"To return to my mother, Ling'er has just heard Li Yi talk about this matter." Yan Ling Yingying bowed with a calm expression.
"Oh? Really? Then I want to hear, what do you think about this matter?" Mrs. Yan's face was very ugly. She didn't take into account the presence of others. She just slapped the table, and her feeling of being the matron of the house was revealed. .
"According to Ling'er's opinion, this is clearly a rumor deliberately created by someone. It is simply nonsense to disturb people's hearts." Yan Ling said calmly, lowering his head and making his expression unclear.
"But it's groundless, sister. This statement has been spread, so there must be a reason." Yan Shuang blinked and looked innocent.
"Then according to what my sister said, I am the kind of terrible person who practices poison in a systematic way?" Yan Ling turned his head and looked at Yan Shuang.
There is nothing wrong with this statement. However, after all, I still remember the sentence "Hateful hatred is not as good as water, and it is easy to make waves". Since there are rumors, someone must be spreading them.
Yan Shuang didn't expect that Yan Ling would still look so calm when encountering such a thing. This was the first time she faced it. It seemed that Yan Ling was no longer the timid and fearful girl she had been before.
However, a sneer curled up at the corner of Yan Shuang's lips, but Yan Ling hid the secret herself and was caught by her, but she couldn't blame her. She didn't believe that Yan Ling dared to tell the secret.
"It's not the case this time. My sister just thinks that since everyone else is saying it, it has a certain degree of credibility." Yan Shuang bit her lip and shook her head in a panic, looking like she was hesitating to speak. It's pitiable.
Yan Ling curled his lips with slight disdain. In his last life, he was deceived by her "simple" appearance. Could it be that I will be fooled again in this life
Just as Yan Ling was about to say something, Mrs. Yan interrupted: "Ling'er, why are you still quibbling? What's wrong with what Shuang'er said? I think it's better for you to admit it yourself."
A sneer curled up at the corner of Yan Ling's lips. Why couldn't he see such an obvious attitude in the first place
It was just a few rumors circulating in the house. As a mother, she never thought of finding out the truth for herself and clearing her name. Instead, she kept asking herself to plead guilty as soon as possible.
Or, which mother can be so "righteous and upright"
Yan Ling did not reveal his emotions, but raised his head, looked at Mrs. Yan aggrievedly, and said word by word: "Does what others say must be true? If someone now says that he is actually making poison My sister is the one who made the poison, will my mother believe it?"
Mrs. Yan said subconsciously: "Shuang'er, how could Shuang'er do such a thing?"
"We are both our mother's daughters. Does my mother think that I can do it because my sister can't do it? Does my mother think that I am not my mother's daughter?"
Yan Ling's eyes turned red and he looked pitiful. Even Li Yi, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but wipe his eyes with red eyes.
Mrs. Yan was shocked, knowing that she had just said something she shouldn't have said inadvertently. Although Yan Ling is indeed not his biological daughter, this secret cannot be exposed yet.
Mrs. Yan quickly thought in her heart about how to deal with the situation in front of her. Previously, the promise to Yan Shuang could only be put aside for the time being. The most important thing now is how to make Yan Ling avoid suspicion.
There was silence for a moment. Yan Ling quietly took a look at the expressions on the faces of Mrs. Yan and Yan Shuang, and knew that he had not made a mistake. They are afraid that this matter will be exposed, and if they say so, it will disturb their minds.
"Ling'er, what are you talking about? You were all born to your mother after ten months of pregnancy." Mrs. Yan said hypocritically, the expression on her face softened a bit.
"Mother was too anxious just now. If this matter spreads, it will affect your reputation and make the entire Prime Minister's Mansion a topic of conversation before and after meals. Mother has to be anxious." Mrs. Yan pretended to be deeply in love. , sighing with responsibility.
"Of course Ling'er knows what mother is thinking, but even if it was indeed Ling'er who did this, we need proof, right?" Yan Ling also wiped the corners of his eyes, looking very aggrieved.
Yan Shuang was gritting her teeth now. She didn't expect that she would join forces with her mother to attack Yan Ling. As a result, things had reached this point and were reversed by Yan Ling.
But then, an almost cold smile appeared on the corner of Yan Shuang's mouth. Don't you want evidence? The evidence can be produced another day, but the clues are different.
What's more, this clue was provided by themselves. If they don't admit their fault, they'll have a greater chance of making others think they have a guilty conscience.
Yan Shuang thought and looked around. When Yan Shuang came here today, he brought many people with him just to let everyone see this scene clearly.
"Actually, my sister thinks that the spread of this statement may have something to do with a person close to my sister." Yan Shuang coughed twice, then looked at Yan Ling.
"Who?" Yan Ling frowned. No wonder Yan Shuang dared to come to the door so blatantly this time. It turned out that he had a trick up his sleeve.
Following Yan Ling's question, Yan Shuang turned his attention to Li Yi who was standing aside.
"Me? Miss, I didn't. I didn't say anything."
Li Yi was already panicked by what happened today, but now the fire was burning on him again. It would be fine if it was just about Li Yi, but if this crime was decided, Yan Ling would definitely be implicated as well, and Li Yi had to be nervous.
"Bold girl, when the master speaks, it's your turn to interrupt." Qing He had already noticed that Li Yi was uncomfortable. When he heard this, he quickly stepped forward, planning to slap Li Yi on the face.
However, what she didn't expect was that someone was faster than him. When the slap fell, Yan Ling had already firmly grasped Qinghe's wrist, and while she was still stunned, he swung her to the side.
"What you said is indeed true, but I don't know, Qinghe, when did you become the master! Do you dare to attack the girl next to me?" Yan Ling said in a cold tone.
In the last life, I was too weak. Not only did I end up like that, but I also let the people around me who were kind to me get bullied. In this new life, no matter who he is, he can't hurt the person he wants to protect. What's more, it's in front of him.
"You! You're just the same." Qinghe didn't remember the last lesson at all. After being scolded by Yan Ling, he couldn't control his mouth and wanted to reveal Yan Ling's identity.
Suddenly, a "pop" sound came from the room, and Qing He had been slapped hard by Yan Shuang and fell to the ground.
Yan Shuang was anxious and angry, and her face turned pale. The reason why Qinghe knew this secret was because he told her inadvertently. According to mother's instructions, this is not something that can be told to others.
