For a moment, Madam Yan could not react. Then, she looked at Yan Shuang in disbelief, and could not help but frown.

Although Madam Yan didn't know why Yan Shuang had acted so directly, as the direct daughter of the Prime Minister, she had beaten the maid beside her in front of everyone in the hall. It was one thing to make the people at home feel cold, but it was also quite likely that they would lose their image.

Yan Shuang noticed that her mother was looking at her, and then she noticed the strange looks coming from her surroundings. She was at a loss, but she forced herself to continue.

"Younger sister shouldn't discipline the people around her. I've let mother and elder sister down." Yan Shuang gave him an awkward smile, but it caused him to twist no matter how he looked at it.

"If you're not good at teaching, then just educate her in private. Why would I want to help her in public?" Yan Ling frowned in disagreement.

Although what Yan Ling said was what Madam Yan was thinking, she still felt that something was amiss. It seemed that he had done it on purpose?

Although she had her doubts, it was not good for her to say anything, so she could only change the topic.

"According to what Shuang'er said before, what exactly is going on with Li Yi?" Madam Yan pretended not to know anything as she looked at Yan Shuang.

Yan Shuang returned to her seat. She thought that her chance to turn the tables had finally come. She pretended to be hesitant and said, "Actually, I just heard it from someone …"

Yan Ling looked at Li Yi beside him. He lowered his head with a helpless look on his face. In addition to the heartache, there was also a sense of helplessness.

However, no matter what, he still believed that Li Yi would never do anything that would harm him. Now that he thought about it this way, he naturally didn't care.

"Sis, feel free to say it. Big Sister believes that those who know will be able to do so." Yan Ling had a righteous look on his face.

"Actually, last night someone saw the maid named 'Li Yi' beside elder sister who was burning something in the bamboo forest in the middle of the night. "Plus the things outside the garden this morning, that's how the rumors started." Yan Shuang said innocently.

Yan Lingling was startled and frowned involuntarily. She did not expect it to be because of this matter. It seemed that Yan Shuang was acting so arrogantly because she believed that it was difficult for her to say anything. However, even if this was the case, he was afraid that he would still disappoint her.

"Insolent girl, what else do you have to say?" Madam Yan immediately reprimanded him.

"This servant doesn't have one, this servant is just …" Li Yi was so scared that her entire body trembled. She instantly kneeled on the ground and spoke incoherently.

"Since you said you didn't have it, then tell me, what did you burn last night?" Yan Shuang said proudly as she raised her eyebrows to look at Yan Ling, who had his head lowered.

"Yes …" Some clothes. " At this moment, Li Yi seemed to have calmed down.

Actually, Li Yi had suddenly realized that this matter was basically someone deliberately trying to frame his own Young Miss. If he were to become flustered at this moment and be caught off guard, it would only be detrimental to his young mistress.

Thinking of this, Li Yi forced herself to calm down.

"You still dare to lie! If you don't wear any clothes in our house, someone will take them away and take care of them all. Why do you need to burn them yourself? " After Qing He was slapped for a while, she couldn't help but jump up and down again.

Yan Ling looked at the person who did not seem to remember anything and gritted his teeth. He felt that he could not let Qing He go. He had to find a chance to kick him out of the mansion.

"This …" Although Li Yi had already calmed down, she knew that those clothes could not be found out by outsiders. For a moment, she did not know how to reply.

"Could it be that there is something shameful about your clothes?" Qing He coldly smiled and continued to speak in an overbearing manner.

When Qing He had just spoken, she had deliberately emphasized the words "all of you". It seemed to be a reminder to others that this so-called "shameful" did not only refer to Li — alone — but also included words and words.

"What do you mean by that? Are you saying that we're shameful?" Yan Ling narrowed his eyes, looking at Qing He, causing her to not dare to say anything else.

"Mother, actually, I ordered Li Yi to burn those clothes. They are all personal belongings of a girl, so it's not convenient for others to see them." Yan Ling turned his head and said lightly.

What Yan Ling had said made sense. Even if this mother and daughter pair were sincere in seeking trouble, they could not force themselves to argue in front of so many people.

But... Even so, the rumors about the 'dead insects and the young miss refining poison' within the Prime Minister's Estate did not stop just because of this.

Having been tossed about by Madam Yan and Yan Shuang for the entire morning, Yan Ling was indeed not in a good mood.

In the afternoon, Yan Ling was lying by the window, looking at the sunset with a bored expression on his face. He was still thinking about what had happened in the morning.

This time, it was indeed due to a moment of carelessness that Yan Shuang found an opportunity. Even though they couldn't do anything in the morning due to some reasons.

However, Yan Ling had a premonition that this matter wouldn't end just like that. In the manor, the rumors spread like wildfire were the best proof.

If Yan Ling did not guess wrongly, they were going to place 'evidence' in his own courtyard.

However, rumors about him had already spread like wildfire. If the defense in the yard was strengthened at this moment, then it would be another opportunity for the people who wanted to see it.

For a moment, even Yan Ling could not make up his mind as he fell into a dilemma.

"Miss, Nan Yan said he wants to see you." Once Li Jun walked in, she reported in a low voice.

"Nan Yan?" Yan Ling found it strange.

Yan Ling was suddenly a bit curious. Nan Yan had been training in his room for the past few days and hadn't seen anyone for quite some time. Now, why would he suddenly find me?

In truth, Li Yi was also somewhat suspicious. After all, from the start till now, besides the orders from the little miss, Nan Yan was an existence like the air. Not to mention taking the initiative to come to their door.

"Let him in." Although Yan Ling was puzzled, he didn't feel anything was amiss.

Nan Yan came in with a cage in his hand. The cage was covered with a layer of black cloth, making it hard to see what was inside. Seeing this, Yan Ling became even more curious.

"Why did you suddenly come to find me?" Yan Ling looked at Nan Yan who stood there silently after saluting silently. After a while, he could not help but speak.

Nanyan was a bit stiff. She placed the cage in her hands on the ground, and then she crouched down and slowly lifted up that layer of black cloth.

As Nan Yan moved, the master and servant pair in the room involuntarily stretched out their necks and widened their eyes. It was as if this way, they could quickly see what was inside the cage.

However, since it could be kept in a cage, it should be a living creature.

Sure enough, when Nan Yan completely removed the black cloth from the cage, their thoughts were verified.
