The Birth Of A Villainess

"You…" Yu Xuan Li was speechless at his sister's stupidity.

Even their mother was shocked and looked at Princess Gao with a displeased eyes. However, because both of them knew that the princess was poisoned and cannot be triggered carelessly lest they accidentally killed her because of this, they didn't scold her further and only sighed.

Killing the entire household of a servant was nothing new to them and because of that, they couldn't really find fault at her actions. Besides, this was their blood-related sibling and daughter, they couldn't hurt her just because of a filthy maid and her poor family.

"Alright. Since it is like so, I might as well look for an antidote to the poison inside your body." Yu Xuan Li bowed his head to his mother and was ready to leave to look for an antidote when Princess Gao's voice suddenly asked behind him.

"Wait, brother. Did you hear of any news inside General Lin's residence?"

"General Lin?" Concubine Min looked down at her daughter's pale and thin face.. "Why are you concerned about General Lin?"

The Imperial family no longer holds the Lin family important but only in appearance to get the hearts of the people. And Concubine Min's family was also not involved with the Lin family, hence, it was strange for Princess Gao to be concerned about the wellbeing of General Lin, much less the Lin family.

Princess Gao didn't seem to see their shock and nonchalantly said, "Well, I'm only curious. I heard that he also drank the same poison that is inside my body. If they found a way to create the antidote, we can just take it from them. It is their great honor to help the royal family anyway. And if General Lin has already found the antidote, doesn't that mean that the more we should press them to give the antidote?"

Princess Gao's voice rang loud and clear. Her wordings were not full of errors. However, if Lin Xiaofei heard this, she would probably laugh until there were tears in the corner of her eyes at how shameless and stupid Princess Gao was. Princess Gao forgot that she was the cause of this event to turn this way.

Even if she did it because of her hatred and jealousy to Lin Xiaofei's imminent wedding with the handsome and sought-after bachelor in the capital, Duke of Xin, Qu Xing Xu, it didn't give her any right to create fire and think that she can leave unscathed.

And since this fire that she created was pointed at Lin Xiaomeng, Lin Xiaofei naturally wouldn't let this opportunity to cut off the two princesses from her To-Kill-List while also letting them taste of their own doings.

Hearing her say this, Yu Xuan Li couldn't help but frown once again, "Sister, what do you mean? Where did you hear this baseless rumor?"

The news about the poisoning of General Lin was not widely spread. Not even the rest of the Lin family had the knowledge about it, thus, upon hearing her say this, Yu Xuan Li was shocked.

"Baseless rumor?" Princess Gao laughed as she continued, "How can it be baseless rumor, brother? I made sure that the old grass would choke out of his life soon. Even that sl*t told me before she poisoned me and my younger sister that she was successful in letting the general drink the poison. I'm sure that General Lin is suffering ten times fold than us sisters. If not, then it could only mean they found the antidote."

She then pouted her lips and looked up at her mother, "Mother, you must hurry and inquire about the Lin residence about this. Who knows if they decided to waste the remaining antidote to that old man. I don't want to die. I'm still young and I want to marry Duke Qu Xing Xu. Please, help me."

Concubine Min sighed in her heart but still said, "Alright. Enough of this and just get to rest. I and your brother will ask the Lin family about this matter. If they don't give me an appropriate answer or refuse to answer. See if I will spare them!"

Just a fallen great general family, how could it amount to her daughter's life?

On the side, Yu Xuan Li didn't say anything to refuse or stop the daughter-mother pair as he also silently agreed with them.

Inside the Lin Residence.

Lin Xiaofei stayed inside her courtyard after seeing that her grandfather was getting better. She would go out and visit him from time to time to observe his recovery while also keeping vigilance over the servants inside Lin Xiaomeng's courtyard and see if anyone was brave enough to spread the things that happened to Lin Xiaomeng to anyone else outside the courtyard.

She already discussed with Lin Feng and Lin Xiaomeng about her plans. Even though she didn't tell them exactly who was behind the poisoning and the reason behind it, she still told them that they should follow her instructions in order to make the snake come out of its home and come knocking on their Lin residence's door.

While waiting for these people to come, Lin Xiaofei had nothing to do other than read a book and drink some tea. Unexpectedly, Qu Xing Xu would also appear in her mind, disturbing her thoughts and taking some of her sleep.

Whenever she tried to sleep, his handsome face would unknowingly appear at her every dream. And inside that dream, their lips would always meet, forcing two red clouds to appear in her cheeks. (A/N: Blush)

And just last night, Lin Xiaofei didn't get any sleep at all. Strangely, the dream of their lips meeting each other was not only the thing that appeared in her dream, there was something about the rustling sound of clothes and touching each other's skin.

Thud!

Lin Xiaofei threw the book in her hand to the ground as this dream appeared in her eyes again. She gritted her teeth till it hurt her lips and furrowed her brows.

This was getting out of hand. Was it because she kissed him this time around? Was this her fault?
