Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Upon hearing this, Yizhu and Luoman's faces changed instantly. Their mouths opened wide enough for an egg to fit in. They looked at Xue'er kneeling on the ground, and then at their master.

The two opened their mouths but never asked. Seeing that the princess didn't look surprised at all, she must have known it for a long time.

Xue'er finished speaking and leaned forward again: "I know that Miss Yao looks very similar to the princess. Everyone who sees her would say that she is your biological sister. I don't have any evidence to prove it. But, princess, everything I said is true. If I lied, heaven and earth would not tolerate it."

"Also, although Miss Yao resembles you, Princess, she only looks 70% to 80%. The other 20% is the result of her daily use of rouge and powder in front of the bronze mirror. Therefore, she never dares to show her plain face in front of others. Princess, please believe what I say."

Li Shuangwan sat there, quietly looking at Xue'er kneeling on the ground, and asked after a while: "Why did you tell me all this?"

In her previous life, Xue'er was also sent to serve Zhou Caiyao, but she did not come to her to reveal Zhou Caiyao's identity.

Of course, in her previous life, she gave Aunt Zhao 10,000 taels to let her pay off her son's gambling debts, and Zhou Caiyao was not brought in by Ling Heng until a few years later, and she did not enter Prince Heng's Mansion, but the Crown Prince's Mansion.

Xue'er bit her lips tightly with her teeth, and even a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Li Shuangwan frowned. It was not that she did not trust Xue'er, but the price of rebirth was too high and she could not afford to take even a little risk.

She vaguely knew who the man was who paid the price of two and half lives in exchange for her rebirth, but she didn't dare to think too deeply about it. Once she thought about it, she felt a piercing pain.

She is afraid.

"Princess, although I am not the servant you brought from the General's Mansion, I have heard of the heroic deeds of the General, his wife, and the young general since I was a child. Without them, the Northern Qi cavalry would have flattened the northwest border long ago. I don't want such a good general and his wife to be deceived by someone like Zhou Caiyao."

Li Shuangwan didn't say anything and just listened to Xueer continue.

Xue'er bit her lip and said, "Besides, I am afraid of death. Sooner or later, I will die at the hands of Miss Yao."

Seeing that there was no one around, she ripped open her clothes, revealing her chest which was bruised and blue from being pinched, and even had a few holes caused by burns.

When Yizhu and Luoman saw this, they gasped in shock.

"Princess, this, this Miss Yao is too much. She actually used such harsh methods on a little maid." Yi Zhu said with a pale face.

Li Shuangwan was also shocked. She had always thought that Zhou Caiyao was so cruel in her previous life and that she stretched her hands to several innocent children because she wanted to win Ling Heng's favor and wanted power and money.

It turns out that her cruelty comes from her bones.

Tears rolled down Xue'er's eyes. "Not only here, the inside of both sides of my thighs are all covered with such wounds. Miss Yao just doesn't want others to find out. Please save me, princess. Please save me. I don't want to die yet. I have parents and a younger brother at home. They all rely on my monthly allowance to survive."

"Luo Man, help Xue'er up. Yi Zhu, go to my room and get some medicine for Xue'er."

"Yes."

Roman helped her up, took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to her: "I'm sorry, I didn't control my hand just now and hurt you."

Xue'er wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "Sister Luoman, Xue'er doesn't feel any pain. You didn't hurt Xue'er at all."

Li Shuangwan asked Luo Man to pour her a glass of water before saying, "I know about this matter. Go back first and don't let her see any clues. I will find an excuse to transfer you to my side in a few days. I just happen to be short of a maid in my yard."

Xue'er knelt down hurriedly to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess."

She did not stand up, but straightened her upper body, wiped the tears from her face and said, "Princess, you can just assign me a job of sweeping the yard or washing clothes."

"That's the work of a third-class maid. It's dirty and tiring, and the monthly salary is low. You're by Zhou Caiyao's side, so you're a first-class maid."

Xue'er's face was filled with a brilliant smile, which was set off by the deep winter sunshine and seemed to glow: "I am not afraid of hardship or fatigue."

"Okay, then you go." Li Shuangwan gestured to give her the medicine that Yizhu brought.

After Xue'er left, Yizhu and Luoman both looked at their master.

Li Shuangwan chuckled: "Why are you two looking at me like that?"

Yizhu: "Princess, have you known for a long time that Miss Yao is not your sister?"

"Yeah." Li Shuangwan nodded, and took a piece of dessert on the low table and put it in his mouth.

Luo Man was almost dying of anxiety. She snatched the snack that Li Shuangwan had put in front of her mouth and said, "My dear princess, can you still eat it? Since you already knew that she was lying to you, why did you bring her into the palace? From what I see, she is not a worry-free person."

Li Shuangwan rolled his eyes at Luo Man unhappily, snatched the snack from her hand, and stuffed it into his mouth: "Don't worry, she won't stay in the palace for long, and I will never let her become the daughter of my general's mansion."

Since her rebirth, she has been planning every step. How could she possibly let this woman who hurt her so badly in her previous life have an easy life?

Keeping her around would certainly be of great use.

"Then why are you..."

Li Shuangwan looked at the two little girls who were looking at her worriedly, pinched their faces, and said, "Okay, don't worry, your girl knows what's going on."

Luo Man pouted: "Humph, Princess, are Yi Zhu and I still your dearest maids?"

Li Shuangwan smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you are my dearest sisters. It's not that I am hiding anything from you, but there are some things I haven't thought about yet. When the time is right, I will tell you everything."

The two looked at each other and then nodded, but Roman's mouth was still pouting.

Yi Zhu said worriedly, "Princess, can Xue'er be trusted? I am worried that she might have been sent by Miss Yao."

Li Shuangwan nodded: "What you said makes sense. Roman, ask Chen Ping to come over later."

Roman nodded and said yes, then saw Chen Ping and her sister Chen Rong coming over.

Chen Ping's face was full of joy. Seeing the three people looking at them, he smiled and said, "Princess, the Madam is here."

Li Shuangwan was overjoyed and stood up quickly: "Where is mother?"

"I have already returned to the General's Mansion. He said he rushed back all the way and was exhausted. He will come to the palace to see you after taking a bath and changing clothes."

Li Shuangwan couldn't wait any longer. In her past and present lives, she hadn't seen her mother for several years. At this moment, she wished she could grow wings and fly into her mother's arms.

"No, let's go back home. Chen Ping, go and ask Zhou Bo to harness the carriage. Ah Rong, go and get the things I prepared these two days. Yi Zhu, quickly bring the box of rouge so that I can put on some powder. Luo Man, go and get my black gold cloud embroidered shirt and lotus green cloak."

"Yes." Several people were delighted.

Since her rebirth, she has been working non-stop for a month and a half, practicing martial arts and being injured. She has lost a lot of weight. Her mother must be heartbroken to see her.

In this life, she would never let her parents and brother worry about her.

In this life, I will protect you.

So, she had to make herself look very healthy.

Several maids nodded yes loudly and went about their business.

When Li Shuangwan saw that Chen Ping did not leave, he knew that he had something else to do.
