“Alright.” Feng Tianlan nodded in agreement. Sister Lin would be safer there and she would feel reassured.
Xi Lin told Feng Tianlan some details. However, it would be best if they could leave as soon as possible. That was because her morning sickness was getting more serious. She could hide it for a bit. However, she couldn’t hide it forever. Besides, Tianlan’s current identity was very suitable to help her leave Dongshu Nation.
“Tianlan, we have to fight. Make it as serious as possible,” Xi Lin suddenly said in a deep voice.
“Huh?” Feng Tianlan looked at her, puzzled.
“Shen Yunya told you this because she wanted to see us turn against each other. If we are still fine right now, she will definitely go mad. I don’t know what she would do then. The only way for her to lower her guard is for us to have a serious fight as if we couldn’t wait to kill each other. We can’t let her have her way.”
Feng Tianlan frowned. She understood Shen Yunya’s intention. However, she couldn’t bring herself to fight with Sister Lin.
Xi Lin chuckled in a mocking manner. “This idiot Shen Yunya thinks everyone can just easily betray each other and give up on everything, just like her. I will wait for her eternal doom.”
Feng Tianlan agreed to Xi Lin’s suggestion. Now was the best time for them to fight. This was just a show.
If Shen Yunya could act, Sister Lin and Feng Tianlan could act as well. Let’s see who would be the first to get off the stage.
After their discussion, Xi Lin abruptly smashed the bowl that was beside her. She then shouted at Feng Tianlan, “Scram! Get the hell out! I don’t want to see you.”
“Sister Lin…” The sudden act started Feng Tianlan. She couldn’t react in time.
“Shen Qingdai, I didn’t expect you to be that type of person. I don’t want to see you in my life ever again. Get out. Get out!” Xi Lin winked at her, then tossed her pillow out as it hit Feng Tianlan.
“I am sorry, Sister Lin…”
Xi Lin got down off her bed and pushed Feng Tianlan towards the door while roaring, “You are not worthy of apologizing to me. Get far away from me. I will pay back what I get from you today. I will make you lose everything.”
Feng Tianlan was afraid that Xi Lin might hurt herself. Therefore, she just let Xi Lin push her out. When Feng Tianlan arrived at the door, she was shoved through. She then staggered as she almost fell down. Her magnolia hairpin fell. She reached out and grabbed it as her hair came down.
She stared blankly at the door that was shut abruptly in front of her. She then shut her eyes with guilt and spoke in a choking voice as she heard a cry from within the room, saying, “Sister Lin, I am sorry. I will visit you another day.”
Even though all the pushing and scolding was fake, she really let Sister Lin down. Even if Xi Lin didn’t care, she still felt bad.
The ruckus startled the imperial maids that had left the room earlier. They stretched their necks and looked at Feng Tianlan, holding a hairpin in her hand, as she left sullenly. They then looked in the direction of the residential palace with its door tightly shut. After hearing a cry from within, they looked towards one another. No one dared to go forward.
Xi Lin was squatting in front of her door while leaning against it. She was crying out loud. Dai’er, the person who should apologize is me, not you. It is my brother and my father who owe you one. I just hope that our sisterly bond will never change in the future.
The incident with Feng Tianlan being pushed out of the palace and the loud fight spread instantly across the palace. The Empress rushed over, worried.
If Xi Jin wasn’t by Shen Yunya’s side when she heard the news, she would have laughed out loud. Shen Qingdai was still no match for her after being reborn. She was still forsaken by her friends and family.
