"Xie Lingqin, what are you doing?"
Just then, a cold shout suddenly rang out.
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingyu's anger vanished instantly, replaced by helplessness, pitifulness, and grievance.
Xie Lingqin glanced sideways at the young man in brocade robes approaching.
Xie Danling.
"I really thought you'd been carried off by wolves, but I never expected you to be bullying your second sister here."
Xie Danling rushed over, pushed Xie Lingqin aside, and hurriedly helped up Xie Lingyu, whose eyes were already red. "Second sister, are you alright? I heard about what happened just now. The Crown Prince must have been deceived by this woman."
This woman?
Xie Lingqin's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Danling, didn't I tell you to stay in your room and read? Why are you here?" Xie Lingyu raised her eyelashes pitifully, her voice so soft that one wanted to hold her in their arms.
Xie Dandan was even more furious upon seeing this. "It's a good thing I came back, otherwise I would never have imagined that she, who seems so useless on the surface, could be so vicious behind the scenes."
"No." Xie Lingyu hurriedly tugged at Xie Danling's sleeve, "Danling, don't blame your eldest sister. She just encountered bandits today. I had the wise king's help, and she... don't blame her."
"Hmph, the Prince likes Second Sister because she is beautiful and talented. What right does she have to be jealous?"
Oh my God.
Xie Lingqin really wanted to knock some sense into Xie Danling and see what kind of shit was growing in his head.
As Xie Danling spoke, she carefully shielded Xie Lingyu behind her, and looked at Xie Lingqin as if she were looking at her father's killer.
The boy, aged thirteen or fourteen, was of good height and even taller than Xie Lingqin.
She was already beautiful with red lips and white teeth, but now her red lips were tightly twisted and her brows were furious.
It does have quite a bit of imposing presence.
but……
Xie Lingqin gave him a cold look, then gestured to Zihe beside her, "Let's go."
The word "light and indifferent" conveys a sense of composure and tranquility, as if untouched by the dust of the world.
Seeing Xie Lingqin leave, Xie Danling stomped his foot angrily, "That wicked woman." He didn't want to go forward to argue, but Xie Lingyu stopped him, "Don't."
Helpless, Xie Danling and a maid helped Xie Lingyu walk to the other side, saying, "Second sister, I'll take you back to your courtyard."
"Yes, Danling, I am very gratified to have such a brother. However, please don't blame your older sister. She is feeling...uncomfortable."
"Second sister, please stop talking. I've just seen what she's really like, and it's only because you've suffered this injustice."
"I'm not wronged. The Crown Prince is not someone we can offend. It's just that I have to kneel for another night. I'll just have to use my brain."
"Second sister, you are so kind."
The sound gradually faded into the distance.
However, Zihe possesses internal energy.
Because of her past life, Xie Lingqin had sharp hearing and eyesight. In addition, her health had been improving day by day, and she had been exercising diligently. Therefore, even though she was so far away, she heard every word perfectly.
“Miss, I think if you explain things clearly to the young master, he might no longer be deceived by the second young lady.”
"I don't need to make him smart. As long as he doesn't get in my way, it doesn't matter."
Xie Lingqin said coldly.
Zihe looked back again, a sigh on her face.
Back at Qingshui Pavilion, after having a meal, Xie Lingqin thought for a moment and then secretly slipped out of the General's Mansion to meet Bai Yu.
After today's events, she felt that there were some things she needed to change.
The Maocai restaurant is almost ready.
Bai Yu looked at her with a blank expression after hearing some of her plans.
"I say, Yan She, where did you come from, you little monster? How can you have so many ideas that I wouldn't even dare to think of?"
"A good idea is one that can make money." Xie Lingzhu didn't take it seriously. He discussed it with Bai Yu in detail, checked the sky, and then parted ways with Bai Yu to go to another place.
The residence of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
That is, Qin Qi's home.
Although she gave Qin Ye a beating at the general's mansion that day, she knew in her heart that she had only given him a few blows and that he would not become seriously ill or paralyzed.
There must be something wrong here.
The Vice Minister's residence was quiet.
They successfully made their way into Qin Qi's courtyard and slipped into the house.
Qin Qi lay on the couch, and judging from his complexion, he was truly ill. Xie Lingqin flicked his leg, but he didn't react at all.
But this...
It was clearly man-made.
Is it because she has a grudge against Qin Qi, or is someone trying to drag her down? Or is it someone else who wants to profit from the situation?
Xie Lingqin was frowning when she suddenly heard a sound coming from not far outside the door.
"What are you doing here? Get out of here, don't offend my eyes." With a woman's stern shout, the sound of a whip striking a body was heard.
Xie Lingqin frowned.
She recognized that voice all too well; it was the same way she was greeted when she first transmigrated here.
Heading towards the sound, they saw behind a rockery a young man kneeling on a straw mat, being whipped by the wife of the Vice Minister, who was also the younger sister of the Second Concubine and Qin Qi's mother.
The autumn night was deep and cold.
The man was not wearing an undergarment, only thin trousers, with his back and neck...
Except for his face, he was covered in bloody welts from whipping.
There were new ones and old ones; under the moonlight, the sight was shocking.
The man kept his head down, clearly sweating profusely from the pain, yet he remained completely silent.
"You're so tough, aren't you? You've got guts, haven't you? Now that you see my son is hurt, you're happy, aren't you? You bitch, just like your mother, you bitch! I'll beat you to death..."
"Madam, please stop hitting him. If you keep hitting him and kill him, it won't be easy to explain to the master."
Just as the man was about to faint, a nanny came up to persuade him.
