"My good granddaughter, don't cry anymore. Grandmother's heart hurts when she sees this." The Matriarch gently helped Bing Lanyue up, his eyes also red. Then, he said while choking: "You are a sensible child, unlike those who were born lowly, who look at everything with shallow eyes and want to swallow it down."

These words were obviously referring to the Concubine Lin, but the kneeling Concubine Lin did not dare refute, as her eyes had already turned red. Yet, Bing Enshan did not have any intentions of helping her at this time, and felt even more wronged.

"Grandmother, don't be angry. I'll immediately bring back all the dowry jewelry that I gave concubine for safekeeping. I won't dare to lend them out again." Bing Lanyue looked innocent as she winked at her grandmother.

"Good, good, good. You're already sixteen, so it's time for you to learn how to manage your own things. After this period of time, when you're seventeen, I'll get someone to help you settle the score with the butler!" Seeing the brightness in Bing Lanyue's eyes, Matriarch immediately knew that had set his up, and secretly rejoiced in her heart.

"This!" When Concubine Lin heard that Bing Lanyue wanted to take away the dowry, hatred filled her heart and she immediately blurted out one word. However, when both Bing Enshan and Matriarch looked at him at the same time, she immediately cut off her voice and did not dare to say another word.

Returning to the small courtyard, Bing Lanyue stretched her waist. Doing things like a play was truly the most wasteful thing.

"Miss, you're really amazing!" Qing Qiu held a small notebook that Chun Er left behind in her hand. Inside it was the dowry list that his wife's personal maid had left behind, and she looked at Bing Lanyue with a face full of worship.

"Don't be so busy worshipping me. Hurry up and prepare. We're almost ready to eat!" Bing Lanyue gave a strange smile to Qing Qiu as their gazes collided, revealing a bright and pure expression.

Usually, after the master had eaten his dinner, it would be time for the maidservants to eat. Everyone would gather their meals in the small kitchen according to the size of the people in the courtyard. Some of the leftovers were from the master's leftovers.

Because the Concubine Lin's small kitchen was burnt, all the servants and wives were assigned to eat with the servants in the other courtyards. Ru Zui was assigned to the main house's kitchen, which was just back after finishing her meal.

"Sister Ru Zui!" Qing Qiu lightly called out to Ru Zui who was currently walking with her head lowered, then pulled her hand towards the fake mountain.

Facing the sudden appearance of a clear autumn, Ru Zui said with a shocked expression: "Why are you here!"

"What did Sister Ru Zui say? I came here to thank you!" A smile was on Qing Qiu's face, only to see Ru Zui retreating step by step, as if she had seen a ghost.

"Don't come over, you're trying to frame me!" Ru Zui was not an idiot. Seeing Qing Qiu appear at this moment, he immediately retreated in alarm.

Qing Qiu smiled slightly, then said, "Since Big Sister Ru Zui thinks so, then you can leave. I have nothing else to say!"

With that, Qing Qiu rushed out with a face full of smiles. When Qing Qiu left, Ru Zui practically cautiously stuck her head out, thinking that it would be bad if someone saw him.

How would she know that the reason Qingqiu came to find her this time was entirely at Bing Lanyue's behest? Qing Qiu walked over and intentionally found a place with many people. Along the way, she greeted others very politely. After that, when everyone curiously asked where she was going, she said that she had recently fallen into the water and was sick, so she only came out these few days.

would definitely come over and take a look at Qing Qiu. At this time, no matter if it was Qing Qiu pulling Ru Zui along, talking to him, or walking in front and behind Ru Zui, Ru Xin would catch a little bit of attention from her. What happened afterwards …

"Madam, as you expected, Ru Zui really let Qing Qiu go. Qing Qiu told the two servants who usually walked in the same direction that she did not appear for the past few days because she fell into the water and caught a cold, thus confirming the fact that someone fell into the water that day." When Ru Xin saw Ru Zui rushing out from behind the fake mountain in a panic, she told her about it. Seeing Concubine Lin's complexion turn darker, she felt joy in her heart.

"Go, give me Ru Zui's room, search through it carefully, inside and out, to see if there is anything unclean!" Concubine Lin clenched her fists. She never thought that she would be so strict. Other than a traitor, there was only hatred in her heart!

After receiving the Concubine Lin's instructions, Ru Xin immediately took action. At this time, Ru Zui coincidentally happened to meet Ru Xin walking past him, heading towards her own room. Her heart thumped as she understood what was going on and turned to run towards Bing Lanyue's courtyard.

She knew that she must have been misunderstood by the Concubine Lin. If the Concubine Lin found any evidence, she would definitely not be spared.

"Eldest Miss, I beg you, please save me!" Ru Zui did not care about the little girl's obstruction, directly rushing into Bing Lanyue's room, with a thump, he knelt down and kowtowed three times, scaring Bing Lanyue, who was drinking ginseng soup, out of her wits.

"Little girl, how can you be so stupid as to offend the young miss!" When Qing Qiu saw that it was Ru Zui, she immediately scolded with a cold face and called for the servant outside.

As Bing Lanyue held onto her chest, she called out to Qing Qiu, "Lift her up first, don't scare me!"

Seeing that Bing Lanyue was not angry, the two maidservants pulled Ru Zui away immediately to help her up.

Qing Qiu helped Bing Lanyue wipe his hands, then left with the water. The only two people left in the room were the two of them. Clear Autumn once again kneeled on the ground and said, "Miss, I know this is all within your expectations, I'm begging you, Miss, to spare my life!"

"You tortured my maid so badly, how do you think I should let you off?" Bing Lanyue had a calm expression at the moment, making it hard to tell what she was thinking.

Ru Zui immediately kowtowed three times, with tears on her face she said: "Miss is clear, us servants are master's dogs, if you are loyal, you can get a piece of bone to eat. If you are not loyal, you will be beaten to death, and I will treat your Qing Qiu girl as my servant, just to leave a path of life, I beg you, please let me go!"

Bing Lanyue's expression was still as indifferent as ever, she only twitched her eyebrows and said, "That's why I said that in order to take revenge for my loyal dog, I should have killed you!"

How can a man describe himself as a dog? People are people, Bing Lanyue did not want to kill Ru Zui at all, nor did she want to kill anyone.

Ru Zui shook his head, her expression was one of sorrow, and even disappointment could be seen in her eyes. Looking at Bing Lanyue's calm face, his head was blank.

Bing Lanyue thought back to the first sentence that was written in the books on psychology. If you want someone to be loyal to you, they would either have to form a heart with you, or have to fear you.

She first pushed Ru Zui into a dead end, then gave him a rope to give her hope!

"I don't accept dogs, but I do accept people. I accept a loyal friend. Do you want to join?" Bing Lanyue suddenly smiled and stretched out her hand to look at Ru Zui.

Ru Zui had already fallen to the bottom of the canyon and was certain that she would die when she suddenly heard Bing Lanyue say such words. She felt like she was in a dream, and couldn't recover for a long time.

"Hurry and get up, Ru Xin has probably found the jade beans I gave you, if she catches you with me, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape death, I'll tell you this." Bing Lanyue whispered a few words in Ru Zui's ear, then looked at Ru Zui's face which had slowly recovered its color. A faint smile rose from the corner of her mouth.

"In the future, Ru Zui will definitely repay the kindness of saving our lives!" Ru Zui kowtowed to Bing Lanyue a few more times, then left in a hurry.

Bing Lanyue saw Qing Qiu walk in with a displeased expression on her face. Then, she asked, "What's wrong?"

"Miss, why didn't you help me kill this girl!" Qing Qiu had only said those angry words, but seeing Ru Zui leave happily, her heart was still unbalanced.

Bing Lanyue pulled Qing Qiu down to a seat and said, "Ru Zui is only a errand boy. The person who really hurt you was the Concubine Lin, and if I want to settle the score, I should find the right person to do it.

"Miss, what do you mean?" Qing Qiu blinked her eyes. Seeing Bing Lanyue's kind smile, she immediately thought that Bing Lanyue wanted him to come to her side.

Seeing that pitiful look on Qing Qiu's face, Bing Lanyue couldn't help but laugh. "What? Do you allow me to have a trusted aide like you? "

"It's not like that! Of course not! " Qing Qiu immediately shook her head, she only felt that Ru Zui was not a simple girl.

Seeing Qing Qiu's distressed and anxious expression, Bing Lanyue once again burst out laughing. "Silly girl, I'm just teasing you!"

"Miss, you're so bad!" Seeing Bing Lanyue's expression, Qing Qiu immediately stomped her feet and ran out, but she was very happy in her heart.

Ru Xin had found the Jade Beans in Ru Zui's room, and immediately showed it to Concubine Lin. She had truly angered the Concubine Lin, and just as she was preparing to immediately call for Ru Zui, Ru Zui appeared.

"Tell me where this came from." Concubine Lin was thrown onto the body of Ru Zui who was kneeling in front of her, looking at her with a face full of anger.

At this time, Ru Zui's face was calm, she did not seem panicked at all. She then opened the box, and inside was the jade bean: "Reporting to Madam, this jade bean was bought by my servant outside your house."
