The Birth Of A Villainess

Chapter 51 - Dirty Little Secret



"Cousin…" Lin Shen Yu softly said. His head was lowered and because of that Lin Xiaofei didn't see his expression.

Raising an eyebrow, Lin Xiaofei wondered whether Lin Shen Yu will finally show his true colors.

She purposely made him assume she was the one who made this all happen and ends the peaceful day in n uproar.

Because she didn't know Lin Shen Yu personally and she didn't have the memories of the previous owner, she couldn't tell whether Lin Shen Yu was a friend or a foe like the other Lin family members.

That's why, when she agreed to let him follow her to the auction house, she didn't forget to get observe him and see if he was faking his amiable personality and pretend to be close to her.

Even though she had other plans, having Lin Shen Yu with her wouldn't be too bad since she also wanted to meet the other Lin family members sooner than later as a preparation for whatever may happen in the future.

Meeting them might also change her future plans.

Lin Xiaofei didn't speak and waited for him to continue his words.

She expected him to get suspicious of her and show his true nature but who knew that he would suddenly point his finger at her and with an incredulous expression, he loudly said, "Cousin! Tell me, you didn't just burn the auction house because you didn't like any of the items being sold there!"

With a proud face, Lin Shen Yu didn't even care how his words were delivered and how strange it was when one hears it.

His words and actions were too contradicting that no one knew if he was accusing her or proud of his cousin for having done an evil deed.

Forcing down the urge to roll her eyes, Lin Xiaofei doubted that Lin Shen Yu might have hit his head when he met her.

Even though she knew that the previous owner was arrogant and was selfish, she wouldn't have the gall to actually burn down an auction house where several people were present unlike, Xiaofei.

However, it seems that Lin Shen Yu, no matter what and where a tragedy or chaos happens, Lin Xiaofei didn't care and would do whatever she wants since she thinks she was entitled to do so.

Just what kind of evil deeds did the previous owner did that even in this kind of situation, Lin Shen Yu acted normally like it was expected for her to do something bad?

Sighing, Lin Xiaofei didn't want to deal with him any longer and turned her back to him as she pulled the child whose hand she was holding.

The rough and dirty hand that she was holding was the complete contrast of her smooth and soft hand that was like a baby's skin.

In her previous life, Lin Xiaofei also had the same calloused and rough hands since she was born to a poor family, and only when she got married to Yu Fangzhu did she get a fulfilling life.

Of course, that life was also short-lived and the later part of it was spent in the underground dungeon where her life became beyond miserable.

Looking down at the child who had the robe over his head, Lin Xiaofei couldn't help but flash a knowing smile. She really wanted to see what great fortune and what kind of future would the child give to her.

Lin Shen Yu who didn't like being ignored by his cousin, pouted and rushed to her side. "Cousin, did you really burn the auction house?" Lin Shen Yu carefully asked.

He badly wanted to know and hear it from her mouth.

"How?" He added on as he sneaks a glance at her.

How? Lin Xiaofei's small finger twitched.

Exactly, how did she burn it down?

And more importantly, why?

Lin Xiaofei never did anything without a reason and if it didn't give her any profit, she absolutely wouldn't do anything.

So, why did she decided to burn the auction house?

Before coming out of the Lin manor, Lin Xiaofei already had two purposes why she went out. One was to speak to Manager Li and get the bomb and the other was to come to this auction house and destroy it.

In her past life, Lin Xiaofei came across the auction house when she followed Yu Fangzhu's men. At that time, she didn't know anything and was only curious why Yu Fangzhu frequently sends his subordinates to come to the auction house when they pass the Capital. But after following closely and seeing what really was the intention of Yu Fangzhu, Lin Xiaofei was terrified.

She was terrified that not only did Yu Fangzhu and the entire Royal family conceal the cave of gems from their subjects and the other three kingdoms, they also secretly deals with slavery.

The idea of slavery was never erased and has been cancer in every kingdom. However, because of the first emperor of the Zheng empire forbidding anyone to engage in slavery, everyone thought that this rule was followed and even if it was not, the royal family will surely not be the first and the kind of people who would be the one dealing with slavery.

In addition, the items being sold in that auction house was all a replica that was created for the royal family to steal the original before selling.

What would happen if people were to know that what they bought for countless of silvers and golds was nothing but a copy of the original? Lin Xiaofei really wanted to know.

What Lin Xiaofei did this time was only a small gift to Yu Fangzhu and the Royal family.

Without looking behind her, she already knew that by the time they found out the news of the auction burning, those vile people would come out of their caves and try to cover their own dirty little secrets.
