Villainess Wants To Turn Over A New Leaf
chapter-391-30041322

In the end, both Consort Xian and Emperor Lin became angry as they directly decided on Tingyun, the daughter of the Left Imperial Clerk. The Emperor also issued an edict to confer his marriage, deciding they should marry by summer.

Because of this, Lin Jingyuan and Consort Xian have been angry at each other for a long time. In fact, the mother and son duo were still in a cold war.

Lin Feilu took a sip of her tea and asked carefully, “You don’t like Lady Mu? Then do you have someone you like? If there is, I will accompany you to intercede with Consort Xian and the Father Emperor. There will always be a way to cancel the engagement and get married with a girl that you like.”

In the end, Lin Jingyuan said, “No, I don’t even know who it is or what is the type that I like. However, I don’t like whoever they chose.”

I got it— this child is in his rebellious phase.

She said, “So, you don’t know Lady Mu’s character? You haven’t seen her and you don’t understand her yet, so how can you decide that you don’t like her?”

Lin Jingyuan said dully, “What else can these noble ladies from the capital be like? Aren’t they all the same?! All of them would have polite mannerisms and behaviour, paired with a rational yet virtuous attitude whilst smiling without showing their teeth!”

Lin Feilu, “…”

Isn’t being polite, knowledgeable, rational, and virtuous a good thing? Why is he complaining about it as if he was telling someone off?

Lin Jingyuan added, “What’s more is that she is the daughter of the Left Imperial Clerk. The Left Imperial Clerk has a fierce expression, and he doesn’t need to use punishments or torture methods to interrogate his prisoners. Just relying on his facial expressions, he could probably scare the prisoner into confessing, so what kind of daughter can she be?! She might as well be a tigress!”

Lin Feilu comforted him, “If her character and appearance were not good, Father Emperor wouldn’t have considered the marriage. Hence, she won’t be too bad.”

Lin Jingyuan asked unhappily, “Whose side are you actually on?!”

Lin Feilu, “Of course I’m on Brother Jingyuan’s side! How about this— I’ll help you do some digging and see what sort of person Lady Mu is.”

Lin Jingyuan said in an irritated tone, “I don’t want that! No matter what kind of person she is, I just don’t want others to force me into marrying! I’m going to figure out a way to have this marriage cancelled.”

The character of the little overlord in this young man’s personality had not changed in the slightest. He was going to get what he wanted, and in that sense, he was definitely the son that was most similar to Emperor Lin.

Lin Feilu didn’t say anything else upon seeing him behave as such. The two then had some refreshments before going out to see the residences Emperor Lin had included. The earlier she decided, the earlier the decorations and final touches could be completed.

These houses were all chosen by Lin Jingyuan and were submitted to Emperor Lin for approval after carefully selecting them. He had always placed Lin Feilu’s matters ahead of his own, and this time was no different. Each house had its own distinct advantages, but he ensured each one was clean and spacious.

Lin Jingyuan’s first recommendation was the mansion that was closest to his own. Probably wanting his Fifth Sister to live closer to him, he ensured that the cleanliness and the facilities for the residence in question were especially satisfactory.

Lin Feilu pretended not to notice his intentions as she smiled, “I’ll take this one then. I’ll go back and report my decision to Father Emperor. If Imperial Brother Jingyuan has ample time, do help me design it. After all, I like the layout of your place very much.”

Lin Jingyuan was very happy, “I have time! I have a lot of time!”

Lin Feilu, “Really? Then why did I hear from Father Emperor that you have started participating in political discussions in the court? His Highness King Jing must actively carry out the royal duties without slacking off.”

Lin Jingyuan smiled and poked her head.
