After rebirth, she killed her best friend and took over the scumbag's kingdom

In the courtyard of Bihua Pavilion, the fragrance of flowers is overwhelming, and every wisp of wind seems to carry the faint aroma, gently floating into this exquisite attic.

Li Meir sat quietly in front of the window, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

She gently stroked the jewelry and cloth that Old Madam Feng had sent over, but she felt mixed emotions.

Honeysuckle stood aside, looking at her indifferent expression, and couldn't help asking: "Mei'er, don't you like these? You don't seem to be happy."

When Li Meir heard that Rendong cared about her, her eyes gradually became moist.

She picked up the red jadeite crabapple hairpin given by the old lady, gently inserted it into her bun, and slowly said: "Rosewood, do you remember? We were in the dilapidated temple before, suffering from hunger and cold, and almost starved to death. Later, we were rescued by the prince and brought into the dark guard camp, where we experienced countless hardships. During that period, we struggled on the brink of life and death every day, trying our best to survive."

"Later, I was sent to a brothel, and life there was like hell. I was treated as a plaything by all the men, and was bullied. My dignity was trampled underfoot, and every day seemed like a year." Mei'er's voice trembled and tears flashed in her eyes.

"But what about now? I never thought that one day, someone would come to curry favor with me. Just because I am favored by the emperor, those who once looked down on me have now changed their attitudes." Mei'er smiled bitterly and shook her head, expressing her helplessness towards reality and mockery of imperial power.

Listening to Mei'er's sudden feelings, Rendong couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with emotion.

"But Mei'er," Honeysuckle said softly, "you have to understand that these people's flattery is not sincere."

"Of course I know they are not sincere. They just want to use me to achieve their goals." Li Meir said coldly, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

At this time, the maid outside came in and reported: "Miss, the lady is here."

When Li Meir heard the maid report that Madam Lu Minjing had arrived, she quickly adjusted her mood, wiped away her tears, and put on a gentle smile.

She stood up to greet him, her steps light and I could smell her faint body fragrance as she walked.

"Madam, why are you here?" Li Meir asked softly, her voice full of respect and kindness.

Lu Minjing looked at Li Meir walking out of the inner room with a coquettish look on her face, and couldn't help feeling jealous.

She understood that her current relationship with Li Mei'er was delicate and important, so she tried to keep smiling and said softly, "The tea we drank last time was good. I came to my sister's place today to ask for a cup."

Her tone was calm and friendly, as if the two of them were long-time friends.

When Rendong, who was following behind Li Meir, heard that Lu Minjing wanted to drink tea, a smile broke out on her face, but she did not show it.

She swiftly took out the crystal clear glass tea set and the tea leaves from last time. Li Meier saw this and quickly and enthusiastically invited Lu Minjing to sit down: "Madam, you like to drink it. It is Meier's honor. Madam, please take a seat."

Rendong skillfully placed the teacup that Lu Minjing had used last time in front of her and began to make tea for them.

Her technique was skillful and elegant. Tea was slowly poured into the cup, and the fragrance of tea filled the entire room.

Lu Minjing took a sip of tea and smiled faintly: "Mei'er, you are so embarrassed. I didn't have time to taste the tea last time. The tribute tea in this palace is really different. And this glass cup is priceless. This is the first time I have seen it."

Seeing that her eyes never left the glass cup, Li Mei'er raised her lips slightly and said slowly, "Madam, if you have nothing to do today, why not sit here for a while? We can taste this tea slowly."

Lu Minjing put down the teacup and said slowly: "I think Mei'er also knows that the matter of entering the palace has been basically settled."

Li Meir remained silent and just nodded slightly.

Lu Minjing continued, "After discussing with the old lady, the old lady felt that Mei'er's background was somewhat regrettable. Therefore, the old lady decided to give you a completely new background and let the old lady take you in as her adopted daughter."

She paused for a moment, glanced at Li Mei'er, and continued, "When the master first took you back to the palace from the temple, the old lady was also there, which shows that you and the old lady seem to be destined to be mother and daughter. Now, you will become the master's adopted sister, which will make your promotion smoother after you enter the palace in the future. At least no one will use your background to hinder you."

Lu Minjing gently held Mei'er's hand and asked softly, "Mei'er, what do you think?

Li Mei'er immediately bowed deeply to Lu Minjing and said gratefully, "Thank you Madam and Lord Feng for planning for Mei'er. Mei'er will be grateful for the rest of her life."

She even helped Li Mei'er up and said with a smile, "Mei'er, if you don't mind, you can call me sister-in-law. Calling me Madam seems too unfamiliar. I brought you some gifts this time. I hope you don't mind."

After saying that, she took an exquisite gift box from the maid behind her and handed it to Li Meir.

Li Meier took the gift box and said gratefully, "Madam, you are so polite. Meier thanks you for your kindness."

"I don't know what kind of jewelry and fabrics you like, so I chose some brightly colored ones, which are just suitable for your age. I believe Meier will look more charming and lovely when she wears them, and will be more favored by the emperor." Lu Minjing said softly.

Li Meier raised her head, looked directly at Lu Minjing, and continued, "Mei'er is of humble status, and these things are already very good for Mei'er."

She knew in her heart that she was only of use to Lu Minjing, which was why this high and mighty lady had to come in person to show her kindness.

Then, Lu Minjing mentioned the time for the recognition of relatives: "In addition, the master has decided to set the recognition ceremony for tomorrow. Although time is tight, we can't delay. But the master is afraid of accidents, so we must open the ancestral hall as soon as possible to record you in the family tree, so that Eunuch Yu can write back to the emperor as soon as possible and issue the decree for entering the palace."

Li Meier quickly bowed deeply to Lu Minjing, and said with a choked voice: "Thank you, Madam. I will remember your kindness in my heart. In the future, I will do my best to repay Feng Mansion's kindness."

Lu Minjing put down the teacup calmly with a satisfied smile on her face. This was exactly what she wanted to hear.

She knew that a woman of humble origin like Li Meir would be able to shine in the palace if she was given a chance.

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Lu Minjing stood up and left the Bihua Pavilion.

Li Meier watched her figure disappear completely from the Bihua Pavilion, then turned around and told Rendong: "Rendong, take that set of glass tea set to Madam. Since she likes it so much, leave it to her."

Honeysuckle curled the corners of her lips slightly, smiled and took the order.

Li Meir stood alone in front of the window with a deep look in her eyes.

She thought of the teacup that Lu Minjing used today. In the past two days, Ren Dong had soaked it in medicine every day. She couldn't help but feel an inexplicable pleasure in her heart.

I really want to see what the scene was like when the once high and mighty Madam Feng fell.

Ren Dong returned to the Bihua Pavilion and said to Li Mei'er excitedly, "Mei'er, you don't know how Lu Minjing's eyes widened when she heard that this set of glass cups was given to her. I was wondering how she, who was born in a small family, could resist the temptation of such priceless glass cups."

Honeysuckle smiled slyly and said, "Mei'er, don't worry, Lu Minjing is not far from death. She will definitely drink tea from a glass cup every day. When the time comes, we will just wait and see."
