After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

Lin Qingrou cried out with all her strength, trying to arouse Xiao Jingyi's sympathy and sympathy for her.

Who would have thought that Xiao Jingyi was indifferent to her crying, and even kicked her away impatiently.

Lin Qingrou was a little confused after being kicked by Xiao Jingyi, but she would certainly not give up the opportunity to complain to Xiao Jingyi so easily.

Lin Qingrou thought that Xiao Jingyi loved her face the most, and now she had been tortured beyond recognition, so she decided that this would definitely make Xiao Jingyi heartbroken.

With the experience just now, Lin Qingrou did not step forward this time, but covered her face on the spot.

"Your Highness, Rou'er has really suffered a lot these days. Look at my face, it's been beaten into a mess. Rou'er just worked a little slowly, but who would have thought that the princess would be so cruel and beat my face, and she wouldn't let Doctor Ding treat me. Your Highness, you must make a decision for Rou'er!"

Lin Qingrou did not mention Lin Qingyao because her primary enemy now was still Tang Yingqian.

In Prince Kang's Palace, only by bringing Tang Yingqian down can she have a chance to take the top position.

What's more, Lin Qingrou knew very well that even if Xiao Jingyi's hand stretched out longer, he couldn't easily move Lin Qingyao.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to concentrate the firepower on Tang Yingqian, which might achieve better results.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingyi looked at Lin Qingrou carefully. Just now, before he could see clearly, Lin Qingrou had already pounced on him. Now he could see more clearly after keeping a distance from her.

Lin Qingrou's cheeks were slightly swollen and seemed to be festering, making her look horrible.

Xiao Jingyi recalled what Tang Yingqian had said just now, that Lin Qingrou was punished for disobeying discipline.

It seems that Lin Qingrou made Tang Yingqian very angry this time, otherwise Tang Yingqian, who has always been very tolerant of her, would not have done such a cruel thing.

Thinking of this, coupled with the discomfort of seeing Lin Qingrou's face, Xiao Jingyi's mood became worse and worse, and he didn't want to look at Lin Qingrou again.

Xiao Jingyi said coldly, "Forget about it. Do you think I will be fooled by you? I know the princess's temperament best. She has always been very tolerant of you. If you hadn't gone too far and angered her, how could she punish you like this? You are suffering from all this now. You have brought it upon yourself. Do you still have the nerve to cry to me? Also, don't forget your identity. You are a lowly servant, and you dare to call yourself "I" in front of me. Do you think your life is too long?"

Lin Qingrou was stunned when she heard this. Xiao Jingyi's attitude suddenly became so cold, which she had not expected.

Although Xiao Jingyi said that day that he would beat her to death with sticks, Lin Qingrou felt that it was just Xiao Jingyi's momentary angry words.

As long as Xiao Jingyi still has a little affection for her, as long as she surrenders and shows weakness, Xiao Jingyi will still feel sorry for her.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all. Xiao Jingyi's attitude today is more resolute than that day, as if he has seen through Lin Qingrou.

Lin Qingrou had no idea how much Xiao Jingyi knew, and after thinking for a moment she decided to give it a try.

Lin Qingrou quickly adjusted her expression and acted aggrieved.

"My Lord, what do you mean by that? I...when have I ever lied to you, my Lord?"

Because of Lin Qingyao's matter, Xiao Jingyi has been thinking about everything that happened between him and Lin Qingrou in the past these days, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Xiao Jingyi is a suspicious person. No matter what the matter is, once he starts to doubt, he will find more and more problems.

When Xiao Jingyi recalled Lin Qingrou's attitude towards the people around him, including her attitude towards Lin Qingyao, it was not difficult to find that Lin Qingrou was not as gentle as he imagined.

That means that all the gentleness and understanding that Lin Qingrou had shown in front of him before were all disguised, and she had been deceiving him all along.

Xiao Jingyi sneered, "You didn't deceive me? Lin Qingrou, you are still stubborn and refuse to admit it. Didn't you tell me that Lin Qingyao is a fool who knows nothing about music, chess, calligraphy and painting? But I saw with my own eyes today that she won the applause of the whole house with her Guangling San. Can you explain it to me?"

Lin Qingrou was shocked when she heard this and kept shaking her head.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! I have been by Lin Qingyao's side all these years, and we have learned these skills together. Lin Qingyao trusted me very much at that time, and she listened to me and didn't study seriously. She doesn't know anything at all, so how could she play Guangling San? Your Majesty, please don't make up nonsense to frame me."

Lin Qingrou's words made Xiao Jingyi very angry. "Lin Qingrou, what do you mean by this? Would I come here to tell you something that doesn't exist at all? I don't have that much free time. You think too highly of yourself."

After hearing what Xiao Jingyi said, Lin Qingrou finally believed that all this was true, but she couldn't figure out when Lin Qingyao learned to play the piano.

Guangling San is not an ordinary song. Even though she has practiced for many years, she can only play it haltingly. When did Lin Qingyao practice it secretly?

Could it be that Lin Qingyao had already suspected her since then, so she pretended to do what she said, but secretly practiced behind her back?

No matter what the truth of the matter was, Lin Qingrou had no way to defend herself at this moment.

Although she had told Xiao Jingyi many lies, so many that she couldn't remember them all.

But in the matter of Lin Qingyao, she indeed did not lie, so Lin Qingrou felt more and more aggrieved at this moment.

"My Lord, please believe me. I did not lie to you about this matter. Although I don't know what is going on, I swear that I am not talking nonsense."

Lin Qingrou was eager to explain and spoke without thinking, but she didn't expect that Xiao Jingyi would catch her.

Once Xiao Jingyi was sure of his own ideas, he would no longer listen to her excuses. His focus now was on the flaws that Lin Qingrou accidentally exposed.

Xiao Jingyi sneered, "Oh, I advise you to speak less at this time. The more you talk, the more problems you will expose. You have repeatedly emphasized that you did not lie to me about this matter. What you meant was that you have lied to me about other things?"

Lin Qingrou didn't expect Xiao Jingyi to seize this loophole, and she panicked for a moment.

"Of course, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that I have never lied to Your Majesty. Your Majesty misunderstood."

Xiao Jingyi chuckled when he heard this, "Oh, do you really think I know nothing? Weren't you quite tough when you insulted the princess? I never knew that you, who are always gentle, have such a side. It seems that you have had a hard time pretending in front of me all these years."

Lin Qingrou was stunned when she heard this. It was obvious that Tang Yingqian had exaggerated the story about her in front of Xiao Jingyi. She couldn't give in easily.
