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

With the end of Concubine Yu's performance, the palace banquet also came to an end. After three rounds of wine, everyone's emotions seemed extremely excited, and there was laughter in the hall for a while.

Only Shen and Lin Qingyao had looks of unwillingness and resentment on their faces. They were quietly rubbing the handkerchiefs in their hands under the table, as if they wanted to vent all their anger on the handkerchiefs.

Obviously, Lin Qingye also noticed the actions of Lin Qingyao and Shen at this moment. She didn't care at all whether Lin Qingyao could perform well at the banquet today. She only cared whether Lin Qingyao could quickly capture the heart of the second prince at this banquet today.

In order to avoid standing out at the banquet, Lin Qingye sat further back today. He almost always covered his face with a round fan and did not dare to make any big movements while eating, for fear of being noticed.

At this moment, Lin Qingye was still thinking about setting off fireworks when Ye Tingxuan suddenly said to her. Ye Tingxuan asked her to marry him. He did not say prince's consort, but wife, his wife's wife.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing's heartbeat quickened and his cheeks became hot unconsciously.

In fact, everything that is happening now is what she had imagined after her rebirth. It seems that everything is going according to her plan.

Although Lin Qingyao and Shen have not yet received the punishment they deserved, at present, the situation is still under her control. At least the Pingnan Marquis Mansion is now under her control, and Nan Mingyu's dowry has all been taken back.

If she had not learned about the affair between Nan Mingyu and Gulan in this life, she would have agreed to Ye Tingxuan without hesitation.

But when I thought about how Nan Mingyu had silently endured all that for so many years, and how she had reluctantly separated from me in order to protect me, I realized that I had misunderstood her all these years.

Ever since she learned that Nan Mingyu was poisoned, she has been thinking about a question: perhaps, God did not let her be reborn to avenge himself.

Maybe it was so that he could save Nan Mingyu. Otherwise, why were those things that he had never discovered in his previous life discovered by chance in this life?

Ye Tingxuan, who was sitting opposite Lin Qingye, was also worried. He kept wondering if he had been too abrupt tonight and said those words that embarrassed Lin Qingye without thinking.

At present, he has promised Lin Qingye to investigate the poisoning of Nanmingyu, but there has been no result yet. The person who hurt Lin Qingye's mother was either the Queen or the Empress Dowager, both of whom were his closest relatives.

Ye Tingxuan didn't know why he blurted out those words tonight. Maybe he was also afraid of the truth in his heart.

He was afraid that the results of the investigation would cause Lin Qingye to distance herself from him, so he wanted to tie himself and Lin Qingye together tightly before that, which led to those words that came out of his mouth without any preparation.

The third prince Ye Tinghua, who was sitting nearby, was quietly looking at Lin Qingye without changing his expression. This was the first time he had seen Lin Qingye since they parted at the door of the Golden Silk Embroidery Workshop that day.

Lin Qing today seemed to be much thinner than when she stood at the door of the Golden Silk Embroidery Workshop that day. Her cheeks originally had a bit of girlish roundness, but now she had an angular face, and her facial features appeared deeper and more three-dimensional.

Ye Tinghua always felt that Lin Qing gave him a sense of déjà vu, and for some reason, every time he looked at her, an inexplicable sense of guilt would arise in his heart.

But including this time, he and Lin Qingye had only met three times. Once was on her coming-of-age day when he and Lin Qingyao plotted to make her fall into the water, once was at the entrance of the Golden Silk Embroidery Workshop, and the other time was today's palace banquet.

From time to time, Ye Tinghua secretly looked at Lin Qingye opposite him with seemingly erratic eyes, and tried hard to recall where he had seen her before.

The real end of the palace banquet came when Concubine Yu gave the emperor a lazily look. The emperor immediately understood what she meant and announced that the palace banquet was over.

Without waiting for anyone to reply, the Emperor impatiently strode away from the banquet with Concubine Yu. The rest of the people also stood up, bowed to the Queen, and left in groups.

Lin Qingyao had been staring at the direction of the Second Prince since the banquet ended, but the Fourth Prince was pestering the Second Prince and talking to him, leaving Lin Qingyao no chance to even look him in the eye.

For this reason, Lin Qingyao kept dragging her feet and refused to get up and leave. Shen, who was standing next to her, seemed to understand Lin Qingyao's thoughts. She smiled and explained to the noble lady next to her who invited her to leave together that her legs were a little numb after sitting for a long time and she wanted to rest before leaving.

Lin Qingye soon noticed the little thoughts of the mother and daughter. She instantly understood that Lin Qingyao must have a new prey at this moment, and the direction she had been looking at just now must be either the Second Prince or the Fourth Prince.

Seeing this, Lin Qing didn't intend to care about the mother and daughter anymore. He just stood up and walked out the door with Yingyue.

Lin Qingyao and Shen were even more delighted when they saw Lin Qingye leave. Without Lin Qingye around to get in the way, things would be easier to accomplish. She had to talk to the Second Prince tonight, even just a few words would be fine. She had to make sure the Second Prince kept thinking about her tonight.

Lin Qingye and Yingyue had already walked to the palace gate, and Ye Tingxuan had been following them secretly. Ye Tinghua saw Lin Qingye who was alone from afar, and was overjoyed, and was about to go up to him and start a conversation.

Suddenly he heard a familiar sound of golden bells. He felt something was wrong and immediately used his internal energy to escape. After he took two steps, a red color that made him dizzy appeared in front of him.

Ye Tinghua rubbed his forehead and said in despair, "Are you a ghost? Why are you haunting me? You are everywhere!"

As soon as Li Wanqing saw Ye Tinghua, she stretched out her hands as if to hug him, but soon Ye Tinghua seemed to have predicted her movement and dodged easily by simply turning sideways.

Li Wanqing then pouted and said, "Even if I am a ghost, I am still the enchanted female ghost in the dilapidated temple."

Ye Tinghua immediately reacted strongly, shaking his head vigorously and said, "No, no, no, I don't want to be a short-lived scholar who drinks poison to quench his thirst."

Li Wanqing ignored Ye Tinghua's resistance and grabbed Ye Tinghua's arm and hugged him, "Your Highness, how can you be so self-deprecating? You are a prince, you are a thousand years old, how can you say you have a short life?"

Ye Tinghua tried desperately to peel Li Wanqing's hands off his arms while scolding in a low voice.

"Li Wanqing! This is the Imperial Palace! Let go of your hands! How dare you flirt with the prince in public in the Imperial Palace! Don't you want to keep your head anymore?"
