The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

Liao Qinglan strolled around for a while and thought it was about time that Liao Wan'er should have gone out, so she went back to her room to wait for Jinxiu.

Liao Qinglan was very tired after working hard these days and fell asleep while waiting.

As soon as I fell asleep, I had another nightmare.

In her dream, she first saw Li Jin wearing a bright red wedding dress on his wedding night.

His smile was like the spring breeze in March, and he looked like the kind of handsome and elegant man she loved most.

A gentle and pleasant voice said to her: "To have a wife as beautiful as the clear mist, what else can a husband ask for? I only wish to be together for the rest of my life."

Then Li Jin transformed himself, wearing a dragon robe and holding Liao Wan'er's hand, mocking her with the attitude of a winner.

"I have never loved you."

"You are so spoiled and willful, how can you compare to a hair of Wan'er?"

"If you were not still of some use, I would have married Wan'er long ago!"

Liao Wan'er, wearing a phoenix crown and dressed in gorgeous clothes, always looks weak in front of Li Jin.

"Sister Lan, you have had His Majesty for five years. Please don't separate His Majesty and me."

"We are both daughters of the Liao family. My sister won't blame me, right?"

"Sister, you have been favored for so many years but have no heir. You must take good care of yourself. I will share the harem affairs with you."

The scenes in the dream changed rapidly, and the wild laughter of Li Jin and Liao Wan'er resounded in my mind.

The two men made no secret of their disgust and ridicule for her. She ran desperately, but found that she could not escape even in her dreams.

Liao Qinglan sat up straight abruptly, a thin layer of sweat covering her forehead. Her chest heaved violently, and she was still in shock.

Jinxiu heard the noise and came over: "Miss, are you having a nightmare?"

"It's okay." Liao Qinglan took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her face. "How's the situation over there?"

"Miss is really prescient. Miss Wan'er really went out today and wandered around West Street for a long time! West Street is the place we told Ayan!" Jinxiu excitedly reported the fish she caught.

"Ayan..."

Liao Qinglan was a little surprised. Ah Yan had been with her for many years. Because she was quick and diligent, she was transferred to her room to serve her closely within a year of entering the mansion.

"I'll call her over for questioning now!" Jinxiu said.

"Not busy." Liao Qinglan stopped Jinxiu and asked, "Did you see how she spread the news?"

Jinxiu was stunned for a moment: "No, I watched her very closely today, and Ah Yan didn't go out."

"Then don't be anxious. There must be other people helping her pass the message. We just need to be patient and catch them all in one fell swoop." Liao Qinglan said.

"Shall we just wait then?"

"Of course we have to take action. Let's first transfer Ah Yan to the outer courtyard to clean up."

The sudden change made everyone else in the yard realize one thing:

——Ayan angered the young lady and was rejected by her.

Wherever the little girls get together, there is always chaos and intrigue, and conflicts between them are inevitable.

In just a few days, several people who had a problem with Ayan came to complain.

No matter what others said, Liao Qinglan listened quietly, comforted them in a soft voice, and then gave them some symbolic silver.

When word of this operation spread, everyone in the yard rushed to her to say bad things about Ah Yan, fearing that if they were a step late, someone else would say it first.

After a few days, Liao Qinglan gained a lot.

"Many people have mentioned that Ah Yan is very close to a steward named Zhang Qing in the mansion. What does this person do?"

Jinxiu tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly realized: "It all fits together. Zhang Qing is the son of Nanny Zhao who is by Liao Wan'er's side. He is in charge of purchasing food for the mansion. He must have passed on the message while delivering the food!"

"I have ignored Ayan for so many days. Has she made any move?" Liao Qinglan asked.

"She was suddenly transferred away from the young lady. The gap was too big to accept, so she fell ill and has been on leave for the past few days."

"Take a leave?" Liao Qinglan narrowed her eyes, "Come with me to her room and see if she is really sick."

Jinxiu hurriedly led the way.

In the maid's room, Ah Yan was not there.

Her intuition told her that Ayan must be with Zhang Qing, and she was waiting for the opportunity to catch them both in one fell swoop.

"Go to my mother's place and ask for Madam Fang. Tell her that I want to check the purchase accounts. Ask her to go to the kitchen. I will be there soon." Liao Qinglan said.

Jinxiu immediately accepted the order.

Liao Qinglan ordered a few trusted maids to come to the kitchen. Not long after, Jinxiu also came with Nanny Fang.

"Madame Fang, I want to see the kitchen accounts. Thank you for coming in person." Madame Fang was Cheng Yunxiang's maid who came with her as a dowry. She assisted her mother in managing all the affairs in the mansion. Liao Qinglan was very polite to her.

"This is exactly my job. I'll call the kitchen manager right now." Nanny Fang said with a smile.

The two walked into the kitchen together, and Nanny Fang randomly found someone and said, "Go and call Zhang Qing over."

"This... Manager Zhang has taken a leave today, and I don't know where he is..." The young kitchen helper who was called over stammered, looking very scared.

Nanny Fang has been in charge of personnel affairs in the mansion for decades and has developed a keen eye. She can spot such obvious tension at a glance.

"You're lying! Tell me the truth about where he is, and I won't hold you responsible for lying to me just now." Nanny Fang scolded her harshly.

The young kitchen helper was too young to stand the shock and panicked: "Manager Zhang is resting in the room, I don't know anything else!"

Nanny Fang felt that Zhang Qing must be hiding some secret, so she walked towards his room without saying a word and asked a few strong servants to break down the door.

The room was full of life and fragrance, with two white bodies entangled together.

It was Ah Yan and Zhang Qing who had asked for leave.

When Ah Yan saw so many people rushing in, she screamed in fear and hurriedly took the quilt to cover her body.

Nanny Fang was so angry that her hands were shaking. She pointed at them and said, "It's not even dark yet, and you're hiding here doing shameful things. Are you going to cause a big fuss?

Zhang Qing cried and wailed, "It's all Ah Yan's fault! Ah Yan ran to my house and threw herself into my arms, and I lost control and made a mistake."

Ah Yan couldn't believe that her lover actually put all the blame on her: "It was you who said you couldn't bear to let me do the rough work, so you asked me to take a few days off to accompany you! How can you say that I seduced you!"

"Madam Fang, you heard it, didn't you? This bitch didn't want to do rough labor, so she deliberately seduced me and wanted me to find her a job in the kitchen!"

"It takes two to tango! This is so immoral, I will report it to my wife and sell you out!"

The Liao family has a long tradition of poetry and etiquette, and such a dirty thing will not be tolerated in the mansion. There is no room for maneuver in this matter.

The two begged for mercy again and again.

Liao Qinglan, who had been standing outside the door, said, "Madam Fang, Ah Yan has been with me for so many years, can you please give me some face and let me take her back first?"

"Miss, keeping such a mean servant will only affect your reputation." Nanny Fang advised kindly.

Liao Qinglan nodded: "Don't worry, Ma'am, I know what to do, but there are some things I need to clarify first."

Nanny Fang didn't say anything more and let Liao Qinglan take A Yan away first.
