The two of them stood in a stalemate for a long time, and they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed under the wide-eyed stare. Just when Bai Zhiqian wanted to speak to relieve the atmosphere, Lingyu spoke first.

"Xiaoxue, you are guilty." The tone was unkind again, as indifferent as ever.

Is this giving yourself another blow?
This time, Bai Zhiqian did not defend herself, she lowered her head slightly and said, "I know I was wrong."

"Forget it, I don't care if you are the first offender, but you must remember, don't act recklessly just because of the eldest lady's favor, let alone live up to her kindness." Lingyu snapped.

"Yes, I understand." She naturally nodded obediently, but she also noticed that Lingyu was indeed loyal to the eldest lady Xie Siling, and she was always thinking about her.

At least on the surface.

"It's fine if you know it," Lingyu was very satisfied, and continued, "But I see that you get along well with them. From now on, as long as you are honest, I won't treat you badly. Now is the time for employing people."

"Yes, but I..."

Bai Zhiqian didn't plan to talk nonsense anymore, time was running out, she had to get more useful clues, she pretended to hesitate, showing a look of embarrassment.

"What's wrong?" Lingyu asked with a frown.

"I'm really curious about the monster that appeared last night." Bai Zhiqian asked, she actually wanted to know the eldest lady's attitude towards this matter through Lingyu.

Seeing Lingyu's complexion changed slightly, he hesitated and said, "Actually, there are some things I shouldn't tell you, but since you have asked, it's useless for me to hide it, you will know sooner or later."

"Many people know that the monster suddenly appeared in the City Lord's Mansion a few months ago. Since then, countless guards and maids have died at its hands."

Thinking of the lives that were treated as abandoned children, innocent sacrifices one by one.

Bai Zhiqian was angry and wanted to stimulate Lingyu, so she couldn't help mocking, "I'm afraid they were sucked dry."

Even at this time, she still clearly remembers how she looked when she met Xiao He, her whole body was skinny, if she was a moment later, there might not even be scum left.

Naturally, Lingyu didn't know what happened at that time, nor did she understand the reason for Bai Zhiqian's sudden anger, but she didn't get angry yet.

After a short silence, she patiently explained, "Actually, it's not just human beings. Any life will be sucked by her. The stronger ones may still have a breath left, and the weaker ones will die without a whole body."

"So?" Bai Zhiqian glanced at her, and continued to sneer, "Can you disregard their lives and let that monster wreak havoc in the City Lord's Mansion? Is this how the dignified lady behaves?"

"Shut up, there is no way to teach the young lady a lesson."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xie Siling was mentioned, Lingyu would become agitated. She pressed Bai Zhiqian's shoulders with both hands, gritted her teeth and said, "We have no choice, their sacrifices are necessary, not to mention, since they have sold themselves to the city lord government, everything including life belongs to us."

"But before you tricked them into entering the mansion, you didn't tell them about the dangers, otherwise, how could they sell themselves? I know they are all homeless, so how could they sell themselves if they were not forced to."

"But..." Bai Zhiqian stared straight at her, without any sign of shrinking back, "You are so wasteful of human life, how are you worthy to be the master of Ye Qiucheng? The City Lord's Mansion is supposed to protect everyone and the entire Ye Qiucheng. You didn't do it. Missy didn't even do it."

"Shut up, you don't understand anything."

Xie Siling became even angrier, a little hysterical, she scolded angrily, "Why do you lowly lives deserve our protection? To be honest, it is our kindness to reward you with a meal."

Bai Zhiqian immediately showed cold eyes, and said mockingly, "If the majestic Master Lingyu, you, as the eldest lady's right-hand man, has this attitude, then I have been thinking wrong all along. The people in the City Lord's Mansion are all the same, and there is no good thing."

"Including your eldest lady!"

"Go to hell." Bai Zhiqian's verbal offensive was effective, Lingyu was so angry that she slapped her directly in the abdomen.

Of course, Bai Zhiqian could resist easily, but she deliberately let go of her strength and took a heavy blow. Of course, she was not being abused, but had another purpose.

"puff!"

She fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a big mouthful of blood, looking very painful.

"Lord Lingyu, you can beat me, you can even kill me, but can you kill everyone in the City Lord's Mansion?"

Bai Zhiqian wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and showed a faint smile, "Even someone like me, who just entered the mansion, can know so many things and have so many thoughts, let alone them?"

"You are so worthless, I'm afraid you can't stop everyone's mouth!"

Lingyu was silent for a long time, then suddenly squatted in front of Bai Zhiqian, stared at her straight and said, "You... who are you, you are definitely not an ordinary person."

"I'm just a miserable person who longs to find my sister, just like Xiao Zi who lost her best friend, Xiao He who lost her sister, just like many people in the City Lord's Mansion who have lost their relatives and friends!"

Bai Zhiqian smiled and replied, "Besides, your eldest lady kidnapped me personally, didn't you, Master Lingyu."

"you…"

Lingyu stared at her firmly, as if she wanted to pry out something more, but after a long time, she could only sigh helplessly, showing a low expression.

"Yes, it is true that many people have lost their close relatives, even me. I have been in the City Lord's Mansion since I was a child, and there are many close friends who have disappeared, even the eldest lady. None of us have lost Woolen cloth?"

"But don't we want to take care of it? You think we are worthless, but have you ever thought that we can't take care of it?"

Lingyu supported Bai Zhiqian, and said coldly, "I...we have already done our best to protect everyone, and the young lady has done enough."

"But I didn't see your so-called protection!" Bai Zhiqian replied coldly, "I only saw the increasing number of victims, and I only saw the innocent lives sacrificed."

"you…"

Lingyu gritted her teeth, she obviously had something to hide, she said sharply, "I said, there is nothing we can do, and we have put in enough effort, you don't understand anything."

"For the final victory, any sacrifice is worth it!"

Bai Zhiqian could tell that Lingyu obviously had something else she didn't want to say, but she knew that she might not be able to easily force the other party to tell the truth.

However, she took the risk of revealing her identity this time, but she didn't get nothing. The guess in her heart became clearer. The monster was created by Xie Qianchou. In a sense, Xie Siling was just a victim.

But which victim may not be so innocent,

Bai Zhiqian couldn't help sneering, "Of course victory can be sacrificed, but why do they always sacrifice the humblest lives? They are obviously... just living is already very difficult, why should they sacrifice?"

"I don't care what kind of plans you have, it's not a reason to treat their lives as nothing, not to mention, if sacrifices are really needed, someone needs to lead the way..."

"Why can't those people be you?"
