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

Just when Lin Qingyao was feeling proud, Li Wanqing suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Miss Lin, do you know how much money is needed to buy 100,000 dan of grain?"

Li Wanqing knew this of course. After all, she had really planned to purchase 100,000 dan of grain. She had negotiated the price with others and even paid the deposit.

But that damned little bitch Lin Qing also interfered, causing him and his mother not only to fail to get the balance, but also to lose the deposit for nothing.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyao's hatred for Lin Qingye grew in her heart. She decided to let Lin Qingye and her daughter live happily for a few days. After she got the compensation from the Third Prince, she would deal with that bitch mother and daughter.

Anyway, now that she has broken up with the Third Prince, her plan to have Lin Qing marry into the Third Prince's house as a concubine will be a failure.

If I can't be the most noble woman in the world, then I will have to be the richest woman in the world. With my talent, after marrying into the Li family, I will definitely be able to sit on the position of the head of the family. Then, it will be easy for me to take some of the Li family's property.

Well, since she was planning to marry the second son of the Li family in the future, Nan Mingyu's dowry would not be enough. The Li family was rich enough to rival a country. Although Nan Mingyu's dowry was large, it was nothing compared to the Li family, which was rich enough to rival a country.

My mother and I no longer need to calculate Nan Mingyu's dowry. Then, we can deal with Nan Mingyu and Lin Qingyao, the bitch mother and daughter, however we want.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyao's heart suddenly blossomed with joy, and she wished she could run to meet the second young master of the Li family right now.

Seeing that Lin Qingyao didn't say anything, Li Wanqing asked again, "Let's not talk about how much the 100,000 dan of grain is worth. You are just a young lady from Pingnan Marquis's mansion. Pingnan Marquis only donated 100 taels of silver for this disaster. How did you, an unmarried young lady, get the money to buy 100,000 dan of grain? The official allowance of Pingnan Marquis is only 100 taels of silver per month. If you don't give a reasonable explanation today, I'm afraid that if this matter gets out, it will not only harm your reputation, but I'm afraid that everyone in Pingnan Marquis's mansion will be implicated by you."

Li Wanqing's words instantly brought Lin Qingyao, who was just feeling complacent, back to her original form. Lin Qingyao was shocked and couldn't help but look at the petite girl in red in front of her again.

I didn't expect that this little girl, who looked like she wasn't even of marriageable age, had such clear thinking. If an ordinary young lady heard what I just said, she would have been ashamed to death. But this Miss Li in front of me could actually point out the key problem so clearly.

Seeing that the little guy Li Wanqing was so eloquent, Ye Tinghua instantly sat down and relaxed, watching Li Wanqing stand up for him with interest.

Lin Qingyao originally wanted to say that the money was taken by Nan Mingyu, but then she changed her mind and was afraid that it would be spread out that the money of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion was spent by the concubine. However, in the current situation, she was afraid that if she didn't explain it clearly, Miss Li would not let her go.

If she said now that the second son of the Li family sold this batch of grain to her at a low price, how would the third prince look at her? Although she and the third prince had reached this point, she still cared about this kind of reputation.

Besides, these 100,000 dan of grain is not a small amount of money. It is hundreds of thousands of taels. No one would easily believe that someone would be willing to sell it for 200 taels.

Even if he said now that it was the second son of the Li family who sold it to him for two hundred taels of silver, he would probably still be called in to testify.

Didn't the second son of the Li family find out that the grain was given to Ye Tinghua by me when he arrived? Then how would the second son of the Li family think of me? How would he misunderstand my relationship with the third prince?

How would the Third Prince misunderstand the relationship between me and the Second Young Master of the Li Family? If I said that I had never met the Second Young Master of the Li Family, would the Third Prince believe me?

Lin Qingyao couldn't help but regret her impulsive behavior at this moment. She really shouldn't have told others about the 100,000 dan of grain. If she had gone to Ye Tinghua privately, she wouldn't have to prove herself like this.

It’s all because of this Knife Wine. Normally, I can drink quite well, but after just finishing a bowl of this wine, my emotions became hard to control and I did all these things.

Now that the arrow has been shot, there is no turning back. I have already said it, so I have to go ahead and say it. Otherwise, not only will I not get the money back today, but I will also offend the Third Prince completely. It will be even more difficult for me to see the Third Prince in the future, let alone ask for money.

Lin Qingyao weighed the pros and cons in her mind, and finally said, "This batch of grain was indeed purchased by my mother and me, and the money used to buy this batch of grain was also innocent. It is not convenient for me to tell you about this, Miss Li. His Royal Highness the Third Prince certainly knows where the money came from."

After saying that, Lin Qingyao looked towards Ye Tinghua, bowed slightly to him and added, "Your Highness, don't you think so?"

Ye Tinghua couldn't help but find it funny after hearing this. He really was right about the person. Lin Qingyao's words were really flawless. It was a pity that he didn't fall for Lin Qingyao's tricks anymore.

Ye Tinghua then took a sip of wine and answered nonchalantly, "Miss Lin, do you have any basis for what you said? How did I know about your Lin family's affairs?"

Seeing Ye Tinghua's attitude at the moment, Li Wanqing immediately understood something in her heart. She continued to ask, "Ms. Lin, as the saying goes, there is nothing that cannot be told to others. If the source of the money is innocent, why doesn't Miss Lin speak out openly, but keeps being evasive and talking about other things. Is there something wrong? What exactly does Miss Lin want to hide?"

Lin Qingyao was rendered speechless by Li Wanqing's aggressive words. Only then did she clearly understand that if she didn't explain the reason today, she might not be able to leave this place.

Lin Qingyao was sober at once, and sweat broke out on her back. She carefully considered the causes and consequences of all the statements in her mind.

Finally, Lin Qingyao gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind, and slowly said, "The money to buy 100,000 dan of grain was paid by the Third Aunt in our Marquis' Mansion."

After saying this, Lin Qingyao did not feel relieved. Instead, she seemed to have suffered some kind of humiliation. She bit her lips tightly, her eyes revealing resentment. She stared straight at Li Wanqing, as if she was about to cry out in the next second.

Seeing this, Li Wanqing did not give in. Instead, she said with a mocking look on her face, "Why? I don't know where the third concubine of your mansion came from. How could a mere concubine easily come up with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?"
