After being reborn, I locked up all the scumbags and bitches in one nest.

Having shaken off the people following behind, Qin Wanyou and her companion arrived at Yulingfang in the west of the city.

Shuangling knocked on the door twice, and a slightly childish voice called out from inside, "Who is it?"

Shuangling responded, "Shuangling."

Soon, the sound of the bolt being pulled could be heard from inside, and then the door opened, revealing a small head. Upon seeing the person who had entered, the head immediately lit up with a smile, yet remained respectful, "Miss, Sister Shuang is here, please come in."

Upon entering, I discovered that Little Dog Egg had been cleaning the yard.

Little Dog Egg was rescued by Feng Ling from a beggar's den. His family had all died, his house had collapsed, and his left leg had been crippled. He was on the verge of death when Feng Ling found him and saved him.

After his injuries healed, he was put to guard the house. Later, Fengling taught him some basic knowledge and discovered that the little dog, Dan, was very clever and intelligent.

Suddenly hearing unfamiliar voices from next door, Qin Wanyou didn't pay much attention, assuming it was a customer who had asked Uncle Li to make tools.

After welcoming Qin Wanyou into the house, Little Dog Egg whispered a few words to her.

Qin Wanyou secretly asked Shuangling to call Fengling over.

A moment later, Feng Ling arrived in front of Qin Wanyou.

"Miss." Feng Ling bowed to Qin Wanyou.

Qin Wanyou casually picked up a book that Xiao Gou Dan was reading on the table and flipped through it. "I heard that Uncle Li's adopted son has arrived?"

Feng Ling replied, "Yes, Miss, Uncle Li has an adopted son named Ding Yi and an adopted daughter named Ding Hong. More than a year ago, Sister Ding Hong was kidnapped by the philanderer Wu Qing, who deceived her and tricked her, and she eventually died tragically in a brothel. For more than a year, Brother Ding has been searching for Wu Qing in various places to seek revenge. More than a month ago, he received news that Wu Qing had fled to Yandu City, so he rushed back. He passed by his home, returned home, and saw the clues left by Uncle Li, so he came to the blacksmith shop and found Uncle Li."

Wu Qing?

Qin Wanyou asked Feng Ling calmly, "Who are Uncle Li's adopted sons?"

Feng Ling shook her head. "I don't know the specifics. I only heard Uncle Li say that they are the son and daughter of his friend, who entrusted him to take care of them before he died. I have only met them once before."

At this moment, Lu Ling returned, followed by Uncle Li, his adopted son, and a woman with a blank expression and a very decisive demeanor.

Lu Ling entered first, greeted Qin Wanyou, and then stood to the side.

Li Bo, leaning on his cane, limped up to Qin Wanyou, cupped his hands in greeting, and then...

"Meet Miss!"

The man and woman behind them also bowed slightly to Qin Wanyou, following Li Bo's lead, without saying a word.

Qin Wanyou spoke calmly, "What brings you here, Uncle Li?"

Li Bo looked somewhat embarrassed, and after sighing, he said, "This matter originally had nothing to do with Miss, but because we are so eager for revenge, we have no choice but to trouble you. My adopted son, Ding Yi, has discovered that Wu Qing, the notorious thief who harmed my adopted daughter more than a year ago, is hiding in the Prime Minister's residence. However, we don't know whether he is hiding in the Left Prime Minister's residence or the Right Prime Minister's residence. Have you heard of him?"

Qin Wanyou glanced at them slightly, "I've heard of him and seen him; he is indeed in the Prime Minister's residence."

Both Uncle Li and Ding Yi were very excited and looked at Qin Wanyou, "Really?"

Then, Qin Wanyou changed the subject, "However, if you want revenge, I'm afraid it's too late."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yi stepped forward and questioned Qin Wanyou, "Does the Prime Minister's residence intend to protect this heinous lecher? If so, we have no choice but to become enemies with Miss."

The words had barely left his mouth when, 'swish, 'swish'...

Feng Ling and Lu Ling immediately drew their swords and stood in front of Qin Wanyou, staring at Ding Yi, while Shuang Ling was also ready to shoot out her silver needles at any time.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Uncle Li immediately called out to Ding Yi, "Ding Yi, step back."

Ding Yi turned to look at Uncle Li with a puzzled expression, "Godfather!"

“Step back. Listen to what Miss has to say. Miss is not that kind of person.” Uncle Li’s tone was firm.

Qin Wanyou gestured for Feng Ling and the others to put down their weapons, then looked indifferently at Uncle Li and the others, saying, "You're a few steps too late. Wu Qing is already dead."

Ding Yi and Uncle Li both widened their eyes in surprise, "Dead?"

Ding Yi was still somewhat skeptical. "How do I know if you're telling the truth? Miss wouldn't be lying to us to protect Wu Qing, would she?"

Qin Wanyou lowered her eyes disdainfully, "Then you'd better hurry up and go to the underworld to avenge your sister. If you're too late, Wu Qing might have already been reincarnated!"

Shuangling also spoke angrily, "Why would my young lady lie to you? Wu Qing tried to ambush and molest my young lady last month, and was strangled to death by her own hands."

After saying that, he glared fiercely at Ding Yi.

Uncle Li tapped Ding Yi with his cane, "Hurry up and apologize to Miss." Then he also bowed to Qin Wanyou and apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss, we were rude and shouldn't have doubted you."

Ding Yi realized he had offended someone and immediately bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, I've offended you."

The woman, who had remained silent until now, spoke up, "I wonder where you threw Wu Qing's body? I have no other intention than to whip his corpse again, so that he may not find peace even in death, in order to comfort the spirit of the woman he harmed in heaven."

Qin Wanyou glanced at the woman, her expression as cold as her own, and her words were utterly devastating: "Wheting the corpse is out of the question. I don't know which wolf bit his hand, which wolf gnawed on his head, or which beast swallowed his leg."

After hearing this, Lu Ling imagined the scene and felt nauseous. In the end, she couldn't help but run outside and vomit.

Everyone else present was also shocked.

They were shocked by Qin Wanyou's actions, and even more shocked that she could describe that cruel scene so calmly, as if it were a very ordinary thing.

However, the woman looked at Qin Wanyou with great admiration.

Meanwhile, at the Regent's Palace,

Mo Nan and Mo Xi were also shocked that Miss Qin had managed to get rid of Xiao Ba's protection again.

Mo Xi asked Murong Xiao, "Master, do you think the Second Miss discovered Xiao Ba's existence a long time ago?"

After reporting that he had lost Qin Wanyou again, Xiao Ba stood aside with his head down, feeling very ashamed. Last time, he had an excuse for losing her: he had discovered the wicked intentions of the young lady from the Marquis of Changping's mansion.

But this time, with no one else watching, he was left behind, and he would never be able to hold his head high in front of his brothers again!

woohoo~

Murong Xiao remained silent, thinking to himself that Qin Wanyou's indifferent and aloof demeanor really made her a little fox!

"She's no ordinary person. It's only a matter of time before she discovers you. Just keep an eye on her from a distance and keep an eye on the Right Prime Minister's residence for any unusual activity."

Xiao Ba still felt ashamed; they had found out far too early. However, she still obeyed Murong Xiao's orders, "Yes, Your Highness."

After Xiao Ba left, Murong Xiao asked Mo Nan, "Is there any movement from the Empress Dowager's side?"

Mo Nan thought for a moment, "Right now everyone is busy with the summer harvest. Because we 'lost' the silver sent by the Prince of Li, we are now working hard to harvest. Although there are some small tricks, trying to seize our grain fields, they have all been countered and stopped by our people."

After listening, Murong Xiao said, "We must ensure the food supply. After this season's harvest, we should have people plant more rice and corn, and raise more pigs and other poultry."

Mo Nan replied, "Yes, but my men sent a message by carrier pigeon that they discovered someone secretly collecting grain today, and they don't know who it is yet."
