When Dujuan saw Lin Ze walk in, her pupils shrank in fear and her whole body was shaking.

"Devil, you are a devil." Every day that Dujuan was trapped in this woodshed, he was tortured by several people in turn, and his life was worse than death.

They only gave her a little leftover food a day, and even if she wanted to fight back, she was too hungry to have the strength.

The look he gave Lin Ze was filled with intense hatred.

"Do you want to leave?" Lin Ze asked.

———

Du Juan changed her clothes, thought about Lin Ze's words, and walked towards Xu's house step by step with determination.

Don't blame her. It was Xu Jinyi's fault. When she left the Lin family, she could have taken her with her, but he let her stay in that wolf's den.

Why can she, a second-married woman who should be despised, become the queen? Why do all good things happen to her?

But when she arrived at the door of Xu's house, she was stunned. She saw that Young Master Wang, whom she had met before, was having people carry boxes of things into Xu's house.

There were so many people that Dujuan struggled to squeeze to the front. When she saw the boxes of things, her eyes widened.

After hearing what the passerby said, Dujuan felt unwell and looked at the stone in a daze.

how so?!

She went to great lengths to reject this man and became Lin Ze's concubine. Wasn't it just to live a life of wealth and luxury with someone to serve her?

But the reality is that she gave away the wealth and glory she had obtained, gave up being someone else's wife and became a concubine, and finally ended up like this.

She was so stupid as to push him towards Jinxiu.

Thinking of Prince Wang's previous satisfaction and love for her, Du Juan felt hopeful again.

Dujuan smoothed her hair, put on a smile that she thought looked pretty, and walked over.

"Young Master Wang, do you still remember me? I am Dujuan. Didn't you promise to marry me? How can you marry someone else?" Dujuan looked weak and spoke while wiping her tears.

She had to take advantage of the audience and make the person in front of her responsible for her.

Shi Tou was confused and didn't react at all. Only when he heard everyone talking and pointing at him did his face turn ugly.

He mercilessly said to Du Juan who was trying to ruin his plans: "Oh, isn't this Aunt Du from the Lin family? She looked down on me, a lowly merchant, and climbed into the bed of Minister Lin and became his concubine."

"Looking at the wounds on your face, I'm afraid you're having a hard time in the Lin family. Why do you want to sabotage my wedding just because you see I'm getting married?"

"Besides, we only met once and nothing happened. I still remember the disgust and contempt in your eyes."

"Why, now that you realize I'm a merchant with a little money, you regret it?"

Then Shitou pointed at Dujuan and said something even more cruel: "I have never seen a woman as vicious and despicable as you. You shamelessly climbed into the bed of your lady's husband, ruined their relationship, and even drugged your master."

"Sister Xu has been taking medicine for so many years but her health hasn't improved, all because of a treacherous and vicious maid like you."

“Wow!”

"Oh my god, is this the real story? I never thought that someone who looks so delicate and weak could be so cruel and ruthless."

"This maid is truly incredible. She did something like this and is still alive. If it were me, I would have had her dragged away and beaten to death."

"The future queen is kindhearted, as you know. She solved the refugee problem and even brought another of her maids together with this prince."

"I heard that the dowry for a maid included three shops in the capital, thirty acres of land, and many other dowry items."

"So many? This is comparable to the concubines of a wealthy family, right? Then isn't this maid who went to such great lengths to climb into bed really stupid?"

"If you behave yourself, won't you also be able to enjoy this treatment?"

"Stop talking now, look at her face changing."

The handkerchief in Dujuan's hand was about to be torn to pieces, and these words echoed in her mind one by one.

It reminded her that it was her own stupidity that caused her to lose the wealth that was within her reach.

The more he thought about it, the more heartbroken he became. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his vision went black as he collapsed in front of the Xu family.

Shitou took a big step back, feeling unlucky.

At this time, Xu Jinyi came out and asked Jinxiu to invite Shitou in first.

Then he walked up to Dujuan with a cold expression.

"Mrs. Du from the Lin family has fainted. Send her back."

Just when the servant touched Dujuan, Dujuan immediately sat up and knelt in front of Xu Jinyi.

"Miss, Dujuan was wrong. Please save my life." Dujuan kowtowed to Xu Jinyi with tears in her eyes.

His forehead quickly turned red, with a trace of blood.

Xu Jinyi looked at her coldly, her tone flat: "Isn't this the life you wanted in the beginning? For the position of concubine, you didn't hesitate to drug me. Now that you're living like this, you still have the nerve to beg me?"

"Miss, I really know I was wrong. Please let me come back to you. I am willing to spend the rest of my life to atone for my sins. I will never have two hearts for you in the future."

"Miss, please save me. I don't want to go back to the Lin family. I want to be with you again. It doesn't matter if I'm a third-class maid."

"Please, miss."

Du Juan came to Xu's house to help Lin Ze trick Xu Jinyi out.

She didn't know what Lin Ze wanted to do, but she agreed for the sake of freedom.

But now that she knew Xu Jinyi was about to enter the palace to become queen, she changed her mind.

She wanted to go back to Xu Jinyi, even if she had to be a servant, she would stay by her side.

Only in this way will she have the opportunity to enter the palace, and as long as she enters the palace, she will have the opportunity to get close to the emperor.

Since you want to be a concubine, why not be the emperor's concubine?

Even if it is not favored, it is still honor.

Yes, Du Juan's heart suddenly changed drastically, so she threw Lin Ze's words behind her.

"Since you are already a concubine of the Lin family, I will definitely not steal you away. The relationship between you and me as master and servant is over. Don't come here again in the future."

Xu Jinyi knew very well that Du Juan was a poisonous snake, and if he kept her around, things could get out of hand at any time.

And it would be fun to watch these bitches fighting and killing each other.

Why should she get involved in this mess?

After saying that, Xu Jinyi walked into the house.

Shitou followed Jinxiu obediently, his heart burning with passion.

I don’t know if it’s Shitou’s illusion or if beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

Shitou felt that Jinxiu seemed to be becoming more and more beautiful, attracting him in every way.

When they reached the garden, Jinxiu bit her lip and asked, "Didn't the young lady tell you to bring up the matter next year? Why are you here to propose marriage now?"

Shitou's ears blushed: "I heard that Sister Xu was crowned as the Queen. You will definitely have to go to the palace then. It will be difficult for you to come out in the future."

"I'm also afraid that you'll forget me after entering the palace, or that you'll become a favorite of Sister Xu and then be favored by those young masters."

"The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, so I wanted to come here and settle the marriage first."

At the end of the conversation, Shi Tou's face turned red.
