182 Questioning Granny Lin
Digging up rotten meat was a very big task, and it took a lot of effort. Moreover, Li Baode’s body was almost full of wounds, so this required even more effort. Therefore, Wei Wusheng planned to go back and sleep first before doing this.
After Ming Zhiyan had arranged for people to prepare the medicinal herbs, he returned to Lin Zhiqing’s room. He knocked on the door and signaled Granny Lin to come out.
Lin Zhiqing went to bed after breakfast. Granny Lin sat by the bed and looked at him.
When she saw Ming Zhiyan return, Granny Lin’s eyes flashed with surprise. She hesitated for a moment but still followed him out.
Ming Zhiyan brought her to the central room and poured her a cup of tea. “Sit.”
Granny Lin clenched her hands nervously and asked nervously, “Master Ming, what’s the matter?”
Ming Zhiyan said calmly, “Granny Lin, do you know how and by whom Young Master Lin was injured?”
Upon hearing this question, Granny Lin immediately became excited. She stood up and asked hurriedly, “Who was it?”
Ming Zhiyan looked straight into her eyes and said firmly, “Yesterday afternoon, I found out that Miss Jian took her brother to the Prefectural Academy to study. When I sensed that there was a trap, I rushed over with my men.
“In Cairo City, only those with high positions in the city could bribe a teacher to make a fake invitation letter. Unfortunately… When the daughter of the governor and Deputy Prefect of Cairo came to Shifeng County, she had a conflict with Miss Jian. In addition, I had a conflict with the governor, Song Yuancheng. So, I took my men to surround his mansion to rescue Miss Jian.”
As Ming Zhiyan had been looking at Granny Lin, he immediately noticed the hatred on her face when she heard Song Yuancheng’s name.
He paused for a moment before continuing, “When I found Lady Jian in the dungeon, Young Master Lin was already injured and lying on the ground. He was still dressed in black.”
“Granny Lin, do you know why Young Master Lin went to the Governor’s Mansion?”
After hearing this, Granny Lin’s expression twisted for a moment. She gripped the corner of the table tightly with one hand and asked angrily, “So my son was injured by Song Yuancheng?”
Although her words were a question, her tone was firm.
Ming Zhiyan asked back, “What do you think? I think you should know.”
Granny Lin sat back on the stool in a daze. The muscles on her face twitched violently, as if she was enduring extreme anger.
After a long while, she suppressed the myriad of thoughts in her heart and asked calmly, “Lord Ming, why are you telling me all this?”
Ming Zhiyan went straight to the point and said, “That letter about Li Baode was sent by you, right?”
That day, his men found a letter on the back door of the county office. The content of the letter was about Li Baode being trapped in the dungeon by Song Yuancheng, and the evidence of Song Yuancheng’s crime in his hands. Because the back door of the county office was unguarded, he could not find the person who delivered the letter. With a skeptical attitude, he went to investigate and found that Li Baode was indeed there. He was also locked in the dungeon by Song Yuancheng, so he saved Li Baode.
At that time, he did not know who the person who delivered the letter was. However, he later checked on Granny Lin and accidentally found out the relationship between her and Li Baode. It was not difficult to guess who sent the letter.
Granny Lin’s eyes flickered and she said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Ming Zhiyan could see her guilty conscience. He said, “Li Baode is in the manor now. Ever since he was rescued, he has been seriously injured and unconscious. He has never woken up. Don’t you want to go and see him?”
Granny Lin was in a dilemma as she scratched the corner of the table. After a long while, she seemed to have lost her breath. She leaned weakly on the chair and asked in a low voice, “What do you want to know?”
