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

In the dark room, it was so quiet that one could almost hear the heartbeats of Lin Qingye and Ye Tinghua. Lin Qing just stood there stubbornly. Even though she had thousands of thoughts and questions in her mind at this moment, she remained silent.

Ye Tinghua also sat in front of Lin Qingye's desk in a daze. He didn't understand why Lin Qingye suddenly became so unreasonable. Why did she conclude with such certainty that his mother and the Empress Dowager were the ones who harmed her mother just based on a bracelet?

At this moment, the two of them were like two stubborn donkeys standing in the dark, and neither of them was willing to say another word.

Ye Tinghua finally couldn't help but speak first, "Bao'er, can you put this matter aside for now? Give me some more time, and I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Lin Qing also remained silent for a while after hearing this, and finally he slowly said, "If that's the case, then we'll meet again after you've investigated this matter thoroughly, Your Majesty, please go back!"

After Lin Qingye finished speaking, there was silence in the darkness again, and then there was the sound of Ye Tinghua climbing out the window.

Lin Qingye seemed to be relieved at once, but like a deflated ball, she slowly slid down against the corner of the wall, like a plant that withered in an instant, lifeless.

In the next few days, Lin Qing locked himself in the room and slept soundly every day. He didn't eat much when he woke up occasionally, which made Cui Xi and the others very anxious.

But Lin Qingye always woke up late at night these days. She would wake up when she heard the sound of wind blowing the window in the middle of the night, and in a daze she always felt that Ye Tingxuan came to look for her again.

And during the days when Lin Qing was devastated, Lin Qingyao, Shen and Aunt Liu were all busy. First, Lin Qingyao and Shen went to see the old lady several times.

But unfortunately, the old lady's yard has been guarded tightly by Lin Qingye's men like an iron barrel, and not even a mosquito can fly in.

Afterwards, Lin Qingyao and the other person went to Nan Mingyu's yard to try to find Lin Shan, but as soon as they approached Nan Mingyu's yard, they were frightened by Xiyun who was standing at the yard wall.

The mother and daughter wandered around the mansion for a long time, and finally had no choice but to go to Aunt Liu's courtyard. As soon as they entered Aunt Liu's courtyard, they clearly noticed the changes in Aunt Liu's courtyard.

While looking around Madam Liu's yard, Shen said loudly, "I can't tell! Madam Liu, you have also stolen a lot of Nanmingyu's good things on weekdays, right?"

Aunt Liu, who was worrying about money in her room, stood up as soon as she heard Shen's voice and said, "Hey! What kind of wind is blowing today? How did it bring you here, Madam?"

Shen Shi could hear the sarcasm hidden in Aunt Liu's words. She snorted and didn't intend to argue with Aunt Liu. Instead, she took Lin Qingyao into the house and found a seat to sit down.

Aunt Liu followed in soon after, but she didn't sit down. Instead, she smoothed her hair and spoke nonchalantly.

"As the saying goes, no one comes to see me for no reason. Tell me, what is the reason why Madam came to see me today?"

Seeing that Aunt Liu was speaking so frankly, Shen no longer planned to hide anything, so she spoke straight to the point.

"Do you know what happened in the mansion recently? Why didn't the master go to court for a while? I can't even see the master and the old lady now."

Aunt Liu rolled her eyes and immediately answered with the information she got from the servants, "Madam, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? It was you who asked Nan Mingyu to stand in the courtyard properly, and Nan Mingyu caught a cold and her childhood illness was triggered. I heard that she may not live for long, and now she is hanging on for dear life!"

When Shen heard this, she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. She didn't know whether she should be happy or not. She paused for a long time before asking again, "Is this true?"

Aunt Liu ignored her and turned around to find a seat to sit down and continued, "Otherwise, why would the master stay in her courtyard all the time? And as far as I know, Nan Mingyu's dowry, shop and land have been sold at low prices. I guess this is also a plan by the master. Otherwise, when Nan Mingyu dies, all the dowry under her name will have to be returned to the Zhenguo Mansion."

When Lin Qingyao heard Aunt Liu's analysis, her mind suddenly became clear. She and Shen Shi instantly understood Lin Shan's sudden change.

After hearing the news, Lin Qingyao and Shen couldn't wait to leave Aunt Liu's courtyard. They had never gotten along well with Aunt Liu on a normal day, and now they wanted to escape from here even more.

After Shen and the others left, Aunt Liu's expression changed instantly. A sarcastic smile appeared on her face, and then she talked to herself.

"This mother and daughter are really hopelessly stupid. They can believe this."

In fact, Aunt Liu didn't understand why Lin Shan suddenly valued Nan Mingyu and Lin Qingye so much, but she could keenly feel that things had changed in the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion, and she had to find a way out for herself as soon as possible.

These days, since Aunt Liu had repeatedly run into obstacles with Lin Shan and discovered that many people were inexplicably missing from the mansion, Aunt Liu had been feeling more and more uneasy.

He originally wanted to go find his son Lin Qingyuan to discuss it, but that unfilial man, ever since he brought the orphan girl he picked up on the roadside into the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, not only has he stayed with her day and night, but he has also taken her out to play every few days, so she is not seen all day long.

At this moment, Aunt Liu became more and more angry the more she thought about it. After seeing Lin Qingyao, who seemed well-behaved, standing next to Shen, she suddenly regretted not giving birth to a daughter. Daughters are so good and are much more caring than sons.

At this moment, Aunt Liu could no longer control her heart which was about to explode. She picked up a teacup and smashed it heavily on the ground, cursing loudly.

"How could I have given birth to such a bastard! His mind is full of thoughts about how women should die! He has no regard for his mother at all! I should have strangled him to death!"

After a roar, Aunt Liu started smashing things around in the room. Finally, after smashing all the teacups on the table, Aunt Liu's mood improved a lot.

At this moment, Aunt Liu was only thinking about where to get some money to repay the loan she owed to the underground money lender.

For the entire afternoon, Aunt Liu sat alone and quietly in the messy hall. She felt as if she was trapped in a swamp, with countless hands pulling her down bit by bit. The more she tried to climb up, the deeper she sank.

Aunt Liu just sat there blankly until the sky outside gradually darkened. She pondered quietly for a long time, and finally, as if she had made up her mind, a terrifying smile appeared on her face.
