Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Even if Lin Zhuoyin didn't want to go, she had to come to Xili Courtyard. As soon as she entered the door, Nian Shilan hadn't arrived yet, which was normal, because Nian Shilan was always the last one to arrive.

Li Jingyan always remembered food but not punishment. When he saw Lin Zhuoyin, he exclaimed, "Oh, Sister Lin, there are dark circles under your eyes. Did you not sleep well last night?"

As someone who knew half of the situation, Fei Yunyan began to add insult to injury, "Sister Li, don't you know that Youyangju was very lively last night!"

How could Li Jingyan not know? Although Lin Zhuoyin's dark face was very scary, Li Jingyan just couldn't control his mouth. "I heard a few words this morning. Sister Fei, can you explain it to me?"

As Nian Shilan's vanguard, Fei Yunyan was even less likely to be afraid of Lin Zhuoyin. She told the story vividly, "Yesterday was a good day for Sister Lin, so the prince naturally had to stay overnight at Youyang Residence. I don't know what happened, but the one who slept with Sister Lin was actually Lily, Sister Lin's personal maid."

Li Jingyan was so shocked that she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, "Ah? The Lily who was punished with a slap on the hand?"

Fei Yunyan deliberately glanced at Lin Zhuoyin before saying with certainty, "It's that Lily!"

Li Jingyan asked Lin Zhuoyin directly, "A maid like Lily who committed a serious crime, and your sister still lets her serve you personally?"

Before Lin Zhuoyin could answer, Fei Yunyan revealed the answer, "Of course that's impossible. Sister Lin is kind-hearted. She wanted to let Lily heal her hand injury first before making any plans. I didn't expect that Lily had already found a place for her!"

Li Jingyan patted his chest and said in fear, "Such a scheming maid is really scary. Fortunately, the prince is very perceptive. Otherwise, if the maid really entered the backyard as she wished, who knows how many troubles would arise!"

Fei Yunyan snorted with disdain, "It's just the people below who are dreaming, thinking that anyone can get to the top." Then she looked at Lin Zhuoyin with an apologetic look and said, "I forgot that Sister Lin was also a palace maid. No wonder Lily followed her example."

Lu Yingfeng couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she put the teacup on the table. The crisp sound attracted everyone's attention, "Sister Fei, be careful with your words. Prince Dou has already made a conclusion about what happened last night, so you should be more careful with your words!"

Since Nian Shilan was not around, Fei Yunyan didn't dare to confront Lu Yingfeng. She could only smile awkwardly and said nothing.

Lin Zhuoyin thought she could hide away for a while, but a sneer came from outside the door, "Sister Lu is so arrogant!"

No need to guess, the person who came was naturally Nian Shilan. In order to watch the fun, she packed up early today and rushed to Xiliyuan. She happened to see Lu Yingfeng admonishing Fei Yunyan.

Lu Yingfeng didn't show any panic, she said with a smile, "Sister Nian, I am so ashamed. I was just trying to protect the prince's face, how come I am showing off?"

Nian Shilan sat down in her seat gracefully, "You've scared sister Fei so much that she doesn't dare to speak. Isn't that showing off your power?"

Lu Yingfeng said calmly, "Sister Nian is thinking in the wrong direction. Maybe Sister Fei has had some sudden realization after my advice, so she is silent now?"

Nian Shilan raised an eyebrow and commented, "Sister Lu is really sharp-tongued!"

Lu Yingfeng smiled and said, "My sister only has Miaohan as her daughter. If she is not more eloquent, won't she be looked down upon by others?"

Nian Shilan leaned back in her chair and said, "I thought my sister was fearless because she had the Second Princess as her child!"

Lu Yingfeng said modestly, "Sister Nian, what you said really makes me feel wronged!"

Seeing that Lu Yingfeng was not moved by her persuasion, Nian Shilan was unwilling to argue with her any further, so she turned her gaze back to Lin Zhuoyin, "Sister Lin, why do you look so haggard today?"

Li Jingyan didn't dare to breathe a single word just now. When he saw Nian Shilan's attention shifted to Lin Zhuoyin, he felt relieved and said rudely, "It's all because of that unruly Lily!"

Nian Shilan glanced at Li Jingyan and said, "Sister Li, if you have nothing to do, why not taste the tea on the table? Fu Jin has always been generous to us. This tea is newly picked this year. Sister Li, drink more, and you won't be confused and say stupid things."

Li Jingyan was speechless and could only follow Nian Shilan's instructions, pick up the teacup and drink tea.

Without the interference of others, Nian Shilan turned her firepower to Lin Zhuoyin again, "Why doesn't your sister know what I say?"

Lin Zhuoyin knew she couldn't avoid it, so she could only say with red eyes, "A lot happened last night, so I couldn't sleep as well as my sister."

Nian Shilan sneered at Lin Zhuoyin's performance, "Sister, there is no need to be so hypocritical. Who in the palace doesn't know about Lily's affairs?"

Lin Zhuoyin clenched her teeth tightly and squeezed out the words from her throat, "Sister already knew it, why bother me?"

Nian Shilan admired Lin Zhuoyin's embarrassment, and then casually threw out a big bombshell, "I heard that Lily was wearing her sister's opera costume, so the prince mistook her for someone else?"

Li Jingyan was like a wild animal eating melons. If it weren't for etiquette, she would have stood up. However, not being able to stand up did not affect Li Jingyan's excitement. "Lin Daiyu's costume?"

Nian Shilan added, "Yes, if it weren't for the Lily incident, the sisters would have been kept in the dark by Sister Lin! It's no wonder, after all, we never thought of pleasing the prince by singing."

Li Jingyan spoke without thinking, "That's what prostitutes do!"

The thing Lin Zhuoyin feared the most happened. She felt dizzy and had tinnitus. She couldn't even sit still. She felt that everyone present was looking at her with strange eyes. The shadow of her childhood once again shrouded Lin Zhuoyin.

Lin Zhuoyin seemed to be back in the opera troupe. At that time, in order to avoid the discipline of her master, Lin Zhuoyin hid in the backstage where the makeup was done. Unexpectedly, as soon as she hid, the pillar of the stage, Sister Ruyan, was pulled into the room by someone. The person was talking nonsense and was about to tear Sister Ruyan's clothes.

Sister Ruyan fought back desperately, but was slapped to the ground. "You are a lowly actor, and you are playing hard to get with me! Don't you realize who you are?"

Ruyan was pinned to the ground and was about to despair, but the door was suddenly kicked open. It turned out to be the man's wife who came to catch the adulterer. However, the lady did not go to pull her husband away, but ran straight towards Ruyan.

Another mouth crushed Ruyan's rising hopes into dust. The lady not only beat Ruyan, but also dragged the dishevelled Ruyan out for others to see, "Come and have a look, this famous actress took off her clothes to seduce my husband!"

The onlookers would not speak for Ruyan. They loudly accused Ruyan of being willing to lower herself to a low level, but they could not help staring at her exposed skin, their eyes filled with lustful thoughts.

Sister Ruyan hanged herself that night. The troupe was in chaos and no one paid attention to where Lin Zhuoyin went. However, the scene of being criticized by thousands of people was imprinted in Lin Zhuoyin's mind.

Now, being accused in public by Nian Shilan, Lin Zhuoyin was vaguely back to that scene, only this time she was in Ruyan's position, accepting everyone's pointing and criticizing.
