Chapter 213 Confusing
Chapter 213 Confusing
"Didn't she mention my biological father?"
Lin Chong shook his head.
"No, I didn't ask. Since you chose to believe her, I treat you as my own child. I didn't intend to deceive her on this point!"
Lin Yue sneered, "But you didn't do it."
"Yes! Although I didn't lie to her, I still let her down! Once you embark on a career as an official, many things become uncontrollable! I took many detours and learned many lessons in the beginning. If it weren't for the Lang family, I'm afraid I would have taken even more detours."
Lin Yue knew what happened next. The Lang family had fallen into decline at that time. Seeing that Lin Chong valued friendship and loyalty, Lang's father intended to give him some guidance and bring him into the officialdom, on the condition that he marry Lang and find a way out for the Lang family.
Lin Chong was unwilling to say it, and Lin Yue did not force him, but changed the way of asking.
"What about youth? What have you done with youth?"
Lin Chong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but he didn't show it on his face, "She made a mistake back then..."
Lin Yue looked at him deeply, a little impatient, "I want to hear the truth."
In fact, she had already met Fanghua last night, and she talked to Lin Chong alone today just to give him a chance.
As expected of someone who had worked in officialdom, Lin Chong guessed after a moment that she already knew something, or that Fang Hua had been found by her!
"Did you find her?"
Lin Yue didn't say anything, just looked at her with cold eyes. Yes, Fanghua was found, but it was a pity that she was very weak and mentally ill. She had been locked up for so many years and was no longer human. It would take time to cure her.
So, the moment she saw Fanghua, she decided not to wait any longer. She had lost her patience to play with them!
Lin Chong's back suddenly bent, and at this moment he understood Lin Yue's true intention.
He originally thought that Fanghua was his breakthrough point, and even if Lin Yue remembered her, she wouldn't be able to trace it back to him. He still underestimated Lin Yue's intelligence! The Lin Yue in front of him was no longer the little girl who was easy to fool!
However, he was also very grateful that his affection for Meng had allowed him to retain a trace of kindness and not kill her completely! He was still too indecisive! Otherwise, why would he not have accomplished anything until today?
With Lin Yue's current thinking, coupled with the power of Southwest King Ye Yin, she might be able to become another way out for herself!
"If I tell you everything, can you promise not to implicate other people in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion?"
"Do you think you are qualified to negotiate with me?"
Lin Chong's eyes flashed, "At least, I still have a trace of kindness."
Lin Yue snorted lightly, "You should be grateful for your kindness. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid you wouldn't have the opportunity to sit here and negotiate with me today."
It's hard to say whether Lin Chong was deeply in love with Meng or had other attachments, which made him act a little less ruthless and left more room for maneuver. Perhaps this room for maneuver was one of the escape routes he had thought of long ago.
"I overheard your mother's last words to Fanghua. She still doesn't trust me! She was willing to entrust you to me, but she kept many secrets."
Lin Yue's heart moved. If that was the case, then it made sense. After all, Lin Chong didn't take her away immediately, but let her stay in the countryside for several years. Only when he felt he had the ability and capital did he take her to the capital. His real purpose was Fang Hua.
As for myself, it is harmless to keep myself as such. Who knows, maybe one day I will become a pawn in his hands.
"So, you know my father's identity, and those secrets are related to him, right?"
"Not entirely. I only heard that your father was from the Chichi tribe and that he left a token of his love for your mother. I didn't hear anything else!"
The Chichi tribe? What kind of tribe are they?
"So you think Fanghua knows more, so you found an excuse to lock her up in order to get more secrets?"
Lin Chong did not deny it, nor did he give a direct answer. Instead, he asked.
"Do you know what kind of tribe the Chi Chi tribe is? You may not know that they are an extremely mysterious tribe that rarely communicates with the outside world. They only exist in legends. I spent a whole year researching and only found out a little bit."
Lin Yue sensitively realized that just that little bit might be the reason why Lin Chong wanted to find out more. She knew the saying that curiosity kills the cat!
"I found out that the Imperial Master Dai Tian has some connection with the Chi Chi tribe, but I haven't had the chance to meet him, nor have I had the chance to investigate further."
Lin Yue didn't know what kind of person the Imperial Master was, but she had heard Ye Yin mention that the Imperial Master had made an indelible contribution to the success of the Great Qi Dynasty today. Without the Imperial Master, the Great Qi Dynasty would never have been able to continue to this day.
But he is not someone that ordinary people can see, not even the emperor.
When Lin Yue first heard about this person, she was quite puzzled. If there was such a person, wouldn't he care about the people's livelihood? When the Northwest Rebellion was in chaos, he didn't come out to make any contribution.
Lin Yue couldn't help but frown. Her biological father was actually from the Chichi tribe. What kind of tribe was that?
"That's all I know. If you want to know more, just see if you have the chance to meet the Imperial Master. Perhaps he can give you some clues."
"Regarding the Chichi tribe, if the emperor is willing to talk about it, perhaps you will have the opportunity to know what kind of tribe it is."
After Lin Chong finished speaking, he took out the piece of lambskin from his arms.
"I believe you've already seen this map! This is what your mother left for Fanghua. It should have been left by your father, along with this jade pendant. Now that you know everything, I don't need to keep these things anymore! I'll give them all to you!"
Lin Yue was surprised. She didn't expect that he knew that they had secretly gone to his study.
"Since you have this map, why don't you take action?"
Lin Chong smiled bitterly and said, "That's not an ordinary place. You will know it later."
"Also, these four kids are very smart. Since they know where I hid the things, there's no reason not to tell you. I took them to see it on a whim, but later I realized that maybe it was the right thing to do!"
When he saw signs of someone touching the place, he immediately thought of his four children, and also realized that these things might no longer belong to him!
"Don't think that if you do this I will forgive you for what you did to Fanghua."
Lin Chong looked at her deeply and said, "I just hope you can protect the rest of the Lin family. Your brother has always been protecting you."
After saying this, he left the house, which made Lin Yue feel that something was wrong.
After sitting there for a while in a daze, her mind was a little confused. Lin Yue tried to calm herself down and carefully thought about what Lin Chong had said.
Lin Ru heard about the promise of her future, but Lin Chong didn't mention it. I wonder if he didn't mention it on purpose or if he forgot?
Either he forgot, or Lin Ru lied!
Lin Yue felt that the possibility of Lin Ru lying was zero. After all, although she was very jealous, she was not as cunning as Lin Chong. Lin Ru and the Lang family knew very little about Lin Yue's life experience!
That’s right! Why?
Logically, Lang should know a lot! But she knows nothing! This is unusual! It's as if someone is protecting her!
Yes! It was this feeling that made Lin Yue feel that something was wrong!
Could it be that there is someone behind Lin Chong?
