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

In the front hall of the Lin residence, Ye Qinxuan handed the family letter to Madam Ye, her face showing a calm, gentle smile.

Her smile was different from Lin Xiuyao's fake, affected, and calculating smile; it was a smile that made people want to get close to her.

Ye Qinxuan exuded a unique and undeniable confidence befitting a noblewoman from the capital. Her posture was humble yet showed no sign of servility. With her chin slightly raised, she revealed her beautiful shoulder and neck lines, and her every move was elegant and captivating.

Her earrings, hair ornaments, and the hem of her skirt did not sway much from the movement of her hands.

No matter who is here, they cannot point out any faults in her.

Ye Qinxuan: "I heard that my aunt has placed my second sister under house arrest?"

The unhurried words made Ye Shi a little nervous. She took the letter and couldn't help but tremble when she saw the name on it. Ye Qinxuan really looked just like her father.

"It can't be called confinement. Yao'er is not well and should rest and recuperate in the courtyard."

Ye Qinxuan smiled gently, her laughter was very pleasant: "Aunt is right. Please take a look at the letter Father wrote to you. I'm afraid I'll be bothering you at the manor for many days this time."

"I'm so happy you could come," said Madam Ye, though her smile remained unwavering.

To her, everyone in the Ye family was an invisible pressure; even a junior member made her feel uneasy.

Upon opening the letter, the tone was as commanding as ever. It stated that the Lin family had hired a matron from the palace to teach Lin Qingwei manners. Coincidentally, Ye Qinxuan was also going to the palace to accompany her studies. Since the two families were related by marriage, Ye Qinxuan should be taken into consideration. Before going to the palace, Ye Qinxuan was to stay at the Lin residence and learn manners with Lin Qingwei, so that they could keep each other company in the future.

The letter continued with warnings that Madam Ye should remember the Ye family's kindness in raising her and not forget her roots, which made her tremble all over.

Ye Qinxuan's gaze held a hint of disdain as she lowered her eyes to observe Ye Shi's expression.

A concubine's daughter is just a concubine's daughter. She's only a little luckier, marrying a man with a promising future. Does she think she can live a carefree life after leaving the Ye family? She really doesn't know how to be grateful! Truly a lowly concubine's daughter!

"Where is Qingwei? I haven't met her yet."

Ye clenched her fist, carefully put the letter away, and looked up with a smile: "I've already sent someone to call them, they'll be here soon."

Ye Qinxuan was genuinely curious about what kind of person could scheme against her arrogant cousin.

Although Lin Xiuyao was indeed spoiled and not very bright, she was still often mentioned with her name. She lost to a wild girl from the countryside, and her own value was diminished as a result.

She wrote a frantic letter asking for help, which made her laugh! It really piqued her curiosity.

In fact, Lin Qingwei could have arrived much earlier, but Xiao He and a large group of Ye family maids, who appeared out of nowhere, brought countless pieces of jewelry and clothes, insisting that Lin Qingwei dress up beautifully before going over.

Chunqi couldn't stop them, and was surrounded by a group of fragrant little maids who forced her to change into a pale yellow dress and put many pearl flowers in her hair.

She managed to transform a ruthless female assassin into a delicate young girl.

Chunqi was wearing layers of clothes that were so tight she felt like she couldn't even lift her arms. She begged everyone to let her untie the belt that was supposed to strangle her.

Spring greetings.

Hearing Lin Qingwei's voice, she turned around and was truly surprised!

Lin Qingwei doesn't like to be too flamboyant, so she usually wears light colors that are not too eye-catching, such as moon white, sky blue, and light blue. These colors are indeed simple and elegant and suit Lin Qingwei very well.

But it must be said that the Ye family has a very good eye!

At this moment, Lin Qingwei was wearing a light pink long dress with dense gold thread and acacia flowers, with matching velvet flowers on her head, plus a gemstone-encrusted butterfly and double flower hairpin. She looked completely refreshed and had a shy beauty that seemed about to bloom.

The skirt wasn't made of any light or thin fabric; when the wind blew gently, the hem fluttered, giving the impression that it was about to ride the wind away, like a fairy.

"Miss!!! You're so beautiful!!!" Chunqi was stunned.

Lin Qingwei said, "Thank you. You look beautiful too. The pale yellow color suits you very well. You should wear bright clothes like this more often."

Xiaohe looked Lin Qingwei up and down and said with great satisfaction, "It's getting late, let's go see Miss Ye quickly."

Ye Qinxuan was getting impatient. It was always others who waited for her, never the other way around. This Lin Qingwei was indeed from the countryside and didn't know the rules. She wondered what methods she had used to make the Ye family, who doted on Lin Xiuyao, choose her.

"Aunt, is something holding up Qingwei?" Ye Qinxuan maintained her smile, but there was no hint of amusement in her eyes, which was quite obvious.

She looked down on her aunt, Ye, who was born out of wedlock, but she had to abide by etiquette and speak to her as a junior.

Madam Ye was also very anxious. On one hand, there was Ye Qinxuan, whom she had to treat with great deference, and on the other hand, there was Lin Qingwei, whom she couldn't afford to offend. If she had known that the Ye family would one day allow Ye Qinxuan to stay at the Lin residence, she would definitely have treated Lin Qingwei better...

"The young lady has arrived!!!" Xiao He's voice rang out just in time, and Madam Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Qinxuan turned her head to look, and she did indeed seem somewhat expectant.

The girl in front of me was tall, but apart from being tall, she was not good at anything. Her appearance could only be described as having regular features, but her eyes, nose and mouth were too ordinary. She would not be recognized if she were thrown into a crowd.

And these hands, they're obviously rough from too much farm work!

She took such big steps as she entered that the hairpins on her head clanged loudly!

She doesn't act like a lady at all.

Chunqi keenly caught the disdainful look cast at her from the front, turned around speechlessly, and extended her hand. Lin Qingwei gently placed her hand on hers, stepped over the threshold, and walked steadily to Ye Shi.

The flowers outside the door were in full bloom, but they paled in comparison to Lin Qingwei. She was a vibrant pink, and every step she took was captivating. Unlike Lin Xiuyao, she didn't put on airs or act coquettishly, but she possessed a charm that no one else could imitate.

Ye Qinxuan gripped the cup tightly in her hand, her face remaining calm and composed, with a gentle and proper smile. With just one glance, she knew that the person in front of her was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Lin Qingwei walked over leisurely and bowed with the most standard etiquette: "Greetings to Mother, and best wishes to Mother."

Ye glanced at Ye Qinxuan's slightly open mouth and shocked eyes, then stepped forward and happily helped Lin Qingwei up, her smile wide! This was truly the first time she had ever liked Lin Qingwei so much!

"Come, greet your cousin Qinxuan." Madam Ye affectionately took Lin Qingwei's hand.

"Greetings, cousin. Qingwei is late, please forgive me!"
