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

Ye Tinghua was not completely without affection for Lin Qingyao, after all, his original intention was to marry Lin Qingyao as his principal wife. He had been planning this for so long, and if nothing unexpected had happened, he would have wanted to share this honor with Lin Qingyao.

His original intention was to donate grain with Lin Qingyao to gain fame. By then, Lin Qingyao would be the only noble lady in the capital. His father would definitely reward Lin Qingyao. Then he would ask his father for permission to marry her...

Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes. Having said that, Lin Qingyao actually dared to use a pile of stones to deceive me. Did she really think I was a fool?

Thinking of this, Ye Tinghua became furious. At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Wanqing standing beside him with a righteous look. He quickly winked at Li Wanqing, indicating that Li Wanqing should save him.

Unfortunately, Li Wanqing's mind was all on Lin Qingyao at this moment. She stared at Lin Qingyao with her eyes, and one hand tightly grasped the long whip on her waist.

At this moment, Du Song staggered out from the inner room. He walked to Li Wanqing's side with drunken eyes and asked stumblingly, "Bing... Bu... Ping... Ping'er, you are standing here for someone, but you can't drink anymore. Do you want to refuse to drink?"

Li Wanqing's eyes were still fixed on Lin Qingyao, and she said without turning her head, "Du Song, I want to whip her, is that okay?"

Du Song was obviously drunk at this moment. He waved his hand, made an exaggerated gesture and said, "Come! If you can't beat me, I'll help you hold it down!"

As the golden bell in Li Wanqing's hand rang, the long whip on his waist came out. With a crisp "snap..." sound, Li Wanqing's long whip went straight towards Lin Qingyao and Ye Tinghua.

Ye Tinghua instantly grabbed the whip that Li Wanqing was swinging at him with one hand and roared, "Li Wanqing! Do you want to live in the dungeon of Jingzhao Prefecture tonight?"

Tears welled up in Li Wanqing's eyes. She stubbornly took back the whip and then looked at Ye Tinghua without saying a word.

Lin Qingyao was also startled by Li Wanqing's sudden whip. She called out softly, "Your Highness! Yao'er is scared!"

Then she made a gesture to get into Ye Tinghua's arms. Seeing this, Ye Tinghua stood up and Lin Qingyao almost fell to the ground.

Lin Qingyao's face changed instantly, and she cursed in her heart, "You are so good, Ye Tinghua, do you really think that no one wants me? If I hadn't raised the 100,000 dan of grain for you, would you have such a good reputation today? Would the emperor use you so much? You are really an ungrateful person. Have you forgotten that you were also in this place that day, and how you begged me with sweet words? Now that you are in power, you immediately change your face to me. Fortunately, it is not too late now. Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."

Lin Qingyao immediately adjusted his mentality, changed his expression in an instant, and stood up and said, "Since Your Highness has no interest in Yao'er, then Yao'er doesn't have to have feelings for Your Highness. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Please return the 100,000 dan of grain that Yao'er gave you, or convert it into silver according to the market price. I believe that Your Highness is a prince, and the third prince who is now kind in the eyes of the people. He will definitely not drown the silver and money of a mere girl like Yao'er."

Ye Tinghua was also shocked after hearing what Lin Qingyao said and couldn't help laughing out loud. Which eye was blind that he fell in love with Lin Qingyao in the first place? Why was she saying these things now? Was she trying to blackmail him?

Ye Tinghua suddenly felt angry and amused, and was unable to respond for a moment. He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar woman in front of him, and the last bit of affection in his heart for her disappeared in an instant, leaving only disgust for her calculating nature.

Before Ye Tinghua could speak, Lin Qingyao pressed on, "Your Highness, why are you silent? Are you trying to deny your debt? Yao'er has evidence, and Your Highness doesn't want to have a fight with Yao'er in front of the palace and ask the Emperor to explain!"

Ye Tinghua's anger was instantly ignited by Lin Qingyao's words. He slammed the table angrily and was about to speak, but Li Wanqing instantly walked in front of him, protected him behind him and spoke.

"Ms. Lin, please don't act crazy here when you can only drink two ounces of wine. If you leave now, I will assume that you are drunk and talking nonsense. Otherwise, I will settle the score with you on behalf of His Highness."

Lin Qingyao also got angry after hearing this. She took out a handkerchief from her bosom and shook it, saying, "Miss Li, where did you come from? What I said today is all based on evidence. How can you say that I was drunk and talking nonsense? But you, an unmarried lady, are drinking and having fun with two strangers in a closed room in broad daylight. How can this be considered decent? Our dynasty has always valued the reputation of women. I wonder how Miss Li will deal with this matter after it gets out?"

Li Wanqing was overwhelmed by Lin Qingyao's rules. Her face turned red with anxiety and she was speechless for a while. She pointed at Lin Qingyao angrily and said, "You...you...you...you are full of shit!"

Lin Qingyao was very proud of this. She smoothed her hair contentedly and continued, "Miss Li, you keep saying you are acting for His Highness. May I ask who are you to His Highness? Did His Highness ask you to act for him? We all saw His Highness's attitude towards you today.

Miss Li, don't say I didn't warn you. If you get so close to His Highness in public, how will you discuss marriage in the future if this gets out? "

After Lin Qingyao decided to give up Ye Tinghua in her heart, her IQ instantly took the upper hand. Her words were a double entendre, pointing out that Ye Tinghua had no interest in Li Wanqing, and also pointing out that it was impolite for Li Wanqing to stand up and speak for Ye Tinghua.

Lin Qingyao was very happy at this moment. She was very satisfied with the combination of punches she had thrown, she thought to herself.

"Ye Tinghua, you are ruthless to me, so don't blame me for being ungrateful. My mother and I have put all our wealth into this. I, Lin Qingyao, will not do such a thing to help others. Since I can't get the conditions you promised me, I will get back double my investment. Although the 100,000 dan of grain was sold to me at a low price by the second son of the Li family, it was also earned by my own charm. I will never give it to others, and neither can you, Ye Tinghua."

Lin Qingyao had already made up her mind at this moment. She was going to get the 100,000 dan of grain back today no matter what. She could ask for money in exchange for the grain. Given Ye Tinghua's current attitude, she didn't dare to continue gambling with him.

Fortunately, he still had a backup candidate in the second son of the Li family. Although he had never seen the second son of the Li family, he heard that the Li family members were good-looking and financially strong, and that they were the family that many girls in Kyoto wanted to marry into.

Thinking of this, the slight lingering feeling that Lin Qingyao had for Ye Tinghua just disappeared. At this moment, she just wanted to take the money and leave.
