Quick Wear: Explosive Change! The cannon fodder female supporting role is done with it

Chapter 384 Cannon Fodder Substitute & Cold Tyrant 27
Prince Rui stared at Lin Xiruo: "You want to enter the palace?"

His tone was inexplicably dangerous. Lin Xieruo thought that she just wanted him to coax her, but he kept arguing. She immediately glared at him, neither saying a word nor admitting anything.

Prince Rui sneered twice, suddenly stood up, got off the carriage and left. This was the first time the two of them parted on bad terms.

After that, Prince Rui never returned home. Lin Xieruo was very angry and went straight back to her parents' home to complain to Mrs. Meng. As they were chatting, they suddenly heard a noise coming from outside, and then a maid came in to report that there was a fire in the mansion.

I put on my clothes and went out, and sure enough, I saw a fire rising into the sky somewhere in the northeast, burning fiercely in the night.

She asked in surprise: "Where is that?"

Meng's face suddenly changed as he looked at her: "Quick, go put out the fire!"

However, the fire was so big that by the time they had put on their clothes and were waiting in the house, the old woman came back in a dishevel and said that the house had been reduced to ruins and they had only found a charred corpse.

Lin Xieruo was surprised: "Aunt Li is dead?" She already knew that the courtyard that was on fire was Aunt Linzhi's.

The mother-in-law nodded.

Explanation: The maid on duty tonight was lazy and went out to play with others, so nothing happened. Aunt Li was burned beyond recognition.

She turned pale with fright and looked at Meng.

Meng quickly turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and looked at the old woman: "No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened tonight. Just say that no one lives in the burned yard. Shut up!" The old woman nodded quickly and ran out to make arrangements.

Meng looked at Lin Xiruo and said, "Don't let Lin Zhi know about this."

Lin Xieruo also nodded repeatedly. If Lin Zhi knew that her aunt was gone, she might fight to the death with them and would no longer be under control.

Afterwards, Meng hugged her daughter into the house. The mother and daughter did not take the matter to heart. Instead, after learning what their daughter said to King Rui, they kept scolding her and blamed her for saying those things to King Rui. Which man could tolerate the girl he liked saying such things? They asked her to go back and apologize to King Rui tomorrow.

But she sighed in her heart, thinking that her daughter was so smart but was spoiled by them.

However, after hearing the news that the master brought back from the palace, it seems that His Majesty is very fond of that little bitch Linzhi. It is not known whether it is because of her own ability or because of her daughter's influence. If it is the latter, then they will suffer a loss.

The next day,

When Linzhi woke up, Songzi had already learned from the eunuchs who went out of the palace to purchase goods that there was a big fire in the Shangshu Mansion yesterday, but only an empty house was burned and no one died.

She gave a playful smile. It seemed that the Lin family was planning to continue hiding the secret from her so that they could continue to take advantage of her.

"Madam, Xiao Dezi went to the address you gave me and found that the lady is doing well. However, he felt that the atmosphere in our Cuiwei Palace was very good and wanted to come to honor you, but I felt that he would be more useful there, so I declined on your behalf. Do you think it is appropriate?"

Lin Zhi glanced at him. Songzi was her confidant. These connections were developed after he became the manager of Cuiwei Palace. She smiled and said, "I trust your work. This arrangement is a good idea."

Let him go to Lu Yi to get some silver for him and that little Dezi. She was not stingy with money at all.

Songzi was extremely happy. After saying a lot of nice things, he left happily.

What made him happiest was that Linzhi trusted him.

Linzhi called Lurong again and asked her if there was any news about Luqi. Lurong said that Luqi had written a letter and was about to send it outside the palace, but it was hijacked by them and then the letter was taken out.

The content inside was exactly about Lu Ru's death. I don't know if it was because he sensed their suspicion of her, so he was in a hurry to send it out. "Madam, do you want to..."

"No need, just keep an eye on her." Seeing that Lu Rong was frowning and seemed unwilling, Lin Zhi spoke more seriously, "I know you are afraid that she will leak the secret, but with so many people watching, nothing will happen. Go down."

Lu Rong had to leave, but her face was still not good. She was not worried that Lu Qi would leak the secret, but she found that Lin Zhi valued Songzi more and did not rely on herself at all, which made her feel a sense of crisis.

He was worried that he was useless and would be abandoned by her in the end.

After all, she is the only one in Cuiwei Palace who knows best how His Majesty treats the Third Miss. If the matter is leaked, His Majesty may not do anything to the Third Miss. If she is not liked by the Third Miss, the result will be even worse.

To the point of feeling extremely anxious.

Lin Zhi could actually see that she was worried, but she didn't care at all. She had breakfast and went back to sleep for a nap.

Now that she has no worries, all she has to do next is to conquer Xiao Yuan, and then the male protagonist's plan will come to nothing.

I felt relaxed and slept soundly.

In the imperial study, Xiao Yuan also got what Gao Peng had found out. After reading it, he laughed angrily: "Prince Rui's concubine?"

Gao Peng's scalp tingled. He was also shocked when he found out. He didn't expect that Prince Rui and the Lin family were so bold as to replace one thing with another under their noses.

"Although I heard before that Prince Rui and the Shangshu Mansion's legitimate daughter were very close before she got married, but later when Lin Xiruo entered the palace, Prince Rui married the Lin family's concubine. I thought that although there was some reminiscence of the past, but..." Who would have thought that Prince Rui would be so cruel as to exchange his concubine with Lin Xiruo.

What’s more important is that if she hadn’t married Prince Rui, the entire capital would have known about Lin Zhi.

In addition, Linzhi refused to see anyone before she got married, and after she got married, she couldn't even leave the yard.

Who would have known that she and Lin Xiruo were clearly not born of the same mother, but looked so similar. If His Majesty had not suddenly asked him to check this, he would have had no idea that the concubine in the harem had been replaced quietly.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Your Majesty, the one in Cuiwei Palace now is the eldest lady of the Lin family or that one?" He didn't know how to address her.

Then he thought of the sign sent by Prince Rui's mansion into the palace the day before yesterday, and was horrified, "The day before yesterday, Prince Rui's concubine entered the palace. Were they discussing how to plot against you? I will surround Cuiwei Palace right away!"

I secretly hated myself for being blind and thinking that Cuiwei Palace was a good thing. I said good things to His Majesty many times and almost harmed His Majesty.

Xiao Yuan shook his head slowly: "No, this person in the palace has no guts to harm me. Besides, didn't you find out that there was a fire in the Shangshu Mansion last night, and the one who died was the biological mother of that concubine's daughter."

Pointing at the letter, he said, "Go, find the person and send him to the imperial manor."

Gao Peng obeyed the order subconsciously, but he still didn't understand after he went out. Why did His Majesty ask him to find Lin Zhi's biological mother? Wasn't she already dead? The people waiting said that she was burnt black. Could it be that the body was stolen to make this person in the palace turn against the Lin family?
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is the case. I sigh, Your Majesty is still the best.

Xiao Yuan was looking at the information on Lin Zhi, the concubine of the Lin family. Her biological mother was deliberately given to his son by the old lady of the Lin family and Meng as part of a tussle. She was not liked by Minister Lin and had not been able to eat good meals since she was a child. She was locked up in a small courtyard.

When he was in his teens, he was almost beaten to death by his eldest daughter. In winter, he washed clothes with cold water and his hands were frozen red.

Her biological mother was frail and sickly, and had to keep embroidering handkerchiefs to earn money to buy medicine... It was not until Minister Lin decided to use her that she was sent to Prince Rui's Palace in a sedan chair.

A palace servant came from outside the palace to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi is here."

He put it away: "Come in."
