At that time, Nan Huaishuo and his favorite concubine were pretentious and elegant, occasionally reciting poems and composing couplets, playing the piano and painting. His waist was full of sachets given by the concubines, and even his underwear was embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Lin Yushu thought at that time, if she could know all these, Nan Huaishuo would be very happy too.

At that time, she didn't know that in Nan Huaishuo's heart, what was wrong was not that she had no talent or virtue, but that she herself was wrong.

Therefore, in addition to refining poisons, she tried her best to learn things. However, it was easy to learn dance and piano, which she had never been exposed to since childhood, but it was too difficult to master them. Therefore, Lin Yushu devoted her energy to needlework, painting and chess.

Lin Yushu had great attainments in painting and chess, her handwriting was beautiful, and her needlework was superb. These were the assets she had accumulated in her previous life.

But if you want to use it in this life, you must find a source, and Lingjiu Hall is the best choice.

Otherwise, how could she, who had been abandoned in a separate courtyard for many years and had never been educated, have such abilities?

Knowing some medical skills could be said to be the result of guidance from an expert, but painting, chess and needlework were by no means something that could be learned overnight. She needed to stay in Lingjiu Hall for at least a year to dispel other people's suspicions.

The New Year's Eve dinner started. Lin Yushu tasted the dishes quietly. She turned around and found that Lin Xuehui was not there. It seemed that her injury had not healed completely.

Instead, Lin Fang sat quietly beside Lin Qingrou, looking very obedient. Only Lin Yushu could see the unwillingness that flashed across her eyes.

The amount of bone-eroding powder given to Lin Xuehui was not large. At most, it would leave scars on her feet, but would not make her disabled. Of course, this was based on the premise that Lin Xuehui did not do anything evil. If she did something evil...

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the family watched the fireworks happily. The old lady was tired, so she helped Liu Mei go back to rest, and the second lady came to Lin Yushu.

"The old lady really loves Liu Mei, even her own granddaughter can't compare to her. I think Liu Mei's marriage must be the old lady's favorite. Even if you, Shu'er, are the eldest daughter of the Lin family, if there is a good family, the old lady will only focus on Liu Mei first."

If Lin Yushu couldn't hear such a crude attempt to sow discord, then her death would have been in vain.

"Second Aunt is right. Shu'er is too stupid to be worthy of any good family. Second sister is like a fairy. I think she is even more outstanding than cousin Liu. It would be a pity if such a pearl is thrown into the dark..."

The second lady's smiling face suddenly froze, her eyes followed Liu Mei's back, the hatred in her eyes could hardly be concealed.

"A fallen phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken. What the heck is the Liu Guogong Mansion? How can it be worthy of competing with Rou'er!"

After saying that, he turned around and called Lin Qingrou behind him, then went back angrily.

Lin Yushu thought that although the second wife was vicious, she was not very smart. The old lady was the one who made the decisions behind many things, and the second wife was just a knife in the old lady's hand.

In her previous life, Lin Yushu had seen that the old lady did not like this daughter-in-law very much. If she did too many evil things and her crimes were exposed, the second wife would definitely be abandoned by the old lady at the first opportunity.

Just before the old lady left, she held Lin Yushu's hand and brainwashed her, telling her how important it was for a girl to marry into a wealthy and powerful family. In order to comfort the old lady, Lin Yushu kept nodding her head while touching the gilded bracelet.

Even so, it would only let the old lady see her willingness to compromise and stop having bad intentions for the time being, but it would not last long.

Judging from the trajectory of the previous life, the Second Lady would arrange a "meeting" within the first month of the first lunar month.

With the other party's respected status, if he really took a fancy to her, given Lin Yushu's current situation, she would not be able to refuse.

So... in this life, I still have to ask Lin Xuehui to poison her again!

Jin Palace.

"Rong Jing, your house is too quiet, why don't we go to Luoshi Street, it's very lively there!"

Nan Rongjing pushed away Shen Mutang's approaching smiling face with one hand and held the official documents in the other.

"You are too crazy to handle official business on New Year's Eve."

Shen Mutang pulled Nan Rongjing's hand with some concern and began to feel his pulse. "Your poison was so severe yesterday. You should take good care of yourself in the next few days."

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

He has been celebrating the New Year like this for so many years. In previous years, if Shen Mutang was not in the capital, he would be the only one in the mansion except for a few old servants and shadow guards. It was deserted but quiet.

Nan Rongjing's mother died shortly after he was born. Nan Rongjing's father, Prince Jin, went to garrison in Youzhou when he was two years old. From then on, eighteen years had passed, and Prince Jin had never returned once.

Nan Rongjing was raised by the old nanny and Old Master Shen in the mansion since he was a child, and when he was five years old, the poison began to take effect.

When he was young, his parents were not around, and without their love, the only thing that accompanied him as he grew up was the repeated attacks of the poison.

The severe pain when the poison took effect was so severe that most adults could not endure it, but Nan Rongjing, who was only five years old, endured it for fifteen years.

After years of suffering from illness and lack of care since childhood, Nan Rongjing's character has become extremely cold and cruel. After taking charge of the Yulin Guard, his methods are decisive and ruthless. He is known as the "Jade-faced King of Hell" by everyone in the capital.

Nan Rongjing is highly trusted by the emperor and holds a high position. His appearance is unmatched in the capital, but his brutal character keeps all the daughters of high-ranking officials away from him.

Only some girls from humble families dare to express their love. After all, they want to take a chance. If they are chosen by Nan Rongjing and become the Crown Prince of Jin's wife, it would be like a carp leaping over the dragon gate!

But Nan Rongjing has never been interested in women. No, not just women, but strangers should be kept away from him.

Anyone who comes up to flatter the King of Hell will have all his secrets exposed if he displeases him. Anyone with a stain will be thrown into the prison, and in serious cases, he will be sent to the Cliff Prison, where he will die.

Except for Old Master Shen and Shen Mutang, no one knew that Nan Rongjing was poisoned.

What everyone knew was that Nan Rongjing had killed too many people and committed too many sins, which had shortened his life span. He had been suffering from a strange disease and would not live long.

This rumor was actually true. He really wouldn't live long. Even with all Old Master Shen's lifelong knowledge, he could only keep him alive past the age of twenty.

He is already twenty this year. How long he can live is known only by heaven and earth, but not by Nan Rongjing.

But what does it matter if he doesn't live long? Everyone will die one day. He will never give up on himself or leave his fate to the evil God. He will only control everything in his own hands.

"By the way, Rong Jing, how come so many girls are knowledgeable about pharmacology now? It's really interesting. Maybe I should listen to my grandfather and Uncle Yin and go meet some girls."

"Oh? How do you know that girl knows pharmacology?"

"It happened two months ago. A girl went to Muchun Hall to get medicine in the middle of the night. I accidentally saw the list of herbs she left behind. I knew she was well versed in pharmacology. I wanted to find out who the girl was, but Uncle Yin was very unhappy, as if I had let the girl down. God pity me, I don't even know who she is..."

Nan Rongjing's eyebrows twitched slightly. Lin Yushu went to Muchun Hall to get medicine two months ago. So, should she fulfill the agreement with him?

"Walk slowly without sending."

"Ah, why are you like this? I came here with good intentions to keep you company, but you chased me away, Nan Rongjing, you are such a heartless man!"

After driving Shen Mutang away, Nan Rongjing changed into a night suit, tapped his toes, and his straight black figure like a pine tree rose into the air and quickly blended into the night.
