Villainess Wants To Turn Over A New Leaf

Lin Feilu sighed in disappointment. She felt that her heart was suddenly really empty and she couldn’t help trembling when she thought of the hug and the unfamiliar look in that final parting look just now.

Lin Zhanyuan tilted his head and looked at her for a while before he asked, “Why is my little sister sighing?”

Lin Feilu said, “Because your little sister is a bit sad.”

Lin Zhanyuan knew the meaning of ‘sad’, so he immediately came over nervously and held her hand, “Sister, don’t be sad; big brother is here! Here, let me show you some tricks!”

After speaking, he squatted on the ground. Shrinking his body into a ball, he rolled over on the ground a couple of times.

Lin Feilu almost died of laughter.

Seeing his sister laugh, he laughed too, showing his cute canine teeth in the process. Then, he rolled over two times more for comedic effect.

Lin Feilu laughed louder and louder before she finally burst into tears.

Lin Zhanyuan clambered up to her side again and used his sleeves to wipe her tears, “Is my little sister happy now?”

Lin Feilu sniffed before she hugged and kissed him, “Yes, I am happy now!”

Lin Zhanyuan blushed and became shy. He turned his head and whispered, “Then… I’ll let you kiss me for today”

Xiao Lan’s soft voice came from inside, “Lu Er, Yuan Er, it’s time to go to bed.”

Lin Feilu responded and pulled her brother up before they went into the house together. She looked back in the direction of the Cuizhu Villa and saw the moon shining directly above, glowing brightly. Silently, she spoke in her heart, goodbye, Your little Highness.

The road of return to the Song Empire was going to be long and difficult. She knew that he wouldn’t feel like he was returning home— he was going to return to a lion’s den.

There might already be traps and ambushes laid ahead of his journey, but she could only hope that he would be alright.

Lin Feilu knew that she wasn’t going to sleep well that night. True to her thoughts, she only fell into a restless sleep before dawn.

The following day, she only got up when the sun was already high up in the sky, signalling that it was past noon. Xiao Lan didn’t object to her daughter’s habit as well as she never ushered for her to get up if she wanted to sleep in. Lin Feilu flipped over and sat up from the bed before summoning Songyu, “Has anything major happened in the palace today?”

Songyu asked strangely, “No, why would you ask about that, Princess?”

Lin Feilu recalled the cold fragrance of Iris flowers last night, but she just shook her head and got out of bed.

Today marked the second day for the Crown Princess to spend her time here in the royal palace. According to the rules, she was scheduled to greet the Empress and the two Noble Consorts. Lin Feilu felt that Si Miaoran was only fifteen years old and was technically still a young girl. Not knowing anyone here and not having others to show her around might just really get to her. Hence, after Lin Feilu had her lunch, she ran towards the East Palace that she had become so familiar with.

When Lin Qing was not there, but Si Miaoran was sitting alone in the bedroom as she was reading a book. She was very happy when she heard that the Fifth Princess had come to visit her, so she hurriedly called her in.

Ever since Lin Nianzhi got married, Lin Feilu had no sisters she could chat with. Lin Wei was getting more annoying than the boys and Lin Zhuoyu was too dull. As a girl, she still needed a friend who could talk to her about dresses or gossip. However, she realised that she could really hold a conversation with Si Miaoran.

Then again, she was a noble lady, proficient in all the arts like playing the Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. Lin Feilu chatted with her for a while before even challenging her to a game of chess.
