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

If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. It seems that Lin Qingrou told too many lies and was finally discovered by Xiao Jingyi.

Xiao Jingyi hates being deceived the most. Lin Qingrou has touched Xiao Jingyi's bottom line. No wonder he looked so angry just now.

Tang Yingqian couldn't help but laugh in her heart, Lin Qingrou, do you think your current situation is bad enough? No, it's far from enough.

Since Xiao Jingyi asked this, Tang Yingqian would naturally seize this rare opportunity to add a few more charges to Lin Qingrou.

Tang Yingqian acted aggrieved and began to complain to Xiao Jingyi with exaggeration.

"I didn't want to upset the prince because of such a small matter, but since the prince asked today, I have to tell you. I know that Sister Lin has never done such work, and I didn't assign her any heavy work. I just asked her to sweep the backyard. Let's not talk about how she swept it, first of all, her attitude is not right. Even if I asked Hongxiu and Hongxiang to watch her, Sister Lin didn't work seriously at all. I just said a few words to her, and she insulted me and cursed me to die a bad death. Many maids were there at the time. If the prince doesn't believe it, you can ask them to question her."

Tang Yingqian became more and more sad as she spoke, and she forced out a few tears, which made Xiao Jingyi feel distressed.

Tang Yingqian deliberately didn't mention Lin Qingyao's matter. Even now, she was still unsure of Xiao Jingyi's attitude towards Lin Qingyao. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better not to mention her.

Xiao Jingyi first comforted Tang Yingqian, "Why do you say that, Princess? How could I not believe what you said? Don't be sad, it's not worth it for someone like Lin Qingrou."

Tang Yingqian nodded when she heard this, but was still immersed in sadness.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi became even more furious and said angrily, "This is outrageous. How dare she, a lowly maid, speak ill of the princess? Who gave her the courage?"

"Your Majesty, calm down first. I originally wanted to be more tolerant of my sister, but this time she really went too far, so I punished her. Your Majesty, you also know that my sister is weak, so she has not recovered yet and has been recuperating."

Xiao Jingyi snorted coldly when he heard this, "Oh, she is a lowly slave girl, and she wants to slack off after being punished? And she even wants to rest, is she worthy of that? Princess, don't be sad, I will definitely vent my anger for you today."

Seeing Xiao Jingyi getting up and about to leave, Tang Yingqian hurriedly asked, "My Lord, why don't I go with you?"

Tang Yingqian's request was rejected by Xiao Jingyi. He wanted to find Lin Qingrou to question her about the previous incident today. This was not something Tang Yingqian could accept, so he naturally couldn't let her go.

"No need, I will take care of this matter for you, so go to bed early."

Tang Yingqian understood when Xiao Jingyi said this. He wanted to talk to Lin Qingrou alone, and she couldn't listen.

Although Tang Yingqian really wanted to add fuel to the fire herself and see Lin Qingrou's miserable condition with her own eyes.

But since Xiao Jingyi was already angry enough towards Lin Qingrou, there was no need for her to get involved and she could just wait for the outcome.

So Tang Yingqian responded obediently: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Xiao Jingyi brought Wu Yang straight to Lin Qingrou's door. Tang Yingqian had specially prepared a separate room for Lin Qingrou, not to make her live comfortably, but to make it easier to monitor her.

At this moment, Hongxiu Hongxiang was guarding the door. When she saw Xiao Jingyi, she hurriedly saluted.

"My slave, please pay your respects to the prince."

"No need to be polite. Is Lin Qingrou in there?"

Although Hong Xiu didn't know why the prince suddenly came over and asked about Lin Qingrou's condition, she still answered truthfully: "Your Majesty, Lin Qingrou's injury has not healed yet. She has been recuperating these days and has never left her room."

"I have something to ask her. You two can go down first."

The two maids felt a little embarrassed when they heard this. The princess asked them to stay and guard Lin Qingrou, but now the prince asked them to go down.

Both of them were masters of the palace, and they didn't know who to listen to for a moment.

Although the prince's orders should be followed in the palace, this is the backyard after all, and it stands to reason that the princess, the mistress, should be obeyed.

"My Lord, but the princess..."

Before Hongxiang could finish her words, Xiao Jingyi interrupted her impatiently.

"Why, my words are useless in this palace now, right?"

The two were shocked when they heard this and quickly knelt on the ground.

"I dare not, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Xiao Jingyi was not actually angry. As maids in the backyard, it was right for them to obey the princess's orders.

"Why are you so nervous? I didn't say you did anything wrong. Get up."

The two men felt as if they had been pardoned when they heard this, and hurriedly stood up to express their gratitude.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

"I just want to see how you treat the princess. The princess has the final say in the backyard. You did a good job just now. I have already informed the princess, so you don't have to worry. Go down first."

The two maids breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It seemed that the princess still had a very high status in the prince's heart, and it was the right choice for them to work hard for the princess.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please leave."

After the two left, Xiao Jingyi ordered: "Wuyang, take a few people to guard the door. No one is allowed to approach without my order."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After arranging everything, Xiao Jingyi walked in angrily.

When Lin Qingrou heard the noise at the door, she thought it was Hongxiu and Hongxiang, and didn't even raise her eyelids.

Seeing that Lin Qingrou had no reaction at all, Xiao Jingyi became even angrier.

"Lin Qingrou, I haven't seen you for a long time and you have become more courageous. You dare not show respect to me when you see me."

Hearing this familiar voice, Lin Qingrou was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the door.

The moment Lin Qingrou saw Xiao Jingyi, she couldn't believe her eyes. These days, she had been locked up here by Tang Yingqian in the name of recuperation. Hongxiu and Hongxiang were guarding here every day, and she had never seen anyone else.

Although she has completely seen through Xiao Jingyi's true face, if she wants to continue to live well in Prince Kang's Mansion, she still has to rely on Xiao Jingyi in the final analysis.

If she could regain his favor, she would be able to escape from her suffering.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingrou no longer cared about what Xiao Jingyi had done to her. She had only one thought in her mind, which was to try her best to please him and make Xiao Jingyi feel sorry for her again.

She must hold on to this only life-saving straw.

Lin Qingrou quickly stood up, dragging her two unsteady legs, staggering and crawling to Xiao Jingyi, and hugged his legs.

"My Lord, you finally came to see Rou'er. I knew you wouldn't ignore me. My Lord, Rou'er has suffered too much injustice these days. You must take charge of this for me!"
