Mrs. Yan didn't react for a moment, and then she looked at Yan Shuang in disbelief and frowned involuntarily.
Although Mrs. Yan didn't know why Yan Shuang took action directly, as the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she beat the maid next to her in public in the hall. It doesn't matter if it makes the people in the house feel cold, I'm afraid it will also cause a huge loss of image.
Yan Shuang noticed her mother looking at her, and then she also noticed the strange looks coming from around her. She was suddenly at a loss, but still held on.
"My sister doesn't discipline the people around her properly, which makes my mother and sister laugh." Yan Shuang smiled awkwardly, but it made people look at her in a twisted way.
"If the discipline is not good enough, we can educate her more in private. Why should my sister take action in public?" Yan Ling frowned as if he didn't agree.
Although what Yan Ling said was exactly what Mrs. Yan was thinking, Mrs. Yan still felt that something was wrong, as if she had done it deliberately
Although she had such doubts, Mrs. Yan couldn't say anything after all, so she had to change the subject.
"According to what Shuang'er said before, what happened to Li Yi?" Mrs. Yan looked at Yan Shuang pretending not to know.
Yan Shuang returned to her seat, thinking that her chance to make a comeback had finally come. She quickly pretended to be hesitant and said, "Actually, I just heard what others said."
Yan Ling glanced at Li Yi next to him, his head lowered, looking at a loss. In addition to being distressed, I also felt a little helpless.
However, Yan Ling firmly believed that Li Yi would never do anything to harm him. If you think about it this way, it naturally doesn't matter.
"Sister, it's okay to say it. Sister believes that those who are clean will be clean themselves." Yan Ling looked upright and upright.
"Actually, last night someone saw the maid named 'Li Yi' next to my sister burning something in the bamboo forest in the middle of the night. In addition, the things outside the garden this morning led to such rumors." Shuang said innocently.
Yan Ling was startled and frowned involuntarily. She didn't expect that it was because of this. It seemed that Yan Shuang was so arrogant because she believed that she had something to say. However, even so, I'm afraid she will still be disappointed.
"Bold girl, what else do you have to say!" Mrs. Yan immediately scolded her sternly.
"I'm not a slave, I'm just a slave." Li Yi was so frightened that he suddenly knelt on the ground and spoke incoherently.
"Since you said you didn't have any, then tell me, what did you burn last night?" Yan Shuang said proudly, and raised an eyebrow at Yan Ling, who had his head lowered.
"It's some clothes." At this time, Li Yi seemed to have suddenly calmed down.
In fact, Li Yi suddenly understood that this matter was basically someone deliberately trying to frame his young lady. If you appear flustered at this time and others catch you, it may only be detrimental to your young lady.
Thinking like this, Li Yi forced himself to calm down.
"You still dare to lie! The clothes that are not worn in our house will be collected by special people and disposed of uniformly. Why do you need to burn them yourself?" Qing He was slapped, calmed down for a while, and then I couldn't help but start jumping up and down.
Yan Ling looked at the man who had no memory at all, gritted his teeth, and felt that Qinghe could not stay, and had to find an opportunity to drive him out of the house.
"This" Although Li Yi has calmed down, he also knows that those clothes cannot be known to outsiders, and he doesn't know how to reply for a moment.
"Is there something shameful about your clothes?" Qing He smiled coldly and continued to speak aggressively.
When Qinghe just spoke, he emphasized the word "you" specially. It seemed to be reminding others that the so-called "shameful person" did not only refer to Li Yi, but also included Yan Ling.
"What do you mean by this? Are you saying that one of us is shady?" Yan Ling narrowed his eyes and Qing He didn't dare to speak anymore.
"Mom, I actually ordered Li Yi to burn those clothes. They are personal items belonging to my daughter. They are really not convenient for others to see." Yan Ling turned his head and said calmly.
Yan Ling's statement was naturally reasonable. Even if the mother and daughter were sincere in asking for trouble, they couldn't forcefully argue in front of so many people.
But even so, the rumors about "the dead bug and the eldest lady refining poison" in the prime minister's house will not stop because of this.
Yan Ling was indeed not in a good mood after being troubled all morning by the affairs between Mrs. Yan and Yan Shuang.
In the afternoon, Yan Ling was lying alone at the window, looking at the sunset with some boredom, still thinking about what happened in the morning.
This time, it was indeed because of his own negligence that Yan Shuang took advantage of him. Although in the morning, for some reasons, they had no choice but to get themselves.
However, Yan Ling had a vague feeling that this matter would not end like this. The rumors that are getting stronger and stronger in the mansion are the best proof.
If Yan Ling guessed correctly, they would put "evidence" in their yard next.
However, rumors about himself are already flying all over the sky. If the defense in the yard is strengthened at this time, then there will be another opportunity in the eyes of interested people.
For a moment, even Yan Ling was hesitant and found himself in a dilemma.
"Miss, Nan Yan said he wanted to see you." Li Yi walked in and reported in a low voice.
"Nan Yan?" Yan Ling was a little surprised.
Yan Ling suddenly became curious. Nan Yan had been practicing in his room these days and hadn't seen anyone for several days. Now, how could he suddenly find himself
Li Yi was actually a little confused. After all, from the beginning to now, except for the lady's instructions, Nan Yan was as invisible as air, let alone coming to his door.
"Let him in." Yan Ling was confused, but he didn't think there was anything unusual.
Nan Yan came in with a cage in his hand. The cage was covered with a layer of black cloth, making it difficult to see what was inside. Seeing this formation, Yan Ling became even more curious.
"You came to me all of a sudden, what's the matter?" Yan Ling looked at Nan Yan who stood there silently after bowing silently. After a while, he couldn't help but said.
Nan Yan was a little stiff. He put the cage in his hand on the ground, then squatted down and slowly lifted up the layer of black cloth.
The two masters and servants in the room, following Nan Yan's movements, involuntarily stretched their necks and widened their eyes. It seemed that in this way, they could see what was in the cage earlier.
However, since it can be locked in a cage, it must be a living creature.
Sure enough, when Nan Yan completely removed the black cloth on the cage, the two people's thoughts were confirmed.
