"Yes, mother, Ling'er has just heard about this from Liyi." Yan Ling bows slightly as if nothing happened.


"Oh? Really? Then I'd like to hear it from you." Mrs. Yan shows her anger completely. She pounds the table before others without saving face for Yan Ling, which perfectly shows her imposing manner as the hostess of the Prime Minister's House.


"From my perspective, it's clearly a rumor deliberately started by someone. It's just nonsense to disturb people's minds." Yan Ling says lightly, with his head down, unable to see her expression clearly.


"But weakness lends wings to rumors, sister. There must be a reason why this statement has been circulated." Yan Shuang blinks and pretends to be an innocent girl.


"So you think that I am the horrible person who extracts and uses poison?" Yan Ling turns to look at Yan Shuang.


Weakness lends wings to rumors. The old saying is correct. However, there is another old saying, "It's a pity that human hearts can never be as calm as the water, and they start rumors out of thin air". Since there is a rumor, there must be someone who fabricated it.


It is beyond Yan Shuang's expectation that Yan Ling is still in such a leisurely manner when she comes across things like that. This is the first time for her to face up the fact that Yan Ling is not the timid girl like before.


But Yan Shuang's lips curl up---it's not her fault that Yan Ling has been keeping a secret, which is exposed by her. She doesn't believe that Yan Ling dares to spills the beans.


"Of course not. I just think that it is kind of reliable to some degree since everyone else is talking about it..." Yan Shuang bites her lips and shakes her head hurriedly as if she wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. She really looks like a lovely and innocent girl when she pretends to be one.


Yan Ling slightly disdains Shuang. In her previous life, she was deceived by her innocent appearance. How could she be deceived again in this life?


Before Yan Ling could say something, Mrs. Yan took a step ahead: "Ling'er, why are you still arguing? Shuang never lies? I think you'd better admit it."


Yan Ling sneers: why can't she notice the obviously different attitude in her previous life?


It's just a few rumors spreading out from the House. Her mother didn't even care about the truth. On the contrary, she let Ling confess as soon as possible.


Or, which mother can be so "just".


Yan Ling does not expose her feelings, but raises her head. She looks at Mrs. Yan gravely and says, "Is what others said true? If now someone says that it is Sister Shuang who is producing poison, will mother believe him? "


Mrs. Yan subconsciously answers, "Shuang'er? How could she do this?"


"We are both your daughters, mother. If my sister doesn't do that, do you think I can? Am I really your biological daughter? "


Yan Ling's eyes are red, and she looks very sad. Even Liyi, standing aside, could not help but wipe her eyes.


Mrs. Yan is shocked, and she knows that she has just inadvertently said something she shouldn't have said. Although Yan Ling is not her daughter, the secret can't be revealed yet.


Mrs. Yan is thinking about how to deal with the situation now. Her previous promise for Yan Shuang can only be put aside temporarily. Now the most important thing is laying Yan Ling's doubts.


For a moment, no one in the room speaks a word. Yan Ling takes a look at Mrs. Yan and Yan Shuang's expression, and knows that she is right to do that. They are afraid that this secret will be exposed, so they will be disturbed by her words.


"Ling'er, what are you talking about? Both of you are born after ten months of my pregnancy." Mrs. Yan assumes a gentle look.


"I was just too worried. If this is spread out, it will affect your reputation and make the whole Prime Minister's House a topic of rumors. I have to worry." Mrs. Yan sighs as if she were a loving mother and responsible hostess.


"Of course I know what is on your mind, mother. But if it was done by Ling'er, there should be evidence, isn't there?" Yan Ling also wipes the corner of her eyes, as if pouring out her grievances.


Yan Shuang is already gnashing her teeth now. She didn't expect that she, together with her mother had prepared to find fault with Yan Ling, only to find things are reversed by Yan Ling.


But next, Yan Shuang forces an ill-intentioned smile. Don't you want evidence? The evidence can be reproduced someday, but the clues are different.


What's more, this clue is provided by themselves. If they don't admit, there is a higher possibility that others will think they feel guilty.


Thinking of this, Yan Shuang looks around. When Yan Shuang came here today, and she brought a lot of people in order to make Yan Ling embarrassed in front of more people.


"Actually I think that the rumor spreading out is related to a person close to you, sister." Yan Shuang coughs twice and turns to look at Yan Ling.


"Who?" Yan Ling frowns. No wonder this time Yan Shuang dares to come here in such a blatant way. It turns out that she has another plan.


With Yan Ling's question, Yan Shuang turns her eyes to Liyi standing by.


"Me? No, My Lady. I didn't say anything to her."


Liyi is panicked enough today. Now she gets involved in the case. It's Ok for Liyi if Yan Shuang just finds fault with her, but if she is guilty, then Yan Ling will be affected. Liyi has to be nervous.


"Ignorant girl! How can you interrupt when the master is talking?" Qinghe has been hating Liyi for a long time. Hearing this, she quickly steps forward and was about to slaps Liyi on the face.


However, she never expected that someone would be faster than her. When she tries to slap Liyi, Yan Ling firmly grasps Qinghe's wrist, and pulls her aside when she is still in a daze.


"You're right, but I don't know, Qinghe, when did you become the master! How dare you hit my maid?" Yan Ling says coldly.


In the previous life, Yan Ling was such a coward. Not only did she end up like that, but also she allowed those who were kind to her to be bullied. No one can hurt people she wants to protect in this life, not to mention the one in front of her at the moment.


"You! You're just..."Qinghe didn't remember the last lesson at all. She couldn't control her tongue even after being scolded by Yan Ling and wants to reveal Yan Ling's identity.


"Pah!" Suddenly, a crisp sound rang in the room. Qinghe is slapped hard by Yan Shuang, and falls to the ground.


Being worried and angry, Yan Shuang turned pale. The reason why Qinghe knows the secret is that she inadvertently told her, which was strictly prohibited by Mrs. Yan.
