In the previous life, she was fed to dogs by her elder sister, and she was reborn to seek revenge

A bright moon shuttled between the gray and white clouds, sometimes half of the moon was visible, and sometimes it was hidden behind the low-hanging thick clouds.

The night wind blew gently, and Lin Qing couldn't help but shiver.

Ye Tingxuan beside him quickly noticed this, so he took the initiative to step forward and wrapped Lin Qing tighter with his cloak.

"Bao'er, the New Year is coming soon. How about we set off together after the New Year?"

After hearing this, Lin Qing did not respond to Ye Tingxuan's next words, but instead said.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about the New Year's Day."

After hearing this, Ye Tingxuan nodded vigorously.

"Yes, let's stay up together on New Year's Eve this year, shall we?"

After listening to this, Lin Qing also became interested and asked with a smile.

"How many days are left until the New Year? Are you going to attend the banquet at the palace on New Year's Eve this year?"

After hearing this, Ye Tingxuan nodded, then as if remembering something, he tilted his head and asked Lin Qingye.

"Why? Do you want to go to the palace with me for the banquet? Or should I go to your house to propose marriage in a few days?"

After hearing this, Lin Qing's face immediately flushed again. She looked at the young man next to her who was full of vigor and vitality, and could not help but answer seriously.

"Ah Xuan, there are some things I cannot let you know right now, as I still have unfinished business.

I want to finish these things first, and then talk about marriage with you, okay?

Would you like to give me some more time? I want...want...want you to wait for me...”

After Lin Qing finished speaking, she lowered her head shyly and quickened her pace a little.

Seeing this, Ye Tingxuan hurriedly chased after him.

"Okay, I understand...

But...BoA...

I want to accomplish those things with you...

What you want to do.”

After listening to this, Lin Qing stopped and turned to look at Ye Tingxuan seriously.

"Well, please help me investigate first, my cheap uncle."

When Ye Tingxuan heard the words "cheap uncle", he didn't react for a moment. He asked with a suspicious look on his face.

"Cheap uncle? Do you mean the current Duke of Zhenguo?"

Lin Qing also nodded.

"I want to know what the relationship is between my cheap uncle and the Shen family, and why he is so eager to help the Shen mother and daughter now."

After hearing this, Ye Tingxuan recalled something and his expression gradually became serious.

"Baoer...when you mentioned this, I remembered something.

That day, the border defense reported that the Northern Kingdom had repeatedly provoked our country, so my father urgently summoned a group of respected ministers to attend the ceremony, including the Duke of Zhenguo.

Originally, your father never got involved in such matters. You also know that your father's performance in the court has been mediocre over the years, and the emperor has never taken him seriously.

It was the Duke of Zhenguo who suggested that your father and other ministers who did not participate should join the discussion. Only then did the Emperor urgently summon your father to the palace overnight.

But the strange thing is that after your father entered the palace to meet the emperor, the Duke of Zhenguo excused himself from the palace early, citing poor health as an excuse.

I didn’t pay attention to it at the time, but now that you suddenly mentioned it, I felt that something was fishy…”

After hearing this, Lin Qing also frowned and asked as if he remembered something.

"Ah Xuan, has Yingxue come back?"

After hearing this, Ye Tingxuan asked back suspiciously.

"Hasn't Yingxue been staying in your house all this time?"

After hearing this, Lin Qing was shocked and asked again quickly.

"Have you really never seen Yingxue?"

After hearing this, Ye Tingxuan seemed to realize something instantly and shouted loudly.

"Somebody come!"

As soon as Yetingxuan finished speaking, two dark guards dressed in black appeared in front of them from nowhere.

Ye Tingxuan crossed his hands behind his back and gave orders in a cold voice.

"Go, find out Yingxue's whereabouts for me, and then notify Yingyue to come to Pingnan Marquis Mansion to find me."

As soon as Ye Tingxuan finished speaking, two secret guards suddenly jumped up and disappeared into the night.

Seeing this, Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.

"Why did I come to my house to look for you? Didn't you send me to the door right away?

You're not going to send me back home, are you?"

After hearing this, Ye Tingxuan nodded proudly.

"Yes, don't thank me, this is what I should do."

Seeing this, Lin Qing rubbed his temples helplessly and continued walking forward.

The two of them soon arrived at the gate of the palace, and Lin Qingye's carriage was parked at the corner of the street in front.

Ye Tingxuan followed Lin Qing to the gate, but found it empty, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Where's the carriage? Didn't you say Cui Xi was waiting for you at the door?"

Lin Qing said a little embarrassedly.

"I had the carriage parked at the corner of the street ahead. I was riding in the Pingnan Marquis's carriage. It would be too conspicuous if I parked it in front of your house."

After hearing this, Ye Tingxuan said with some distress.

"Then next time you come over, I'll send a car to pick you up? No, I'll pick you up in person, okay?"

Lin Qing couldn't help feeling a little shy, her face flushed and she nodded.

"It's good, but I can't come here often..."

Ye Tingxuan asked with some confusion.

"Why is that? You are going to marry me and become the mistress of this mansion. Isn't this just like returning to your own home?

Since this is your home, why can't you come back more often? "

After hearing this, Lin Qing's blush deepened, and she glared at Ye Tingxuan coquettishly.

"When did you become so smooth-talking? Have you been to those red-light districts too much these days? Did you learn it from hanging out with girls?"

Seeing this, Ye Tingxuan kept protesting his injustice.

"It's unfair! It's really unfair!

If you continue to wrongly accuse me, I will report you to the police! You have put a lot of accusations on me tonight."

Lin Qing was also amused by Ye Tingxuan's aggrieved look. Just as he was about to say something else, he heard Cui Xi's exclamation in front of him.

"Ah! Miss! Miss! Miss......"

Woohoooo ...

Miss, where have you been?

Woohoooo ...

You left me here alone for so long! I was just about to go look for you!

Wuu ...

As Cui Xi cried out, she quickly ran towards Lin Qingye, threw herself into her arms, and burst into tears.

This scene stunned Ye Tingxuan who was standing by. He looked at Lin Qing with an incredible expression and asked.

"Why? You didn't tell her that you went to my house to look for me?

Now it’s good, she’s crying like this…”
