I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

Lin Yan was furious and wanted to leave immediately. But she couldn't do that. She endured the burning pain, gritted her teeth, picked up the teapot again, and filled a new cup of tea for Mu Xueli. However, when she handed the cup to Mu Xueli again, she suddenly overturned the cup with force, and the hot tea splashed on Lin Yan's hand again.

"Get rid of the bad luck!" Mu Shirley explained proudly, as if all this was natural.

Lin Yan's anger had reached its peak, and she almost couldn't help but rush up and slap Mu Xueli. However, she gritted her teeth and endured it. She took a deep breath and continued to pour the third cup of tea for Mu Xueli. Unexpectedly, this time Mu Xueli repeated the same trick and poured the hot tea on her hand again.

"Have you had enough fun?" Lin Yan finally couldn't help but yelled. She glared at Mu Xueli with anger flashing in her eyes. "Princess, please respect yourself!"

Zhao Yuan couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He frowned and said unhappily, "Okay, drink this tea if you want to. If you don't want to, forget it." There was obvious impatience and dissatisfaction in his voice.

Mu Shirley drank it slowly.

After serving tea, Zhao Yuan looked at Lin Yan, Mu Xueli, and Chen Qingqing.

Subconsciously, he wanted to look at Lin Yan's hand that had just been scalded by the tea, but after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate, and said lightly: "You all go back. I have something to do in the outer courtyard. Don't cause any more trouble." After that, he stood up and strode away.

The women in the room were left staring at each other in bewilderment.

Xie Miao and the others were eager to talk to Lin Yan, but the head mistress, Princess Mu, did not speak, so no one dared to speak.

Lin Yan's hand was burned by Mu Xueli's accidental overturn of the tea bowl when she was drinking tea. She could only hide her hand in her sleeve in pain. Mu Xueli didn't say anything and could only sit there. The only comfort she had was that she was no longer an ordinary concubine, but a concubine, one of the wives in the ancient system of three wives and four concubines.

Mu Xueli couldn't help but stare at Lin Yan again and again. The more she looked, the more she couldn't understand why Zhao Yuan favored her. He actually wanted to bring such a star of misfortune in with a legitimate reason.

In terms of fate, she is not as good as herself. In terms of family background and beauty, Chen Qingqing is much better than her. In terms of gentleness, Xie Miao and Lin Yan are definitely better than each other. So, what exactly does Zhao Yuan like about her? Is it... her skills in bed?

It seemed that Mu Xueli could not think of any other reason except this. However, the prince was not without taboos. Didn't he stay in Chen Qingqing's room last night?

Thinking of this, Mu Xueli couldn't help but feel a strong sense of disgust. She was completely disappointed with Zhao Yuan and no longer had any hope. Since things had developed to this point, don't blame her for using Zhao Yuan's power to protect herself.

At this moment, Mu Xueli stared at Lin Yan coldly, her eyes full of coldness and anger. Lin Yan, who was being stared at, felt uncomfortable and on pins and needles. Zhao Yuan didn't even dare to say a word when he saw Mu Xueli pouring boiling hot tea on him. This was what he called love.

Mu Xueli's voice was as cold as ice: "Lin Yan! You are really good!"

Lin Yan pretended to be dumb and tried to cover up her crime: "Princess, did you remember my name wrong? My name is Lin Yurou. Who is Lin Yan?"

However, Mu Xueli didn't buy her trick at all. She sneered and said, "Don't think I don't know about your shit. Xiang Ling has told me everything. Don't keep pretending."

Speaking of Xiang Ling, Lin Yan looked around Mu Xueli, but why didn't she see her? Logically, Xiang Ling should have either appeared in this room with Zhao Yuan as his concubine, or returned to Mu Xueli to continue serving her. It was too strange to hear her voice or see her figure at all.

Then again, not to mention Xiangling, even she herself didn't know about her change of identity until she arrived at the place. On the way back to Beijing, Zhao Yuan didn't reveal a single word.

"Princess, you are the mistress of the house. If you want me to be the girl named Lin Yan, then that's it!" Her hands hurt so much that she didn't want to stay in this room any longer. So Lin Yan simply retreated and obeyed.

Mu Xueli punched the cotton and angrily threw the hot teacup in her hand at Lin Yan's head.

Lin Yan knelt down and escaped. Suddenly, she said in a miserable voice, "Sister, I just came to the mansion. If there is anything I have done wrong, please give me some advice. Don't get angry. It's not good to hurt your body. The medicine is very bitter. It is very harmful to the body. It will be even more difficult for you to get pregnant."

Chen Qingqing was dumbfounded watching from the side. She had noticed from the tea offering just now that Mu Xueli and Lin Yurou didn't get along, and she couldn't figure it out. Lin Yurou had just entered the mansion, and the prince was in her room yesterday. Logically, Mu Xueli should have a prejudice against her!

But the whole process was very strange. Lin Yan was scalded again and again by Mu Xueli with tea, and this happened in front of the prince, but the prince didn't even dare to get angry. How could Lin Yurou offend Mu Xueli so deeply?

Now she finally understood the problem. It turned out that this Lin Yurou was the legendary Aunt Lin, the Aunt Lin who was the most favored by the prince.

No wonder Mu Xueli ignored me. I don’t know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. I shrank my body and tried hard to make myself invisible. I’ll just watch the show from the side!

Mu Shirley was so angry, "How dare you talk back!"

Lin Yan looked at the broken porcelain pieces and tea leaves on the ground, feeling a little unhappy, but still said, "Sister, how dare you? Sister, you are the mistress of the Rui Palace. I think there are a lot of things you need to deal with all day long. Sister just came in, and I am just concerned about your health. You should know that your health is the greatest wealth of our Rui Palace. If you think what I said is inappropriate, I will not say it again in the future."

Mu Xueli's chest rose and fell with anger. She tried to calm herself down. "Why are you still standing there? Go back quickly! As a woman, you are showing your face outside. You have no sense of self-discipline! Who knows if she is having affairs outside? She might be a dirty thing. It's only because our prince is blinded by his greed that he can't see the character of some people. This princess will not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. If you fail to serve the prince well in the future, this princess will not let you go."

Lin Yan felt pain on the back of her hand, and didn't want to choke Mu Xueli anymore, so she lowered her head and said, "Some people sit in a high position, but they just can't catch a man's heart. There's nothing you can do about it. Even if you throw yourself at them, no one will want you."

Mu Xueli was so angry that she wanted to hit Lin Yan. She looked around but found nothing to throw. She was also concerned about Zhao Yuan. She glanced at Chen Qingqing who was watching the fun and said, "Sister Chen, this Lin Yurou is our former Aunt Lin Yan. She pretended to be dead and escaped from the mansion. The prince traveled thousands of miles to find her and even changed her vest. It's a pity that she has served the prince for a year, but there is no news in her belly. She is just a hen that can't lay eggs. She is good-looking but useless. Sister Chen, you must serve our prince well and try to give birth to a child as soon as possible to expand our Rui Palace."
