“Eldest Miss?”

“It’s fine.”

Yue Er did not say anything else.

Only a short mont later, Yue Er walked back into the room. “Miss Lin refuses to co in. She says she will wait for you outside in the courtyard.”

Jiang Peihuan did not respond but draped on a fiery red cloak.

Lin ngyao was waiting just outside in the courtyard.

This was not her first visit to Jiang Peihuan’s plum garden. In the past, under Yan Xin’s guidance, Lin ngyao had visited a few tis.

Each ti she ca, Lin ngyao felt the garden exuded opulence.

Outside Jiang Peihuan’s room was a large courtyard. Beside a pavilion stood a faux mountain, ticulously crafted. In the sumr, tiny streams flowed through it. This faux mountain was personally carved by Jiang Hong.

When Jiang Peihuan stepped into the courtyard, what she saw was Lin ngyao, staring intently at the faux mountain.

She didn’t say anything, just quietly observing Lin ngyao’s back.

After a long while, Lin ngyao finally turned to face Jiang Peihuan.

Seeing the fiery red cloak on Jiang Peihuan, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

“Miss Jiang, I apologize for the intrusion.”

Jiang Peihuan remained silent, rely gazing at Lin ngyao.

Seeing Lin ngyao stirred so complicated emotions in Jiang Peihuan.

In her previous life, it was because of Lin ngyao that Xiao Junhao had destroyed everything of hers.

“Miss Jiang, I ca today with a request.”

Lin ngyao took the initiative. Only upon hearing this did Jiang Peihuan finally respond, “Miss Lin, speak your mind.”

“I hope that Miss Jiang can talk to Xingchen and let us continue to stay in the Lin Mansion. After all, we are just so old, weak, won, and children.”

“Even if it’s not a permanent stay, at least let us get through this winter.”

In just one more month, she would be married into the Qing Wang Mansion. No matter what happened to the Lin family, it would no longer concern her.

“Why doesn’t Miss Lin approach General Lin directly?”

“I’m aware of what my father did to uncle, which makes it difficult for to approach him on this matter.”

“If it’s hard for Miss Lin to speak, it’s even harder for .”

Hearing Lin ngyao’s words, Jiang Peihuan’s lips curled into a smile, but it was a smile dripping with derision.

Lin ngyao was just the sa as in the previous life, always taking others for fools.

eting Lin ngyao’s gaze, Jiang Peihuan said directly, “1 am but an outsider; 1 cannot intervene in the affairs of the Lin family.”

“An outsider? Let’s put aside your relationship with Xingchen for a mont. Just the fact that Miss Jiang took my cousin directly into the palace implicates you in this matter, does it not?”

“As for what Miss Jiang did, I, don’t bla you at all. After all, it was my father’s fault in the first place. But now, is it too much to ask for a simple favor?”

“As I said, I’m just an outsider.”

“If Miss Lin ca here today just to tell this, then you can leave.”

“You…”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s blatant dismissal, anger flared in Lin ngyao’s eyes.

Taking a deep breath, she looked at Jiang Peihuan and said, “Miss Jiang, are you really this cruel?”

“Heh…

Hearing Lin ngyao’s words, Jiang Peihuan laughed as if she had heard a delightful joke. However, her eyes held not a hint of amusent but were filled with hatred.

Seeing the smile on Jiang Peihuan’s face, Lin ngyao looked puzzled.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Jiang Peihuan’s voice, “Miss Lin, when it cos to cruelty, that title better suits you.”

Before Lin ngyao could retort, Jiang Peihuan continued, “Or have you forgotten about sending soone to assassinate ?”

“You… what are you talking about? 1 don’t understand.”

“Miss Lin, do you genuinely not understand? Back then, I was ordered to escort grain to Jiang Zhou. Along the way, I was ambushed. Wasn’t that your doing?”

Before Lin ngyao could finish, she felt a cold sensation on her neck. Unbeknownst to her, Jiang Peihuan had already drawn her longsword, the tip of it was pointed at her throat.

“Miss Lin, based on what you did to that day, shouldn’t I…”

“Jiang Peihuan, what are you trying to do?”

Suddenly, soone knocked Jiang Peihuan’s sword aside.

Jiang Peihuan turned and saw Xiao Junhao.

Xiao Junhao held Lin ngyao in his arms, seeing the blood on her neck, he glared at Jiang Peihuan with icy eyes, “How could you be so vicious?”

“You…”

Not to waste any words, as Xiao Junhao’s voice trailed off, Jiang Peihuan’s sword lunged towards him.

Xiao Junhao’s martial skills were superior to her own, Jiang Peihuan’s strike was both swift and fierce.

Under this assault, Xiao Junhao looked slightly flustered.

By the end, there was anger in Xiao Junhao’s eyes, “Jiang Peihuan, stop now, or 1 won’t be polite!”

Jiang Peihuan, seemingly deaf to his words, continued her relentless attack, each strike faster, fiercer, and with undeniable murderous intent.

Xiao Junhao didn’t hesitate, drawing his sword from his waist.

But as he moved to counterattack, another sword striked at him.

“Be careful, Your Highness!”

Hearing Lin ngyao’s warning, Xiao Junhao swiftly dodged, but his arm was still injured.

Xiao Nanye, sword in hand, stood beside Jiang Peihuan, “Huan Er, are you okay?”

Seeing Jiang Peihuan shake her head, Xiao Nanye turned his icy gaze to Xiao Junhao, “You have so nerve to attack.”

“In a month, Huan Er will be my queen. By protocol, you should address her as your Imperial aunt.”

“Today’s events will be reported to the Emperor.”

Despite being the injured party, Xiao Nanye intended to be the first to complain.

“Imperial uncle, if it weren’t for Miss Jiang trying to kill Yao Er, I wouldn’t have acted. You should at least be fair.” Xiao Junhao responded coldly,

“If Huan Er wants her dead, then she deserves it.”

“It ans she did sothing deserving of death.”

Jiang Peihuan:”…”

Lin ngyao:”…”

Xiao Junhao:”…”

With Xiao Nanye’s declaration, everyone turned incredulous.

“Your Highness, King Cheng, there’s sothing I’m unsure whether to say or not.” Especially Lin ngyao, she could not believe her ears..
