The concubine, a former cannon fodder, becomes pregnant, and the childless prince spoils her rotten.

After that, Lin Shangya's second aunt never came to see Cheng Huilan again, and Cheng Huilan was quite smug at the time.

She's so capable; she's the one who can keep the family's money safe.

Otherwise, this relative, whose origins are unclear, would have been borrowed without a doubt.

At that time, Cheng Huilan looked down on her sisters from the bottom of her heart, feeling that the money she earned working in the Prince's Mansion was better than what they earned by getting up early and working late into the night, braving wind and rain.

He was at ease and comfortable, and the other servants in the mansion dared not provoke him; they only needed to be careful in serving their master.

Who would have thought she would be kicked out of the mansion and forced to seek refuge with them, where she was almost thrown out by her second aunt's husband with a cleaver.

In the end, they decided to keep Lin Shangya because she seemed to have a decent personality and they wanted to take care of the mentally challenged child.

Cheng Huilan was completely focused on her son Lin Ye and didn't notice that her second aunt, Lin Shangya, had such thoughts.

Even if they knew, they probably wouldn't say anything in order to stay here.

At first, Lin Shangya thought that her second aunt's family was not bad, and that she was willing to accept them again after being belittled by her mother.

In order to leave a good impression and pave the way for the future, she worked very hard.

Although her second aunt disliked her parents and brother, she always treated her well.

She originally thought it was the good reputation she had worked hard to cultivate in recent years that allowed her to successfully break ties with her family.

But as time went on, she realized that her second aunt was always intentionally or unintentionally letting her come into contact with her mentally challenged cousin.

She was nearly sexually assaulted several times before she realized what her second aunt was thinking.

My second aunt and uncle were distant relatives, and they felt that this would strengthen their bond. When they first saw Lin Shangya, they felt that she was a perfect match.

If it were in the past, Lin Yue was still working at the Prince's Mansion. Although they weren't from a wealthy family, they wouldn't dare to provoke him easily.

Now they have completely lost Lin Feng's protection and don't have a single penny on them.

Ultimately, how to deal with Lin Shangya is up to them.

Lin Shangya was so angry that she almost turned against her second aunt's family.

I originally intended to tell my mother, but seeing her fawning attitude towards my second aunt and her constant complaints about my father not earning money, which caused my brother to neglect his studies during this period.

She knew that even if she brought it up now, her mother would only suppress it.

What's even more ridiculous is that Mother actually hoped that Second Aunt would be willing to pay money to help Lin Ye with his studies.

Upon seeing Lin Zhizhi, the tightness in my chest immediately dissipated.

Isn't Lin Zhizhi just using her beauty to seduce people everywhere, which is why the prince protects her so much?

The events of that day haunted Lin Shangya in her midnight dreams.

She thought she would lose her life that day, but after recalling it several times, she realized that the prince had used her to cause trouble and expose Feng Yao and Mu Yuan's affair.

Not only did they not question whether Lin Zhizhi was colluding with the Fifth Prince's men, they also eliminated Mu Yuan, who often bullied Lin Zhizhi.

In contrast, she was not only completely ignored, but was also kicked out of Lin Feng's mansion.

How could Lin Shangya not hate this?

Why not let Lin Zhizhi take her place and serve that mentally challenged cousin?

At this moment, it was impossible to let Lin Zhizhi leave, and Cheng Huilan's eyes lit up when she heard that she could send Lin Zhizhi to please her second aunt.

Full of wicked thoughts, he said, "Don't just take her back like that. Aren't you on good terms with Erniu next door? Put a sack over her head and say she's someone's selling their wife, and have your second aunt pay for her."

How could Lin Shangya agree? Her second aunt wanted her to serve her silly cousin without spending any money.

Making her spend money to buy a wife for her cousin is worse than killing her.

Fearing that things might go wrong, Lin Shangya asked, "What if Second Aunt refuses to pay for it?"

"We can't just let such a beautiful girl go to their family for nothing, can we?" Cheng Huilan put the things on the ground, not in a hurry to go back. "Does your cousin listen to you?"

"You know his situation; sometimes he's clear-headed, sometimes he's slow-witted, so I can't be sure."

"Then you can coax him with candy and make him beg your second aunt to let him have a wife."

Lin Zhizhi was being held back as she listened to their plan.

They really don't treat her like a human being, and they don't even bother to scheme against her.

Lin Zhizhi wasn't afraid of them openly causing trouble; it was better than the Princess harming people invisibly and without anyone knowing how to defend against it.

Once the coachman returns to the capital, someone will surely come looking for her. At that time, not only will Cheng Huilan be in deep trouble, but her relatives will also be implicated.

When her relatives supplied goods to the Prince's Mansion, Lin Zhizhi was still young.

Because it caused quite a stir at the time, and her father and uncle had a fierce argument, she still has some recollection of the incident.

He even secretly visited Lin Shangya's second aunt and uncle.

Her second aunt's husband was fierce-looking and strong; it took the guards of the mansion to gather around him and push him out.

Her second aunt, on the other hand, was a thin, short woman with dark, shiny skin from the sun.

His small eyes were always looking around, indicating that he was a person with many ideas.

When the guards kicked her out of the mansion, she was still cursing. At that moment, Lin Zhizhi felt that she was like a face-changing performer on a theatrical stage.

They had been begging the purchasing department to accept the items, but when they realized they hadn't gotten what they wanted, they started cursing.

In her previous life, her uncle's family was not kicked out, and Lin Zhizhi had no connection with that family.

Judging from their conversation, you can tell they're not good people.

Just then, Lin Shangya looked at Lin Zhizhi and said, "Gag her and don't let her talk nonsense. If even Second Aunt is fooled by her, then the money we've got will be gone."

"That makes sense." Cheng Huilan rummaged around for a while, and finally tore off a piece of cloth from the package and stuffed it directly into Lin Zhizhi's mouth.

Seeing that she was trying to hide, they tied her wrists as well.

"Waaah..." Lin Zhizhi wanted to say that she wouldn't run away, but Lin Shangya and her aunt completely ignored her.

"Stop trying to pull any tricks. Do you think you can fall for your tricks once and then fall for them a second time? You're just a brat who hasn't even grown up yet. You're so disobedient and annoying to look at." Cheng Huilan glared at her, thinking that her face was only good for exchanging for money.

Otherwise, she would never have let her off so easily.

At this moment, she was so angry that she kept talking, "How come I never saw that you were such a heartless girl when you were little? If I had known that you could drive your own uncle's family out of the mansion without batting an eye, leaving no way for them to live, I shouldn't have gone to congratulate you when you were born. Instead, I should have told your mother that a little girl like you should be drowned."

Mentioning Xu Jie, Cheng Huilan's eyes flashed with even more disdain. "Your mother is the same. So what if she came from serving in the palace? She's still a good-for-nothing. She couldn't even protect her own son. She kept you, a mere maid. Was she counting on you to carry on the family line, or to take care of her in her old age?"

Lin Zhizhi felt her aunt's malice; she had never imagined that a person's mouth could be so vicious.
