From an uninhabited small room in the corner of Changxinyuan, unbearable curses and shrill howls were heard from time to time.
Lin Xuehui has been imprisoned for several months. Her injuries have healed, but her legs are crippled and she can no longer walk.
The dim room was filled with a stuffy, musty smell. Lin Xuehui was lying on the bed with disheveled hair, staring blankly at the window covered with window paper, through which she could faintly see the light outside.
squeak...
The wooden door was pushed open, and the chill of early winter quickly penetrated into the damp and dark room through the gap in the door.
Smelling the unpleasant and stuffy odor in the room, the second wife frowned and covered her nose with a handkerchief.
Walking slowly into the house, the originally shabby house became even dirtier and more dilapidated after Lin Xuehui moved in. The second wife frowned repeatedly in disgust.
"Why is it like this? How do you serve the Fourth Miss?"
The old woman following behind the second wife lowered her head in fear when she heard this.
"Replying to the Second Madam, the Fourth Miss usually scolds everyone she sees and smashes anything at hand. We servants really..."
I really can't afford to offend this lunatic!
In the past few months, there must have been at least eighteen maids and old women whose heads were broken by porcelain pillows, medicine bowls, or teacups.
This is not serving people, this is taking their lives!
Seeing that the old woman had a hard time expressing her grievances, the Second Lady understood what was going on and said no more.
In the past few months, Lin Xuehui became more and more crazy after her injury, so that no one dared to serve her.
Sure enough, as soon as she walked to the bed, a Ding kiln porcelain pillow flew towards the second wife!
The old woman was experienced and had been on guard against Lin Xuehui's move. She shouted "Second Madam, be careful" while pulling the Second Madam to hide aside.
The Second Madam was pulled and staggered. Before she could stand firmly, the porcelain pillow hit the ground and exploded instantly. The broken porcelain bottle stuck to the Second Madam's ears and scratched the screen behind her.
The second wife was so frightened by the sudden change that her heart was beating wildly in her chest.
After calming down for a moment, a surge of anger rose to her brows and the Second Lady quickly walked to Lin Xuehui's bedside.
Seeing the disheveled hair and the dry and sallow face that looked like a ghost, he waved his hand in the air but refused to fan it down.
"Haha, come on and hit me! Hit me in the face, why don't you hit me anymore?"
Lin Xuehui stretched her neck crazily, put her face close to the Second Madam's hands, and sneered.
The second wife's heart twitched, after all, she was her daughter, and she slowly put down her raised hand.
She hasn't visited Lin Xuehui in the past few months. She never expected that the once powerful and domineering fourth daughter of the general's mansion is now as dirty and skinny as a beggar on the street.
"Alas, Hui'er, why do you have to do this? Now that your injury has healed, you will marry into the Zhao Palace in a few months and become the Zhao Princess. That is no less noble than the Empress in the palace, a blessing that many young ladies from official families would beg for but cannot obtain..."
"This blessing is for you, do you want it?"
"Huier!"
The second wife closed her eyes tightly and took a few deep breaths before she suppressed the anger that was constantly aroused by Lin Xuehui.
"Although the King of Zhao is cruel, he has to consider the face of the General's Mansion and will never use violence on you. In the past, you were the mistress of the palace without the pressure of your mother-in-law and father-in-law."
"Although your foot is lame, if you take good care of it, you will be able to walk again. I have ordered people to prepare a carriage so that you can travel more easily."
The Second Lady looked at Lin Xuehui with a paranoid expression and felt annoyed. Although she did not like her daughter, her marriage with King Zhao was already a foregone conclusion and there must be no mistakes.
"Your father has already found out that the King of Zhao likes dancers. I will select the best dancers as your dowry. They will be responsible for coaxing the King of Zhao. As long as you can take this opportunity to give birth to a legitimate son, your second half of life will be destined to be rich and honorable!"
"Moreover, the honor and disgrace of the General's Mansion are linked together. If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your relatives in the mansion..."
"Ha! Hahahahaha!"
Lin Xuehui suddenly burst into laughter, unable to stop, and the Second Madam's face turned pale and blue.
"You finally told me your purpose? The General's Mansion? When you abandon me regardless of my life or death, I will no longer be the lady of the General's Mansion!"
Lin Xuehui's eyes were red, the knuckles of her hands that were grabbing the mattress turned white, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
During the time she was locked up in this dark room, no matter how stupid Lin Xuehui was, she knew that she was abandoned by her parents and the entire general's mansion.
The Princess of Zhao and the mistress of the palace are all lies!
Knowing the cruel temper of the King of Zhao, he still sent his disabled daughter to him. How is this different from sending her to die? !
They just want to maximize the value of a useless person like themselves!
Tears flowed from Lin Xuehui's eyes. She had been going on for so long just to see if her mother and father would feel sorry for her.
However, reality gave her a hard slap in the face. The Second Madam and Lin Minglang never came to see her.
Now that he has come, it is also to appease her to obediently marry Prince Zhao who crippled her, for the benefit of the entire general's mansion, for his father's official career and Lin Qingrou's future!
But why? !
She is also the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion. Why should she only be worthy of being Lin Qingrou's stepping stone and a sacrifice of the General's Mansion?
Lin Xuehui was unwilling to accept this. Her unwillingness and anger that accumulated day after day finally ignited completely in the words of the Second Madam today.
She suddenly became clear-headed. If she refused to obey, the result would be that she would die quietly in the backyard of the general's mansion.
No, this was not the result she wanted.
She wanted her parents to regret what they had done, and she wanted the entire general's mansion to pay the price!
Lin Xuehui stopped laughing wildly and slowly calmed down, while the Second Lady at the side was still furious about what had just been said.
"What are you talking about? Just because you say she's not a lady from the general's mansion, then she's not? From childhood to adulthood, the food and things you used were not the best of the best. Aren't these given to you by the general's mansion?"
Lin Xuehui lowered her head and sobbed silently, crying very sadly.
After all, she is her biological daughter. Seeing Lin Xuehui crying sadly, the Second Lady stopped arguing with her and comforted her softly.
After a while, Lin Xuehui raised her tear-stained face. That face was no longer twisted and crazy, but was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
"Mother, I understand. I will marry the King of Zhao."
Lin Xuehui's sudden change in attitude made the second wife unable to recover for a moment, but she smiled happily in the next moment, feeling fortunate that her daughter was brainless and would be obedient if she was coaxed.
The second wife felt relieved. As long as Lin Xuehui could marry Prince Zhao honestly, Prince Zhao would definitely become a helper to the General's Mansion.
By then, Lin Minglang's influence in the court will be further enhanced, and it will be much easier for Rouer to marry the prince and become the future queen!
The Second Lady's heart and eyes were filled with longing and joy for becoming the mother of the future Queen. She did not notice at all that Lin Xuehui, who had been so well-behaved just now, was now lowering her head with a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.
