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

At this moment, the night outside was warm and the dark sky was dotted with stars, which contrasted with the torches on the ground.

The camp was full of singing and dancing a few days ago, but tonight it was replaced by silence, with only the sound of guards patrolling back and forth.

Cui Xi was pulled by Lin Qingye and sat down next to her on the bed.

Cui Xi pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

"Miss... I got up early today. When it was still light outside, I got up to boil water and prepare breakfast for you.

It was at this time that I saw an old woman in ragged clothes. She looked dirty and her clothes were half-naked.

But her figure seemed very familiar to me, so I kept secretly observing where she went...

Finally, I saw with my own eyes that old woman went straight into the eldest lady's camp. I watched her for a while and saw that she had no intention of coming out, so I went to boil water.

Miss, you were still asleep at that time, so I didn't tell you about this...

Later, after I boiled the water, I heard some noise at the eldest lady's door, so I went to take another look.

Then I saw Shen lying at the door in her clothes, and I hurried over to report to the young lady..."

After hearing this, Lin Qing also began to think deeply, trying to connect the ragged old woman with Shen who had fainted at the door.

"Xi'er, how can you be sure that the ragged old woman is Shen?"

Cui Xi blurted out without thinking.

"The young lady just told me that those bandits insisted that they had an affair with the Madam.

Then I thought of that old woman. I felt that the lady was dressed like she had just escaped from a bandit's lair.

Just think about it, the eldest lady is such a strong-willed person, even if she wants to have an affair, she will never look down.

At the very least, she would find someone who is equal to our Pingnan Marquis Mansion, right? Although I haven't seen what the bandit looks like, I always feel that people like the eldest lady look down on bandits.

That's why I think that the ragged old woman is the eldest lady. The way she is dressed can only be because she escaped from the bandits' lair after being raped by them.

The most important thing is that the eldest lady is always in a bad mood when she wakes up. Usually, which servant in our house dares to go in and wake her up when she is sleeping?

And she was a slovenly old woman, who had been in there for most of the day and hadn't made any noise. I couldn't imagine who else could have entered the house when the young lady was sleeping and not been chased out by her, except for the eldest lady."

After listening to this, Lin Qing combined it with his own thoughts and came to a conclusion immediately.

That is, Lin Qingyao and Shen got lost on the way here, and Shen also encountered bandits on the way.

He must have been humiliated and finally escaped from Shen.

No matter what, Lin Qing still wanted to make a big deal out of this matter. She had to make Shen get out this time and never come back.

She had to think of a way to make this matter bigger. Now that all the dignitaries in Kyoto were gathered for the winter market, it was the best time.

But for some unknown reason, the Emperor unexpectedly ordered all the tents to be closed.

Lin Qing also had a headache for a moment. She knew very well whether she could make a big deal out of this matter and defeat the Shen family in one fell swoop.

So all Lin Qing can do now is to wait, and find Yingyue to ask what happened tonight after the blockade is unblocked.

Just when Lin Qing was still thinking about how to bring this matter to the table, Cui Xi suddenly asked.

"Miss, tell me, when the Madam encountered such a thing, why didn't the Miss make any move?

I saw that when the eldest lady came to us today, she didn't look sad at all, and seemed to be in a very good mood.

Do you think the young lady might not know about this yet?"

After hearing this, Lin Qing gave a disdainful smile.

"No matter whether Lin Qingyao knows about it or not, even if she doesn't know about it now, I will let her know sooner or later. Not only that, I will also let everyone in Kyoto know about it."

After hearing this, Cui Xi quickly shook her head and said anxiously.

"Miss! What are you doing? This is absolutely not allowed!

The Madam is the Madam of our Marquis' Mansion after all! If such a scandal is revealed, not to mention you and the eldest lady, even Young Master Yuan will not be able to discuss marriage!

Miss, you must not get angry. This matter cannot be rushed. If you do this, both you and your family will be destroyed!

I don't agree! Miss, you haven't even arranged a marriage yet. If this gets out, your reputation will be ruined!"

After listening to Cui Xi's words, Lin Qing finally calmed down a little.

That's right. Even if she disregarded her own reputation, Nan Mingyu was still in the Marquis' Mansion, and Lin Qingyuan had not yet discussed the matter, so she had not yet sorted out the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion.

Just as Cui Xi said, the time is not right yet.

But when Lin Qing thought about the cause of Nan Mingyu's death in his previous life, he couldn't swallow this anger.

Why was Nan Mingyu beaten to death immediately when something happened to her, and why did I have to help Shen conceal such a big incident?

Just because Shen is the principal wife, Nan Mingyu is the concubine?

This world is really unfair...

Thinking of this, Lin Qing had no intention of letting Shen go. She believed that the most urgent task at the moment was to find a way to secretly rescue those bandits.

In order to prevent this matter from reaching the ears of Shen and Lin Qingyao, they would inevitably kill people to silence them.

Since he couldn't make a big deal out of it in public right now, Lin Qing still had to take the lives of those bandits into his own hands before he could feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing became more and more anxious, hoping that the day would brighten soon.

She had to let Yingyue rescue the bandits first, and then she could go to the police and report that Shen was missing. Even if Shen showed up, she would insist that Shen had been missing for a few days.

These Kyoto noble ladies have always been talkative. Lin Qing only needs to release a smoke screen to arouse everyone's suspicion, and then someone with ulterior motives will go to investigate the Shen family.

Fortunately, Shen was not only arrogant and domineering in her daily life, but she also liked to show off how outstanding her daughter was in front of those noble ladies and the jewelry she bought every day.

Many noble ladies have long disliked the Shen family, but they have never had the opportunity to compete for her.

Then, Lin Qing would personally give them this opportunity. People who talk too much can be scary.

Since ancient times, rumors have been a bloodless knife that kills people. Those unfounded remarks are enough to kill any woman.

Lin Qing wanted to take advantage of this, erode Shen's power step by step, and finally defeat her in one fell swoop.
