Ling Long’s temperament was cold, and the moonlight at this time had coated him with a thin layer of silver, making his whole person even more cold and alienated.

Yin Yin felt that Ling Long was like a good ancient jade, which could only be viewed from a distance and could not be played with.

Du Qianqian stood on the spot with a pale face. Yin Yin looked at Ling Long with some issue in her heart and asked, “Is there anything else, Young Master Lin?”

Ling Long did not answer but asked Du Qianqian, “Miss Du, are you okay?”

Du Qianqian returned to her senses and replied with a trembling voice, “I’m okay.”

Yin Yin patted Du Qianqian on the shoulder and said, “Qianqian’s acting is really good. Clearly, it doesn’t hurt, but you can still cry so heartbreakingly.”

Du Qianqian was stunned. She did not feel any sharp pain just now, but she acted as originally planned.

She looked at Yin Yin in front of her, almost biting her lip into bleeding. “It’s already late. This maidservant will retire first.”

Yin Yin nodded, and afterwards only she and Ling Long were left inside. Yin Yin felt even more hopeless.

She looked at Ling Long and forced a smile, “Is Young Master Lin not leaving yet?”

Ling Long looked at the dagger in Yin Yin’s hand and said softly, “What an interesting thing.”

“If Young Master Lin likes it, I will give it to you!” Yin Yin is very generous.

Ling Long took the dagger in Yin Yin’s hand and said, “Then thank you, Miss Yin.”

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome.” Yin Yin waved her hand again and again. She just wanted to quickly send away this big Buddha.

Ling Long walked out a few steps, then turned around and said, “I wonder how much do you know about Miss Du?”

Yin Yin’s eyes flashed and said, “I only heard my father mentioned that he had found her on the road. I don’t know about the rest.”

Ling Long lowered his eyes and said, “I see. So what’s the issue between Miss Yin and Miss Du?”

Don’t you know what ‘issues’ we have?

Yin Yin pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, “Young Master Lin is too worried, I have nothing to do with Qianqian.”

Ling Long nodded noncommittally and left Yin Yin’s door.

Yin Yin slept restlessly all night, wondering what Ling Long – that old fox, had discovered.

In a daze, she had a strange dream.

In the dream, she has returned to the house she used to live in. Everything in the living room was so familiar, but Yin Yin soon realized the difference.

The door of Ji Ting’s closed room is now slightly open.

As if bewitched by something, Yin Yin lifted her right foot and walked towards the door.

The room was dark, only the computer on the desk was emitting a cold light.

Yin Yin approached the desk lightly, wanting to see what was on the computer screen.

She swallowed and held her breath subconsciously, her expression nervous and solemn.

—— Maybe if she is not careful, she will know the country’s first level secrets.

But just as she was about to walk around to the front of the computer, she suddenly woke up without any sign.

Lying on the bed, she sighed with some regret, and then felt funny.

Even if she really did see something, it was just a ridiculous dream.

She looked out of the window. The sun was just beginning to shine but she couldn’t sleep anymore, so she just got up and went out to practice.

But before going to the martial arts training ground, she took a detour to the kitchen, intending to find something to fill her stomach first.

As soon as she arrived at the kitchen door, she heard a woman sobbing. Yin Yin poked her head out and took a look at the courtyard. She saw a girl dressed as a maid sitting on the steps while wiping her tears.

She thought about it. This seems to be a girl named Liu’er from the kitchen, who played the role of Du Qianqian’s best friend in <<All for Prosperity>>.

Thinking of this, her eyes looked around and sure enough, she saw Du Qianqian who was heading to the kitchen. On her side was Ling Long wearing a white gown.

Yin Yin snorted coldly in her heart. Did she start to attack the male lead this early in the morning? What a model worker.

Yin Yin stood outside the courtyard and didn’t move, thinking that the chance to perform in front of the male lead would be given to this white lotus. But to her surprise, Du Qianqian just frowned slightly when she saw Liu’er, and quietly walked around behind her into the kitchen.

Du Qianqian didn’t ask, and Ling Long also wouldn’t ask.

Yin Yin gave a “Yi” in her heart. She remembered that this plot was mentioned in <<All for Prosperity>>. The maid named Liu’er seemed to have been cheated by a heartless man. It was Du Qianqian who gave her a helping hand at that time.

Has the white lotus blackened to this point now? Not just only to herself, but also changed her attitude towards others?

Yin Yin blinked her eyes, walked over to Liu’er and sat down. She curiously asked, “What are you crying about?”

Liu’er looked at the person asking and unexpectedly saw her own Eldest Miss. She was so frightened that she bounced directly from the ground. “Miss?! This maidservant has been impolite!”

Yin Yin waved her hand indifferently, motioned for Liu’er to sit down, and asked again, “What are you crying about?”

“I…” Liu’er said hesitantly, and only spoke the word ‘I’ without continuing any further.

Yin Yin did not urge her but just waited patiently.

Du Qianqian and Ling Long came out of the kitchen and saw Yin Yin and Liu’er sitting side by side on the steps. She subconsciously frowned. “Eldest Miss, what are you doing here?”

Yin Yin turned her head, her eyes swept across Ling Long and Du Qianqian’s body. With a hint of playfulness, she said, “Young Master Lin came to visit the kitchen so early in the morning?”

Ling Long said, “I’m here to steal an expert.”

Yin Yin blinked and said, “Young Master Lin is also interested in cooking?”

“I don’t, but someone else does.”

Yin Yin was stunned, remembering that Ling Long made a living by selling intelligence. He sells all kinds of information that anyone can’t even think of. There’s nothing he doesn’t know.

It seems that Ling Long has a customer mentioned in <<All for Prosperity>> who collects all kinds of recipes from all over the world. As long as he is satisfied with the recipes, no matter how high the price is, he was willing to pay for it.

Yin Yin’s eyes fell on Du Qianqian. Although the white lotus’s IQ was worrying, it was not totally useless.

At least the dishes she cooks were delicious and full of variety.

Wanting to capture Ling Long with this? There are still some tricks used.

Seeing more and more people, Liu’er stood up awkwardly. “If there is nothing wrong with the Eldest Miss, this maidservant will leave first.”

Yin Yin grabbed Liu’er, who was about to leave. “Wait, I haven’t heard the gossip yet!”

Liu’ers expression solidified on her face. Yin Yin coughed dryly, “I mean, you haven’t told me why you’re crying.”

Liu’er bit her lower lip and sat down beside Yin Yin again. “To tell Eldest Miss the truth, this servant was cheated.”

Du Qianqian frowned in disgust when she heard this. She knew how Liu’er was cheated. In her previous life, she gave her money to Liu’er who was crying by herself. Although not much, it was all her savings.

But after Du Qianqian came back from rebirth, she found that her only good friend, like a changed person, was always full of inexplicable hostility towards her.

So Du Qianqian also didn’t show her a good face anymore. After all, she wasn’t the innocent Du Qianqian from before.

She pulled the corner of Ling Long’s clothes and called softly, “Young Master Lin, let’s go back to the room. Qianqian will help write down the recipe for you.”

Ling Long glanced at Yin Yin and sat down on the steps. “No hurry. I also want to hear how this girl was deceived.”

Yin Yin took a deep look at Ling Long who was sitting next to her, and he looked back at her calmly.

Seeing this, Du Qianqian frowned and sat down beside Ling Long.

Seeing several people staring at her intently, Liu’er suddenly became a little nervous.

She cleared her throat and spoke.

“Whenever this maid goes out to buy food, I often met a young man. The young man was handsome, gentle and polite. He often helped this maidservant carry things. Over time, I became familiar with him. The Young Master, surnamed Fang, has always taken good care of this maidservant, and he was also……adored by this servant girl.

But recently, Young Master Fang has been worried. After inquiring, I found out that Young Master Fang’s mother was seriously ill. But he did not have the money to treat his mother. So this maidservant took out the money I had saved over the years and wanted to help him. But today I learned that he is not called Fang Li at all, nor does he have a seriously ill mother. This servant girl wanted to confront him face to face, but I couldn’t find him anymore. “

When Liu’er said this, she began to wipe her tears again.

Yin Yin looked at Liu’er who was crying in front of her, and said with grief, “Oh my goodness! How many years ago was this scam?! There are still people who have been fooled?!”

Liu’ers crying stopped abruptly.

Everyone’s eyes focused on Yin Yin. She smiled awkwardly and said to Liu’er, “How much money have you been cheated of?”

Liu’er said, “One hundred taels of silver.”

Yin Yin: “……”

Yinjiazhuang was so rich that even a little maid in the kitchen could have a hundred taels of savings.

She looked at Liu’er and said, “I can also give you these hundred taels of silver, but will that make you relieve your anger?”

Liu’er frowned and thought for a while, shaking her head. “No. How can I just let that scum go for nothing?”

Yin Yin smiled and said, “I think so, too. There is a way into stealing, and also into cheating. I hate two kinds of swindlers the most in my life – one is to use other people’s kindness to do fraud; the other is to deceived the elderly living alone, and cheat them out of their savings.”

Ling Long’s eyes flickered slightly. Liu’er looked at Yin Yin like she didn’t understand, and asked, “So what is the Eldest Miss going to do?”

Yin Yin glanced at her and said, “I will help you cheat the money back.”

“Cheat it back?” Liu’ers eyes widened, and even Du Qianqian who was next to her was surprised.

Yin Yin nodded and asked, “How much do you want to get back?”

Liu’er was stunned, and said, “I just want to get back my hundred taels.”

Yin Yin sighed with affectation and said, “Liu’er, you are too kind. That scumbag’s money must have been cheated from girls.”

Liu’er opened her blurry eyes and said in a daze, “How much does the Eldest Miss wants to cheat?”

“All.”

Liu’er looked at Yin Yin incredulously, as if she had suddenly changed from a woman to a man, “How to cheat?”

Yin Yin stroked her non-existent beard, and showed a smile like an expert of the world. “This old man has a clever plan.”

Liu’er: “……”

She felt that she didn’t understand their Eldest Miss anymore.

Yin Yin’s hand has already begun to itch. She couldn’t clean up that Wang Wei; it’s better to clean up this Fang Li.

Yin Yin stood up. But because she had been sitting on the steps for too long, her feet felt numb, so she couldn’t stand firmly and almost fell back.

In a trance, she seemed to see a figure flashed past the courtyard.

Ling Long stood up quickly and supported Yin Yin. “Miss Yin, are you okay?”

Yin Yin looked at Ling Long’s hand around her waist, and her heartbeat sped up.

She quickly pushed away Ling Long and said, “I’m fine. Thank you Young Master Lin.”

After running away from the kitchen, Yin Yin just remembered that she went there because she wanted to get something to eat.

With a silent sigh, Yin Yin consciously put her hand on her waist where Ling Long’s body temperature seemed to have remained.

Yin Yin, who is aware of what she was doing, threw away her hand in shame.

She summoned a maid when she got back on the room. Yin Yin planned the next action while having breakfast.

She needs several helpers. Where can she find someone?

Yin Yin’s eyes lit up. I got it!

After breakfast, Yin Yin ran to the most lively tea shop in Shuntian County and sat down.

After ordering a bowl of tea, Yin Yin began to stare at the various passersby on the street.

“Fortune telling and divination. No money – not allowed~”

After a while, a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest came over from a distance, holding a stick tied with a white cloth in his hand. A picture of Tai Chi Bagua (eight diagrams) was drawn on the cloth, with the words ‘Divine Fortune Teller’ written beside it.

Divine Fortune Teller?

Yin Yin made a “Bah” sound inside her heart; divine swindler is about the same.

“This brother, please stay. I see your Yintang (space between the eyebrows) is dark and there’s a fierce light on your face. There will be a Disaster of Blood in the near future.” The Taoist grabbed a passing man and started drivelling on.

The man shook off the Taoist priest and cursed, “F*ck your mother! You will have a bloody disaster!”

The Taoist priest shook his head and cursed in his heart, “I wish you an early death and a better life”. And then continued to move forward, “Fortune telling and divination. No money – not allowed~”

Yin Yin smiled and followed the Taoist priest.

When passing a small intersection, Yin Yin pulled the Taoist priest into an alley.

The Taoist priest was so scared that he howled. Yin Yin impatiently gave him a slap on the forehead. “Howling at what, howling at what?”

When the Taoist heard that it was a little girl’s voice, his heart suddenly settled.

After seeing Yin Yin’s face clearly, the Taoist priest’s eyes lit up, “This Young Lady, what can this poor Taoist do for you?”

Yin Yin said with a fake smile, “I’d like to ask the master to calculate a diagram.”

“That’s simple. What does Miss want?”

“Disaster of Blood.” Yin Yin did not wait for the Taoist priest to speak, and then continued, “Your Disaster of Blood.”
