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

In the old lady's room, the large vat in the middle was still filled with fresh fruits. There was plenty of charcoal in the room, and all of it was top-quality golden charcoal.

Although it was snowing heavily outside, the house was as warm as spring. The temperature of the charcoal fire made the aroma of the fruit in the jar even more fragrant.

The old lady was wrapped in a mink cloak, leaning lazily on the armchair. Lin Qingyao stood beside the old lady, picking a longan in her hand, and serving her carefully.

Shen was sitting on the chair below, sipping the tea in her hand and talking to herself.

"Mother, Lin Qingye has really lost her discipline now. The day before yesterday, she kicked out the teeth of that old woman Liu in front of you. Today, she even dared to come to my yard and commit murder. Mother, you didn't see the way Lin Qingye held the dagger in her hand. It was really scary."

"Mother, you didn't punish her last time when she beat Granny Liu, so now she's become even more outrageous."

"Mother, it was Aunt Nan who stood in my yard to apologize. I was not feeling well today and have been resting in bed since I came back from outside. I had no idea Aunt Nan was standing in the yard!"

The old lady sitting above listened with a more and more gloomy expression. At this time, Lin Qingyao added a sentence at the right time.

"Grandmother, my sister has the guts to kill people with a knife in my mother's yard. If this gets out, where will the reputation of our Pingnan Marquisate be? How will outsiders talk about us? If this matter is known by someone with ulterior motives, they will report my father in the court. This will be..."

Before Lin Qingyao finished speaking, Shen immediately interrupted, "Mother! Even if you don't care about the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, you can't ignore my Yao'er! Yao'er grew up with you since she was a child. Yao'er is one of the best in the capital city in terms of appearance and talent. With Yao'er's reputation outside, she is worthy of marrying a prince. But if the news of Lin Qingye committing a crime in the mistress's courtyard gets out! How will people outside view the daughter of our Marquis' Mansion? How can Yao'er discuss marriage! Mother!"

As she was speaking, perhaps because she was too immersed in the role, Shen suddenly choked up.

The old lady's anger had been pushed to the extreme by Shen and Nan Mingyu at this time. She glared at the maid beside her and said, "What's going on! It's been so long since we sent someone here, but they still haven't come! How do you do things! Send someone to urge them again!"

At the gate of Nan Mingyu's courtyard, the maids and servants who had come there panicked when they saw that the gate had not been opened. They quickly sent two maids to report to the old lady, while the rest of the maids continued to bang on the door and shout at the gate.

The two maids who were guarding the gate of Nanming Yuyuan were transferred from Ye Ting Xuanfu. One was called Xihua and the other was called Xiyun.

Xihua was still standing guarding the gate with an expressionless face, while Xiyun became angry because of the noise and spoke with gritted teeth.

"Xihua, how can you stand it? It's so noisy and you're still standing here like a piece of wood. If it were me, I would just open the door and beat them up. I really want to beat them up!"

Xihua still looked calm and composed. "Let them be. Don't bring unnecessary trouble to the master. They will stop shouting when they are tired, and stop smashing when their hands are hurt."

After hearing this, Xiyun had no choice but to grit her teeth and stand guard there, even though she was reluctant.

But at this moment, the door was actually knocked loose by several old women outside, and a finger stretched out from the two-finger-wide gap. An old woman tried to use this finger to unbolt the door.

Seeing this, Xiyun showed a mischievous smile on his face, took out a dagger from his arms and said softly, "Xihua, can I cut off this finger?"

After hearing this, Xihua immediately rolled her eyes at Xiyun, then turned around and kicked the finger. The old woman at the door immediately pulled her finger back in pain.

At the door came a cry from the old woman, "Ah! Murder! My hand is broken! My hand is broken!"

At this time, the banging and shouting at the gate finally stopped, leaving only the painful crying of the old woman.

"My hands! They've killed someone! My hands! Look at my hands!"

At this moment, Xiyun could no longer bear it. She immediately leaped up onto the wall, stood on the wall and said with disdain, "If you don't leave, I will really kill someone."

After saying that, Xiyun took out a dagger from her bosom and waved it at the women below. Against the backdrop of the snow, the dagger flashed a silver glow.

The maids were so frightened that they scrambled away, and the maid whose hand was pinched immediately stopped talking and ran away with the crowd.

Xiyun jumped down from the courtyard wall at this time, and put the dagger into his arms contentedly, "It's finally quiet now. If I had known it would be so easy to solve, I should have scared them a long time ago."

The maid sent by the old lady to gather information had just gone out when she ran into the people who had been frightened back from Nan Mingyu's place. Among them was a maid who was covering her hands tightly and had tear marks on her face.

Everyone looked at each other, and after a conversation, Hua Po, who was more capable than the old lady, took Lai Po, who had an injured hand, back to the old lady's room to reply.

As soon as Lai Pozi entered the room, she knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady several times. Then she started to perform with tears in her eyes and opened her mouth.

"Madam! Please help me! I have sold myself into the mansion for decades and have been working diligently and willingly. The masters are kind-hearted and treat me very well. I never expected this! The Second Miss insulted me so much and broke my fingers. Finally, she sent a maid who knows Kung Fu to threaten to kill us with a knife! Madam! Please help me!"

At this moment, the old lady's anger was completely ignited, and she hit the ground hard with the cane in her hand.

"How dare you! This Lin Qingye is really so daredevil! I'm not even dead yet! She's already the head of the Marquis's Mansion! Let's go! I'll go there in person today! I want to see how powerful this Lin Qingye's mother is!"

After saying that, the old lady was about to get up and change her clothes. At this moment, Lin Shan came in with a few followers and bowed to the old lady as soon as he came in.

"I have seen you, mother. What is this for?"

When the old lady saw her son coming, she became even more excited and suddenly started coughing violently.

“Cough cough cough cough... Shan’er, mother is old and useless... cough cough cough cough... Even your concubine dares to bully me... cough cough cough cough...”

Lin Shan had just returned from drinking with his colleagues in the court. As soon as he entered the room, he heard the servant who had been guarding the door tell him about what had happened today. He hurried over to the old lady to check on the situation.

The old lady was acting pretentiously at the top, while Lin Qingyao and Shen on the side were adding fuel to the fire, and Lai Po, who was kneeling below, was adding to the story from time to time.

Lin Shan was also filled with rage at this moment. He smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground with all his strength. "Rebellious girl! You are truly a traitor!"
