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

Aunt Liu had no ambitions and was quite satisfied with her current life. She was originally just a lowly maid, and she was already very content with her current position.

Over the years, I've been both terrified and frightened by Lin Shuhui's influence. I started advising her as early as when she proposed entering the palace, but Lin Shuhui wouldn't listen and kept coaxing me into a daze.

Now that their concerns have been resolved, there is absolutely no need to take any more risks.

To put it bluntly, she was a concubine of lowly birth, and her daughter was also an illegitimate daughter. It was already quite good that she wasn't targeted and suppressed by the madam. So what if she entered the palace?

With so many well-bred and beautiful young ladies from prestigious families, can Lin Shuhui really make it big?

Aunt Liu advised again: "But you are just a concubine's daughter. I don't have the ability to find you a good marriage. Young Master Liu is already very good. If you marry him, you will at least be the principal wife and won't have to be subservient to others. Even if you are favored by a nobleman in the palace, you can only be a concubine with your status."

It was precisely because she herself had become someone's concubine that Aunt Liu wanted her daughter to become a proper wife.

But Lin Shuhui countered, "If you had the chance to do it all over again, would you still choose to betray your wife and become your father's concubine?"

She was speechless, unable to refute a single word, because if given the chance again, Aunt Liu would still choose to seduce Lin Zhengwen.

Some social classes can only be crossed through this method; otherwise, she would still be just a maidservant, and if she were to marry any servant, her children would still have to serve as slaves.

"Therefore, I will never marry a man who needs to struggle half his life to get ahead. Why should he make me wait?"

Lin Shuhui's gaze turned cold. She would not sit idly by and wait for her fate, nor would she accept it. Her future could only be grasped in her own hands...

"What are you planning to do?" Aunt Liu was still a little worried.

Lin Zhengwen had finalized the decision, and there was nothing wrong with the other party, so how could they refuse?

Lin Shuhui smiled and said, "Let's hold back for now and let them lower their guard. After all, as the younger sister, I can't possibly get married before my older sisters."

Who knows what might happen over such a long period of time?

The next day, under Ye's arrangement, Lin Shuhui and Young Master Liu met. The two got along very well and got engaged almost without any surprises.

After resolving a major issue, Madam Ye was overjoyed and bestowed many gifts upon Lin Shuhui. Lin Shuhui outwardly accepted them with trepidation, but inwardly she was extremely critical.

The things sent by Madam Ye weren't bad, but they were far inferior to what Lin Xiuyao and Lin Qingwei had. This time, they couldn't dress too shabbily when entering the palace like before.

Fortunately, Lin Shuhui had saved up a lot of money over the years. She gritted her teeth and took it all out, secretly leaving the mansion to make two clothes for herself. When Ye Shi found out, she was not angry at all. Instead, she selected two of the best pieces of fabric from the ones she had given to Lin Xiuyao and gave them to Lin Shuhui.

Ten days passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was time to enter the palace again.

This time, entering the palace was different from before. It marked the beginning of a formal companionship program, during which time the child had to live in the palace and could only leave the palace on holidays.

Needless to say, Lin Xiuyao packed a whole car full of bags and packages. All her clothes combined were enough for her to change three times a day and not repeat a single outfit for a month. Lin Shuhui also put in all her effort to bring everything she could.

Lin Qingwei was the only one who brought only one bundle.

Before getting on the bus, Lin Xiuyao was still advising Lin Qingwei to bring more pretty clothes, but she regretted it as soon as she got off.

Because they needed to carry their own belongings to Yongning Palace, and there was only one eunuch leading the way, he naturally couldn't help them carry these things.

The three sisters were thus delayed.

Looking at the small mountain she had built, Lin Xiuyao suddenly felt an urge to die.

Lian'er couldn't possibly carry all these things by herself, and she couldn't possibly move them herself. What if they got lost if no one watched them?

"You help me carry it," Lin Xiuyao said, pointing to Lin Shuhui's maid, Yingyue.

Yingyue's hands were already full, and she said with difficulty, "Second Miss, I can't carry any more. Why don't you let Peizhi help you?"

Lin Xiuyao dared not order the maidservants around Lin Qingwei, and was about to lash out when Yingyue declined.

"Second Miss, you're really quite impressive!"

The person who came was Song Miaoyan. She still had an arrogant attitude. She walked up to Lin Shuhui and said, "You're just too kind, that's why you're always bullied by these shady people in the manor!"

Lin Shuhui waved her hands in a panic: "No, no, Second Sister didn't bully me! Thank you, Princess, for standing up for me."

Song Miaoyan pulled Lin Shuhui along, saying, "Why are you thanking me between us? If you hadn't protected me that day, I would have been stung to death by bees!"

Lin Qingwei didn't want to get involved in these matters, and she was too lazy to wait for them to finish exchanging pleasantries. After taking her things from the carriage, she followed the little eunuch forward. She hadn't broken off her engagement with Qi Yanzhi, and Song Miaoyan might take the opportunity to make things difficult for her. Staying here would only lead to countless troubles.

She didn't enter the palace to be a punching bag for certain people.

Pei-Chih quickly followed with her small bundle, but Song Miao-Yan never intended to let Lin Qing-Wei leave so easily.

She always felt that the day she and Lin Shuhui were chased and stung by bees must have been related to Lin Qingwei!

With a single glance, the maid beside her quickly stepped forward, grabbed the bundle Peizhi was carrying, and threw it into the water. Peizhi was pulled and almost fell over. She turned around and glared angrily at Wenwen.

"what are you doing?"

Wenwen, acting on Song Miaoyan's orders, wasn't afraid at all: "I didn't do anything! It was clearly your own slip of the hand!"

Pei-Chih is not a good-tempered person. She kicked Wen-Wen into the water and then innocently spread her hands, saying, "Oops, my foot slipped."

Seeing Wenwen fall into the water, Song Miaoyan was furious. As expected of a country girl, she knew no manners at all! How dare she lay a hand on her people!

She raised her hand and walked towards Lin Qingwei, but this time Lin Qingwei would not obediently let her hit her. She timed it perfectly and kicked the person into the water.

Song Miaoyan crashed into the water, creating a huge splash. She was completely stunned, then screamed, "Lin Qingwei! Are you crazy!"

"I'm not crazy. Please pick up my things and return them to me, or I won't mind letting more people see you in this sorry state."

Many palace maids and eunuchs were peeking in this direction, whispering among themselves.

Song Miaoyan had never been so humiliated. She hated Lin Qingwei so much that she wished she could tear her tendons out and drink her blood. Lin Shuhui lay on the shore with a worried look on her face.

"Princess, are you alright? My sister definitely didn't mean it!"

Lin Qingwei crossed her arms: "I did it on purpose. Sister, you don't need to explain for me. I know you're worried about me, but there's no need to lie to the county princess, is there?"

Lin Shuhui's lips twitched. Who wants to explain for you...?
