The two of them stared at her, as if they could get the answer from her face.

Now it was Lin Zhihe's turn to feel guilty.

She looked away and continued to eat the jujube paste and pine nut cake in her mouth, and did not forget to comment, "This is delicious, you guys should have a few pieces too."

A man's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Is Ms. Lin here?" he asked cautiously but angrily.

Lin Zhihe looked at Xiao Taohong and asked, "Is your friend here again?"

Xiao Taohong also had a confused look on her face and hurried outside.

After a while, she ran back excitedly, "Master, the second lady is here to see you!"

Second Miss, who is the Second Miss?

Seeing Lin Zhihe's puzzled expression, Xiao Taohong said as if she had just remembered something, "Yes, Master, you have lost your memory, so you must not remember the Second Young Lady."

"So who is the second young lady?" Lin Zhihe was very anxious.

The man was standing outside her door, and she didn't get any useful clues. This was not the way to play the game.

"The second lady is your elder sister Lin Zhiqiang, also Princess Cheng." Liu Li interrupted at the right time, tilting her head to gauge Lin Zhihe's reaction.

The original owner had a second sister, which meant she also had an older sister!

Oh, I vaguely remember Xiao Taohong mentioned it.

But why did she come here suddenly? And her second sister is Princess Cheng? Then the King Cheng is her brother-in-law?

When Lin Zhihe saw the original owner's sister, he was very nervous and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

After a while of chatting, I didn't know anything and everything was exposed.

She was nervous, and Xiao Taohong seemed even more nervous than her. She felt like a thorn in her back, and her hands and feet seemed to be tied up by someone, which was very unnatural.

Before I had time to think about it, the person had already walked into the inner courtyard.

What came into view was a middle-aged man who was not dressed like a eunuch.

The eunuchs in the palace ranged from cleaning servants to writing eunuchs, from the lowest to the highest level. Although the materials and workmanship of their clothes varied, the styles were fixed, and one could tell their rank at a glance.

The person in front of him was wearing a moon-white brocade Taoist robe, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not a servant in the palace.

My second sister is different. Even her close servants are dressed so luxuriously.

The man bowed to Lin Zhihe, with a warm smile on his face, and looked at Lin Zhihe, "Miss Third, Miss Second is here to see you."

The woman in front of him was wearing casual clothes and looked very plain, even not as good as the servant next to her.

But the two gold hairpins inlaid with gems on her head, one on the left and one on the right, were enough to prove that her identity was not simple.

Before she could prepare herself mentally, her second sister spoke: "I am accompanying King Cheng to the palace today to pay my respects to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. With the Queen Mother's permission, I am here in the Vermillion Bird Palace to talk with you about our sisterly love."

The second sister's servants call her "Third Miss" and the second sister "Second Miss". Can we infer that they usually address each other according to their previous relationship in the Lin Mansion?

"Second sister," Lin Zhihe called out tentatively.

The second sister's face looked normal, with a faint smile on her face all the time.

It seems that the name is correct.

"What has He'er been busy with recently?" The second sister looked at her tenderly, with affection in her eyes.

"I...didn't do anything."

The second sister smiled even more, stood up, looked around Lin Zhihe, and repeated, "Oh, I didn't do anything." Her voice was also soft and gentle.

The calmer it was, the more abnormal it seemed. Lin Zhihe's hairs stood up on his back and layers of cold sweat ran down his face.

Did she see through it?

It's impossible. Who would believe in time travel? Besides, she just called out "Second Sister" and didn't do anything else.

The second sister walked around and finally stopped in front of Xiao Taohong. Her voice was still gentle, "Xiao Taohong, what have you been doing recently?"

This was a very ordinary sentence, but when Xiao Taohong heard it, she actually knelt down, and her knees hit the floor with a bang.

She never let Taohong and Liu Li perform such a big ceremony. Every time when the two of them were about to perform a ceremony, she would wave her hand to refuse them.

What's going on? Why is the second sister so strict with her servants? But looking at her servants, they don't seem to be strict.

Xiao Taohong not only knelt down, she didn't even dare to raise her face, her eyes were almost staring a hole in the floor.

She often saw this kind of "guilty" expression on her cat's face, but she never expected to see it on a human.

After all, ordinary people wouldn't confess so quickly.

Lin Zhihe used her body to block Xiao Taohong, and urgently forced a smile, putting on her best appearance, "Second sister, what's wrong with Xiao Taohong?"

The second sister chuckled, then lowered her eyes and said, "Ask her!"

Little Taohong was shaking like a sieve, just like a kitten who had done something bad and was afraid to look at his owner.

"Second sister, don't scare her." The cat's owner couldn't stand it anymore.

"Chun Ping, the maid who served the Empress, wanted to find a eunuch to be her concubine. Concubine is such a shameful thing that everyone wants to stay away from it. But ask Xiao Taohong, what did she do?"

Lin Zhihe turned around and asked Xiao Taohong: "What did you do?"

Of course Xiao Taohong didn't have the courage to say anything. She became even more frightened and trembled even more violently.

"Hmph!" The second sister snorted coldly, the smile on her face disappeared, replaced by a serious look.

"Your good maidservant has gone crazy, looking for a eunuch for Aunt Chunping."

"Not only that, they also listed the heights, physical appearances and other conditions of these eunuchs and ranked them into A, B and C grades."

Is this a talent show?

Eunuch 101?

Lin Zhihe looked at Xiao Taohong in disbelief, what a promising young talent the Great Xia Dynasty is!

No wonder those eunuchs have been so respectful to me these days and have been coming to the Vermillion Bird Palace to find Xiao Taohong.

"Dividing them into grades A and B won't make it easier for Aunt Chunping to choose!" Lin Zhihe felt a little reluctant, but he had to support Xiao Taohong.

Lin Zhiqiang was a little angry, her face slightly reddened, "The maid sent to the palace by the Lin family is looking for a partner for the palace maid! The Lin family has never been so embarrassed in several lifetimes!"

"The harem is in chaos now! All because of you, a poor maid!"

Lin Zhiqiang slammed the table with her big hand, and even Lin Zhihe shuddered subconsciously.

The eunuch blocked the debut spot? So he complained to the organizer, the Lin Mansion?

She found this matter a bit absurd. It was actually done by Xiao Taohong.

This kind of sneaky thing was "promoted" by Xiao Taohong, and now the whole thing is in chaos.

It even reached my second sister's ears.

I was the last one to know!

Looking at the angry Lin Zhiqiang and the trembling Xiao Taohong, Lin Zhihe seemed to be thinking about something.

"Xiao Taohong, you can't do these jobs with your IQ."

"Master..." Xiao Taohong raised her eyes to look at Lin Zhihe, then glanced at Liu Li.

Liu Li also knelt down calmly and kowtowed.

She knew it!

Liu Li must have helped in this, otherwise it wouldn't have become known to everyone.

"It was I who instigated Xiao Taohong to help Aunt Chunping find a eunuch." Liu Li's voice was cold, without the slightest fear.

"You can't blame Liu Li entirely. I want to know the answer myself."

"What do you want to know?" Lin Zhihe was very curious.

"I want to know who Aunt Chunping will choose in the end."
