The Birth Of A Villainess

Lin Xiaofei hadn\'t expected that before she could step inside Yu Fangzhu\'s residence, she had to listen to the cruel ways of the previous Lin Xiaofei.

She didn\'t think that it would be this horrible. For a young girl to buy a love manual…

Wouldn\'t this make anyone think that Lin Xiaomeng failed to guide his granddaughter properly?

Shaking her head, Lin Xiaofei forced the questions that bubbled up in her throat. She had better urgent things to do. They\'re almost at the Fourth Prince\'s residence and being nonplussed would make her look like a fool.

She had no intention of looking like a foolish young girl and she certainly doesn\'t want to waste this visit just because of the fact that Liu Shishi revealed to her.

"Did Qu Xing Xu asked you to come with me?" She quickly changed the topic as it would only do her no good to continue it with this girl.

Liu Shishi nodded, "Although he didn\'t personally ask me, he did send someone to tell my father. Grandfather was so shocked at the news and quickly went to the Lin family and asked General about the details.. But I bet, my grandfather went there to gossip."

Popping a date in her mouth, Liu Shishi stared at Lin Xiaofei before asking, "Why are you going to another man\'s house? Won\'t your duke feel jealous because of this?"

He won\'t. That was what Lin Xiaofei intended to say at first but after remembering the intoxicating taste of their lips colliding, she couldn\'t help but shook her head to keep the memories away. "He already asked if he should come with me." Seeing that Liu Shishi wanted to speak, Lin Xiaofei raised a hand to stop her, "I\'m not taking him out with me. It\'s not as if I\'m going out to a rendezvous with another man."

"Hmm…" was what Liu Shishi only replied. The answer she was looking for was not delivered to her so she was dissatisfied.

But Liu Shishi didn\'t miss the fact that Lin Xiaofei didn\'t try to denounce her when she said \'your duke\'. It seems that there was a chance for her childhood friend to completely wrap the Duke inside her palms.

…

The carriage stopped when they reached the gates of the Fourth Prince\'s residence.

The tall iron gates stood intimidatingly in front. The two guards standing on either side of the closed gate barely looked at their carriage.

A servant from the Qu residence stepped forward, he held his hand out with the token of the Duke of Xin.

Seeing the token, the guards immediately clasped their hands in front of their chests and bowed to show their respect to the owner of the token. Then they opened the gates.

Inside the carriage, Lin Xiaofei\'s eyes turned blank. The emotions whirling inside it turned stagnant the moment the carriage went past inside the gates before the gates closed behind them.

Someone announced their arrival and when the curtain of the carriage was lifted, Liu Shishi was the first one to come down the carriage. She was wearing a yellow dress with her hair tied up into a fairy hairstyle. Jade hairpins adorned her hair while a cloud jade bangle was on her wrist.

Everyone at the front entrance was instantly drawn at her refreshing beauty and childlike innocence.

The person who followed suit after Liu Shishi was Lin Xiaofei. She was wearing a black dress with blue patterns that shaped into tiny flowers across her sleeves and lapel. Her hair was simply styled with half of it hanging behind her back while the other half was braided and twisted into a bun.

Upon seeing her, everyone who stood close enough to get a glimpse of her face was rendered speechless. They were dazzled at her peerless beauty that they couldn\'t take their eyes off her.

This was probably the one thing that Qu Xing Xu wanted to avoid hence he proposed to come along. He didn\'t like people staring at her but he couldn\'t tie her up since Lin Xiaofei would hate him if he did that.

"Miss Lin and Miss Liu, welcome to the fourth prince\'s residence." An older servant stepped forward after he finally recovered from being dazzled by the two ladies. "Let me guide you to the receiving hall." He said.

Lin Xiaofei coldly swept her eyes at him. Her clenched hand turned white upon seeing his face. Recognizing Tan Feng, the old attendant whom she treated well while she was still a concubine.

However, the old man repaid her by handing her to Yu Fangzhu\'s mother who in turn made her drink medicine to lose her ability to give birth to a child.

Despite her desire to stab the man and cut him into ribbons, Lin Xiaofei had to consider her position. Liu Shishi was just right beside her and if Lin Xiaofei ended up killing someone, Liu Shishi would be involved in the chaos.

The girl was innocent and had nothing to do with her revenge or past life, she didn\'t deserve to end up dying because of a moment of anger and hatred clouding Lin Xiaofei\'s senses.

Lin Xiaofei closed her eyes. She collected her reeking anger and opened her eyes once more when she finally contained it inside her.

They followed the old attendant towards the corridor. It didn\'t take them long to reach the receiving hall.

There, they saw a woman seated at the highest chair on the dais. She slightly looked matured as the years of being married affected her face and body. But the elegance that she showed seemed to make some ladies envy her. But Lin Xiaofei knew that the elegance the woman was showing was forced.

"Welcome, ladies." Concubine didn\'t stand up from her chair. She was definitely showing her authority in the residence. And after seeing how beautiful these two young ladies who came to visit, she couldn\'t help but feel jealous of their beauty and was threatened by them.

She wanted to avoid letting Yu Fangzhu meet these young ladies. She didn\'t want him to take more young ladies to his residence and add more rivals for his affection.

As the two young ladies approached her, Concubine Shang tipped her chin upward. She couldn\'t wait to see how these young ladies would conduct themselves and bow to her.

And just when her smile could broaden, she didn\'t see one of the young ladies bowing to her.
