The Birth Of A Villainess

When the young lady's voice was heard, everyone turned their attention towards Lin Xiaofei.

Most of them were waiting and anticipated for her to correct her actions and greet the other people in the hall.

Not rushing to answer nor standing up from her chair to greet, Lin Xiaofei touched the rim of her teacup as a white cloud was above the hot tea.

She looked at the young lady across her and smiled before she suddenly turned to look at her grandfather, "This is a strange occurrence, grandfather. I didn't know that my greetings have been such on high demand. Last time, the Chu family has deemed their presence worthy of it and now this?"

Lin Xiaofei used her eyes to look at their stunned face and wasn't satisfied as she continued, "If I had known that people were so eager in desiring my greetings that much, I must have been missing out something in the market."

"You---" the young lady almost stood up from her chair when she heard Lin Xiaofei's unexpected answer and wanted to say something to her.

However, Lin Xiaofei was faster and didn't let her.

"So, how much are you willing to pay for my greetings?" Lin Xiaofei crinkled her eyes as she genuinely smiled at them.

Her rude manners were already known in the entire Capital and were already expected by everyone else. However, her words and manners today was much worse than the rumors.

Everyone who wanted to try to help the other young lady and make things difficult for Lin Xiaofei almost spurt some blood out of their mouths as they didn't expect her to be so eloquent and greedy.

Even the two madams from the first and second branches of the Lin residence couldn't use this opportunity to bring her down after their little fiasco in the West courtyard.

On the side, Lin Shen Yu clamped his mouth shut as he tried to calm himself. He badly wanted to laugh and clap his hands to his cousin for making such a remark.

He was actually shocked at the courage of this young lady from the Song family, the Second Madam's family.

Song Yan Yi's maiden family was full of scholarly people who served in the imperial palace and had a great bond with other high officials thus, their connections were vast and wide.

Not only that but they also successfully produced a concubine who was now one of the favored women of the emperor. And because of that, the Song family would always deem themselves at a high value and act haughty in front of others.

Looking at the beautiful young cousin of his clad in a red dress, Lin Shen Yu felt a surge of pride at her actions and wanted to come to her side if only he didn't need to keep up the calm and collected pretense he created in front of others.

Unfortunately, other people wouldn't agree with Lin Shen Yu's thoughts.

The faces of the Song family who came to visit were black and blue as they couldn't swallow the shame that Lin Xiaofei had served to their way.

"Fourth young miss has a daunting spirit." Madam Song, Song Yan Yi's Aunt cleared her throat amidst the awkwardness, "If I hadn't seen this scene in front of me, I would never believe the rumors."

When Lin Xiaomeng heard her, his eyes became slightly cold as he didn't expect the Madam Song to suddenly mention of the rumors that surrounded his granddaughter in front of him.

In spite of the fact that Lin Xiaofei had displayed such arrogance and rude manners in front of them, he was sensitive to the matters of Lin Xiaofei's already destroyed and dragged in the mud reputation.

"What is Aunt saying." Song Yan Yi started and laughed after seeing Lin Xiaomeng's dark face, "We were wondering what was happening and came here. What matters do Aunt and Uncle have for you to come and visited the Lin residence?"

She diverted the topic to the reason why the Song family has come to the Lin residence to avoid Lin Xiaomeng's mood plummeting.

The Song family was not a fool and understood her meaning. They wiped away their uneasiness and shame from their faces. They didn't come here to quarrel with an unmarried young miss who knew nothing of the world.

"Ah, of course. Thanking niece for being sensible and reminding us." Master Song, Song Yan Yi's uncle responded.

Master Song then turned to Lin Xiaomeng.

"General Lin, we have come after hearing that you've been facing a small problem in your way. As in laws, we wanted to help with this matter and found a solution. Don't know if General Lin wants to hear it." Asked Master Song, who had his back straight and stiff.

"What does Master Song mean by that?" Lin Xiaomeng frowned. He had never heard of this 'small problem' he was talking about since he didn't specify.

"We have heard that Fourth young miss' engagement fell through and now, have trouble looking for a suitable marriage partner." Madam Song commented.

"And?" Asked Lin Xiaomeng, his expression was lacking any emotions that could tell what he was feeling about this topic.

Hearing that his tone didn't seem to be too cold and was willing to listen to them Master Song didn't hold his tongue and spoke.

"Since we're in-laws, sharing our problems and solving it together is only natural. That is why we have brought in some lists of young men who are eligible and have a good background from our family." Master Song said it with great vigor and was proud of the men who made it into the list.

A servant came to his side and took the list from him and stepped to Lin Xiaomeng to give it to him.

After Lin Xiaomeng glanced at the names, he called for Lin Xiaofei, "Fei'er, come here and take a look at this list."

Lin Xiaofei, however, didn't stand up to do as she was told to and remained seated on her chair.

"Grandfather, I'm too tired after my morning walk. I don't think I can afford to look at it." Lin Xiaofei lightly laughed, sparing no time to give them any respect.
