After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

It had been raining all night with no sign of stopping. In this small house, seldom was anyone coming to clean. One of the windows in the main house had been broken for a long time and now it was squeaking in the wind, which was very disturbing.

The man frowned, and looked obviously unhappy, as if his own well-behaved kittens and puppies had been led astray by the stray cats and dogs outside after going out to play for a day.

He shook his head in disappointment, but his tone was still gentle, "Ling'er...you are still too naive. She treats you well because her position in the Song family is awkward...Have you forgotten that when she first came in, even the servants bullied her. Who else could she order around besides you? Now, isn't it obvious that she doesn't value you that much? Ling'er, she is the eldest daughter of the Wen family. They are all the same, the same. They don't regard us as human beings."

Ling'er was slightly stunned, and in a trance she felt that this was indeed the case.

At first, Qiuju left and the young lady was short of people around her. Apart from Shiyin who came with her as a dowry, she was the only one who could occasionally serve her closely. She was also the one who did the shopping and took care of the small kitchen. Later, Jianshu came and the young lady didn't need her anymore. She was only responsible for the small kitchen, which gave her some free time. When the servants saw her, they still politely called her "Ling'er girl" or "Ling'er girl".

Later, the young lady's meals were taken over by Aunt Gui, and she could help out. However, Aunt Gui already had familiar maids and old women around her, and she seemed clumsy just standing next to them. So gradually... she became the unknown fire-making girl again.

Although the young lady was still the same, the servants' attitude had changed long ago, and the looks they gave her always carried a hint of gloating, as if they were laughing at her previous foolish dreams.

"Ling'er..." Seeing her biting her lip in silence, the man slowly stepped forward and raised his hand to stroke her cheek. His rough fingertips lingered on the corner of her lips, and he coaxed her softly, "I promised you to spare her life, and I also explained... But you see, swords have no eyes, those people's lives are not saved, how can I care about so many things? If she is still alive today, I'm afraid it's you and me who will die! Ling'er... Can you bear to let me die? Your parents died because of the Song family. Have you forgotten who accompanied you all the way? It's not her, the eldest daughter of the Wen family, it's me, it's me... your brother Si Ping!"

Ling'er slowly raised her eyes, her gaze fell on this not-so-handsome young face. After a long while, she slowly nodded, softened her voice, and also softened her body, "Ling'er knows... Brother Si Ping, I know you treat me best, and I also know you are here to help me get revenge."

"You know shit!" With a loud shout, the door was pushed open by gravity, hit the wall hard, and bounced back. Lin Mu, who had his hands on his waist, raised his foot to stop it. He looked at the two people hugging each other in the room and sneered coldly, "In my life, I have only heard of recognizing a thief as a father, but this is the first time I have actually seen someone recognize a thief as a husband! You don't want to live a good life with your parents, but you have to recognize a dead ghost from nowhere to serve and respect. If Madam Sun knew about it, she would want to stuff you back into her stomach! Revenge... With your brain that can't distinguish between friend and foe, don't even think about such a profound thing as revenge!"

Young Master Lin condensed all the fear, regret and annoyance of the whole night into these few short sentences, and spoke with such momentum. After the words fell, the other party suddenly reacted, pushed Ling'er away from his arms, and jumped towards the rear window.

A head popped out of the window, smiling gently and calmly, and greeted leisurely, "Deputy Envoy, long time no see, how are you doing recently?... Oh, it looks pretty good, is this the house where you hide your mistress? Oh, you are a bit stingy! You have so much money in your pocket, but you are willing to buy such a shabby house for your sister Ling'er... Tsk tsk, the little girl doesn't know people, but she doesn't know that this man! Where the money goes, there is the heart."

Ling'er was pushed to the ground by the unexpected push, her face was pale, she could not hear the sounds around her at all, she just stared at Lin Mu at the door with her pupils trembling, what does he... mean? She stumbled to her feet, staggered to the front, and pinched her palm tightly with her fingertips, "You...what do you mean by what you said just now? What do you mean by taking a thief as your husband...what do you mean by Madam Sun stuffing me back into her stomach..."

Lin Mu felt disgusted when he saw her. He pushed her aside and walked in at a fast pace. He raised his chin and drooped his eyes as he glanced at Si Ping, who was half a head shorter than him. He sneered, "Deputy Director of the Maritime Customs, Sir Si Ping... There is now solid evidence that you hired someone to kill someone and assassinated an official of the imperial court. I hope that you can explain all the evil you have done in these years in prison... clearly."

"I, what evil did I do? I didn't do anything evil! It was her!" Si Ping suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Ling'er at the door, stiffening his neck to argue, "It was this little maid who seduced me! She said that the Song family harmed her parents and she wanted to use me to avenge them. She said that the young lady had treated her like a worn-out shoe and she wanted the young lady to die a miserable death! Yes, it was all because of this slut!" When he got excited, it seemed that even he believed it. He jumped up excitedly and rushed towards Ling'er who was looking shocked...

However, just as he pounced forward, Lin Mu grabbed his collar.

Young Master Lin really enjoyed the pleasure of looking down on the other person with his height advantage. He pressed the person's head and sneered, "Tsk, when you were hugging each other and showing affection, you were Sister Ling'er and Brother Siping, but now that disaster is imminent, you are just a slave? When a maid in the Kejing Marquis's mansion made a mistake, it is naturally my master who will judge it. When did you, a small deputy director of the Maritime Customs, get to make decisions? You only need to explain your own crimes. If the deputy director forgets, I can remind you. For example, where did all the armor and ambergris in the Liu family's rouge shop come from... and where did you take Liu Mazi?"

"Liu Mazi?" The other party was obviously stunned, and sneered without thinking, "How would I know where Liu Mazi went?"

Above his head, Lin Mu and Yao Yunfeng exchanged glances. This not-so-smart deputy envoy did not refute the smuggling of Jiaxiang at the first time, but subconsciously cleared Liu Mazi's matter. It seems that Liu Mazi's disappearance has nothing to do with him... The biggest suspect is still the girl who came out of nowhere, whose name is unknown and whose face is only known to be burned. Lin Mu raised his hand and pushed the person to Yao Yunfeng, turned around and left. When he went out, he waved to the people waiting outside the door, "Take the person back and wait for punishment."

Ling'er's face was dazed and she fell to the ground, as if she had lost her parents.
