Hongxiu retorted angrily, "You really don't know what's good for you!"
"You don't still think you're the eldest daughter of the Lin family, do you? Let me tell you the truth, once the master and madam are dead, you're nothing!"
"If you do as my young lady wishes today, your future will be better!"
Lin Xiuyan found her too noisy, so she grabbed her and slapped her, almost knocking her head off.
Hongxiu was completely stunned by the slap; she never expected Lin Xiuyan to actually dare to hit her!
Wasn't it said that Lin Xiuyan was heartbroken and powerless to resist?
Why is this not what she imagined?
Lin Xiuyan looked at her and said, "Stop pretending. You call Jiang Xinrou 'Miss,' but you've never really treated her as your mistress."
Hongxiu was about to deny it when Lin Xiuyan reached out and pinched her face, saying, "I also know that you are still carrying Zhou Chenyang's child in your belly."
Hongxiu was truly shocked this time. This was her biggest secret. How could Lin Xiuyan know it?
She was always very careful in everything she did; Jiang Xinrou had no idea about her relationship with Zhou Chenyang! (cascoo.net)
Lin Xiuyan seemed to know what she was thinking and said calmly, "She said she was helping Jiang Xinrou deliver a letter, but actually she was going to meet Zhou Chenyang in secret."
"You two, master and servant, are practically cut from the same cloth, and Zhou Chenyang is a despicable scoundrel who will accept anyone. It's truly disgusting."
She was reborn and knew far more than Hongxiu had imagined.
In her previous life, Jiang Xinrou learned about Hongxiu and Zhou Chenyang's affair about a month later. Hongxiu thought that she was pregnant with Zhou Chenyang's child and that he would protect her.
As a result, Zhou Chenyang watched as Jiang Xinrou brutally murdered Hongxiu.
Zhou Chenyang's ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness were not limited to Lin Xiuyan.
Any woman he felt was not good enough for him would die a horrible death after being exploited and drained of her usefulness.
Hongxiu's face turned very ugly: "You're talking nonsense, that's not true!"
Lin Xiuyan looked at her and said, "Whether it's true or not, you know best in your heart."
"Tell me Jiang Xinrou's plan for today, and I'll give you a way out."
Lin Xiuyan held the knife to Hongxiu's neck and said, "If you don't talk, then I'll have no choice but to kill you first."
Hongxiu's eyes shifted several times before she finally said, "She told me to knock you unconscious and carry you into the dowry so that you could become the city lord's concubine."
Lin Xiuyan wasn't too surprised to hear about the plan; it was indeed very much in line with Jiang Xinrou's style, and also very much in line with Zhou Chenyang's style.
He appears to be a virtuous gentleman on the surface, but he is actually disgusting. He accepts any advances from any woman with even a little bit of attractiveness.
In her past life, she gave everything for Zhou Chenyang, and even faced Ye Junfei for him, almost being tortured to death by Ye Junfei.
In this life, Zhou Chenyang failed to win her heart; instead, he tried every means to get her.
How cheap!
Lin Xiuyan's eyes flickered slightly, and another idea came to her mind.
She looked at Hongxiu and said, "I have a plan to help you rise to the top and become a phoenix. Do you want to give it a try?"
Hongxiu clearly didn't believe her: "You can't even take care of yourself, how could you possibly help me?"
Lin Xiuyan looked into her eyes and asked, "Do you really think I can't even protect myself?"
Hongxiu's expression changed slightly when she heard this question. Yes, Lin Xiuyan looked too calm at this moment and showed no sign of panic.
Does this mean that Lin Yunzhi and Qu Shuangyue are not dead?
This idea startled Hongxiu. If that were the case, their plan for today would have failed!
After the plan fails, Jiang Xinrou will definitely be very angry and will blame her for not doing things well, putting her in a very awkward position.
The key point is that the baby in her belly simply can't wait that long.
Her expression changed several times before she finally asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Lin Xiuyan beckoned her over and whispered a few words in her ear. She paused for a moment, a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
After Lin Xiuyan finished speaking, she looked into her eyes and said, "This is your only chance to turn things around. Whether you want to do it or not is up to you."
Hongxiu's expression was slightly complicated, but in the end she said very firmly, "I'll do it!"
Lin Xiuyan took out a bottle of medicinal powder from her bosom and applied it to her face. The swelling on her face from the beating quickly subsided.
Hongxiu asked in surprise, "This is a medicinal powder personally prepared by the Medical Sage. Where did you get it?"
Lin Xiuyan was a little surprised that Hongxiu could see the unusual nature of the powder. She said calmly, "I bought it."
Hongxiu clearly didn't believe it. After all, the medicine concocted by the Medical Saint was extremely rare and precious. Zhou Chenyang had gone to great lengths to obtain a little bit of it before, and kept it like a treasure.
Lin Xiuyan has so many probably because she's always getting into fights, and Lin Yunzhi bought them for a lot of money.
The Lin family has a lot of money; no wonder Zhou Chenyang went to such great lengths to take away their wealth.
She thought to herself that if she helped Zhou Chenyang get the Lin family's money, her status in his heart would probably rise significantly.
Lin Xiuyan saw the greed in Hongxiu's eyes, but she didn't bother to pay attention to it. After all, Hongxiu would pay a heavy price for her greed in the future.
As for the medicine in her hand, it was certainly not prepared by the Medical Sage, but rather prepared by her own hands.
She wasn't a medical saint; she had only studied under one in her previous life and knew a little about medicine, able to mix some medicinal powders to treat some simple ailments.
After things are settled here, she needs to find a way to see the Medical Sage.
Just then, firecrackers went off outside, signaling that Zhou Chenyang had come to fetch his bride.
Lin Xiuyan glanced at Hongxiu and nodded.
Zhou Chenyang did not come to greet the bride alone; Wu Dao was also with him.
Wu Dao knew there would be something interesting to see today, so of course he wouldn't miss it.
Zhou Chenyang's hands were broken by Ye Junfei last time, and now both of his hands are in splints and hanging from his neck.
However, since the white gauze was a bit unlucky, he had someone tie a red cloth around the bandage, making him look somewhat out of place.
As soon as Wu Dao entered, he shouted, "Where's the bride? I want to see the bride!"
Zhou Chenyang was so annoyed by him that he was like a damn prince. He never did anything productive all day long and was always causing trouble. He never had a moment of peace!
Zhou Chenyang had received news today that Jiang Xinrou had killed Lin Yunzhi and Qu Shuangyue and had taken control of the Lin family mansion.
He figured that to avoid any unforeseen complications, he would empty the Lin residence today.
But if Wu Dao follows him like this, things will be difficult for him!
Given Wu Dao's recent behavior, seeing him do this, he might just rob the Lin family of all their money.
In that case, he would have been doing all the work for Wu Dao.
He decided to be patient for the time being, since there was no one in charge of the Lin family now, so there was no rush.
Because of the special circumstances at the Lin residence today, almost no one stopped him, and Zhou Chenyang entered Jiang Xinrou's room very smoothly.
When Wu Dao followed Zhou Chenyang inside and saw Jiang Xinrou, he said with a look of disgust, "The bride's figure is really terrible!"
