The two families chatted for half a day. Madame Wang took Lin Yubin down to play, and Wang Jin took Lin Qingyuan to the study.

  Lin Yuhbin pulled out a book from the bookshelf, flipped through it, and found it was a travelogue. Feeling that something was not right, he turned to the first page and saw that the author's signature at the bottom was Wang Jin.

  She shook her head and smiled, asking: "Since it's written, why not publish it?"

  "It's expensive to print books, but few people will buy them, why bother?" Wang Jin glanced at the book in her hand and said casually, "If you like it, take one away, I have a few more here."

  Seeing Lin Qingyan's puzzled look, he lightly coughed and said, "Copied by a few kids."

  When children make mistakes, just ask them to copy books.

  It can practice writing and also serves as a punishment for them. Most importantly, the well-copied books can be given to others.

  Wang Jin has already given out many books, all of which were copied by his children.

  Lin Qingwan put down her book and smiled: "Alright then, bring me one of each."

  Wang Jin smiled and said, "You're quite greedy."

  He sidled over and asked Lin Qingwan to sit down, but instead of sitting in the superior seat, he sat across from her.

  She liked this equal attitude very much, "This time I came to find you, brother, there are two more things to ask of you."

  Wang Jin raised an eyebrow and looked inquiringly at Lin Qingyuan.

  Lin Qingwan first mentioned Lin You's situation, saying: "He went missing in the area of Ezhou and there has been no news until now. I think they either want to find a way into the capital or are heading towards Lingzhou. Neither of these routes can be handled by the Lin family alone, so we need to ask Brother to help look for him."

  Wang Jin's heart skipped a beat as he asked, "Was it you who reported the matter of Hongzhou to the palace?"

  Lin Qingwan didn't say a word. Wang Jin looked at her and furrowed his brow, saying: "I don't know who the person behind the scenes is, but you should be more careful in the future."

  "Can you help me, brother?" Lin Qingyan asked.

  "It's not hard to find someone," Wang Jin said: "I'll write a letter to my brothers and send someone to look for him, and we'll probably get some news."

  Lin Qingwan stood up and bowed, "Thank you, brother."

  "You don't have to be polite with me," Wang Jin said: "I am as close to your brother as if we were sworn brothers, and in my heart, you are like a sister to me."

  Wang Jin fell silent for a moment before asking, "Mei Jie, did your brother leave you anything before he left?"

  "What's that?"

  "For example, a brocade pouch or something," Wang Jin hesitated, "or perhaps a manual?"

  Lin's family matters, Hao Yu worries more, and it's normal for him to say more.

  Lin Qingwan's forehead twitched slightly, what was Wang Jin thinking? The brocade pouch in his hand was also her idea for Lin Jiang.

  Lin Qingwan's expression was obscure, but Wang Jin still discovered it. He almost jumped up and said, "Do you know that your brother gave me a brocade pouch?"

  Although it is an interrogative sentence, there are already three points of affirmation in the tone.

  Lin Qingwan could see through it but could only nod.

  Wang Jin's mind went blank for a moment, and he was so excited that his hands were trembling. He thought he would never have the chance to ask this question in his lifetime, but unexpectedly, the opportunity came so easily to him.

  He focused his mind and stared at Lin Qingyan with piercing eyes, "How did your brother know what would happen a year later? And you, what do you know?"

  "I don't know anything," Lin Qingyan said helplessly: "I know he gave you and Ling Ge a brocade pouch, but he didn't give me one."

  "This can't be," Wang Jin furrowed his brow, "He could remind me and Ling Yun, why wouldn't he have arranged for you two cousins?"

  If Lin Haoyu knew about the future, shouldn't he have arranged for Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin first?

  Lin Qing looked at him quietly, she was alive, the Lin family, Lin Yuhuan's fate trajectory had been different from the beginning, Lin Jiang knew that many things about their "future" would not happen again, and naturally there was no way to confirm future events.

  Ke Wang Jin is different from Ling Yun, because she is a variable. In order to let them pass through the biggest tribulation of their lives smoothly, she has minimized her contact with him as much as possible until they have passed that hurdle before starting close interactions.

  Of course, Lin Qingyan wouldn't tell him these things. Was she supposed to say that her brother wasn't really her brother, but a god from heaven, and this world was just one of the many worlds out there, while she herself was a ghost from another world who had been brought over to borrow a body to return to life?

  So she quietly looked back at him and persisted: "Brother indeed didn't give me a dowry, just let me bring good jade to the shore, wait for her to grow up, get married and have children."

  King Jin furrowed his brow, "Could it be that you all have good fortune, and he calculated that you will all pass through this life safely, with wealth and glory, so he didn't arrange anything for you?"

  Lin Jiang didn't also give them a brocade pouch, he was in a life and death crisis, Ling Yun's crisis although not involving life and death, involved his future, it was almost the same.

  So because they have great calamity, is this specially left for them?

  Lin Qingwan rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. She was most afraid that people familiar with Lin Qingwan would bring up this matter again, and she had a sense of unease as if she might fall off her horse at any moment.

  "She changed the subject and said: 'Sir, apart from finding Lin You, I have another matter to entrust you with. This matter, I don't want anyone else to know except for you.'"

  Wang Jin's mind was still on Lin Jiang's mysteriousness, but he asked smoothly: "What's the matter?"

  "How about you help me look up Cui Liang of the Cui family?"

  "Chui Liang?" Wang Jin tilted his head and thought for a moment before asking: "Is that the genius of the Cui family? What did you investigate him for?"

  Lin Qingyan dipped in a cold smile and said: "I want to kill him."

  Wang Jin almost fell off his chair, he looked outside and Lin Qingyuan said: "Don't look anymore, outside are only the servants of our two families, my people can be trusted."

  Wang Jin almost choked on his breath, "Even if everyone believes it, walls have ears too. How can you say such things?"

  "Hesitated for a moment and then said: 'No, you shouldn't have such thoughts, killing people is against the law.'"

  "So I want a legitimate kill," Lin Qingyan looked at him with disdain and said: "Do you really think I'll go out and openly kill someone?"

  Even if she is a princess, the Cui family is not one to be trifled with, and the Emperor is certainly not someone who would cover for her - what is wrong with her brain?

  Wang Jin's tone slightly softened as he tilted his head and asked, "You mean you want to find a legitimate reason to kill him?"

  Lin Qing nodded her head.

  "This is probably impossible," Wang Jin furrowed his brow and said: "Although I've only seen him once, I've heard a lot of rumors about him. This person is one of the more outstanding ones among the next generation of the Cui family, and being born into the main branch, he has always been a proud son of heaven."

  "Someone like that, let alone making mistakes easily, even if he did, the Cui family would cover it up for him. You think you can catch his handle? It's probably a thousand times difficult."

  "In short, brother, help me investigate him, even if we can't catch his handle, let me know myself and know each other."

  Wang Jin asked helplessly, "What did he do to offend you?"

  Lin Qingyan sneered, "He's been asking for it three years ago, but I didn't have the time or opportunity to settle accounts with him. Now is a good chance to use him as a stepping stone."

  Wang Jin's heart skipped a beat - wasn't it three years ago that something unexpected happened between the Lin and Xie families?

  "Thank you, Erlang..."

  Lin Qingwan's eyes gleamed with a cold light as she looked at Wang Jin, whose mouth was bitter and unable to utter the words of refusal.
