Princess Fengxi wore a faint smile and nodded slightly to those around her, displaying composure, elegance, and grace.
Jealousy welled up in Lin Wanqing's eyes. Why couldn't she be reborn as a noble lady like Princess Fengxi in this second life?
Then she wouldn't have to scheme and walk on thin ice like she does now, constantly fearing that her secret will be discovered.
As Lin Wanqing watched Princess Fengxi being surrounded by people as she walked past, a sudden inspiration struck her.
Since I can't be Princess Fengxi, I might as well use Princess Fengxi as my stepping stone.
As long as one can get close to Princess Fengxi, there's no need to worry about not being able to befriend the powerful and influential people in the capital.
But how can I get Princess Fengxi to keep me by her side?
Lin Wanqing touched her cuffs, and an idea came to her mind.
She squeezed through the crowd to stand next to Princess Fengxi.
Princess Fengxi's maidservant was afraid that the crowd would push her over, so she carefully protected her and kept everyone away from her.
Seeing Lin Wanqing squeeze through, the maid's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain: "Miss, please be careful not to bump into the princess."
Lin Wanqing quickly apologized, "I'm sorry." Then she withdrew from the crowd and stood guard at the entrance of Ryan Academy.
Cuiju asked, somewhat puzzled, "Miss, aren't we leaving yet? Are we waiting for someone?"
Lin Wanqing smiled slightly: "Wait for the chance to change my fate."
Change your fate?
Why change your fate? Miss's life is already so good, does she really need to change it?
Cuiju didn't understand, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions.
If the young lady is willing to wait, she will wait with her.
About an hour later, Princess Fengxi came out of the academy and got into the carriage.
Lin Wanqing immediately instructed the coachman: "Follow the princess's carriage."
When the princess travels, in addition to her maids and nannies, she is also accompanied by guards to protect her safety.
Lin Wanqing's rented carriage could only follow from a distance.
The carriage in front stopped halfway through its journey.
The maid who had just stopped Lin Wanqing from getting close to Princess Fengxi was helped down from the carriage by a nanny and a young maid. She was squatting by the roadside, clutching her stomach and vomiting. Her face was pale, and large beads of sweat were dripping from her forehead.
The caravan paused briefly before continuing its journey, leaving only one carriage behind.
Lin Wanqing's carriage stopped as it passed the three of them.
Lin Wanqing got out of the car and asked with a worried expression, "What's wrong with this young lady?"
The maid supporting Qingyun replied, "Sister Qingyun suddenly has a stomachache and is vomiting incessantly."
Lin Wanqing asked, "Did you eat something that upset your stomach?"
The young maid couldn't answer either, so she looked to the old woman beside her.
The old woman looked at Lin Wanqing with some wariness: "And who is this young lady?"
"Madam, I am a doctor. I wonder if I can be of any help?"
Lin Wanqing was afraid that the old woman wouldn't believe her, so she took out her medical certificate, which Lin Zhengshan had paid someone to expedite for her.
Upon seeing Lin Wanqing's medical certificate, the nanny visibly breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had encountered a savior: "You're a doctor? That's wonderful! My young lady has been experiencing abdominal pain and vomiting for no apparent reason. I wonder if this doctor could..."
Before the old woman could finish speaking, Qingyun stood up, clutched her stomach, and rushed into the woods by the roadside.
"Hey, girl, where are you going? Hongya, hurry up and follow her to see."
"Yes, Granny." The little maid named Hongya hurriedly ran after her.
A smile appeared in Lin Wanqing's eyes. Others might not know what was wrong with Qingyun, but she knew very well.
