The Birth Of A Villainess

Nobles who wanted to show their power to the poor masses were not few. To fear the wealthy and with power, they instill fear in them by showing what they could do to those who have sinned against them.

It was the easiest and simplest but fastest way to make anyone have second thoughts of any rebellion against the people who stood at the top.

After listening to what the waiter has said about the troubles and problems that the masses and the people from the Palace have encountered recently, Lin Xiaofei thought that the Capital would definitely not have any peace for a long time.

After leaving the establishment, Lin Xiaofei didn't immediately go back to the carriage. Instead, she walked around it and started some time for herself to think.

The events that took place in the Capital were too strange. True, she had some play in what was happening in the Palace since she poisoned the two precious princesses of the Zheng Empire. However, she couldn't understand what the Chu Empire's role had taken in these events.

Especially since there was news of Prince Ziyin being assassinated and missing for a few days now after attending a private banquet with the Emperor and the Empress, this would probably cause the Chu empire to send some people to question the Emperor.. If they didn't get the desired answer from him, war could even happen at any time.

Until now, Prince Ziyin was nowhere to be found, and even his body, if he was dead by now, has not resurfaced.

Not only that, even Yu Fangzhou's disappearance has not caused that much commotion as she had predicted before. In the past, she thought that the moment Y Fangzhu went missing, Emperor Yun would definitely raise some questions and use the Imperial Army to comb the entire Capital to find his favored son.

But not only did Emperor Yun not take any actions nor ask anything from his subjects. On the contrary, his actions indicated that it was as if he had never cared about Yu Fangzhou in the first place.

Did something happen to the Emperor even before Yu Fangzhou's disappearance? Or did he found out that his favored son fell from the wrong tree?

When the latter thought passed her mind, Lin Xiaofei's eyes couldn't stop from widening.

The probability that the Emperor found out yu Fangzhou's secret was high and not far from the truth. Hence, Emperor Yun's indifference towards Yu Fangzhou.

But who told the Emperor?

Lin Xiaofei stopped walking as she was looking down to the ground. She fell into deep thought and didn't notice the man standing opposite her was looking at her in an appreciative way.

Not knowing that someone was standing in her path, Lin Xiaofei continued to walk and think. Her small heart-shaped face looked exquisitely beautiful, and with the unique and serious aura surrounding her, she even looked more elegant and adorable.

When Lin Xiaofei finally looked up, she saw a pair of expensive and clean shoes on the ground. She followed the feet before her eyes and saw Qu Xing Xu standing before her with amused and deeply hazed eyes.

"When did you get here?" Lin Xiaofei asked. She was sure that Qu Xing Xu did not follow her here and only told Shen Mo about their destination.

Qu Xing Xu shrugged and smiled gently. "I came here as soon as I finished taking a walk from the Bai manor."

"What did you do?" She asked out of curiosity.

"I erased the Bai family from the history of the Zheng Empire."

"What?"

Qu Xing Xu reached out and took her hand in his own. He said, "I told you last time, didn't I? No one shall hurt you, and I will make sure anyone who does will pay for their crimes a thousandfold."

Lin Xiaofei looked up at him. She saw his eyes were smiling adoringly at her, but his words were venomous and severe. Qu Xing Xu did say that he would protect her and punish the people who hurt her, but she wondered what kind of punishment he passed down to the Bai family.

And more importantly… Lin Xiaofei squeezed his hand and asked, "Won't this implicate you somehow?"

"Are you worried about me?"

"Of course, I am. You're my husband, and worrying about you should be normal." Lin Xiaofei said shyly, and she looked away.

Upon hearing this, Qu Xing Xu couldn't look away from her. His eyes deepened, and suddenly, he had the urge to pull her back to their bedroom and endlessly tease her until neither of them could stand up.

And since they were currently standing behind Hong Pei Lou, he had to control himself, or else this would be really bad for them.

Hearing no response from him, Lin Xiaofei was curious to know what was wrong with him now. Thus, she slowly turned to him only to find him closing in and stealing a kiss from her lips.

It was a light and quick kiss like a bee falling on a beautiful flower before flying back. But still, it didn't stop the blood in Lin Xiaofei's body from rushing to her ears and cheeks.

"What are you doing?!" She said and looked around to see if someone saw them.

Qu Xing Xu replied in a low chuckle, "I'm doing my role as your husband."

Lin Xiaofei: "..."

Qu Xing Xu continued to tease her and said, "You're so cute. Be glad I held myself back and only kissed your lips."

Lin Xiaofei: "!!!"

After getting a satisfying reaction from her, Qu Xing Xu pulled her into his arms and hugged her. She struggled a little bit out of fear that he couldn't control himself anymore, but then Qu Xing Xu put his hand on the back of her head as he said, "Be good."

If it were before, Lin Xiaofei would think that he was acting normally. However, when she felt the hand behind her back, she knew that something wasn't right.

Since he wasn't speaking and wasn't ready to tell her what was wrong, Lin Xiaofei decided to put her arms around him. She tightly hugged him and didn't care any longer if someone saw them.

Under the warm light from the sun, two shadows intertwined, and even the angels and spirits flying around couldn't help but stop and watch this lovely scene under the sky.
