"I'm too curious. Please, sit down and tell me what happened."

Lin Mengya smilingly poured a cup of tea for Qinghu, showing her white teeth.

"Little girl, why didn't you feel curious about that Furong Restaurant being mine?"

Qinghu took a sip of scented tea after having a seat, seeming in a good mood.

"The scented tea smells just the same as Flower Valley does. There is no one able to get there except you."

Shaking his head, Qinghu cracked a bitchy smile like a fox catching a chicken.

"You call me a fox every day. In my view, you are as cunning as a little fox. You're cleverer than me, I admit."

The so-called Master Du, who had been disabled, was brought under control by the servants present.

Right then, he was squatting at the hall of the first floor, and was whining.

Other guests must have been not surprised at that.

It was reasonable if you thought over it. No one was allowed to make trouble in Qinghu's place.

"What are you going to do with these guys?"

No one was able to hurt Lin Mengya as long as Qinghu was still alive.

Lin Mengya relaxingly laughed. It had been a long time since she felt pleased like that.

"Kill them all. Chop their bodies into small cubes and make meat buns."

Qinghu with an eerie smile tried hard to act like a psycho killer.

To be honest, Qinghu with his dangerous expression and pretty face, indeed appeared to have the potential to be a psycho.

Even his four female servants were scared, to fumble in their arms and stepping back unconsciously.

Lin Mengya rolled her eyes at Qinghu. "Such a guy! Never behaving since his return."

Qinghu finally returned to normal after Lin Mengya patted him on the head.

"Well, tell me your findings, otherwise, cut your tongue to eat with my liquor."

Qinghu puckered his lips, pretending to be an abused man.

If Qinghu was a psycho, then Lin Mengya would be a robber.

There were no good people at all!

"The dead person, as you expected, is really the eldest daughter of the Yue family, Yue Ting's real mother. I also heard of something else. It may be relevant."

Yue Ting's parents' home, the Su family, people in which had ever lived an extravagant life, was in decline.

They were unlikely to let go of Lord Yue since he was such a son-in-law of high rank.

Su Meiyi, the eldest daughter of the Su family, had been in love with Lord Yue. However, she was unlucky to be seriously ill.

"Therefore, the second daughter took her sister's place and married Lord Yue?"

Lin Mengya had almost known the truth. There was only one thing she couldn't figure out.

'It was said that Mrs. Yue's biological sister was unmarried. How could she...?'

"Her sister's name is Su Meiyun. She failed to get married because she misbehaved. Her fiancé broke off their engagement. There is also another secret. Su Meiyun even had an illicit intercourse with their servant. She gave birth to a girl. But that girl disappeared."


Qinghu told slowly all the secrets he collected. Those secrets might have been thought to be scandals in families of high rank.

However, Lin Mengya still felt confused.

The Su family let their second daughter to be the bride because they wanted Lord Yue to be their son-in-law. It seemed not to be convincing enough.

Even though Mrs. Yue had passed away, the second daughter of the Su family could have been Lord Yue's second wife justifiably.

It was common in Dajin after all.

Besides, as the daughter of the Su family, how could it be possible to have an illicit intercourse with a servant?

How could their personalities be so different?

"What are you thinking, little girl?"

Qinghu waved his hand in front of Lin Mengya. After she came to her senses, Qinghu cracked a smile and took a piece of lotus cake from the table, then sent it to her mouth.

"I'm thinking..."

Lin Mengya was about to speak when she found that her mouth had been filled with the cake.

Lin Mengya chewed it unconsciously and swallowed it. She found that the cake had a delicious smell.

"I'm thinking that there must be something else we haven't discovered. But as time passes, only people involved may know the whole truth."

Lin Mengya was losing herself in her thoughts. She wanted to know what the relationship between them was.

Qinghu secretly smiled, and put another delicious cake piece into her mouth. 'It is so funny to see Lin Mengya lose herself in her thoughts.'

She would eat whatever he fed her.

He hadn't seen her only for a few days. Qinghu found that his little girl became thinner and was no longer cute.

"Right. It's been many years. People involved may have died or gone away. But, when I opened the coffin and examined the corpse therein, I found that Su Meiyi might have died of poison, not from a disease.

To check whether the corpse was Su Meiyi or not, they had to open the coffin and examine the body.

Since he had wandered about for many years, Qinghu was able to find the secrets of the corpse.

"Poison? If Su Meiyi ate many drugs because of being beyond recovery, her corpse would show symptoms of having been poisoned."

Speaking of pharmacology, Lin Mengya expressed herself clearly.

Qinghu nodded with his right hand under his chin. He was thinking how to fatten Lin Mengya up.

"So I said 'might'. I have to give it up for now as the body had been buried for too long."

In the modern world, identification of corpses might be the commonest method in solving a case.

But in the ancient world, that was a big offense against the soul of a deceased person.

When hearing that Qinghu had really opened the coffin and examined the corpse, his four servants were already frightened.

Why did their master look as if nothing had happened?

Both of them: it was a small weirdo plus a big weirdo. They were the weirdest.

"If the news that Su Meiyi's tomb had been robbed were to be spread out, would Mrs. Yue give herself away?"

Lin Mengya turned the teacup, and a shrewd grin formed in the corner of her mouth.

It immediately aroused Qinghu's interest, and he watched Lin Mengya with radiant eyes.

"What plan are you thinking of, little girl?"

What Qinghu preferred was the bad side of Lin Mengya. He liked her subtle expressions when being extremely bad, as if she were able to scheme against everyone under the sun.

"You will know soon."

They looked at each other with lights shining in their eyes.

Every time that expression showed up, someone was bound to get into trouble.

Lin Mengya had a strong feeling that something was going to happen soon.

People said that the eldest daughter of the Su family had been close friends with the empress since they were children.

Then, why would a person who was the close friend of the empress currently be the second daughter?

The empress was so clever. Didn't she find it out?

There might be something behind it.

If the empress was involved, everything would have been made clear, including the reason why Yue Ting had been raped.

But Lin Mengya didn't know how to explain it to her brother.

'It's so annoying! If brother really knew the truth, he would turn the world upside down.'

"You were laughing like a fox just a moment ago. Why are you pulling a long face now?"

Qinghu felt sad when seeing his little girl like this. He really didn't want her to be sad, not even a little bit.

"I'm thinking how to tell my brother the truth. Uncle Yue told me that my brother might return to the Capital City in a month at most. If my brother knows what happened to Yue Ting, he may make a big trouble."

Everyone had known of it in the Capital City.

Without her orders that no one could go into Yue Ting's place for no reason,

Yue Ting might have hanged herself to death.

"I've heard that, your brother has become calmer as he has been fighting on the battlefield for many years. Why not tell him what he needs to watch out for? I believe he will know what he should do."

Since Hu Lunan had died, she might have taken revenge for Yue Ting.

However, Lin Mengya knew clearly that the Crown Prince, the empress and Mrs. Yue must have been involved.

Those guys framed her, Long Tianyu and Yue Ting over and over.

So she would never spare a single one of them.

She would let them pay for it one by one!

"I hope so. Oh, did you design for the Furong Restaurant in person?"

She had never expected that Qinghu had a talent as a designer. She had really thought little of him before.

The one who had been praised just then, had immediately raised his nose in the air.

He almost had his tail up, and showed an expression of desiring to be further praised and worshiped.

"Of course! Moran, Qingli, come to see your new master. From now on, Lin Mengya will be the master of the Furong Restaurant!"

Qinghu looked cheerful, and gave his Furong Restaurant to Lin Mengya in just a few words.

Before his voice died away, a man and a woman had arrived.

The man of an ordinary appearance looked mature and steady. The woman looked delicate, pretty, and shrewd.

"Moran, Qingli, Master."

Both of them greeted in the same tone. Lin Mengya actually went blank for a while before she came to her senses.

'It was apparent that the Furong Restaurant was designed elaborately by Qinghu.

'As a result, it now became my property in the blink of an eye. It seems to be too fast.'

"Ah? For me? Are you running a fever?"

Lin Mengya sat close to Qinghu, with her hand covering his forehead and then hers for comparison.

It was normal.

Then, Lin Mengya patted him on the cheek, producing a subtle sound. Instantly, a flicker of astonishment flashed in Moran and Qingli's eyes.

"Oh my god! She wasn't killed by master! Amazing!"

"You little girl, you took advantage of me again!"

Although he said that, Qinghu still let Lin Mengya "take advantage of" his face.

Qinghu noticed the shining eyes from his people trained on him.

So he turned his eyes, and stared at both of them in a frozen manner.

"Alright, there is nothing you can do. Leave now."

Both of them bowed to leave immediately, while Lin Mengya smilingly retracted her hand.

"I refuse your gift. It is the money used to buy a coffin for yourself. If I accept it, you will have no coffin for yourself when you die."
