Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Day two.

Early in the morning, a "guest" came to Shen Wantang's yard.

"I heard from my nurse that the imperial physician yesterday was invited by the Crown Princess for me. Rouxin thanks the Crown Princess."

Lin Rouxin looked very well behaved. She bowed to Shen Wantang and said, "Mammy said that the Crown Prince's Consort was worried that I would be cold, so she sent someone to send me new bedding and clothes, as well as new charcoal and a maid to serve me. When Rouxin woke up and learned about this, she was very grateful and came here to thank the Crown Prince's Consort."

"Miss Lin, you don't have to be polite. The prince has recognized you as his sister, and you also received the approval of my father and mother yesterday, so you should be given everything you deserve."

Shen Wantang said politely, "I wonder how Miss Lin's injury is? Is there any medicine?"

"I have taken the medicine. The injury is not serious. Thank you for your concern, Princess."

After Lin Rouxin finished speaking, she took a box from her wet nurse and handed it forward: "These are some jade items that Rouxin obtained when she followed her father and brother in the northwest. The Crown Prince's Consort is dignified and generous, so these must be suitable for her to wear. I hope the Crown Prince's Consort will not dislike them."

Shen Wantang took the box, opened it and was stunned.

Inside were three jade hairpins and three pairs of earrings, inlaid with rubies, diamonds and emeralds respectively.

Each gem is huge and is beautifully carved and polished. They lie in the box, shining with dazzling light. Without looking at anything else, just looking at the bright colors, you will know that these gems are all priceless.

Shen Wantang was very surprised. She looked at Lin Rouxin and said, "Ms. Lin is too generous. The things I sent you are just the rules given by the palace to young ladies. They are nothing. The gift you gave me in return is too expensive. I cannot accept it."

Lin Rouxin's eyes suddenly turned red: "The Crown Prince's Consort also dislikes me because I am a star born out of misfortune and have brought death to my parents and brothers, so she refuses to accept my things?"

"No, Miss Lin, I don't mean that."

"Then the Crown Prince's Concubine is afraid that she will have trouble explaining to the Princess if she accepted my things? Is the Crown Prince's Concubine afraid of the Princess and deliberately trying to distance herself from me?"

Shen Wantang paused as she handed over the box. She had a half-smile on her face: "I didn't expect Miss Lin to be so straightforward. It would be bad if I didn't accept it."

She handed the box to Du Juan: "Keep it."

"Yes."

Seeing Shen Wantang accept it, Lin Rouxin smiled obediently: "It's good that the Crown Prince's Consort doesn't dislike my things. In that case, Rouxin won't bother the Crown Prince's Consort anymore."

After she finished speaking, she left with her wet nurse.

Shen Wantang looked at her slender back, and the expression on his face gradually disappeared: "Lin Rouxin's plan may be more than I thought."

Qin Xin whispered, "Princess, Miss Lin gave you nine large gems at once. Is she trying to bribe you? Does she want you to support her so that she can go against the princess?"

Shen Wantang did not answer Qin Xin's question because the answer was already obvious.

Lin Rouxin's generosity was astonishing. She came to thank her on the surface, but in fact she came to give her gifts. In order to win her over to Lin Rouxin's camp, she spared no expense.

Is such a big move really just to snatch Huo Yunzhou from Xiao Qingxi?

Although they had only met twice briefly, Shen Wantang inexplicably felt that Lin Rouxin was not the kind of woman who was blinded by love. She came to Prince Ning's Mansion with Huo Yunzhou as her target, but it was definitely not just Huo Yunzhou.

For the first time, she felt that life after rebirth was the same as life before rebirth, with unknowns and fun.

Shen Wantang's fingers tapped on the table slowly. The game set by Lin Rouxin seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and even she had fallen into it.

She smiled softly: "It is... a bit interesting. I hope the ambitious Lin Rouxin will not let me down."

In the garden of Prince Ning's Mansion.

The morning sun shone on Lin Rouxin's face and body. She faced the light, stood in front of the frozen lake, and said to the nanny beside her: "Mammy, I am a little closer to my goal. Do you think my father and brother will blame me for taking too long to take revenge?"

"No, young lady, the master and the eldest and second young masters only want you to live a good life. They don't want you to set yourself up and live in such pain."

"But they all deserve to die, don't they?"

"Why don't you kill them, go away and live a normal life?"

"Kill them? And then let me live in pain alone in this world? How can that be possible, Mammy? Death is too easy for them. I want them all to live and see the most unacceptable ending. Only in this way can I face my father and brother with dignity."

"Miss, keep your voice down, the princess is coming!"

"Yes, I saw it. Is Huo Yunzhou here?"

"Here he is. Yun Lu has already called him here as you ordered. However, I'm afraid the palace guards won't let him in for a while."

"It's okay. If you scream louder, he'll hear you and rush in."

"Yes."

While the master and servant were talking, Xiao Qingxi had already walked over.

She deliberately stuck out her slightly bulging belly and said with disgust, "Lin Rouxin, I heard that you went to see that bitch Shen Wantang so early in the morning? Humph, you two are really the same kind of people, both so mean!"

"But it's no use looking for her. The Ning Palace belongs to me and my brother, not Shen Wantang!"

"She can't help you with anything. If you're smart, just jump into the ice hole and freeze to death. I can still leave you with an intact body!"

Lin Rouxin approached her and said timidly, "Sister, I have already promised my brother that I will never look for Brother Yunzhou again. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"

As she spoke, she pulled Xiao Qingxi's sleeve.

Xiao Qingxi was immediately furious: "Who allowed you to touch my clothes?"

She waved her sleeves fiercely: "Get out of here!"

Lin Rouxin fell backwards.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Huo Yunzhou running towards her.

It came faster than she thought, it really was - it couldn't be better.

The thought flashed through her mind, and Lin Rouxin pushed her feet hard, screaming and falling into the lake.

The ice surface shattered instantly, and the freezing cold lake water engulfed Lin Rouxin, but she heard Huo Yunzhou calling her in a heart-wrenching voice: "Rouxin!"

Lin Rouxin raised the corners of her lips slightly. She suppressed her instinct to swim and let the heavy winter clothes carry her to the bottom of the lake.

one two three four……

When she counted to nineteen, she saw Huo Yunzhou jump into the water and swim towards her.

She closed her eyes in relief.

The lake water is so cold!

In the cold northwest, my father and brothers bled to death. Was it also this cold when they died?

Someday, she will let Xiao Qingxi have a taste of this.
