Villainess Wants To Turn Over A New Leaf
chapter-75

Lin Nianzhi knew why her mother hated her Fifth Sister, but she felt that her mother’s business had nothing to do with her Fifth Sister. It was clear that her Fifth Sister was only being looked after by Consort Xian because she was a good playmate to Lin Jingyuan and they had a good relationship. For her mother to be angered by such a matter, Lin Nianzhi thought her mother was being too unreasonable.

If this were the case, Consort Xian would also get angry at Lin Feilu for being friends with Lin Nianzhi.

And if that were to truly happen, her Fifth Sister would no longer have any allies. That would be too pitiful!

As she was putting on her clothes, she ordered Baoyou, “Go and tell Fifth Sister to come inside! Tell her I’m awake!”

Baoyou hurriedly went outside.

Soon after, Lin Feilu was led inside.

She had already shaken off most of the snow that had piled up on her body, but her cloak was made of fur, so there still clumps of snow here and there. As soon as she entered, the warm temperature instantly melted every snow clump. Drops of water were forming all over her as they began to drip drop by little drop.

Lin Nianzhi saw that her Fifth Sister’s lips were icy blue, so she quickly reached out and pulled her closer to the furnace for warmth. The hand stove in her sleeves had also become cold. Lin Nianzhi was angry and upset at the same time. She ordered Baoyou to replace the charcoal in her hand stove with a new one, then she angrily lectured Lin Feilu, “Just because Mother told you to stand, don’t you know when to walk away? If I’m asleep, you can just come back another time! Or just let your maidservant pass on a message! It’s so cold outside today, and you’re not afraid to freeze yourself silly!”

The corner of Lin Feilu’s lips were turning up as she smiled foolishly at Lin Nianzhi.

Another maidservant poured a cup of hot tea and brought it over. Lin Feilu took the cup and drank it all in one breath. Lin Nianzhi repeatedly chided, “Drink slowly! There’s still some more! Slow down and don’t choke!”

After drinking several cups of hot tea and heating herself next to the furnace, warmth gradually returned to her body. Lin Feilu took out a small, pale pink box and gingerly handed it over to her, “Eldest Sister, this is for you.”

Lin Nianzhi was filled with curiosity as she took it from her hands, “What is this? Rouge?” She twisted it open and found there was a pale white paste inside. She brought the tip of her nose close to the cream to take a whiff, it smelled fragrant and soft. “This smells nice.”

Lin Feilu responded, “This is a hand cream. It is used to protect your hands when you apply it.” She lowered her eyes, looking a little embarrassed, “I made it myself.”

Lin Nianzhi dug a tuft of the cream and smeared it on the back of her hands. After applying it, her hands were already feeling very smooth and tender.

All girls love things that are soft and sweet-smelling.

She looked at the hand cream, then looked at her Fifth Sister. She was having complicated feelings about this, so she said after a pause, “You came here just to give me this?”

This Fifth Sister was grinning as she replied, “Yep.”

Lin Nianzhi was extremely touched by her. She pulled her over and dried off the water droplets on her hair buns. Pretending to be angry, she said, “Next time just let your maidservant deliver things like this. There’s no need for you to come here by yourself.”

Lin Feilu replied in a small voice, “But I wanted to see you, Eldest Sister.”

Lin Nianzhi blushed.

The two talked for a while. Lin Nianzhi was worried that her mother would wake up and make things difficult for her Fifth Sister again, so she asked Baoyou to escort her back to her palace.
