The Birth Of A Villainess

After spending a few hours inside Lin Xiaofei's room, Qu xing Xu, who wanted to stay a bit longer and even stay for the night, was finally forcefully evicted by Lin Xiaofei.

Lin Xiaofei then walked to the side courtyard where Chu Chu lives. She ignored the callings of her maids who were confused with her actions only to see that their young miss wasn't in the mood. Thus, they no longer followed her to the side courtyard.

"What happened to the young miss? She was alright when she returned and even when she met the fifth prince, she didn't seem to be that angry." Bai Lu frowned.

Su Tang replied, "Young Miss must be feeling lonely since the duke has not returned yet. Let her be. She needed a friend whom she can express herself anyway."

Bai Lu nodded at her words. As maids, although they could stay with their miss closer than anyone, there are sometimes that their young miss would hide her thoughts and actions from them.. Bai Lu and Su Tang might not have noticed the secretive things that Lin Xiaofei has done but they knew that their young miss needed a friend whom she could share everything with them.

Young Lady Liu for example. Bai Lu had seen the young lady with their young miss and saw how Lin Xiaofei acted with her. Despite being a little bit cold, Lin Xiaofei would show two or more expressions on her face.

But the two maids didn't think that Lin XIaofei was able to show some reactions because every time she met Liu Shishi, the latter would always try to shake her by mentioning her past deeds.

When Lin Xiaofei entered Chu Chu's courtyard, she was ready to raise hell and scold her friend for recommending her that book. But when she arrived there and saw what the lady in question was doing, she stopped in her tracks.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

Chu Chu was standing on top of the table across the room. She was wearing less than usual with only her upper undergarment on and a thin skirt. Her hair hanging behind her back like a flowing waterfall.

Upon hearing a voice behind her, Chu Chu turned back, startled to see someone entering her bedroom when she clearly told everyone who worked in her courtyard to not let anyone in. But thankfully, the person who came wasn't just anyone but Lin Xiaofei.

"You scared me." Chu Chu said while patting her drumming heart. "What are you doing here? She soon asked after getting off the table.

She sashayed towards her and Lin Xiaofei fought hard to not roll her eyes at her. Even though she already left Bai Hua Luo, Chu Chu seemed to want to annoy her with the sultry way of walking of a woman from the brothel.

Holding up the book that she hid in her sleeve, Lin Xiaofei gritted her teeth as she said, "What is this?"

"A book." Chu Chu answered as a matter of factly.

"Do you know what is in this book and still gave it to me?" Lin Xiaofei asked.

Shrugging her shoulders, Chu Chu smiled before she replied, "Why? Did you like it? Did it make your blood pump faster?"

Lin Xiaofei stared at her in disbelief.

"It didn't?" Chu Chu sounded shocked seeing that irritated look on Lin Xiaofei's face.

She was sure that this book was the trend and every young ladies would go crazy after reading it. It was a book that contained things that could ban it from being published but young ladies raved to read thus the publishers in the capital wasn't able to ban it from being spread across the empire.

Even Chu Chu, who liked reading s fell in love with the romance between the nobleman in the and the female lead.

Was it too much for her? Thought Chu Chu to herself. Well, it wasn't that surprising since the moment she saw Lin Xiaofei, she guessed that she was a stuck-up noble young lady who never explored things herself.

But Lin Xiaofei was to marry the duke in two days. It would be quite helpful for her to know some things before the wedding night.

With that in thought, Chu Chu ignored Lin Xiaofei who was shooting daggers in her way using her eyes and walked to the wooden chest near the bed. She opened it and took out another book that has a red cover. Then, she handed it to Lin Xiaofei while taking the book in her hand.

"I'm guessing that this book was not good enough for you. Here, I'll lend this new one to you. I heard it's a bit more detailed and interesting to read." She held Lin Xiaofei's shoulders and lightly pushed her to the door, "Return it to me when you're done reading since I haven't read this book from the series yet."

"Wait… That's not wha-" Lin Xiaofei didn't get to say what she wanted to say as Chu Chu already pushed her out of the door.

"Just be sure to read it carefully and learn a lot from it. Next time when we meet again, tell me your thoughts about it."

'Bang.'

The door closed before her eyes and Lin Xiaofei took a few seconds to collect herself and realize that she was just thrown out of the room and given a book that she had a feeling that it was a bit more disturbing than the first book she borrowed from Chu Chu.

Feeling a little bit dazed and attacked by both Qu Xing Xu and Chu Chu, Lin Xiaofei returned to her courtyard.

When she passed by her maids, who stood at the door, Lin Xiaofei finally snapped out from her thoughts as she heard Su Tang asking,

"Did you borrow another book from Miss Chu, young miss?"

Lin Xiaofei stiffly looked down at the book in her hand before snatching it away from their prying gaze, "No… I stopped by the library and got it from there."

Without waiting for them to ask her another round of questions, Lin Xiaofei slipped inside her room. But before she could completely disappear inside, she heard Su Tang mumbling.

"Why does that book in her hand looked so familiar?"
