It's all ruined, who cares about the chastity arch

The maid was wearing a plain blue shirt. Although she was not as charming as Jiang Yingying, she had a cool and unworldly temperament.

Her thin face, slightly protruding cheekbones, and the pair of almond-shaped eyes set in the long and narrow face not only failed to give her vitality, but instead looked particularly empty, as if they contained endless stories.

King Liang was eager to marry into the Jin family. This was not only to get rid of the ties between the Pei and Zheng families, but also because he knew that Miss Jin was jealous because she could not get Gu Linjun, which was exactly what he had in mind.

More importantly, the Jin family keeps a low profile in the court, and marrying their daughter will not cause much controversy.

However, despite all the calculations, King Liang had never anticipated that this seemingly indifferent Miss Jin actually had a heart that was unwilling to be ordinary.

Although Jin has lived in seclusion for a long time and has limited knowledge, she is not broad-minded.

She mistakenly thought that by becoming the Princess of Liang and being their elder, she could easily manipulate them.

The maid bowed her head and replied, "Reporting to the princess, yesterday Pei took her daughter to Princess Qu's mansion, but was driven out by the princess within an hour. After returning home, she had a fierce argument with Master Pei, and unfortunately was seriously injured."

Upon hearing this, Jin put down her book in displeasure: "As the mistress of the Pei family, you can't even handle such a small matter."

"If you want the regent to take a concubine, how can you just beg the princess to do it? You have to spread some negative words about her and destroy her reputation, and then the princess will take action."

Jin frowned and sighed, obviously dissatisfied with this, "It seems that I need to find another way."

Seeing this, the maid raised her eyebrows and advised gently: "Princess, Princess Pingle is your Majesty's biological sister after all, why bother to be hostile to her? If we can be on good terms with her, it will be of great benefit to our future."

Jin was not convinced: "So what if she is your Majesty's sister? I am also your Majesty's aunt. Even if she is favored, she is just a woman. As for Gu Linjun, although he is nominally the son of the eldest princess, he is actually the son of a concubine. Your Majesty has no children now. If Gu Linjun dies early, who in the court can inherit the throne?"

"Of course it's my prince."

The maid pursed her lips and said no more. Jin's words implied her ambition for power, which made people dare not underestimate her.

"If the prince wants to ascend the throne, his first task is to get rid of Gu Linjun. He and Su Wanyu are invincible together. Only by alienating them can we make them lose interest in government affairs and pave the way for the prince's plan."

Jin's tone was firm, as if everything was under control.

Upon hearing this, the maid pursed her lips and said no more, obviously shocked by the words.

Jin was upset and glanced at the maid: "If Yuan is really useless, just replace her with someone else."

The maid remained silent and said nothing.

Jin's eyes turned, a cunning look flashed across them, and she carefully looked at the maid: "Your sister is serving Emperor Xuan?"

The maid replied: "It's not like I serve the emperor personally, I am just responsible for pruning the flowers and trees in the emperor's garden."

Jin's eyes lit up: "That's great, find an opportunity for your sister to get close to the Regent."

Her words were full of calculations, and a new layout seemed to have quietly unfolded in her mind.

"Although the Regent King usually looks aloof and aloof, is there any man in this world who is not moved by beautiful women? Your sister's appearance is one of the best in the capital. Perhaps her beauty can really touch the heart of the Regent King."

In their early years, both Jin and Jiang Yingying admired the high and mighty Gu Linjun and longed for a little favor from him. However, the endings were the same. Not only did they not receive any tenderness, but they were treated coldly and even ruthlessly expelled from his world.

There was always a sense of unwillingness in Jin's heart. She stubbornly believed that all this was because her appearance was not enough to impress him. So over the years, she tried countless secret recipes and precious cosmetics, just hoping to make her more beautiful, but unfortunately the results were always minimal.

The waitress seemed a little hesitant, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "Princess, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this..."

Hearing this, Jin's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if there was anger burning in her eyes: "Why? Don't you want to help your sister?"

The maid was frightened by her stern look and trembled. She knelt down quickly, her forehead touching the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "I dare not. I will convey the princess's intention right away."

Seeing the maid's panic, Jin patted her shoulder gently, her tone mixed with a barely perceptible ruthlessness: "Go, be smart, don't let your sister accidentally anger Princess Pingle. If she can get pregnant with a dragon seed quietly, it will be a real step to heaven."

"Back then, wasn't it through such means that Jiang was able to enter the gate of the Zhenghou Mansion?"

The maid's thin shoulders shrank, and she could only agree timidly: "Yes, Princess."

Jin turned around and buried herself in the books on the table again, her brows furrowed, with unspeakable expectations and resentments in her heart.

Over the years, her admiration for the Regent Gu Linjun has only grown. However, when she mustered up the courage to confess her feelings to him, he ignored her coldly in public.

She originally thought that he was a saint who was not moved by beauty, but she did not expect that this man whom she regarded as supreme and inviolable would turn around and marry the daughter of the notorious treacherous minister.

Jealousy and resentment intertwined into a dense web in her heart, and she vowed to make sure that this perfect couple, who were envied by everyone, would never have peace.

Jin seemed to be calmly reading the book in her hand, her fingertips lightly running across each page. In fact, she did not read a single word. The scene of the two people turning against each other was repeatedly replaying in her mind. The exhilarating feeling made her sneer.

However, she never thought that her little trick had already fallen into the eyes of another wise and resourceful woman - Su Wanyu.

People often say that you should give someone a taste of their own medicine.

Just when Jin was feeling proud of herself, the maid Yan'er who had left appeared in front of the residence of Liang Wang Gu Linjun with tears streaming down her face.

Yan'er, whose original name is unknown, was adopted by the Jin family as a dowry maid because of her natural beauty. However, her beauty also brought her misfortune. Her face still bears the marks left by Jin herself when she was a child to "protect" her chastity.

The night before, Su Wanyu's personal maid Siqi took advantage of the cover of night and quietly brought her to her master.

After some interrogation, Yan'er revealed all her secrets with just one whip, and she thought her life was over.

However, to her surprise, Su Wanyu not only did not execute her, but also used magic to heal the scar on her face.

Although the old scars could not be completely eliminated overnight, Concubine Pei provided a clever way to cover them up. She covered the scars with a special artificial skin film and added a layer of fine foundation. Unless you looked closely, you would not be able to detect any abnormality.

Looking at the intact face in the mirror, Yan'er felt mixed emotions. She kowtowed to Su Wanyu in excitement, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life!"

As she spoke, her eyes became moist and her voice was choked with sobs.
