The Birth Of A Villainess

When Lin Xiaofei got back to the Lin family residence, she ordered every servant in her courtyard to not disturb her and shooed them away.

After closing the door and hearing the sound of footsteps of the servants walking away, Lin Xiaofei felt her energy being drained as her whole body and sat limply on the ground.

The room was already lit with a scented candle and made the room warm but the pain in her heart chilled her to the bones.

The reason she went to Bai Hua Lou was to see how Chu Chu was doing as well as to discuss the matters of the box that she stole from Concubine Xian. However, when she saw her friend in that kind of state where she\'s neither living and dead, Lin Xiaofei didn\'t know where she could turn to and cry.

She badly wanted to confide to Chu Chu and tell her she was \'Xiaofei \', but knowing that it will only agitate Chu Chu, Lin Xiaofei didn\'t continue with her plan.

Who would believe that she was rebirthed and became Lin Xiaofei anyway?

But seeing her only friend who was with her for a long time acting like this, it broke Lin Xiaofei.

The tears in her eyes flooded down her cheeks.. She tried to cover up the gasps of pain and sorrow from escaping from her mouth with the use of her hands and had a hard time calming herself down.

She continued like this for several minutes.

Her whole life was a mess because of poverty when she was young and her life after marrying Yu Fangzhu wasn\'t much different from before. She was still fighting for survival, looking for a place to belong, and her heart still bled for longing.

It was still alright when it was only her who was hurting but Yu Fangzhu didn\'t spare Chu Chu. She didn\'t know the details of what really happened to Chu Chu but knowing Yu Fangzhu\'s method, he must have sent some people to drive a knife to her heart using their words and stories of Xiaofei\'s ending.

She lost a lot of things from her previous life and keeping her emotions and sanity was a difficult task even after rebirth.

And with what happened today, Lin Xiaofei felt so helpless.

After a few more minutes, Lin Xiaofei weakly stood up and laid on her bed without changing her clothes.

Forcing herself to sleep the pain away.

…

In the Western Courtyard.

Song Yan Yi and the First Madam, Wu Jing Yan, were having a light snack in the Second Lin family\'s courtyard.

The Second branch\'s courtyard was where Song Yan Yi and Lin Sang lived with their two children.

Their courtyard was lavish and full of vibrance compared to the Eastern Courtyard where Lin Xiaomeng was staying. There were several antiques and furniture that adorned the courtyard, making it possible for one to tell that Second Lin Family was keeping a good image of being a high-ranking noble family.

However, the First Madam, Wu Jing Yan was from the First courtyard and the opposite from the Second courtyard so, why was she with the Second Madam at this hour?

When Song Yan Yi went to the Eastern courtyard, the words of her clashing with Lin Xiaofei was spread immediately like fire. Everyone in the Lin residence already knew of this but the entire detail about what really transpired in the Eastern Courtyard, thus, Wu Jing Yan came to ask.

"Second Furen, is it really true that the Chu family broke off the engagement?" Wu Jing Yan asked the smile on her face contradicts the worried tone of her voice.

The matter of breaking off the engagement was already out in the open after the servants in the Lin residence gossiped about it while working and Son Yan Yi also didn\'t conceal it as she said, "Yes, I also heard about this from father. It\'s a piece of sad news to know that Fourth Young Miss might not marry because of this."

"It is indeed awful news." Wu Jing Yan took a sip from her cup and continued, "But this is good news for us."

When Song Yan Yi heard this, she raised her eyebrows but didn\'t oppose her comment.

With Lin Xiaofei\'s engagement ruined, Lin Xiaofei would no longer be able to find a good high-ranking noble family to marry.

For the past years, both the first and second branch of the family was having a headache with the matter of Lin Xiaofei\'s engagement with the Chu family\'s Di son.

They couldn\'t move when they knew that both Lin Xiaomeng and the Chu family was with Lin Xiaofei, but, with the news of the engagement broken off, both the first and second branch was extremely happy since there was one burden lifted from their shoulders and now, they could be more upfront when dealing with Lin Xiaofei.

"This is also a good time to do something." Wu Jing Yan suddenly said to which Song Yan Yi asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Both the first madam and second madam has been buddies when it comes to scheming, they were like sisters after spending almost two decades inside the Lin residence.

And their relationship was naturally not bad that they would tell each other of their wicked schemes especially when it has something to do with dealing with Lin Xiaofei.

Thus, Wu Jing Yan didn\'t hide her evil intentions and told Song Yan Yi.

A few minutes later, Song Yan Yi also smiled along with Wu Jing Yan, their sinister smiles was becoming more evident as they continued to talk.
