly, this is the jade pendant I hidden." I must not let Aunt Qin find it, or she will kill me." Those three beasts who killed a thousand knives tortured me every day, just to make me tell the whereabouts of this jade pendant, but I didn't say anything about it, they couldn't do anything about me, and they didn't dare to kill me, hahahaha......"

Lin Wan looked at Holly's appearance and knew that she had gone crazy, if it wasn't for Zhao Zhengxiang patiently guiding her to finish what she had to say just now, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold on until now.

Holly's nervous laughter echoed through the hall, making everyone's hearts feel uncomfortable. Zhao Zhengxiang glanced at Zhao Qingpeng, Zhao Qingpeng immediately got up, walked behind Holly, slapped the knife, Holly's voice stopped abruptly, his eyes rolled, and he fell to the ground softly.

Zhao Qingpeng gestured to the guards outside, and two guards walked in and put Holly out.

Zhao Zhengxiang's sharp eyes have been staring at Lin Zhihuai's face, seeing his face change back and forth, he knows that he must be very entangled in his heart, after giving him enough time to think, Zhao Zhengxiang finally spoke slowly, and said: "Lin Zhihuai, do you want to say it yourself, or let the old man help you say it?"

Lin Zhihuai smiled helplessly, shook his head, glanced at everyone in the hall, and said: "Father-in-law, it's not that the son-in-law deliberately conceals it, but that this matter is very important, and the fewer people who know, the better." Therefore, the son-in-law did not dare to let anyone know, and even the mother-in-law did not know about this matter at all. ”

Zhao Zhengxiang looked around at the people in the hall, motioned to Zhao Qingpeng to close the door of the hall, and finally his eyes fell on Lin Zhihuai's body again, and said coldly: "There are no outsiders here, and it is impossible for anyone to eavesdrop outside, can you say it?"

Lin Zhihuai took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and said, "Father-in-law, Holly is right, this jade pendant is indeed Aunt Qin's. It was only after I saw this jade pendant that I had doubts about Aunt Qin's background. The back of this jade pendant is engraved with the word "Shan", which is a word in the name of the Queen Mother. If it's just this one word, it can't mean anything, but this blood-colored jade pendant is the symbol of the daughter of the Lu family, so the son-in-law guessed that Aunt Qin might have something to do with the Queen Mother. ”

Zhao Zhengxiang nodded slightly, agreeing with Lin Zhihuai's words. There are many big families who use a symbolic thing as a token in order to show the nobility of their family lineage.

Most families will use some distinctive jade pendants or brands with special textures, but the Lu family, as a big family that has been inherited for hundreds of years and produced several generations of queens, is no secret that their blood-colored jade pendants are no longer a secret.

Lin Zhihuai glanced at Zhao Liniang, her eyes were full of apologies, and then continued: "After the son-in-law discovered Aunt Qin's jade pendant, she began to deliberately approach Aunt Qin, and it took more than half a year for her to relax her vigilance and tell me the truth. ”

Zhao Liniang frowned slightly, she didn't expect that Lin Zhihuai's snub to herself and her love for Aunt Qin would have such a reason to make people laugh and cry.

Zhao Zhengxiang was unmoved, and said coldly: "You don't have to find any excuse to excuse yourself, right or wrong, even if we don't judge you, you know it in your own heart." Whether to forgive you or not, it is all up to Liniang to choose, we as parents will not interfere. ”

Zhao Liniang's heart trembled, and she raised her eyes to look at her father, with mixed feelings in her heart. Back then, his father initially took a fancy to Lin Zhihuai's talent, but after he got to know him to a certain extent, he was not too reassured about him. Therefore, Zhao Zhengxiang and Wang Xinlian did not agree with her marrying Lin Zhihuai, but she already had a deep affection for Lin Zhihuai.

Now, after being snubbed by Lin Zhihuai for many years, and even ruthlessly hurting, she still decided to give Lin Zhihuai another chance. Although she knew that Zhao Zhengxiang and Wang Xinlian did not approve, she still insisted on going her own way and returned to Lin Xiangfu. Now that Zhao Zhengxiang said such words, it was the greatest support and love for her, but it made her heart can't help but feel sour.

Lin Zhihuai could feel Zhao Liniang's mood and felt her somewhat shaken heart, so he turned to look at Zhao Liniang, his eyes were sad, and he said emotionally: "Liniang, I'm sorry for you, but I really didn't want to hurt you, I wanted to protect you." Aunt Qin is not a simple person, and her background is even more not simple. If she wants to deal with you, I'm afraid I won't be able to guard against it. That's why I alienated you and let people protect you secretly. ”

Zhao Liniang looked at Lin Zhihuai suspiciously, and asked in disbelief: "You snubbed me, alienated me, and spoiled your concubine and killed your wife, but you actually wanted to protect me?"

Lin Zhihuai's eyes were full of remorse, nodded solemnly, and continued to explain: "I asked Manager Wu to arrange his distant niece Erya'er on an errand in Qiuyi Garden, and pay attention to the situation in Qiuyi Garden. It was also Erya'er who found out that Wu'er was making trouble in secret, and several times after Wu'er left after poisoning, she quietly washed away the poison with water, and collected it and handed it over to Mr. Wu. ”
