《Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress》19
Advertisement
Liu Rushuang arrived at the imperial banquet hall.
With a sense of contempt and disdain, everyone's gazes turned at the same time.
There was no one in the Capital who didn't know that the Third Young Miss was illiterate and came from a lowly background.
The senior minister sent her to live away for twelve years so she wouldn't embarrass him. If it weren't for the political marriage, she may not have even be sent back there.
No high-ranking nobleman wanted a daughter like her to disgrace their family.
Despite being the infamous fool of the Capital, she made an appearance at the imperial banquet! If that wasn't enough, she was seated as one of the honorary guests!
The chancellors and their wives and children, as well as several princes and princesses who had already arrived, whispered about Liu Rushuang even more so than usual.
Liu Rushuang curved the corners of her mouth into a cold smirk, then walked directly to the front and sat with the other princesses.
Liu Rushuang's inner breath abilities were tremendously powerful, so naturally, she was able to overhear many conversations. The light in her eyes darkened.
Ouyang Yaoyi was the third princess of the royal family. As the empress' daughter, she had been pampered since she were young.
However, she didn't look too shabby. She wore a colorful imperial gown with embroidered flowers and clouds. Her hair was tied up into a topknot and she wore a jade dangling hair ornament. There was a magestic air about her.
Ouyang Yaoyi and Liu Ruyue were close, so she had seen Liu Rushuang several times. However, she never bothered to introduce herself.
Having to sit beside Liu Rushuang, she couldn't help but feel disgusted.
By sitting next to this ordinary-looking fool, the noblemen wouldn't dare come over.

With that thought, annoyance flashed across Ouyang Yaoyi's eyes, as she smirked and cursed subtly. "Fool, don't pray that this banquet will bode you well."
Liu Ruyue and Liu Ruxing sat behind Minister Liu and Madam Liu.
When they saw Liu Rushuang, who had been crowned Princess Changping, seated in front of them, they slightly hung their heads and drank their wine. Every move they made looked elegant and composed. However, the expressions on their faces suddenly turned sour. Why did this fool have an enviable figure?
"Seeing that fool makes me feel sick!" Bluntly exclaimed Liu Ruxing through gritted teeth, as she stared at Liu Rushuang with a cold gaze.
Liu Ruyue shot a glance at Liu Ruxing's ashen expression, then over again at Liu Rushuang. "Ruxing, that fool will marry that tyrant and be destined to never have a good ending. So, why are you so angry for?" She said with a chilling voice and a mocking grin.
"Whatever. Seeing her just makes me mad. She was clearly born from a lowly songstress, and yet she acts all high and mighty. Who the hell does she think she is?" Said Liu Ruxing in dissatisfaction.
Liu Ruyue looked at Liu Rushuang with even more disdain, as though her existence really irked her.
A hint of an icy chill crossed her eyes whilst Liu Rushuang secretly listened in. Then, she sighed and blurted, "Don't worry, you will all be the first to die!"
Liu Rushuang glanced at Minister Liu and Madam Liu who acted as though she didn't exist, and let out another cold laugh.
Since she retained the memories of her past life, she also recollected every little thing that happened to her in this body as a child.
After Wu Xiyu gave birth to her and became the lowest status maid of the manor, she was forced to endure a hard life to survive. If she didn't complete her duties, she would be denied food.

Wu Xiyu worked labor intensive jobs to take care of her, and before she could even speak, Wu Xiyu coughed frequently.
Madam Liu was in charge of all affairs in the manor, and so the servants took the opportunity to criticize Wu Xiyu even more. In the end, Wu Xiyu fell ill and never recover from it.
As soon as Madam Liu arrived at the Autumn Jade Courtyard, she coldly told Wu Xiyu that she would be better off dead. She also added that she would make her daughter go with her, so she wouldn't be lonely in the after life. With that said, she laughed loudly and left.
She clearly remembered how her mother opened her eyes after she left and tried her hardest to sit up and continue working.
Liu Rushuang's eyes turned red at that memory. She shut her eyes and opened them again to reveal anguished eyes, filled with a ruthless intent to kill.
