Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

"Oh, those ungrateful people from the Lin family, last time I brought the matchmaker to their house, they beat me out, and I had to have a good meal at the master's house. Do you think I'm the only one who's resentful and resentful?"

The butler's voice was filled with resentment and gnashing of teeth. You know, ever since he was promoted to the position of butler, no one has ever treated him so badly. The Lin family dared to drive him out with a broom, which humiliated him. How could he not bear a grudge?

"You mean the master is involved?"

"Of course not. Otherwise, how do you think the people in the military settlement would think of poisoning the wine bought by Captain Wu and drugging the commander?"

"No way." The woman was obviously very surprised, "Was it the master's idea?"

"The master has done a lot of things like borrowing a knife to kill someone, otherwise how could the young lady learn all the skills?"

"..." The people outside the house frowned in displeasure, and looked at the princess with confusion in their eyes.

Lin Xiaoyue nodded to confirm the speculations of several people, and thought to herself that it was just as Captain Wu said, the conflict between herself and the military settlement was caused by the Mu family.

Compared to Lin Xiaoyue, who had the information revealed in advance by Wu Qianhu, she had an idea in mind so she was not too surprised to hear the relevant information.

However, some members of the reconnaissance team could not bear it any longer. They clenched their fists in anger, veins bulging, and they wanted to rush in and beat the two men up to make them have bad intentions towards the princess. These people were really bold.

Lin Xiaoyue raised her hand and fanned the air, signaling them to calm down.

Impulse is the devil, brothers.

"Master, have you given up on carrying the princess into the house?"

"Humph, she's just a woman. If the Marquis' Mansion in the Imperial City hadn't sent a message to them to first discredit the princess and then bring her in to give her a good beating, why do you think the master would go to such great lengths?"

"Why is there a dispute between the Princess and the Marquis' Mansion?"

"How should I know? I think women should be more obedient. If they show up in public all day, they might offend someone they shouldn't offend if they are not careful."

"Too……"

"Add to that the Nineteenth Concubine's involvement, and the Princess's grandmother's family's involvement, and the Princess won't be able to live in peace. Once her reputation is ruined, the Master will come up with a plan to bring her in, and the Master will have the final say on whether to make a move or not."

Nineteenth concubine? ?

Lin Xiaoyue couldn't figure out how she had made an enemy again, but when the other party mentioned Old Mrs. Lin, her thoughts changed and she equated that person with her aunt Lin Xiaolian.

"You said that the Nineteenth Concubine is also funny. Her own niece doesn't help, and she tries to hinder her. I don't know what she is thinking. Moreover, the old lady in her family listens to whatever she says. She is as obedient as a dog."

"How would I know? Maybe it's because of the deep love between mother and daughter, or maybe there's some secret..."

The noise in the room gradually died down, and was replaced by a round of sounds that were not suitable for children. Lin Xiaoyue no longer had the leisure to listen any further.

Knowing that Mrs. Lin would occasionally act up, and that her aunt had contributed to this, she became suspicious and thought of having someone keep an eye on her aunt to see what secrets she was hiding that made her go to such great lengths to stir up trouble.

She knew from the original owner's memory that her aunt had always been using the old lady and the first and second wives to cause trouble for the third wife over the years. If it was just because of the quarrel between the siblings, she wouldn't be so happy. There must be something hidden from everyone... At least, it was hidden from the third wife, something that Old Man Lin didn't know.

Lin Xiaoyue was lost in thought as she walked through the garden, bypassing the yellowing flowers and plants and the towering rockery, and followed Liu'er and others into the study of the Mu Mansion.

After a slight "creak" sound, the study door was closed, and Lin Xiaoyue came back to her senses.

"Princess, this is the study room of the Mu Mansion."

"Okay, everyone, spread out and look for any letters or notes."

Lin Xiaoyue wants to take over the Mu family. It's not that she can't assassinate them, but a quick death would be too easy for those who are hiding behind her and plotting against her.

What she wanted was to kick the Mu family down from the clouds into the mud, so that they and the relatives of the four thousand households would be on the border line, living in fear and suffering every day. Otherwise, how could she make up for the sufferings suffered by the people in Linjiazhuang?

No one could understand the pain in her heart when she saw the Lin family members being whipped by soldiers; no one understood the pain in her heart when she saw Xiao Si, Xiao Wu and Lin Zhaodi having their faces swollen and their bodies covered with bruises.

When Miao was whipped, her teeth bled from the pain; Grandpa Lin had to endure the severe pain of having his hand broken at an old age; the shocking gash on the head of the hunter Lin Quanshui was such a serious injury that it would not be possible to save him even in modern times, let alone in ancient times when medical resources were scarce...

Everyone suffered so much, and she had to grit her teeth and accept it when she had no ability. If she had the ability, she would not retaliate and let Master Mu, who was stirring up trouble behind the scenes, taste the consequences of provoking someone he shouldn't have. She would have lived in vain.

As for Marquis Pingyang, there is no need to rush. Just wait for her. She has recorded every account.

Inside the study, everyone searched carefully around the room in the moonlight that came in through the half-open window.

Several people were carefully searching in the study. One of the scouts found a secret compartment in the drawer under the desk. He took out the books piled in front, reached in and fumbled around, and found a tiny groove. He pressed his thumb on it, but before he could react, the panel inside popped out, revealing a stack of carefully hidden letters at the back.

"Princess, we have discovered something here." The scout took out the letter and hurriedly handed it to Lin Xiaoyue, who was searching behind the calligraphy and paintings on the wall to see if there was any hidden mechanism.

Lin Xiaoyue took them and couldn't wait to open a few of them. She read the contents of the letters in the moonlight. They were all letters exchanged with the Pingyang Marquis Mansion in the Imperial City.

The person who wrote the letter was Mu Mengqian, a concubine in the backyard of Marquis Pingyang.

The letter urged Master Mu to find a way to ruin the reputation of Princess Le'an and bring her disgrace. It would be best if he could find a few beggars to completely destroy her innocence and vent Ruan Shushu's anger. In this way, she could not only sell good things to Marquis Pingyang, but also improve her status if things went well, and even become a co-wife. By then, his brother-in-law would also be able to rise in status and make a good impression in Marquis Pingyang. If things went well, it would not be difficult to find him a position...

It turned out that a girl from the Mu family was involved behind this.

Lin Xiaoyue was also drunk. How could she give people the illusion that she was easy to manipulate? Even a concubine who had never met her and was trapped in the backyard and only knew how to be jealous wanted to come up and step on her.

Okay, put all of them on Marquis Pingyang's account. When I have time, hehe, Marquis Pingyang will see if you can withstand my wrath.
