Chapter 2 is no longer the Lin Qianqian who was once at the mercy of others; now she is Niohuru Lin
When Aunt Liu and Lin Yueyue heard the news that Lin Qianqian had come back to life, they were filled with suspicion and resentment, and immediately decided to go to Lin Qianqian's boudoir to find out what was going on.
The two women stepped into the room, their faces showing obvious indifference and disdain. Aunt Liu slightly raised her chin, her eyes revealing a condescending arrogance, while Lin Yueyue followed beside her, a faint sneer playing on her lips.
"Oh, isn't this Qianqian? She survived such a calamity; she's bound to have good fortune in the future," Aunt Liu said sarcastically, her words devoid of any genuine concern.
Lin Xiaoqian raised her eyes and looked coldly at the mother and daughter. Before she could speak, Lin Yueyue couldn't wait to interject, "Sister, you really scared everyone this time. But your marriage to the Ninth Prince is still in effect. After causing such a scene, how will you maintain your position in the Prince's mansion in the future?" After saying that, she covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes full of mockery.
Just then, a memory that didn't belong to Lin Xiaoqian resurfaced, clearly showing how Aunt Liu and her daughter, relying on her father's favor, bullied the original owner in every way. A surge of anger ignited within Lin Xiaoqian, and she decided to no longer tolerate it.
She straightened her back, looked directly at Aunt Liu, and slowly said, "Aunt, my ability to come back to life is a blessing from heaven, unlike some people who are malicious and only think about scheming against others all day long, without fear of retribution."
Aunt Liu's expression changed. She hadn't expected Lin Qianqian to retort like that. She immediately scolded, "What do you mean by this? Yueyue and I came to see you out of kindness, and you slander us like this!"
Lin Xiaoqian sneered: "Kindness? Aunt, don't put on an act. You know in your hearts how you and Yueyue have treated me. This Prime Minister's mansion may be big, but it cannot tolerate the ugly faces of petty people like you."
Seeing the situation was turning sour, Lin Yueyue stepped forward: "Sister, don't make false accusations. You yourself are timid and can't get along with the Ninth Prince, how can you put all the blame on us?"
Lin Xiaoqian took a step forward, pressing closer: "I'm cowardly? That's because you forced me into it. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you've climbed up the social ladder? Yueyue, don't forget that there's a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. No matter how much you flaunt your charm, you can't change your status as an illegitimate daughter."
Lin Yueyue's face flushed red with anger, and she wanted to retort but was speechless for a moment. Seeing this, Aunt Liu quickly pulled Lin Yueyue aside and said, "Hmph, we'll see. You've been so rude today, you'll definitely suffer in the future."
Lin Xiaoqian remained fearless: "Auntie, bring it on! I, Lin Qianqian, am no longer the weak woman who was once at the mercy of others. From now on, if anyone dares to bully me again, I will repay them tenfold."
Aunt Liu and her daughter snorted coldly and left in a huff. Lin Xiaoqian watched their departing figures, secretly thinking to herself that this was only the beginning of her confrontation with them. In the days to come, she would have to be more careful and cautious, planning every step carefully in order to truly gain a foothold.
Looking at Lin Qianqian's domineering and resolute demeanor, Xiaodie was slightly taken aback. A sense of unfamiliarity crept into her heart, but more than anything, she felt an overwhelming sense of relief. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she subconsciously began to speak, "Miss, how dare you..." But she stopped mid-sentence as if realizing something.
In Xiaodie's memory, the young lady was always cautious and timid when facing the second madam and the second young lady, even to the point of being obsequious and subservient. Whether faced with their difficulties or ridicule, the young lady always silently endured it, daring not to resist in the slightest. But now, the young lady before her seemed like a completely different person. Her straight spine, her firm gaze, and the confident aura she exuded all surprised and delighted Xiaodie.
"Miss usually bows and scrapes to the Second Madam and the Second Miss, but today she actually..." Xiao Die's voice trembled slightly, her gaze fixed on Lin Qianqian's face, as if trying to find the answer.
Lin Xiaoqian slightly raised her chin, a barely perceptible smile curving her lips. She gently patted Xiaodie's shoulder and said, "Xiaodie, I was too cowardly in the past, which allowed them to bully me at will. But from now on, I won't do that anymore."
Xiao Die listened to Lin Xiaoqian's words, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her. On one hand, she was happy that her young mistress had finally been able to stand up bravely, but on the other hand, she couldn't help but worry about her. After all, the Second Madam and the Second Young Mistress had deep roots in the Prime Minister's mansion; how easy would it be to oppose them?
"Miss, I understand your intentions, but the Second Madam and the Second Miss won't let this go easily. You must be very careful." Xiao Die's brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes filled with worry.
Lin Xiaoqian smiled gently, her smile exuding composure and calmness: "Xiaodie, don't worry. Since I dared to do this, I naturally have a plan. I remember everything they did in the past, and now it's time for them to taste the bitterness of being retaliated against." A sharp glint flashed in her eyes, as if declaring to the world that the Lin Qianqian who was once at the mercy of others was gone forever.
