Chapter 462 She’s Just a Pastry Seller (5)_1
Conspiracy to seize family assets is not uncommon in prominent households. Old Lady Jin felt a shock go through her body, a sharp glint shot from her eyes. She had been in control of the Jin family for decades, and it was quite possible that someone had grown impatient and wanted to kill her to take over the family affairs!
Jin Yuyu was infuriated by Jin Lingling’s insinuating remarks, but on the side, Lady Hong pulled her daughter back and shook her head. After the initial panic, she had completely calmed down and carefully pondered the sequence and cause of these events, and she had a clear idea of who actually needed to be investigated.
She believed that her own daughter would never do such a sly and underhanded deed. As for the branch from the second household, who were not blood-related and had been eyeing the status and residence of the main household, it was indeed possible that they could commit such an act!
"Mother, I too think that Lingling speaks some truth," spoke Lady Hong with the dignity of someone from a great family, and Lin Yuan admired Jin Yuyu’s mother greatly, "Although I believe that such disgraceful acts of seizing family assets would surely not happen in our Jin family, now that mother’s safety has been threatened, we must conduct an investigation."
Old Lady Jin was quite pleased with Lady Hong and nodded her head.
The Second Oldest Jin and his spouse sneered coldly yet expressed their agreement.
Lin Yuan looked at the old lady and smiled, "Old Lady Jin, strictly speaking, this is your family’s internal affair, and I shouldn’t interfere. But I have no choice, my brother is clumsy with words, and now he has been dragged into this; I, as his sworn sister, naturally have to step in."
Seeing the old lady nod in agreement, Lin Yuan continued, "Actually, to prove Sister Jin’s innocence, we definitely need to investigate this matter. However, if it is as Second Miss Jin says, that the goal behind harming the Old Lady is to seize control of the assets, I must say, I find it hard to agree. As far as I know, the Family Head of the Jin family is the Old Master, and if one were to seize the assets, it would make sense to target the Old Master, not the Old Lady."
