The Birth Of A Villainess

Chapter 100 - Forcing The Duke

The next morning, the Lin residence was taken by a storm. The servants acted like ants rushing to do their work as today was the official day where the Fourth Young Miss of their Lin residence would leave home and stay inside her fiance's house.

This kind of situation was never heard in the entire Zheng empire but no one in the Lin family raised any qualms as they couldn't dare stop this from happening when the man Lin Xiaofei was betrothed to was the Duke of Xin.

When the words were spread across the Lin residence, everyone couldn't stop gasping in shock and disbelief.

They couldn't believe that it was the fourth young miss of the Lin family who managed to take the Duke's attention that he even asked for her hand and wanted her to live in the Qu residence as soon as possible to get used to the lifestyle and to train her as the Duchess of Xin.

They would believe it if it were the other young misses in the Lin family but they can't get their minds around the fact that it was the trashy miss!

"Is the fourth young miss really going to marry the Duke?" Said a maid in a low voice.

"Hmph! The young miss must have done something vulgar to the Duke and forced him to marry her!" One maid said in a hush to her other fellow maid while wiping the vase.

The two maids who were talking were outside the inner quarter of a courtyard but their voices could still be heard from the inside..

? Inside the room, Lin Hua Lou gripped the book she was holding and glared at the maid who reminded her that her waste if a cousin will now get to become the Duchess if Xin.

But on second thought, Lin Hua Lou thought that what these maids said was right.

There was no way that Duke Qu Xing Xu would willingly go to their Lin residence and ask for Lin Xiaofei's hand for marriage. There must be something happening behind.

"Now that I think about it… the fourth young miss has been going outside these days. She locked herself in her own courtyard but isn't it a bit strange that she suddenly wanted to go outside?" The maid clad in orange said.

The other maid tapped her chin as she was also thinking about it.

The fact that Lin Xiaofei has been going out of her courtyard after locking herself up for three years made people raise their eyebrows in wonder.

Lin Xiaomeng might have also noticed it but chose to ignore it since he was glad to see that his granddaughter was finally starting to get out of her room more. However, the rest of the people inside the Lin residence was not like Lin Xiaomeng, and thus, they became suspicious of her.

However, these past few days, they couldn't find anything wrong from her and that made them think that Lin Xiaofei might be doing something bad behind Lin Xiaomeng's back.

Thinking like this, the two maids thought that the possibility that Lin Xiaofei forced the Duke to marry her became more possible.

Like them, Lin Hua Lou felt enlightened and smiled. If she exposed that Lin Xiaofei somehow took the Duke by force and wanted him to take responsibility, this would destroy Lin Xiaofei's life.

No one would question this theory otherwise since it's impossible that it was the Duke who forced himself to a trashy woman with a reputation like Lin Xiaofei.

With this thought in mind, Lin Hua Lou stood up and the desire to expose Lin Xiaofei became intense.

If Lin Xiaofei could only hear their minds, she would probably rip their brains out of their heads to look if there were even senses left inside it.

Why would she force herself to anyone?! She was the one who was forced to live with that shameless man!

Inside Lin Xiaofei's courtyard, Bai Lu and Su Tang were dashing everywhere. They were holding something in their hands and put it into the chests that their young miss would bring to the Qu residence.

They still couldn't believe that Lin Xiaofei was really heading to the Qu residence to live there. Thankfully, the servants from the Qu Residence and Gu Yan woke them up from the reality and realized that they were absolutely not dreaming.

Apparently, the dowries that Lin Xiaofei received from the Duke will be brought back to the Qu residence as part of Lin Xiaofei's belongings.

Qu Xing Xu really didn't have to come over with the dowries but in order to let Lin Xiaomeng see his sincerity, he intentionally brought over the dowries.

As her maids were preoccupied with the items that needed to be brought over with them, Lin Xiaofei was leisurely combing her long black hair.

"My lady, should we also pack this up?" Su Tang told her young miss who was sitting in front of the vanity.

Lin Xiaofei looked back at what Su Tang was holding and saw that it was that a small box, the same size as a ruler.

"What is inside of it?" Asked Lin Xiaofei as she had never seen this box before.

Su Tang tilted her head and said, "I'm not too sure but I remember that you've been keeping your letters inside this box before."

Letters? Thought Lin Xiaofei to herself as she didn't remember writing any letter and keep it in that box. As Lin Xiaofei was contemplating whether to throw it away or not, a thought entered her mind.

"Give that box to me." Ordered Lin Xiaofei. The box and letters might have been written by the previous owner of her body.

Su Tang didn't hold on to the box and handed it over to her young miss.

Lin Xiaofei felt the weight of the box in her hand and slowly opened it.

However, she would soon regret opening it after knowing what kind of letters it was.
