After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

When we returned to Yaotai Pavilion, the sky was already a little dark.

Lin Qingyao rested for a while and then called Ruyan.

Lin Qingyao thought of sending Ruyan to inquire around the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance first to see if he could find out any useful information.

"Miss, what are your orders?"

Ruyan has learned very well these days and behaves respectfully.

"Ruyan, it's time to use your expertise."

Lin Qingyao looked at Ruyan with a smile and gave her the task.

"Do you remember everything?"

"If you say anything back to the lady, I will remember it."

This was the first time that the lady had given her a separate task, and Ruyan was a little excited.

"Okay, you can go early tomorrow morning and wait for your good news."

Lin Qingyao nodded happily.

"Yes, miss, I will leave you."

As soon as Ruyan left, Qiuhan walked in.

"Miss, I have something to report."

Qiu Han remained calm as always, quietly waiting for Lin Qingyao's response.

"It's Qiuhan, tell me."

Seeing Qiu Han's look, Lin Qingyao guessed that there was something going on when she asked Qiu Han to keep an eye on the maids in the yard last time.

"Yes, you asked your slaves to keep an eye on the girls in the courtyard. In the past few days, there is a maid named Xiao He who keeps running out. It seems that she is going to the Roushu Pavilion of the third lady."

"Oh? Counting the days, Lin Qingrou is almost done thinking about it. It seems that some people can't stand it any longer."

Lin Qingrou had been locked in the room a few days ago and could not do anything.

He must have seen her coming out soon and went to report the situation to her. He was really attentive.

"That's right. I also discovered that Xiao He was only a third-class maid in our yard before. She couldn't even get close to your door. It was Lianxiang who promoted her to a second-class maid."

When Lin Qingyao mentioned Lianxiang, the anger in her heart could not be calmed down. She wondered if she was doing "well" recently.

"I knew Lin Qingrou wouldn't just bribe Lianxiang. Sure enough, she also had accomplices."

"Miss, I just saw her sneaking out again. She must have gone to report to you about today's itinerary."

Qiu Han just saw that she had taken action again, so he hurriedly came to report to the lady.

"You lead two people to block her way out of Roushui Pavilion and catch her, but don't alert the people in the third room."

"Yes, the servant understands."

After receiving the order, Qiu Han turned around and left Yaotai Pavilion.

Qiu Han has a stable personality, and Lin Qingyao is very relieved to leave this matter to her.

After a while, Qiu Han came back with the people.

Xiao He had his hands tied behind his back and his mouth was gagged with a rag. He was carried back by two boys and thrown to the ground.

Lin Qingyao waved her hand and signaled the boy to step back.

"Your name is Xiao He?"

The maid on the ground nodded.

"It's so late. If you're not working in my yard, what are you doing out there?"

The maid on the ground made a whining sound.

Qiu Han received Lin Qingyao's eyes and stepped forward to take out the rag from Xiao He's mouth.

"Reply to the lady, slave... slave is just going out for a walk."

Lin Qingyao laughed when she heard this, "Walking around? You've gone quite far, from the second bedroom to the third bedroom?"

"Qiu Han saw you come out of Roushui Pavilion with his own eyes, and you are still making excuses. Do you think I am easy to deceive?"

Lin Qingyao slapped the table angrily, full of momentum.

Xiao He was shocked. She didn't have many opportunities to come into contact with Lin Qingyao, but she always smiled when she saw her. She had never seen her look so angry.

Moreover, the third lady said that she was very easy to deceive, so she wanted to fool her just now, but now it seems that she may not be able to do it.

"Miss, please forgive me. I didn't intentionally neglect my duties. It was Third Miss who sent someone to call me over. She wanted to bribe me before, but I refused to obey, so she kept looking for me. I didn't betray you. Please understand." check."

At this point, she could only blame the third lady for everything and clean herself up first.

"Oh? Really? I didn't expect that this little maid like you is so important in the eyes of the third sister, that she would come to see you again and again?"

Lin Qingyao laughed angrily, "Xiaohe, I'll give you one more chance. If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being rude. You know Lianxiang's fate."

Hearing the words "Lianxiang's fate", Xiaohe trembled with fright. Everyone in the yard saw how Lianxiang was tortured. It was really worse than death.

She was also afraid at first that she would end up in the same fate if she was discovered, so she didn't dare to leave the yard for the past few days.

But now that the third lady was about to come out, her mind became active again, and she gradually forgot Lianxiang's lesson. After all, the third lady was generous and she was living a comfortable life now.

As soon as Lin Qingyao mentioned Lianxiang, a feeling of fear spread all over her body. If she ended up with the same fate as Lianxiang, no matter how much money she had, she would not be able to spend it.

Xiao He was trembling all over, "Miss, please forgive me. I did take money from the third lady. I will monitor your every move and report to her. That's all."

"That's it? You're spying on me for her! How dare you say you haven't betrayed me! I think you are reluctant to let Lianxiang suffer alone and want to stay with her."

Seeing that he was about to suffer disaster, Xiao He rolled his eyes and thought rapidly about ways to survive.

The little girl had a quick mind and immediately thought of a way out.

"Miss, I really didn't mean this. Why don't you give me a chance to atone for my sins? I have gained the trust of Miss Third and am familiar with the maids in her yard. I can in turn spy on her for you." thing."

Xiao He is a person who knows the current affairs, and she quickly judged the situation. After all, she still has the contract of prostitution in the lady's hands, but she must not offend her.

Then he thought of something, "Miss, I just learned that the third lady can go out tomorrow. Tomorrow you will know whether what I said is true or false."

After hearing her words, Lin Qingyao sneered.

Sometimes people have unlimited potential in order to survive, and their minds work very fast.

Lin Qingyao did not doubt the authenticity of the news, and the days were almost gone.

What's more, there is no need for her to lie at this juncture when it can be verified tomorrow.

"You are a shrewd person. In this case, I will give you this opportunity."

It's not that Lin Qingyao trusts her, it's just that she is a little passive at the moment. If she can place her informant in Lin Qingrou, it will be much easier.

The Xiao He in front of me is really the perfect choice.

Anyway, I am holding this maid's contract, so I am not afraid of her being disobedient.

Lin Qingyao asked Lianxiang to be executed in the yard just to scare others, and it came in handy now.

Xiaohe was amnesty and said, "Thank you very much, Miss. I will definitely work hard to serve you."

Lin Qingyao waved her hands disdainfully, "Stop talking about these useless things. Remember, this is your last chance. If things are done well, your benefits will naturally be indispensable. But..."

Lin Qingyao stepped forward and pinched her chin, forcing her to look directly into his eyes.
