《The Fortune of Rebirth: The Counterattack of the Princess》C20. Betrayed by a Slip
Advertisement
Inside the cage is a medium-sized dog, a pure black one. They don't know what its breed is, but they can tell it's very fierce at first sight.
"You! Why did you bring this to Miss Ling?" Liyi is a little nervous. She likes small animals, not fierce ones.
Yan Ling doesn't feel scared or say anything else. Instead, she looks at the dog in the cage with great interest.
"Usually, it won’t bite people." Nan Yan seems embarrassed and explains unnaturally.
"Is it for me?" Yan Ling smiles.
Seeing Nan Yan nodding, she continues, "What's its name? Can you let it out? "
"My Lady!" Liyi wants to stop her subconsciously. Although Nan Yan has just said that the dog will not bite people, it's a beast anyway. No one can ensure it won’t bite.
"No name." Nan Yan ignores Liyi and unlocks the cage.
The dog comes out of the cage, clearly not afraid of these strangers it sees when looking around.
However, it doesn't move much, with a distant look exactly like Nan Yan's. Liyi is amused and her tension vanishes.
"Then it will be called Yanyan, which means disgusting." Yan Ling smiles and squints.
Nan Yan's body is stiff, and he feels offended. He couldn't help thinking: "Why did you explain that ‘yan’ means disgusting? Are you suggesting that it's related to Nan Yan since their names have the same pronunciation?"
Liyi naturally understands the meaning of Ling and becomes happier. Although she keeps her head low, she couldn’t stop her shoulders from trembling.
After thinking about it, Nan Yan still feels that there’s no point in arguing with them about the dog’s name, so he just keeps his straight face without saying anything.
After a long time, Liyi looks at Yan Ling and asks, "How do you plan to raise Yanyan, My Lady? Do you want me to tell the housekeeper to get a kennel or something like that? "

Before Yan Ling raises her voice again, Nan Yan says, “Stocking would be a better way.”
Noticing that Liyi is slightly worried, Nan Yan adds, "It won't smudge the yard."
Liyi sighs: "This is part of the reason of course. Many people come in and out, what if Yanyan bites?"
Liyi's concern is reasonable. Today Lady Shuang came to find faults obviously. It will be extremely troublesome if there is another bite accident at this time.
"It will only bite the person who deserves it." Nan Yan says determinedly, with something gleaming in his eyes.
Something suddenly dawned on Yan Ling at the sight of Nan Yan's appearance. She narrows her eyes and says, "Nan Yan is right. I believe that Yanyan will not embarrass me. What's more, a biting dog doesn't bark. "
Nan Yan knows that Yan Ling understands him, so he feels relieved. But somehow there is slight sense of uneasiness. Every time when Yan Ling calls "Yanyan", the smile on her face makes him feel that Yan Ling is actually calling him.
Liyi naturally doesn't understand. Although she is still hesitating, Nan Yan's guarantee gives her no reason to refuse. In addition, Lady Ling has agreed, so she cannot say anything more.
After being released in the yard, Yanyan finds a corner and lies there comfortably. It doesn’t run in the yard and just glances at people who come and go.
At first, Li stares at it nervously all afternoon. Later, seeing the calm and self-confident behaviour of Yanyan, she knows that she has been entertaining imagery concern.
In the next few days, not only everyone in the Prime Minister's House knows the rumor, but also it gets worse. In the end, it seems that everyone saw Yan Ling refine poison in her yard.

There are still dead insects and mice outside Yan Ling’s yard every morning. However, Yan Ling and the people in her yard are calm and give no responses.
However, three days later, a breaking event suddenly occurs in Yan Ling's yard—someone was bitten by Yan Ling's newly raised dog, "Yanyan"!
It is also in the early morning that a scream suddenly rang in Yan Ling yard. Because of the rumor before, people are very sensitive to whatever happens in Ling’s yard, so they rush in immediately.
However, they don’t see any poisoned people, but see Qinghe who is trembling for being bitten by Yanyan.
When Liyi rushes here, she really feels regretful. Although Miss Ling said it was OK, she should have kept a close watch on the dog, preventing it from stirring up trouble.
In fact, Qinghe bears grudges against the people in this yard. Under current circumstances, Liyi is afraid that she will seize this opportunity to harm Miss Ling.
Thinking of this, Liyi gets increasingly nervous and she looks at Nan Yan who is standing aside. Seeing that Nan Yan has no expression of guilt or surprise, Liyi gets angrier.
“Didn't you say that Yanyan won't bite people? Look what just happened! Why do you always act on assumptions?” Liyi can't help but stare at him.
Sensing Liyi’s piercing stare, Nan Yan doesn't intend to explain. He just turned to Liyi and said, "I'll call Miss Ling. Keep an eye on her and don't let her go!"
With this, Nan Yan hurriedly leaves before Liyi could understand.
Although Liyi is a little confused, she does what Nan Yan said. She stops those who are going to send Qinghe back to Miss Shuang and tells them that no one is allowed to leave until Miss Ling arrives with a decision.
However, hearing Liyi's words, Qinghe seems to be particularly thrilled: "No! No! I don't want it! Send me back. "
Liyi thinks that it’s because Qinghe wants to go back to find her own backer, and she immediately says with dissatisfaction, "No matter how much you want to go back and seek Miss Shuang’s support, you have to let Miss Ling see how bad your injury is first."
However, what surprises Liyi is Qinghe’s response, "I'm ok. It’s all my fault for being bitten by a dog. It has nothing to do with Miss Ling. I will be ok after a rest."
Hearing this, Li realizes that something is wrong. According to Qinghe's personality, how could she let this go so easily?
Only guilt can be the reason for Qinghe's behaviour at the moment. Associating this with the previous rumor, Liyi suddenly feels enlightened.
"How can I do that? After all, you were bitten by Miss Ling’s dog. You deserve an explanation no matter what happened. But, why are you so nervous? What did you do?" Liyi sneers with her arms crossed when she stares at Qinghe, who is still struggling with a bite mark on one leg.
Qinghe just feels bad, but those things are still on her now. In case someone finds out that…
