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

Lin Qingyao glanced at Lin Qingrou with a kind look, turned around and said with a smile: "Grandma, since the third sister was bewitched, don't punish her too harshly, just let the third sister remember the lesson this time."

Lin Qingyao deliberately emphasized the word "tai", which meant that he still had to be punished, and the punishment had to be heavier, at least like the punishment that the eldest sister received in the previous life.

Lin Qingrou was very happy to hear the first part of her sentence, thinking that she was still as easy to deceive as before.

But when I heard the second half of the sentence, I felt something was wrong. It sounded like I was begging for mercy, but in the end I still had to be punished.

The old lady sighed, this second girl is still so kind.

"Since the second girl has said this, then the third girl will be punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall for two days, and then she will sit in her room and think about her faults. She will copy the "Girls' Commandments" twenty times. She will come out when she feels better. In addition, she will be punished for three months. Long memory!"

Lin Qingrou almost fainted when she heard this. Just kneeling in the ancestral hall for two days would kill her. She quickly gave Fang Yueru a wink.

Fang Yueru was also stunned. How could her daughter endure such a crime?

Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by the old lady: "If anyone pleads for her, the punishment just now will be doubled! This time, I want to make her remember and see if she dares to do such a thing in the future!"

When Fang Yueru saw that the old lady was angry, she immediately shut up. This time they underestimated Lin Qingyao and did not expect her to come out like this.

"Xia Ju not only did not dissuade the master, but also helped to frame the eldest sister. She knelt in the ancestral hall with the three girls, and then went to collect twenty big boards. She was also punished with three months' monthly punishment."

Xia Ju almost fainted. After two days of kneeling, she still had to endure twenty beatings. She didn't know if she was still alive.

"Lianxiang is begging for glory on her back. Our Zhongyong Hou Mansion cannot tolerate such a lowly servant. She has been beaten for thirty times. If she is still alive, she should be sold."

When she thought of what Lianxiang had done, the old lady wanted to deal with her on the spot.

"Old madam, please spare my life, I will never dare to do this again."

Reixiang knew that no one would believe her now no matter how she explained, so she could only desperately beg for mercy.

"Grandma, since Lianxiang is my maid, why not leave it to my granddaughter to handle. She still has some questions she wants to ask her."

Lin Qingyao was filled with anger when she thought of what Lianxiang did to her and Qiuyue in her previous life. It would be too easy for her to let her die happily.

When the old lady heard this, she felt that Lin Qingyao had become soft-hearted again, "You can't be soft-hearted to such a lowly maid who betrays her master. Just listen to grandma."

"Grandma, don't worry. I will be kind to her sincerely, but I will never let go of someone who betrays me. Grandma, don't worry and leave it to your granddaughter."

Lin Qingrou shuddered when she heard this. Lin Qingyao was always kind to others, how could she be so cruel?

The old lady was relieved after hearing what Lin Qingyao said. It seemed that the second girl had grown up a lot and was more mature than before.

"Okay, since the second girl said so, I'll leave it to you. Huaping, find two boys to help the second lady take Lianxiang back."

"Yes, old lady."

Yaotai Pavilion

Lianxiang was thrown to the ground by the two boys and looked at Lin Qingyao timidly.

After not seeing each other for two days, Lianxiang felt that she seemed to have changed. She used to be the easiest to fool, but today she was not soft-hearted no matter what she said.

"Lianxiang, how many years have you been following me?"

Lin Qingyao glanced at Lianxiang on the ground indifferently and spoke casually.

"Miss, it's been eight...eight years."

Lianxiang's voice trembled unconsciously when she replied.

When Lin Qingyao was seven years old, she moved into Yaotai Pavilion alone. Her mother specially selected two maids for her, Qiuyue and Lianxiang. They were similar in age to her, and she thought she treated them well.

"Have I ever treated you badly in the past eight years?"

Listening to Lin Qingyao's cold voice, Lianxiang knew that her day was in danger.

"No...no, the young lady has always treated this slave like a sister."

"Then why did you betray me? What benefits did Lin Qingrou give you to endure the humiliation and do your best for her?"

Lin Qingyao slammed the table angrily. When she thought that the tragic experience of her previous life was closely related to Lianxiang, she was so angry that she couldn't stop trembling.

Lianxiang was startled by Lin Qingyao's actions. Lin Qingyao was usually very kind to them and had never lost such a temper.

"Miss, I'm wrong. It's because I've been obsessed with ghosts. The third lady initially gave me money and said it was just to say good things to her. I thought she would have a good relationship with you, so I agreed. Who knew she would let this happen this time? The slave helped her to give false testimony to frame the eldest lady. If the slave refused, she said she would report the slave to you. The slave was also coerced by her, so please spare the slave this time."

Oh, money can really make things work. Lin Qingrou's grandfather and uncle were both in business, and they usually provided a lot of support to the mother and daughter. The money was really spent in the right place.

It seems that Lianxiang was bribed by Lin Qingrou not long ago, and he is not so devoted to her yet. Taking this opportunity to get rid of the spy around him can save him a lot of trouble in the future.

But when she thought of the harm she had done to Qiu Yue in her previous life, she still felt furious in her heart.

Lin Qingyao glanced at Qiu Yue standing next to her with distress, and decided to give Qiu Yue a chance to take revenge.

"Spare you? After I spare you, can you continue to hurt me? Qiuyue, slap her mouth. You must not stop until I tell you to stop."

Qiuyue is a soft-hearted girl, and she glanced at her young lady after hearing this.

Although it is disgusting for Lianxiang to betray the young lady, after all, he has served the young lady with her for so many years, so how could she do it.

"Miss..."

Lin Qingyao looked at Qiu Yue's troubled look and knew that she must have softened her heart, and she had to give her a push.

"Qiuyue, don't be soft-hearted when dealing with traitors, go quickly."

Qiuyue knew there was no room for change and slowly stepped forward.

The two boys held down Lianxiang's hands and feet to prevent her from struggling.

"Qiuyue, no, we have served the lady together for so many years, don't do this to me."

Reixiang knows that Qiuyue is a person who easily softens her heart, and begging her for mercy now is the last chance.

Qiuyue hesitated for a moment and remembered what the young lady had just said. Lianxiang betrayed the young lady who was so good to them and should indeed be beaten.

"Lianxiang, you can't blame me. The lady is so kind to you, how can you betray her."

The words fell before a slap fell on Lianxiang's face. Qiuyue was unambiguous in protecting her young lady.

The young lady is the best person in the world to her, and no one can bully the young lady.

When Lin Qingyao saw Qiu Yue finally taking the first step, the corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously.

This time, she wants to teach Qiuyue not to be soft-hearted towards the enemy and to protect herself.

"Very well, continue."

Qiuyue took a deep breath and slapped Lianxiang several times in succession.

Although Qiuyue couldn't directly kill her for revenge, it was still a breath of relief.

After a few more slaps, Lin Qingyao finally shouted stop.

"Okay, let's stop here. Your hands will hurt if you continue."

Both sides of Lianxiang's cheeks were swollen, and Lin Qingyao felt a breath of bad breath.

Qiuyue felt relieved and retreated to Lin Qingyao.

"Okay, I've finished asking what needs to be asked, and I've finished punishing what needs to be punished. Now let's deal with it as grandma said."

Lianxiang had not yet recovered from the pain on her face and almost fainted when she heard Lin Qingyao's words.

She thought that the young lady brought her back from the old lady to save her, and she would let her go after saying this. After all, the young lady was usually very kind to her servants and was never willing to punish them severely.

I didn't expect that after slapping her these times, I would be punished according to the old lady's instructions. Then I would have suffered double punishment. After thirty spanks, I would be crippled even if I still had the breath.

"Miss, no, I really don't dare to do it anymore. You are trying to kill me."

Lianxiang ignored the pain on her face and rushed to Lin Qingyao's feet, hugging her legs and begging for mercy.

Lin Qingyao sneered and kicked Lianxiang back to the ground.

"Do you think I will still want you, a traitor?"

Lin Qingyao glanced at the two boys and said, "You two, drag her away quickly. According to grandma's instructions, hit thirty boards first."

"Yes, second lady."

The two young men stepped forward in tacit understanding and dragged Lianxiang out, who was crying like a ghost.

"Qiuyue, go tell Sun Guards and tell him to watch them fight and show no mercy."

Sun Huwei is the guard of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. He is superb in martial arts and protects the safety of the Hou Mansion.

"Yes, miss, I'll go right away."

Qiuyue didn't hesitate this time and followed the two boys out of Yaotai Pavilion.
