Biyou replied: “After hearing this, the Second Young Master was furious and wanted to go to the East Courtyard to ask for an explanation from the wife of the Marquis of Yongning and why she wanted to destroy his reputation.

Your mother-in-law slapped the second young master in the face and angrily scolded him: What evidence do you have to prove that it was your aunt who did it?

Besides, our West Court and East Court have been at odds for a long time. If you go and make trouble openly, won't that be a good opportunity for your uncle to teach you a lesson?

The East Court has no son to inherit the title. How can your uncle and aunt feel at peace when they see you? Especially your uncle, who looks gentle and refined, but has evil in his bones.

Whatever you do, you never use your brain.

The second young master yelled, "I was fine, but someone threw dirty water on me. Now people are saying that I am a useless man. I am feeling depressed. Am I just going to sit there and wait for death while they talk nonsense?"

Your mother-in-law said: How long can they talk about this? If you make Lin Luoling pregnant, won't the rumor be broken?

It's a pity that what we were planning was ruined by your aunt's scheme. You should go and tell those friends you often hang out with that you should put on hold the money you gave them to do.

Don't be angry, I have my own way to fight that old witch in the East Courtyard. If it doesn't work openly, I will piss her off secretly and make her unable to find any fault with us. This is the method, do you understand?"

Hearing this, Lin Luoling suddenly realized that her wedding night in her previous life was planned long ago by Lan Wanshuang and Zhu Xianzhi.

It was also Lan Wanshuang and Zhu Xianzhi who paid money to let her friends spread the word that she was not a virgin on her wedding night.

It made everyone in the entire Jingxuzhou know about it.

This time, she took the initiative and found the right remedy, interrupting the conspiracy of Lan Wanshuang and Zhu Xianzhi.

With a "click", Lin Luoling lost her focus and the scissors cut the wick to the root, and the candle suddenly went out.

At this moment, it was as if the cold light burst out from her eyes, freezing the faint candle flame into ice, and the light went out instantly.

Seeing this, Biyou immediately stopped talking.

Lin Luoling put the scissors in her hand next to the candlestick, turned her head and said calmly: "Please continue, I was just listening intently and accidentally cut the wick short."

Bizhi immediately stepped forward to look at Lin Luoling's hand, and seeing that Lin Luoling was not injured, she replaced the red candle with a new one.

Biyou said: "Your mother-in-law whispered in the ear of the second young master for a while, and the second young master went to the study of Yongning Marquis. I found that there were three secret guards guarding the study of Yongning Marquis. I could feel them from a long distance. Their internal strength was extremely deep, and their martial arts should be on par with mine and Bizhi.

The young lady repeatedly told Bizhi and me to hide our martial arts and never let the people in Yongning Marquis' Mansion know that we were fighting, so I didn't dare to go forward to compete with them.

Therefore, I have no idea what the Second Young Master and Marquis Yongning talked about in the study."

After saying that, Biyou lowered her head.

Chen Yin looked at Lin Luoling in bewilderment and said, "Marquis Yongning is just a ninth-rank official in charge of military rations. He has three secret guards assigned to guard his study. Is there any secret that his position could contain?"

Hearing this, Lin Luoling was also very puzzled. Not to mention the ninth-rank official in the Bo Cao clan, even for the county governor's study, he was afraid that he would not send three secret guards to guard it.

Lin Luoling frowned thoughtfully, and then said in a deep voice, "Since the Marquis of Yongning did this, there must be something in his study that cannot be known to outsiders, and it is extremely important."

Seeing Lin Luoling looking over, Biyou hurriedly said, "I saw from afar that Yongning Hou called the housekeeper in to talk, and then the housekeeper came out and went straight to the west courtyard, whispered a few words to your mother-in-law, and took away a maid.

Marquis Yongning ordered two servants to beat the maid with sticks. When she was about to breathe her last, Marquis Yongning called for a stop and asked the second young master to think of an excuse and bring the maid to apologize to the young lady.

I will rush back and report this to the young lady first."

Lin Luoling nodded, took out a veil and a cloak from the cabinet, and told Bizhi, "Go and call a few skilled maids, harness the carriage, and let's go back to the Lin Mansion."

Chen Yin quickly rolled down from the couch, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and asked:

"Sister Ling'er, do you really intend to return to the Lin Mansion? I just wanted to scare the Second Young Master and seek justice for Sister Ling'er. I don't want you to suffer any injustice. I don't really intend to persuade you to return to the Lin Mansion."

Lin Luoling gave Bizhi a look, telling her to do it quickly.

Bizhi quickly walked out of Shuxi Pavilion.

Lin Luoling lowered her voice and said, "Sister Chen Yin, Zhu Xianzhi is a brainless person, and Lan Wanshuang is blinded by jealousy and vanity, and her vision is not long-term enough, but...

The wife of Marquis Yongning is the legitimate daughter of the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. She is probably even more cunning than Marquis Yongning.

This matter was caused by me. Yongning Hou found a "scapegoat" for Zhu Xianzhi. If I accept it happily, Yongning Hou's wife will definitely become suspicious. "

As Lin Luoling spoke, he tied his cloak and put on his veil. He winked at Chen Yin and smiled meaningfully, and continued:

"The Yongning Marquis's Mansion looks like a mirror lake. If we don't stir up the mud, how can we tell who is the 'water ghost' in the mirror lake?"

Chen Yin suddenly realized it, gave Lin Luoling a thumbs up, and said, "This is the best calculation of your chain of plans."

Lin Luoling, who was dressed, was about to walk out of the house with the help of Chen Yin. Biyou quickly followed and whispered to the other side of Lin Luoling:

"Miss, I forgot to tell you just now that Rong Shuhua was beaten very badly this time. I'm afraid she won't be able to get out of bed for a month or two."

Lin Luoling ordered, "You don't have to be here. Go and keep an eye on Lan Wanshuang. I suspect she will take action against the East Courtyard tonight. Go and see what she is planning to do behind the scenes."

Biyou received the order, nodded slightly, took a step, jumped onto the roof, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Chen Yin, who was supporting Lin Luoling as they walked towards the Yongning Marquis's gate, analyzed with Lin Luoling: "Sister Ling'er may not know that it costs a lot of money to buy secret guards, and it also costs a lot of money to raise secret guards.

Look at the soldiers in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, you can count them with your ten fingers, and there are not enough maids and servants in the mansion. You can tell that the Yongning Marquis' Mansion must be short of money.

The Marquis of Yongning spent a lot of money to raise three secret guards. The more I think about it, the more I feel that his study is not simple. "

Lin Luoling smiled and replied, "It's not just as Sister Chen Yin said. The Marquis of Yongning is just a ninth-rank official. Can he afford to support the Marquis of Yongning's mansion with his salary? It's difficult for him to support his wife and concubines, let alone so many servants in the mansion."

Chen Yin frowned and said, "Really? Could it be that the Yongning Marquis is eating the savings left by his ancestors?"

Lin Luoling shook her head and said, "The Yongning Marquis' Mansion has been in deficit for more than ten years. If my sixty-six loads of dowry are really brought in, it will just fill 80% of the deficit of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion."

"Ah?" Shen Yin exclaimed.

Lin Luoling quickly covered her mouth and gestured to her to keep quiet.

Chen Yin asked, "Does stepmother know about this?"

Lin Luoling shook her head and pulled Chen Yin towards the door quickly.

Just at this moment, he heard a flurry of footsteps behind him, and Lin Luoling quickened his pace.

"Ling'er, where are you going?"

Seeing that Lin Luoling was about to step out of the mansion, Zhu Xianzhi grabbed the maid who was beaten to death and shouted hurriedly.
