"A scheme to sow discord?"
Lin Ziqi roughly wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, glaring in grief and rage at the good companion who had still been calling him brother only days ago.
"Am I really that easy to fool in your eyes?
Ha!
Heaven is unjust. I, Lin Ziqi, with talent filling a carriage and learning enough for five, was meant to stand in the court and share the Emperor's burdens, yet I've fallen to this state—this is all because of you and the Qin Family!"
A scholar who has lost his reputation has no future to speak of.
The Gu Family and Qin Family's retaliation was likely still to come.
King Jin and the others, not having gotten the result they wanted, probably wouldn't let matters rest either.
Lin Ziqi now hated everyone indiscriminately.
Gu Baoshu couldn't help spitting, "If you hadn't had evil intentions, who could have harmed you? Didn't you bring all of this on yourself?"
Lin Ziqi ignored her and stared straight at Qin Siyuan.
