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 secretly feeling proud of what she had just said, Ye Tinghua, who had been sitting and watching the show, slowly spoke.

"Miss Lin keeps saying that I took 100,000 dan of grain from you. Do you have any evidence? It is true that I donated 100,000 dan of grain this time, but the 100,000 dan of grain I donated was purchased from Miss Li. There is a contract in black and white. Where is the contract for the 100,000 dan of grain that Miss Lin said she bought? Such a large amount of grain cannot be without any evidence, right? Miss Lin is such a smart person. She would not pay money to someone for no reason without a contract, right?"

After hearing what Ye Tinghua said, Lin Qingyao felt a little unsteady. She held onto the corner of the table and said, "What do you mean? How could the food you donated be purchased from Miss Li? Who is this Miss Li? Where did she get such a large amount of food?"

Seeing this, Li Wanqing stepped forward and walked to the side of Lin Qingyao. He looked at Lin Qingyao and said word by word, "Li Jinsong is my father. Who do you say I am?"

After hearing this, Lin Qingyao felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and she felt cold from head to toe. She carefully looked at the girl in red in front of her.

She had also always heard that the Li family had a seventh daughter, but she was sent to the Western Regions to study when she was young. Shouldn't she have been in the Western Regions all along?

If what the Third Prince just said was true, Lin Qingyao suddenly felt that her behavior just now was like that of a clown. She was too careless and acted rashly without making thorough inquiries.

Lin Qingyao's heart was suddenly filled with remorse. If the Third Prince had not taken her batch of grain, then she would have just fallen out with the Third Prince in vain and cut off her own path in vain.

And the girl in red is actually the seventh lady of the Li family. If I offend her now, will she tell the second son of the Li family about it when she returns?

If the second son of the Li family knew that she met the third prince here today, what would he think of her?

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyao became even more flustered. Her face turned red, and she no longer had the eloquent look she had just now. She stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to stand, sit, or walk.

Li Wanqing couldn't help but laugh out loud when seeing this, "Hahaha, Lin Qingyao, it's true that there's a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there's no door to hell but you break in."

Lin Qingyao already felt very embarrassed, but she didn't expect that Li Wanqing would not let her go. When did she know her name? Did she know her name a long time ago?

At this time, Li Wanqing picked up a bowl of wine on the table, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. Then he let out a hissing sound, wiped his mouth and said.

"Originally, this matter is not my business, and I didn't want to interfere. It was you who wanted to come here to be humiliated today. I warned you at the beginning, but you kept insisting on it.

Actually, Miss Lin, those words you just hesitated to say, you wanted to tell us that my second brother sold the 100,000 dan of grain to you at a low price for no reason, right?"

When Lin Qingyao heard this, she could not stand still for a moment. Her face changed drastically, from red to white, even though Li Wanqing had not yet explained the matter clearly.

But at this moment, Lin Qingyao already felt that she was finished. She just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. She felt like someone had stripped her clothes off and thrown her here.

Lin Qingyao's heart was beginning to waver. She suddenly realized that she was finished. Not only had she offended the Third Prince, but she also lost the connection with the Second Young Master of the Li Family...

Li Wanqing chuckled and said, "Lin Qingyao, have you seen the steward Zhang in your house these past two days? Have you seen my second brother? For the sake of His Highness, I didn't want to embarrass you by pointing these out today. You are just being ungrateful and insisting on running into trouble.

You are not so naive as to think that you can buy 100,000 dan of grain with only 200 taels of silver, are you? Do you really think that all of us in the Li family are as stupid as pigs as you?

You took 100,000 loads of stones and ashes to deceive His Highness, but His Highness was merciful and did not punish you. Now you are trying to blackmail His Highness. You just wanted His Highness to give you the cash. You really think you know how to do business, wanting to exchange a mere 200 taels for hundreds of thousands of taels.

Or did you know that those were stones and grass ashes, and came here today with the intention of blackmailing His Highness?"

After hearing this, Lin Qingyao could no longer stand. She fell to her knees with a plop, and then moved to the side of Ye Tinghua. With tears in her eyes, she looked at Ye Tinghua pitifully and said.

"Your Highness! Yao'er is innocent! Yao'er is innocent! Your Highness, you must believe Yao'er. Yao'er was deceived. Yao'er really wanted to raise food for Your Highness. For this, Yao'er and her mother's shop, land, and jewelry were all sold! If Your Highness doesn't believe it, Your Highness can send someone to check! What Yao'er said is absolutely true! Yao'er's love for Your Highness is evident to all!"

Before Lin Qingyao could finish, Li Wanqing stepped forward and grabbed Ye Tinghua's clothes, saying, "I don't care! When I didn't do anything, His Highness kept asking to send me to the dungeon of Jingzhao Prefecture to celebrate the New Year. Now this Lin Qingyao is clearly blackmailing you, why don't you report her to the police and have her arrested!"

When Lin Qingyao heard what Li Wanqing said, she was instantly frightened. She had just been so aggressive towards Ye Tinghua. What would she do if Ye Tinghua really listened to Li Wanqing and sent her to the authorities in anger?

How could Lin Qingyao live among the noble ladies in Beijing in the future? If this matter got out, she would never be able to marry into a good family again, and she might even have to marry someone as a concubine.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyao burst into tears immediately. She hugged Ye Tinghua's calf and cried softly, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Yao'er was drunk just now, and seeing you so close to Miss Li, I felt jealous. When the alcohol took effect, I said such insincere remarks. Yao'er's heart is still with Your Highness. Blame it on Yao'er for being too nervous about Your Highness, so I became jealous and was so rude just now. Your Highness! For the sake of our past relationship, can you forgive Yao'er this time?"

Lin Qingyao knew in her heart that Ye Tinghua always liked gentle women, so she didn't even dare to cry too loudly, for fear that Ye Tinghua would really be angry with her and, after listening to Li Wanqing's words, would send her to justice.

Seeing that Ye Tinghua was slow to speak, Li Wanqing imitated Lin Qingyao, hugged Ye Tinghua's arm and said, "Your Highness! Your Highness! You must believe what Wan'er said, and quickly send this goblin to Jingzhao Prefecture to celebrate the New Year!"
