She was buried alive at the start, but she's determined to smash her ex-husband's head in

Just as Lin Zhengwen was about to take a break, Madam Ye walked over quickly with a beaming smile, as if some extraordinary happy event was about to happen.

Normally, Lin Zhengwen would have been just as happy as Ye Shi was, but today he couldn't help but feel uneasy. He wished that nothing had happened at all!

Even if something really happens, never get involved with Lin Qingwei!

Just as the master predicted, this girl will surely cause unrest throughout the Lin family!

"Master! Guess who's here?" Madam Ye's gloom vanished, replaced by an irrepressible smile.

Lin Zhengwen said weakly, "I don't want to guess, as long as it's not related to Qingwei."

"Master guessed right! It really is related to her! But it's an extremely good thing!" Madam Ye said excitedly, "The Duchess of Mu has brought her son to our door! It seems she wants to break off the engagement!"

The veins on Lin Zhengwen's forehead bulged. He clenched his fists, suppressing his anger, and asked through gritted teeth, "What kind of good thing is this?"

Having their engagement annulled, the Lin family is utterly disgraced! The onlookers probably haven't even all left yet! They'll likely be ridiculed again at tomorrow's court session!

Ye leaned gently against her husband's chest, stroking his chest lightly to help him catch his breath.

“How can it not be a good thing? Although the young master may not like her, it doesn’t necessarily mean he has no interest in Xiuyao. Our Yao’er is a very famous noble lady in the capital. Breaking off the engagement will indeed damage the reputation of the Lin family. But what if the young master only breaks off the engagement with Qingwei, but not the engagement with the Lin family?”

Her voice was soft and gentle, subtly touching Lin Zhengwen's heart.

Yes! How could he forget Yao'er! It would be best if the Duke of Mu's mansion would take a liking to Yao'er! It would not only save face for the Lin family, but also give Yao'er a good home!

"Quickly! Tell Yao'er to get ready! Also, send someone to inform Qingwei that the Duchess is coming in person, and she probably wants to see her too."

"Okay." Ye's eyes darted around, and she agreed insincerely.

Knowing that the young master was coming to the Lin residence, Lin Xiuyao was so happy she didn't know what to do! She had remembered that fleeting glimpse of him on Zhuque Street for many years, and today she finally had the chance to see him again!

Thinking of Qi Yanzhi's face, Lin Xiuyao blushed and buried herself in the blanket.

The mother said she would find a way to replace Lin Qingwei in the engagement and marry the prince!

How could she not be excited when her long-cherished wish was about to come true!

"Miss, get up and get ready! Don't keep the young master waiting!" Xiaohe said with a smile as she pulled Lin Xiuyao along.

Lin Xiuyao blushed and said coquettishly, "The young master didn't come to wait for me!"

"Even if they didn't come to wait for Miss, they must have come to break off the engagement with Miss!" Xiaohe snorted. "How can Miss compare to you? You're just a country bumpkin who doesn't know any manners and grew up in the manor!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyao's face also showed a hint of sarcasm. How could she be worthy of comparing herself to her?

"Did Mother send someone to inform my sister?"

"Of course, Madam thinks of Miss and puts her first in everything. No one has spoken to Qinghui Hall about it yet."

Lin Xiuyao admired her beautiful face reflected in the bronze mirror, slowly curving her lips into a smile, and said mercifully, "Such a big thing can't be left unattended by your older sister. How could I, as her younger sister, not tell her?"

After changing into her most gorgeous clothes and wearing her most exquisite jewelry, Lin Xiuyao raised her chin slightly and headed towards Qinghui Hall.

She didn't know why this person, who shouldn't have been there, would come back and take everything that belonged to her!

But it doesn't matter, Lin Qingwei will never be as good as her! Whether it's her parents' most beloved daughter, the title of a famous beauty in the capital, or her engagement to the prince, she will hold onto them firmly.

Thirteen years ago, she was able to drive Lin Qingwei away once, and thirteen years later, she can drive Lin Qingwei away a second time!

Standing in front of Qinghui Hall and looking inside, Lin Xiuyao saw that someone who shouldn't have returned was now living in her courtyard. The moment she saw Lin Qingwei, her face turned cold, but when the other looked over, she immediately put on an innocent and gentle smile.

"Why is my sister here?" Lin Qingwei remained seated, only raising her eyes to look at her.

Lin Xiuyao walked over gracefully, lifting her skirt, and gave her a proper bow, as if every strand of her hair was saying that Lin Qingwei was impolite and rude.

"My sister heard that the Duchess had brought the heir and was afraid that my sister would be sad, so she came to comfort her."

She was afraid Lin Qingwei wouldn't know that her words implied the Duke of Mu's mansion was going to break off the engagement, while she herself looked radiant, as if something good was about to happen.

Since that's the case, how could Lin Qingwei not satisfy her good sister's vanity?

The next second, Lin Qingwei's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. She shook her head frantically and grabbed Chunqi, saying in anguish, "This is impossible! This is impossible! How could the Crown Prince break off the engagement with me!"

Lin Xiuyao almost burst out laughing, but she still pretended to be worried, sitting next to Lin Qingwei and frowning as she comforted her good sister.

“We don’t want this to happen either, but the young master is adamant. He even brought the Duchess to visit us in person. I’m afraid he has already discussed this matter with my father and mother.”

Lin Qingwei frantically grabbed Lin Xiuyao's hand, staring at her helplessly, almost crying: "Sister, what should I do? I can't let the prince break off the engagement with me! I came back to the capital this time to fulfill my engagement with the prince. If he refuses to marry me, what will I do in the future?! Sister! Please help me think of a way!"

"Why don't you go and beg the Duchess? Kneel before her a few times or threaten to kill yourself? That way, the Duchess won't cancel your engagement with the Prince today, will she?" Lin Xiuyao said the most vicious words in the gentlest voice. "You can take a dagger, or if all else fails, hold it to the Duchess's neck to intimidate her."

Lin Qingwei looked at her helplessly: "Is this really okay?"

"Why not? The Duchess is the kindest of all; she would never want my sister to die." Lin Xiuyao placed the dagger she had prepared earlier into Lin Qingwei's palm.

"When you see the Duchess, don't say a word. Just kneel down and start kowtowing as hard as you can. That'll show your sincerity. If the Duchess is still adamant, pull out a dagger and hold it to her neck. Once you see blood, who will dare to break off the engagement?"

A malicious glint flashed in Lin Xiuyao's eyes. It wasn't that she didn't believe in her mother's help, but things had to be done perfectly.

Lin Qingwei was indeed quite beautiful. Although she didn't believe that the young master was a superficial person who only cared about appearances, she was still afraid that it would cause more trouble. After all, when she first saw Lin Qingwei, she thought she was a young lady from a wealthy family.

The dagger that was given to Lin Qingwei was poisoned. Even if it didn't cut her skin, just touching it would cause her skin to rot. If she didn't wash it off with plenty of water in time, the poison would corrode the entire area of ​​her skin!

She shouldn't have come back in the first place; she got off easy these last two days!
