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

It was already late at night, and Lin Qingyao was still waiting in her room for Steward Zhang and Shen to come back from checking the grain. Although Steward Zhang's words were so certain, Lin Qingyao still needed to confirm again before she could feel at ease. After all, this matter was related to whether she could successfully marry into the Third Prince's Mansion.

If this matter is accomplished, not only will the Third Prince come to the palace to ask the Emperor for a marriage, but Lin Qingyao's reputation in Kyoto will also be raised to a higher level. By then, she will be the most noble lady in Kyoto. Looking around, all the noble ladies in Kyoto are fools who only know how to recite poems, dress up, and pretend to be cultured.

Who can compare to her, Lin Qingyao, who is compassionate and loving to the people, and has such a kind heart. Only with her broad mind can she be worthy of the identity of the mother of a country in the future, and the third prince can only better secure the position of the crown prince in the future by marrying her.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyao felt proud again. She began to think about it again. What if she personally went to the scene to distribute porridge to the victims when they entered the city? What color dress should she wear? She must find a way to trap the bitch Lin Qingye in the mansion that day to prevent her from stealing her limelight like she did today.

The third prince soon received the news that the food supplies had been robbed. He was so angry that he smashed several vases in the room.

"Useless! All of you are useless! Why did I raise you? Go and investigate! Once you find out, kill them without mercy!"

After the Third Prince vented his anger, he gradually calmed down when he thought of the 50,000 dan of grain that Lin Qingyao had guaranteed for him.

He had been planning for the disaster victims' matter for more than a year and had invested a lot of money in it, leaving him already stretched to the limit. This time, he had to succeed and not fail.

When the third prince thought about the silver, a person flashed through his mind, Lin Qingye.

Before, Lin Qingyao told him that Lin Qingye’s mother had a lot of dowry, and the current Marquis of Pingnan relied on her mother’s dowry to maintain his previous extravagant life. This made him want to take Lin Qingye into the mansion.

Originally he had discussed it well with Lin Qingyao. On the day of Lin Qingye's coming of age, Cuiyun would push her into the water, and he would rescue her. Although he would tell others that it was a maidservant beside him who rescued her, he would write to Lin Qingye afterwards and ask her to meet him privately.

After all these things, combined with his identity as the third prince and his handsome appearance, Lin Qing would just throw himself into his arms obediently. With Lin Qing by his side, he would never have to worry about not having money to do anything in the future.

It's just strange that after I rescued her that day, when I wanted to let Cuiyun deliver the letter, something happened to Cuiyun, and Lin Qing was also put in solitary confinement. That Cuiyun was useless, she was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.

Thinking of this, Ye Tinghua was so angry that he wanted to smash things again. He picked up a vase, thought about his current situation, then put it down, raised his hand and slapped the servant who was serving him in the face.

"Waste! All of you are waste! Now! Immediately! Send secret guards to the Pingnan Marquis's mansion to tie up that girl named Cuiyun for me! If I can't see her within half an hour, you will all be beheaded!"

Soon, the Third Prince's secret guards sneaked into the Marquis of Pingnan's mansion and secretly knocked Cuiyun unconscious and brought her here.

Cuiyun was still unconscious when she was thrown in front of the Third Prince. The Third Prince was so furious when he saw her in that state that he walked up to Cuiyun and kicked her without any mercy.

Cuiyun was kicked awake by the Third Prince. She opened her eyes and was about to shout, but was met with the murderous eyes of the Third Prince. She was so frightened that she immediately knelt down.

"My slave, please see His Highness the Third Prince."

The Third Prince suddenly felt disgusted with Cuiyun and kicked her again, "Bitch!"

Cuiyun's body was already damaged by her previous miscarriage, and after she married Wang Mazi, she was tortured by him every night, often not allowed to sleep all night long. Her body had long been unable to bear it. Now she was hit by two strong kicks from the Third Prince. She felt a heat rising in her chest, and she spat out a mouthful of blood as soon as she opened her mouth.

Cuiyun didn't know why she was suddenly caught and brought in front of the Third Prince while she was sleeping soundly in bed. She didn't understand why the Third Prince, who had always been gentle and polite, suddenly became a different person, but she didn't dare to ask.

Cuiyun had no choice but to kneel down, then she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth tremblingly, kowtowed to the Third Prince and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. It is not a pity for me to die, but Your Highness must not get angry because of me."

The Third Prince's anger was mostly gone when he saw Cuiyun's respectful attitude. He took a sip of the tea handed to him by the servant beside him and said, "Why didn't you deliver any of the letters I asked you to deliver? You didn't come to deliver any news to me either."

Cuiyun explained quickly, "Your Highness, I was promised by the Second Miss to Wang Mazi, the groom of the mansion. Wang Mazi not only humiliates me every night, but he is also very suspicious. He keeps a close eye on me every day. If I do something wrong, he will beat me up. He even ties me up with ropes when we sleep at night. I really can't get away, Your Highness!"

After that, Cuiyun rolled up her sleeves to show Ye Tingxuan the scars on her body. Ye Tingxuan waved his hand impatiently and said, "Put down your sleeves quickly, and don't pollute my eyes. I came to you today for only one thing. If you can do this well, I can save you from the hell."

Cuiyun immediately showed a delighted expression after hearing this and said, "Your Highness the Third Prince, are you serious? If Your Highness can save me, I will serve you wholeheartedly in the future."

The Third Prince nodded in satisfaction and said, "For me, a prince, it is as easy as killing an ant to kill a servant of the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion. As long as you can return to work for Lin Qingye again, I will immediately send someone to help you get rid of that groom."

Cuiyun immediately kowtowed three times to the Third Prince after hearing this, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will definitely fulfill my mission."

The Third Prince waved his hand impatiently at Cuiyun and said, "Forget about what happened last time. This time, I only have three days to give you. If you meet my expectations after three days, I have plenty of ways to make you suffer a hundred times more than you are now."

Before Cuiyun could say anything, the secret guards at the side stepped forward immediately. One of them knocked Cuiyun unconscious with a knife and took her away.

It was almost dawn, and the third prince was still sitting at the table, his brows furrowed for a long time.

For some reason, he had a vague sense of uneasiness in his heart. What was the purpose of the people who robbed the grain this time? Was he really an ordinary bandit? Or had someone spied on his whereabouts? It seemed that the victims had to enter the city as soon as possible.

Now that all his food has been looted, he can only wait until dawn to contact Lin Qingyao. Now all his hopes are on her.
