I've been bullied and humiliated for thirteen years; when I wake up, I'll be bloodthirsty.

Chapter 154 Get rich overnight

Princess Li Duan frowned and thought for a moment.

That's all, I can't think of anything else. Why are you asking her?

"It's nothing, I just remembered the last time I ran into her, and I felt a little annoyed," Lu Yangyang replied.

Princess Liduan leaned closer, her eyes sparkling: "Tell me quickly, what's wrong with her? I'll help you get revenge."

"Then there's no need. I just think she's a fraudster who swindles people everywhere. You can remind the princess when you have time not to be fooled by her."

Since Lu Yangyang has accepted Princess Liduan as a friend, she cannot stand by and watch her be deceived.

She had no other grudges with the Fairy of Goodness. It was just that the previous incident about the nemesis was clearly the work of Sheng Yunzhu. She just didn't know what the relationship was between Sheng Yunzhu and this Fairy of Goodness.

"A liar? How did you know?" Her words only made Princess Liduan more curious.

Lu Yangyang had no choice but to tell Princess Liduan about what the Fairy of Goodness had said about her being a nemesis: "Although I exposed her tricks, without His Highness the Crown Prince's help, there might have been some gossip."

Princess Liduan's face flushed red with anger: "How awful! Absolutely awful! You wait, next time I see her, I'll make sure she doesn't get away with it!"

"Don't go looking for trouble for no reason. Don't forget what I told you. Remind the Princess to be careful." Lu Yangyang knew, of course, that it would be easy for Princess Liduan to cause trouble for Fairy Shangshan, but offending such a petty person was impossible to guard against. If this caused trouble for Princess Liduan, it would be a loss.

"Okay, okay," Princess Liduan replied nonchalantly, swallowing the bun in her mouth. "Then let's hurry back to the capital. I'll come visit you again after school starts in a few days."

"Let's go." Lu Yangyang nodded, went to the backyard to fetch the horse, and just then, Lin Feng caught up with them. Seeing that the two were safe and sound, he escorted them back to the capital.

When Lu Yangyang returned to the Duke of Sheng's mansion, it was already dark.

Lu Yangyang was also quite tired that day. She went to the stables to return the horse and went back to the courtyard alone.

The courtyard was as quiet as ever, with only the main house lit up.

Lu Yangyang thought no one was around, so she didn't say anything and went straight back to her room. When she got there, she saw Yuanxing with her back to her, as if she was fiddling with something.

"Yuanxing?" Lu Yangyang exclaimed.

Yuan Xing was startled and instinctively turned her head, then hurriedly knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly to Lu Yangyang: "Please spare me, young lady! Please spare me! I... I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything..."

Lu Yangyang looked at her with some surprise. Yuan Xing's face was pale, and cold sweat had soaked the hair at her temples. She hadn't paid much attention to Yuan Xing these past few days, but now she noticed that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight compared to a few days ago.

Lu Yangyang stared at her for a moment, then bent down and pulled her up. "What are you so nervous about?"

"I, I, no, I am not, I am not..." Yuanxing stammered, unable to finish a single coherent sentence.

Lu Yangyang saw the box she was fiddling with on the table.

Lu Yangyang felt that the box looked familiar, like the one her older brother had sent to her by a servant when she went to his courtyard that morning.

However, she vaguely remembered that the box was not locked, but the box in front of her was locked.

"What is this?" Lu Yangyang asked.

"Yes, it was this morning, the young master sent someone to deliver it. This servant, this servant..." Yuanxing stammered, "This servant just wanted to help the young lady tidy up."

"Okay, I got it. I'm hungry. Go to the kitchen and get my dinner," Lu Yangyang said.

"Yes, yes." Yuanxing nodded hurriedly and retreated as if she had been granted a pardon.

Lu Yangyang watched her anxious back thoughtfully, then looked down at the box on the table.

Lu Yangyang's gaze fell on the delicate little lock. She reached out, grabbed the lock, and yanked it off, then opened the box.

At the top of the box was a letter. Lu Yangyang took the letter out first and saw several things that looked like land deeds below it. Below that was a stack of silver notes, all of which were quite valuable. She counted them and found that they added up to about ten thousand taels of silver.

Lu Yangyang's eyes widened in disbelief. Why was her older brother giving her so many silver notes?

Did she suddenly become so rich?

You have to understand that just two months ago, when she first came to the capital, she was a penniless nobody who had to haggle over every ten taels of silver. In the blink of an eye, she became rich overnight.

Lu Yangyang suddenly felt a little unreal. She hugged the silver note and kissed it several times before hurriedly opening her elder brother's letter.

"Yangyang, please forgive your elder brother for leaving without saying goodbye. I have things I must do, so I have to go ahead. I don't know when I will return. I feel deeply guilty and regretful for not being able to take care of you when you were young. I hope you will be careful in everything you do and take care of yourself. I have asked my maternal grandfather to register your household registration with a relative of the Lan family. From now on, you will be Lu Yangyang. According to the laws of the Great Zhao Dynasty, no one can easily change your household registration unless you wish to. I have also arranged a courtyard for you in the capital. Although it is not large, you can live there if you do not want to stay in the Sheng family. It is not far from Taiming Academy. You can go and take a look when you have time. In addition, there is an estate outside the city, as well as some fertile fields and some silver notes nearby. My maternal grandfather has also added two shops and some fertile fields for you. I have found someone to manage them. No matter where you go or whether you get married in the future, these will be your support. You are a smart and resilient girl. I believe you can live well. Please take good care of yourself."

After reading the letter in her hand, Lu Yangyang put it down and took out a household registration document from the stack of papers inside. The document had the three characters "Lu Yangyang" written on it.

She reached out and touched the braid hanging down her shoulder, then turned to look in the mirror.

In the mirror, tears streamed down her face. She hurriedly reached out to wipe them away, but they seemed impossible to remove. As she looked at herself, she burst out laughing.

It turns out she wasn't indifferent; it's just that no one had ever been so kind to her before.

Before, she had no home or relatives, but after her older brother returned for only a few days, she truly had her own name and her own home. From now on, she is Lu Yangyang, with a name, a house, a home, and family.

So this is what it feels like to be favored, cared for, and loved.

"Bang, bang," came the knocking at the door.

Lu Yangyang quickly wiped her face, put away the letter and other things, and went to the bedside to hide them.

Then he replied, "Go in."

Granny Shen pushed open the door and walked in, smiling as she said, "Miss is back."

Lu Yangyang nodded haphazardly, then remembered something and asked, "Granny, that thing my eldest brother brought me this morning, did you lock the box?"

Lu Yangyang picked up the lock that she had pulled off the table.

Granny Shen's face paled: "So we were indeed put on the defensive?"

Lu Yangyang frowned and looked at her.
