The Birth Of A Villainess

"You! " The eunuch behind Yu Xuan Li pointed a finger at her. He never saw anyone who could be so disrespectful in front of a royal. "Who is this shrew! Get her out of his highness' way!"

Lin Feng frowned upon hearing what the eunuch said. Even though the Lin residence wasn't as grandiose and respectful as it was when his father was at his prime years, a mere eunuch shouldn't be running off his mouth like this.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, Lin Xiaofei coldly swept a glance at him, seemingly trying to send a signal to stop him from going forward.

"What are you waiting for? Pull her away from his highness!" The eunuch fearlessly continued on as no one tried to speak to stop him.

As shrewd and calculative Yu Xuan Li was, he didn't notice the exchange between the niece and uncle. He was in a daze as he looked at Lin Xiaofei's beautiful appearance and only snapped out of it when he saw the attendants behind him stepping forward as if to scare Lin Xiaofei away.

However, Yu Xuan Li has no plan to stop them. On the contrary, he wanted to see her flustered and asking for help from him..

"Go on! Pull her away!"

The attendants raised their hands as if to pull her away when they suddenly heard the young girl once again.

"You dare touch me with your filthy hands. Do you think just because I'm a young girl, you can just do what you want?" Lin Xiaofei narrowed her eyes. A dangerous glint flashed in her eyes.

"Not even adding the fact that you dare step inside my Lin residence without a notice and trying to force yourselves in, your highness is even going to let his men to touch a reputable young lady as I? Why? Is his highness so arrogant to flaunt his title as a royal to force this subject?"

Hearing her, Yu Xuan Li's eyes narrowed. He glared at her and the previous admiration he has to her disappeared at once.

He checked out the young lady before him with great restraint as if he would lash out his hand after being reprimanded by her.

Lin Feng was worried about her and shock at her words. No matter what, Yu Xuan Li was still a prince and she was a young lady in the inner courtyard. Lin Xiaofei couldn't possibly be thinking of going against the prince, right?

The most he could do to straighten things out was to apologize and ask the prince to go back and return next time. However, the look Lin Xiaofei used to look at him was scary enough to make him step down and shut his mouth.

"You speak so well but do you think it is alright for you to speak this way to this prince?" Yu Xuan Li said. "If someone from my residence or the palace were to act this way in front of me, I would've already thrown them behind bars torture them!"

Lin Xiaofei smiled, "Then, it is this young lady's fortune that I'm not from your residence or from the palace. I am also thankful that your highness still remembers that this is not the palace."

'Thats right. Scram!' Lin Xiaofei inwardly cursed while smiling brightly outside.

If ladies from common and high noble families were to hear what Yu Xuan Li's words, they would tremble in fear and ask for forgiveness. Fortunately, Lin Xiaofei had enough scare in her previous life and now became fearless in this life.

Yu Xuan Li, however, didn't give up despite being shot with burning arrows with how sharp-tongued Lin Xiaofei was.

"Not from my residence? I can easily arrange it so that you can be part of it. What do you think, young miss?" Yu Xuan Li eyed her like a predator before glancing at the two attendants who was standing on each side of Lin Xiaofei.

Receiving his silent order, the two attendants became fearless as well and their hands were about to touch the sleeves of Lin Xiaofei.

But then, Lin Xiaofei's words astounded them and made them hesitate to continue.

"I dare you to touch me and the Qu residence will be your enemy."

"The Qu residence?" The eunuch spoke in disbelief before laughing, "Young miss, are you still dreaming? The Tiger behind that residence will not even bat his eyes to a woman like you. Who told you that you could just use the Qu residence's name without thinking of the consequences!"

That's right. Not everyone could use Qu Xing Xu or anyone from inside the Qu residence. Not even the royal family could do so. And naturally, a woman in the inner courtyard shouldn't flaunt this word so easily.

And yet, Lin Xiaofei dared to do so! Does she think that the man behind the grand Qu residence would let her off so easily?

Of course, she could get away from it. It was just that not many knew of her engagement with Qu Xing Xu as the rumors only said that a young lady from the Lin family was about to be wed to the Duke and her name wasn't specifically heard by many.

And even if they did, most would probably believe it as nothing but fake news. After all, Lin Xiaofei's name was infamous throughout the entire Empire.

But what if they found out that she was indeed the woman who will be wedded to Qu Xing Xu?

And that even if Lin Xiaofei were to use the Qu residence and Qu Xing Xu's forces to revolt against the royal family, he wouldn't get angry. He might even wear a full body armor to lead his troops to behead the Emperor as a gift for her!

While the eunuch was speaking with a proud face, Yu Xuan Li was frowning. He certainly heard of the rumors. However, he didn't believe it at first as it concerns a certain evil man. Just thinking about that 'man', he couldn't help but shiver and think this through.

Thinking about it again, his younger sister's actions that led her to be poisoned by her own personal maid, he could guess that it had something to do with the recent rumors that concerns the Qu and Lin families.

Staring at the young lady before him, he questioned himself whether she was telling the truth or not.

If she was lying, he would gladly punish her before sending her to that man for him to finish her.

But if she was telling the truth…

He might have to make a detour and think about this thoroughly again before making a move.
