Jiang Yan’s eyes lit up with surprise and joy, “Jiang Peihuan, I… it’s you.”

However, when she saw that the person approaching was Lin Mengyao, the surprise in Jiang Yan’s eyes disappeared instantly.

At this moment, Lin Mengyao’s eyes were filled with smiles.

Gazing at Jiang Yan, she spoke gently, “What do you want to say? Do you want to tell Jiang Peihuan that all of this was orchestrated by me from behind the scenes?”

Hearing this, Jiang Yan’s face changed, and after a brief moment, she said coldly, “You admit it then.”

“Yes, I admit it,” Lin Mengyao responded. “But if you hadn’t foolishly sent Xue Ru to seek out Jiang Peihuan, you wouldn’t have fallen into the trap.”

Seeing Lin Mengyao openly acknowledge her actions, Jiang Yan, full of confusion, questioned, “Why?”

“Why? Haha…”

Upon hearing Jiang Yan’s question, Lin Mengyao paused, then burst out laughing, as if she had heard a delightful joke.

However, even though Lin Mengyao’s face was filled with laughter, there wasn’t a trace of amusement in her eyes; they were filled with darkness and resentment.

Once she stopped laughing, Lin Mengyao, with a look of malice, stared at Jiang Yan, “Why, you ask? Jiang Yan, do you know that I was originally meant to be the Princess Consort of the Prince Qing? But because of you, I became a side consort I could have accepted this, as he doesn’t love you. But you shouldn’t have continuously provoked me.”

“You took what was rightfully mine. How could you then flaunt it in front of me?”

“Every time you flaunted yourself in front of me, I wanted to kill you. So when you steal from others…”

“Was Xiao Junhao truly yours?”

Upon hearing Jiang Yan’s words, Lin Mengyao’s expression changed instantly. Seeing this, Jiang Yan laughed. She said lightly, “Lin Mengyao, you’re an intelligent woman. Surely, you understand better than I who truly resides in Xiao Junhao’s heart.”

“Shut up!”

“What, getting angry out of embarrassment, Lin Mengyao? Are you afraid to admit it, or are you trying to deceive…”

Jiang Yan continued speaking, but suddenly, she couldn’t utter another word.

She collapsed to the ground.

Lin Mengyao, watching this scene, approached with a smile.

Staring at Jiang Yan, Lin Mengyao chuckled, “Did you forget that I am a doctor?.”

As she spoke, Lin Mengyao swiftly drew a dagger from her sleeve.

Before Jiang Yan could react, Lin Mengyao plunged the dagger into her heart, stating, “I won’t let anyone humiliate me, including you.”

With those words, she pressed harder, and soon after, Jiang Yan closed her eyes.

Moments later, Jiang Yan stopped breathing.

After doing all of this, Lin Mengyao left.

Upon leaving the Supreme court, she didn’t head back to the Qing mansion but instead went to the Lin family residence.

Standing in front of the Lin mansion, Lin Mengyao’s eyes revealed a mix of emotions.

After a long while, she approached and knocked.

“Miss Lin?”

The gatekeeper, upon seeing Lin Mengyao, showed surprise in his eyes. Unsure of her intentions, he attempted to close the gate, but she stopped him, “I want to see Lin Xingchen.”

“Go tell him I have important matters to discuss. If he refuses to come out, I won’t leave.”

Saying this, Lin Mengyao took a stance, indicating she wouldn’t leave.

The gatekeeper had no choice but to go and inform Lin Xingchen.

At this moment, Lin Xingchen was playing chess with Lin Mengxin. Upon hearing the message, he frowned.

Without hesitation, Lin Xingchen immediately said, “Ask her to leave.”

“Brother Xingchen, perhaps you should meet elder cousin sister after all.”

After saying this, Lin Mengxin lowered her head.

Seeing this, Lin Xingchen instructed the gatekeeper, “Let her in.”

“Big brother Xingchen, I’ll leave first.”

“Stop right there.”

Hearing the voice from behind, Lin Mengxin instinctively stopped.

“This is your home. Why are you leaving?”

Hearing this, a hint of a smile appeared in Lin Mengxin’s eyes. After a while, she nodded firmly, “Okay, then 1’11 stay with you, brother Xingchen.”

With that, Lin Mengxin took a seat next to Lin Xingchen. After some thought, she even moved her chair closer to him.

Seeing Lin Mengxin’s actions, a glint flashed in Lin Xingchen’s eyes, but he didn’t say anything.

Hearing footsteps, Lin Xingchen looked towards the entrance.

Dressed in a white skirt, Lin Mengyao appeared pure and serene. Yet, Lin Xingchen was more aware than anyone else of his cousin’s ruthless nature.

“Elder cousin sister?”

Upon seeing Lin Mengyao, Lin Mengxin instinctively called out.

“Xin Xin.”

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Mengyao looked at Lin Mengxin sitting next to Lin Xingchen.

The sight surprised her. The timid girl from her memories was now dressed in extravagant attire, the likes of which even she didn’t have many. And the jewelry Lin Mengxin wore, much of it Lin Mengyao had never seen before.

“Xin xin, it seems you’ve been living well.”

“I’m very happy to be with Brother Xingchen.”

Lin Mengxin responded with a smile, believing Lin Mengyao’s words were out of concern.

However, Lin Mengyao’s gaze turned cold, but remembering her purpose, she forced a smile, “Xin xin, Xingchen and I have important matters to discuss. You should leave.”

“Oh, okay, I…”

“If you have anything to say, just say it. It’s not your turn to give orders here.”

Hearing Lin Mengyao’s words, Lin Mengxin instinctively wanted to leave but Lin Xingchen grabbed her sleeve.

Subsequently, Lin Xingchen’s gaze turned icy as he stared at Lin Mengyao.

Holding back her anger, Lin Mengyao forced a smile and said, “Xingchen, I really have something important to discuss with you.”

“My patience is limited. Speak quickly, or leave.”

Suppressing her emotions, Lin Mengyao continued, “Xingchen, 1 hope you can align with Prince Qing.”

“You said what?”

Hearing Lin Mengyao’s words, Lin Xingchen’s eyes widened in surprise.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Mengyao persisted, “You’re now favored by the Emperor. Supporting the Prince will be beneficial for your future.”

“Hahaha…”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xingchen couldn’t contain his laughter any longer.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Mengyao became visibly upset. “What’s so funny?”

“I find it utterly ludicrous.”

“Have you forgotten? 1 serve King Cheng. You’re asking me to side with Prince Qing. What are you thinking? The entire Qi Kingdom knows that the prince whom King Cheng dislikes the most is Prince Qing..”
