Repay kindness with gratitude

  After her rebirth, Liu Qingluo couldn't help but think back on the entire incident. It sounded simple enough - someone had wanted to ruin her reputation - but it hadn't been easy to do.

  Murong Xue is just a spoiled young lady, she doesn't have the connections to find a group of bandits. Therefore, Madam must be involved in this matter.

  However, this alone is not enough to shake the status of the madam, let alone her years of managing the general's estate. Moreover, her identity will also make the old lady slightly lenient in handling matters.

  It was just this slight relaxation that allowed the big wife to escape.

  Murong Qing would not let them escape like this. It can be said that the reason she died in her previous life was first harmed by the third imperial concubine, but after all, it was still the ladies who designed to let her marry into the general's mansion. With her identity, the old lady would have found a suitable marriage for her.

  She is the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, and with the General's Mansion backing her up, no one dares to treat her poorly.

  But in the Third Prince's mansion, it was different. The women in the back courtyard were of noble status and not inferior to her. She wanted to live a comfortable life, but it wasn't easy.

  Murong Xue won't let it go, and Madame will even less likely to let it go.

  Moreover, she always felt that there was someone behind Mrs. Big, perhaps hiding some unknown secrets.

  "I'll figure it out." Murong Qing smiled coldly.

  Lu Jing and Hong Ye exchanged a glance, neither of them had expected that Murong Qing would think so far ahead. When did Miss develop such cunning, and how did it seem like there was something different about her?

  Murong Qing turned around and saw two maids staring with wide eyes, couldn't help but chuckle, "What's wrong?"

  Lu Jing felt embarrassed and scratched his head, "It's just that Miss seems to have changed somehow."

  "Do you think I've become more thoughtful?"

  Hongye smiled and said, "Miss, don't misunderstand. We didn't think you've become worse. You're still our miss no matter what you look like. Besides, instead of waiting here for others to harm us, it's better to take the initiative."

  Lu Xin also nodded continuously, "Yes yes yes, I think so too."

  "Alright, alright." Murong Qing smiled and waved his hand. He knew the temperament of the maid beside him, how could he not understand?

  Murong Qing lay back down again, staring blankly at the lush green grape leaves above his head.

  She was thinking, why Xiahou Yi could see her true intention and not take action against the madam. The group of bandits were thrown into the government office, but they only implicated Murong Xue without mentioning the madam at all, someone must have instructed them.

  Xiahou Yi was a rare kind of man, with meticulous thoughts and considerations, truly one of a kind.

  No matter what, Xiahou Yi's actions have helped her vent her feelings. She has never liked to take advantage of others and should think about how to repay him.

  What should be given as compensation?

  Murong Qing leaned his head and thought about the reward, while the Third Prince's mansion was windy and rainy, with no signs of stopping.

  "Speak!" The Third Prince, Xiahou Jie, slapped his palm on the table and glared at the several black-clad men standing before him. "How could the hiding place of the Imperial City's Dark Guards be so secretly destroyed?"

  A crowd of people in black clothes all lowered their heads, not daring to meet the gaze of the Third Prince Xiahou Jie.

  There must be a traitor beside him.

  Xiahou Jie's scrutinizing gaze swept across the black-clad men in the room, all of whom had followed him for many years. He really didn't want to believe that one of them was the problem.

  If not them, then who?

  "Can you find out who did it?" Xiahou Jie asked again.

  "It has not been confirmed yet, it could be the Ninth Prince or possibly the Crown Prince." One of the men in black answered cautiously.

  Xiahou Jie coldly snorted, "Is this the answer you give me?" Who didn't know that there were only two or three people who dared to oppose him?

  "Go and investigate, you have one day's time, if you can't find out, come back and see me."

  "Yes." A group of men in black answered, took a few steps back, and then turned around to leave.

  After they left, Xiahou Jie turned his head and asked, "Yunyang, in your opinion, who is behind this matter?"

  A man in his thirties emerged from behind the screen, with a pale complexion, long eyes, and a wispy mustache that gave him an otherworldly air.

  He walked slowly, fanning himself with his hand, "This matter is certainly not done by the Crown Prince."

  "Oh?" The third prince no longer had his previous fiery temper, but instead showed a look of interest. "Yunyang is indeed very clear."

  Yu Yang smiled and said, "Third Prince, have you forgotten the woman you took in previously?"

  "Her?" The Third Prince raised an eyebrow, "A beauty, what a pity."

  "At this time she was in the Crown Prince's palace, and it is said that she was quite favored by the Crown Prince." Yunyang finished speaking and stared at Xiahou Jie with a determined look in his eyes.

  "You're quite the master of words." Xiahou Jie laughed loudly.

  Yu Yang bowed his head, "Everything is for the great cause of the Third Prince."

  "Old nine!" Xiahou Jie suddenly narrowed his eyes, coldly snorting, "Underestimated his ability, thought he only had a thing for women, didn't expect that when provoked, he'd also jump up and bite."

  "The Ninth Prince was just a momentary anger, not enough to be relied upon. What we need to pay attention to now is the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince. Now that the Sixth Prince has entered the Ministry of Revenue, it's unlikely that he won't take action against our people."

  "What countermeasures does Nā Rù Yáng have?"

  "There are two plans." Yunyang leaned in close to the Ninth Prince and began to discuss them in detail.

  The third prince's mansion is stormy and rainy, while the ninth prince's mansion is full of spring charm.

  Upon receiving news that the Third Prince's Dark Guard headquarters had been uprooted, Zhu Ting and Ruan Ning immediately told Xia Houyi this good news.

  I thought the Ninth Prince would be delighted to hear this news, but he merely raised an eyebrow and then lowered his head to continue reading the secret report in front of him.

  Zhu Ting and Ruan Ning were shocked, how could the master not have any reaction to this matter, even if he had already known the result, but this time let the third prince lose so much, how could the master not react.

  The two exchanged a glance and tiptoed forward, using their eyes to scan the memorial presented in front of Xia Houyi.

  At the top of the report was a person's name, it was a woman's name.

  Murong Qing

  The two were extremely shocked. Xiahou Yi had many women, but he would never use a secret guard to deal with women's affairs, let alone have a secret guard record a woman's daily activities.

  Murong Qing, isn't she just a weak and delicate young lady from the General's Manor? How can she possibly possess such immense power?

  Xiahou Yi, however, paid no attention to their thoughts. Upon seeing the report that said Murong Qiang had no reaction to the hijacking incident, he couldn't help but curl his lip in disdain. The stupid girl didn't know what was good for her; after he had spoken ill of her, she still didn't think about retaliating.

  "Get ready, I'm going to General's Mansion." Xiahou Yi closed the memorial and coldly ordered.

  Stinky girl, he'd better teach her what it means to repay kindness. Although this kindness was something he forced on her himself.
