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

"What are you dawdling about, Miss Lin! You, lend her a hand!"

Zhao Huarong pointed at the little eunuch standing by the lotus pond. The little eunuch was startled, fearing that Zhao Huarong would take her anger out on him, and reached out to push Lin Qingwei down.

There is a thick layer of silt at the bottom of the lotus pond. If a person accidentally falls into it, it could be life-threatening!

Lin Qingwei naturally couldn't just stand there and let others bully her. Her goal was to create a misunderstanding between Xu Hanzhang and Zhao Huarong, no matter how big the misunderstanding was.

That's why she deliberately used her old handwriting to complete the exam paper; she didn't believe Xu Hanzhang would remain unmoved upon seeing it.

Whether out of fear, doubt, or regret, Xu Hanzhang would want to ask herself clearly, and this is her best chance.

The relationship between Xu Hanzhang and Zhao Huarong is not so unbreakable. She will gradually dismantle the two of them and put them on the opposite side. I wonder how exciting this scene will be!

The young eunuch missed his target and almost stumbled and fell. He knew that the young lady beside him was the eldest daughter of Minister Lin and the fiancée of the Duke's heir, and her status was not low. So he pretended to be injured and fell to the side, not daring to make any further moves.

"Why is Your Highness so angry?" Zhao Yuanjia became interested. Wasn't Zhao Huarong originally helping Lin Qingwei? Why does she now seem to want to kill her?

She then looked at Xu Hanzhang, whose face was full of anxiety: "Scholar Xu has always been self-disciplined and respectful of etiquette, so it is only right that he considers things more carefully. It was just that I was in a moment of playfulness and neglected etiquette."

Zhao Yuanjia waved his hand and ordered someone to help Lin Qingwei up. Zhao Huarong saw Xu Hanzhang's relieved and concerned expression, and she was so angry that she trembled all over. No one saw how she rushed to Lin Qingwei's side, kicked away the eunuch who was supporting Lin Qingwei, and then pushed Lin Qingwei into the lotus pond.

"Ah Wan!" Xu Hanzhang called out the name subconsciously.

As Lin Qingwei fell, she grabbed Zhao Huarong's sleeve, and before Zhao Huarong could regain her balance, she pulled her down into the lotus pond.

The palace maids and eunuchs nearby were terrified and jumped into the lotus pond to rescue her. Xu Hanzhang ran to the lotus pond anxiously searching for Lin Qingwei's figure. When he saw her veil fall down, revealing her entire face, he froze, motionless like a wooden doll.

Exactly the same, exactly the same!

How can there be people in this world who look exactly alike?

His Awan didn't die, did she? It must be his Awan!

Zhao Yuanjia clapped his hands with delight! This Lin Qingwei is truly a remarkable person! She managed to make her dear imperial sister suffer such a great loss! It's simply fantastic!

"Quickly, get Miss Lin out of here! If anything happens to her, I won't let you off the hook!" Zhao Yuanjia skipped and hopped to the edge of the lotus pond, directing the rescue efforts.

Lin Qingwei and Zhao Huarong were not far apart in the muddy lotus pond. Zhao Huarong glared at Lin Qingwei and, disregarding their status and pride, reached out to push Lin Qingwei into the mud.

Lin Qingwei looked at Zhao Huarong in fear: "Princess, please forgive me! I really didn't mean it!"

Enraged, Zhao Huarong wouldn't listen to anything. Not to mention that Lin Qingwei had dragged her into this mess, Xu Hanzhang's concern for her was enough to make her want to kill him.

She belongs to him from head to toe, and her heart and eyes can only hold him alone!

"When did you meet Xu Hanzhang?! Why did he stand up for you?!"

"This humble woman truly had no idea! This is the first time this humble woman has met Scholar Xu!"

Zhao Huarong wouldn't listen to a word. Unable to reach Lin Qingwei, she grabbed mud and threw it at Lin Qingwei's face, cursing her as a slut. Zhao Yuanjia couldn't help but laugh out loud at the sight!

Only then did Xu Hanzhang realize what was happening, and reluctantly turned his gaze from Lin Qingwei's face to Zhao Huarong.

"Quickly, save the princess!"

Zhao Huarong glared at him, her anger blazing: "You only remember me now! Xu Hanzhang, you've really grown some nerve!"

Most people went to Zhao Huarong's aid, and she quickly escaped the quagmire. However, Lin Qingwei was still stuck in the mud. Zhao Huarong immediately ordered everyone not to bother with Lin Qingwei.

But Zhao Yuanjia insisted on opposing her: "How can we ignore this? Miss Lin originally meant well by catching fish for me. How can Your Majesty take your anger out on Miss Lin because of Scholar Xu's matter?"

Seeing Zhao Huarong's splendid clothes stained with mud, and her body reeking of decay after just a few steps, looking as wretched as a beggar, Zhao Yuanjia couldn't help but smile.

It's been so long since we've seen Zhao Huarong get her comeuppance!

"I intend to take my anger out on her," Zhao Huarong declared, refusing to back down.

She glanced at Xu Hanzhang, whose face was somewhat pale, and a cruel smile curled at the corner of her lips: "What, is Lord Xu feeling sorry for you again?"

again.

This was a warning. The last time Zhao Huarong said those words, he was forced to bury Yun Ciwan alive...

"Your Highness, I only feel sorry for you." Xu Hanzhang frowned slightly, his already tender eyes becoming even more affectionate as he took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the dirt off Zhao Huarong's face.

"There's no need to upset yourself over someone else. I'm pleading for Miss Lin because I'm worried about Your Highness."

"Really?" Zhao Huarong didn't believe it.

Xu Hanzhang spoke sincerely: "Of course, I have only met Miss Lin once, so why would I bother with her? I was just worried that the princess's actions would anger His Majesty, so I came to remind him."

"Miss Lin's identity is no simple matter; she is not only the daughter of a high-ranking official but also the fiancée of the Duke's heir. The princess's actions might cause the Duke's family to lose face. Moreover, I've heard that the Heir Apparent Qi happens to be in the palace today."

What he said was true. Zhao Huarong could disregard Lin Zhengwen, but she couldn't disrespect Duke Mu.

Lin Qingwei, who had been soaking in the lotus pond for a long time, was not in a hurry at all. She listened quietly to their conversation. Xu Hanzhang was still as good at coaxing people as he was in his previous life. No matter what the reason was, he could always bring it up as being for Zhao Huarong's good.

Seeing that Zhao Huarong was so easily appeased and stopped throwing a tantrum, Zhao Yuanjia felt a little unsatisfied. He thought that Xu Hanzhang cared a lot about Lin Qingwei, and he could use this to provoke Zhao Huarong a few more times. However, he thought that this person could still be kept.

After all, she had never seen anyone make Zhao Huarong so angry!

She looked at Lin Qingwei, who was still in the lotus pond. She was about to look away, but the fact that Lin Qingwei's face was now fully exposed made her look at him a few more times.

Why does he look so familiar? Who does he resemble?

Xu Hanzhang dared not persuade Zhao Huarong to rescue Lin Qingwei any further. Knowing Zhao Huarong's possessiveness towards him, he could only keep changing the subject and showing concern for her health.

It was also his own fault for being so distracted by Yun Ciwan's handwriting that he completely forgot that he was no longer the husband who could care about her.

He glanced at Lin Qingwei almost imperceptibly, his heart pounding wildly.

He was certain that this person was Yun Ciwan. No one in the world knew her better than him. No matter what the reason was for her becoming the eldest daughter of the Lin family, as long as she was still alive, that was enough.
