Chapter 243 Kill Her First

Lin Pianran's tone was filled with endless coldness and sadness.

"The Lin family has been tormenting me for far too long. Whenever I see their faces, I'm reminded of the many unpleasant memories I had while in the Lin family. Those little things always affect my mood and stir up my deep hatred for them."

"Those unbearable past events often remind me of my former weakness and foolishness, which makes me regret it..."

"Yes, Miss, we will get rid of all the people in the Lin family as soon as possible. Now everything is ready, and we just lack the final spark." Huanxue thought of the past, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Whenever she thought of those painful and unbearable past events, she felt extremely miserable.

The days at the Lin family were a series of nightmares intertwined together.

All along, the three of them, master and servant, have depended on each other, endured hardships and supported each other, and only then have they survived to this day.

Lin Pianran walked forward with a smile and patted her shoulder. "Now that we have climbed out of the quagmire, we should not let any of our enemies go. This is their retribution."

"This was originally a life-and-death game. Now that we've survived, they must be punished most severely..."

"Well, the Lin family is too bad, we must not let them go." Tianzhu clenched his fists fiercely, and the cold light in his eyes kept flashing.

She was as eager for revenge as the young lady.

But soon, all this will be over.

Lin Pianran held a maidservant's hand and spoke frankly, "Besides, I have too many enemies now. I feel like I'm surrounded by wolves. I don't feel safe at all."

"It's better to get rid of enemies as soon as possible and crush them to the ground. Don't give them a chance to turn things around."

The two little maids nodded vigorously.

"We are now at a critical juncture in the struggle for the throne. Countless princes and grandchildren are eyeing the position of crown prince. If we make even the slightest mistake, we could be doomed and shattered to pieces... and even those close to us might be implicated."

"When we do things in the future, we must do our best to be extremely thorough and make sure that no one can catch us and put us to death."

The two maids nodded quickly and bowed sincerely.

Then, Lin Pianran continued, "Go and ask around in the various mansions what gifts have been prepared for the Queen Mother's birthday. Focus on finding out what's going on in Prince Zhao's mansion, the Grand Tutor's mansion, and the mansions of the princes and princesses."

"Yes, Miss. By the way, I just heard Lu Jianmin say that Gu Xiangsi seemed to have prepared birthday peaches made of top-grade mutton-fat jade. They were very expensive. She wanted her gift to be unique and incomparable..."

"It seems that she wants to show her talent in the palace this time. She is so generous and has invested a lot of money."

Lin Pianran murmured, "Fairy peaches! How about we give her some too? Let's compete with her."

Huanxue felt unsure after hearing this and asked anxiously, "Miss, are we going to compete with her for money? Wouldn't such a competition be mutually destructive, and there's no guarantee of a good outcome."

Seeing Huanxue holding on to the money so tightly, Lin Pianran couldn't help but laugh.

Her love of money and her ability to save money were completely passed on to the two little maids.

Look at how Huanxue regards silver more nervously than she does. She is truly better than her teacher!

Now, whenever this girl hears about spending money, she feels as painful as if her flesh is being cut off. She has become a typical "miser".

Lin Pianran smiled and scratched Huanxue's nose. "Your young lady has the attributes of a Pixiu. She only takes in and never gives out. She loves money like her life. She will definitely not spend money to please the Queen Mother."

"Besides, the Empress Dowager is of such a noble and unparalleled status, what kind of good things has she not seen? Why would she care about our mere melons and dates?"

"If it's not something particularly rare, precious or interesting, it's unlikely to be appreciated by her."

Huanxue thought about it and continued to talk non-stop, "That's true. The Empress Dowager is very knowledgeable. The gifts given by each household must be extremely precious. If I want my gift to stand out and be unforgettable, I must do as the young lady said and use a unique and unusual method."

"If we compare our background and wealth to those aristocratic families with generations of nobles, how can we compare? We are simply overestimating our own abilities."

Lin Pianran paced back and forth in the room, thinking for a long time before continuing, "This time, I want to use a gift that is not very expensive, but very unique, to defeat Gu Xiangsi's wishful thinking."

"Even if she spent a lot of money, she still couldn't achieve the expected effect. I wonder if she won't be furious?"

"Okay, okay, Miss, this is a good idea. We must make Gu Xiangsi angry to death. If she wants to stand out, she can just dream on!" Tianzhu said with a smile.

Lin Pianran patiently explained, "Gifts need to be ingenious and novel. They don't have to be the most expensive things. If I can achieve unexpected results at a low price, wouldn't that make me amazing?"

"Miss, are you confident that you can defeat Gu Xiangsi? I feel it's still a bit difficult. After all, it's not easy to win the first place among so many gifts!" Tianzhu was a little worried.

Seeing Tianzhu's unconfident look, Lin Pianran didn't continue to explain to her.

He simply patted his chest and said confidently, "Don't worry! Defeating her will be as easy as defeating a rookie. Besides, it will definitely make everyone's eyes light up and look at me with new eyes."

Anyway, Lin Pianran has plenty of ways to deal with Gu Xiangsi.

As for treasures, there are plenty of good things in her space. Taking out any one of them is enough to dazzle everyone's eyes and is also enough to deal with Gu Xiangsi.

It's not enough to just ruin her reputation now. She should continue to work hard and pursue her relentlessly...

She would hit her again and again, and trample her into the mud completely, leaving her no chance of survival.

After all, she was the one who provoked first, and she was the one who sent the secret guards to kidnap people and wanted to sell Lin Pianran to a brothel.

Since she was the one who struck first, any way Lin Pianran fought back was justified, and it was also the cause and effect that Gu Xiangsi had to bear.

The variables of a time-traveling woman are too great, and no one knows what she knows. What if she creates some weapon with extremely destructive power and starts a devastating war? How many lives will be lost?

In addition, she felt that Gu Xiangsi was an ambitious person with no bottom line. It was possible that she would do anything shocking to achieve her goals.

She must be killed first.
