Song Yushu looked at Ling'er's back as she left happily and sighed softly.
Ling'er was originally the daughter of the owner of a music house, but Lin Zhiyao and a noble lady from Kyoto came here once.
But because the music house did not make her happy, she ordered people to smash the music house and even burned it down. Ling'er's mother was unable to run out in time due to her eye problems, and Ling'er's brother also died in the fire.
Ling'er's father wanted to appeal to the Jingzhao prefect, but he had no place to go. In the end, he hanged himself in the ruins with hatred.
She would always remember the contemptuous yet calm expression on the face of the underage Lin Zhiyao as she rode in a luxurious and exquisite carriage past the music house that had been destroyed by fire.
It was as if she was not destroying human lives, but the ants on the ground!
In order to seek revenge, Ling'er even practices martial arts in a way that damages her body. Although she is already an adult, Ling'er still looks like a minor.
Under Song Yushu's constant interference, Lu Yanzhou has begun to clean up the Prince's Mansion, but he was still a little hesitant at the beginning.
"In fact, Your Highness does not need to worry so much." Jiang Wenpu, who had not been valued by Lu Yanzhou for a long time, suddenly spoke when Lu Yanzhou summoned his advisers for advice.
Lu Yanzhou glanced at him and motioned for Jiang Wenpu to continue.
"It's perfect for Lin's spies to be able to come to the fore now." Jiang Wenpu bowed. "We can use this as an excuse to clean up the Crown Prince's Mansion. Your Majesty and the Empress won't be able to say anything. After all, we haven't touched anyone in the open."
"Besides, cleaning up the Lin family's spies is more important, isn't it?"
In the end, Lu Yanzhou and a group of counselors unanimously agreed with Jiang Wenpu's opinion and began a major cleanup of the Prince's Mansion. As long as it was not obvious, they would all be cleared out!
At this time, even the most resilient Lin Zhiyao reacted and rushed to Lu Yanzhou's study.
“Snap—”
Lin Zhiyao suddenly pushed the door open and angrily came to Lu Yanzhou, "Do you know what you are doing?!"
Lu Yanzhou put down the documents in his hand and looked at her calmly, "This time, I was in a good mood and didn't bother with you. If it happens again, you will be severely punished!"
Lin Zhiyao frowned and wanted to refute, but when she thought of the situation in the mansion, she could only lower her proud head temporarily.
"Your Highness, some people in this mansion are already used to serving me. How can you sell them out without even asking?"
She didn't know yet that these people were not just selling...
Seeing that the arrogant Lin family finally restrained themselves in front of him, Lu Yanzhou felt an indescribable pleasure in his heart.
"Do I need your approval on how the people in my palace should deal with me?" Lu Yanzhou lowered his eyes without even glancing at Lin Zhiyao.
Lin Zhiyao clenched her hands against her sides, her newly painted nails almost digging into her flesh. This finally sobered her up a bit, "I, I didn't mean that, but Your Highness, if you do this, how can I maintain my dignity in the mansion?"
"You are the Consort of the Crown Prince's Mansion. You must understand the rules and regulations." Lu Yanzhou did not respond to Lin Zhiyao's words. "Even if you can indeed help me in some way, you should not forget all the etiquette."
"What etiquette? Your Highness, what are you talking about?" Lin Zhiyao squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.
Lu Yanzhou slammed the document in his hand onto the table. "Do you think you're still the eldest daughter of the Lin family?! Allowing you to be my concubine is a favor to my grandmother and mother! It's Old Master Lin's last bit of face! Don't challenge my bottom line again and again!"
Did he already know that there wasn't much money left in the Lin Mansion's hidden vault? Lin Zhiyao was frightened by his words, and her already panicked heart inexplicably tightened.
When she first entered the Prince's Mansion, although she was only a concubine, she was still the powerful "Miss Lin", but she also knew where the credit lay.
It’s just that the prince is still afraid of his grandfather’s disciples and is snooping into the Lin family’s secret vault!
Now she suddenly realized that even Lin's spies in the Prince's Mansion had been eliminated one by one! She had completely cut off all contact with the outside world!
"Your Highness, please calm down." After experiencing the earth-shaking changes in the Lin family, Lin Zhiyao finally lost her pride and knelt down with a thud.
However, the pride of the eldest daughter of the Lin family allowed her to hold back even in this situation and not shed a single tear.
Lu Yanzhou felt extremely comfortable. In the past two years, he had been suppressed by Lu Zhixing, whose eyesight had recovered. He was almost driven crazy by the emperor's dissatisfaction and his mother's scolding.
"Wake up. I know you grew up in the Lin Mansion and are quite proud." Lu Yanzhou's tone softened, and he looked at Lin Zhiyao meaningfully. "But now that you've entered the Crown Prince's Mansion, some habits must be changed. I'll stay in the concubine's room today, so you can go back and rest first."
After Lu Yanzhou finished speaking, Lin Zhiyao wanted to say something, but was stopped by his look. She could only suppress the anger in her heart and left the study.
Before she even returned to her own yard, she met someone outside the yard who wanted to tear her tendons and skin her alive.
"It's you! It's you, right? Why do you have to go against me? You bitch!" Lin Zhiyao gritted her teeth and was about to step forward and tear apart the person who was against her in every way.
But before she could move forward, Ling'er beside Song Yushu pushed her aside.
Song Yushu stood under the moon, the mask on her face gleaming coldly, the scars on her eyebrows becoming increasingly obvious. She smiled faintly, "Why? Miss Lin, I hold grudges."
"If a passing dog barked at me, I would have fought back, let alone you coming here to embarrass Luoxue Villa?"
Lin Zhiyao looked at her in disbelief. "Just because of this? I just scolded you a few times and you want to destroy my life?! Aren't you too vicious?"
"Vicious?" Song Yushu was like hearing a huge joke. "Miss Lin, it's really funny to hear this word come out of your mouth. The souls of those who died in vain at your hands over the years will crawl out to find you if they hear it!"
In the moonlight, Lin Zhiyao stared at Song Yushu's face. Suddenly, an idea struck her. She pointed at Song Yushu and screamed, "It's you?! It's you, right? You're not dead?!"
Then she unexpectedly calmed down and stood in front of Song Yushu, looking as if it was a matter of course. "I was wrong back then. I had people hunt you down, but since you're not dead, how can you seek revenge on me? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
What kind of logic is this?
The person who wants to kill you tells you that since I failed, you shouldn’t take revenge?
Are you sick?
Song Yushu sneered and clapped his hands. "That's amazing! Your logic is simply unparalleled. According to what you said, I can also kill you and see if you survive, right?"
