13 New Studen (1/2)

Jun Hua remained standing in front of her classroom when she heard another girl's voice calling her. She turned her head and faced with an older girl she met at the imperial party, Lin Yuan.

”Jun Hua, you finally decided to attend school.”

Lin Yuan smiled widely, showing her perfect set of white teeth. She hadn't heard anything from Jun Hua for two months now, so she was honestly happy to see the girl again. Without them meeting here, she probably wouldn't have any chance to get close with that person at all.

Jun Hua had noticed her real intention long ago, but she allowed Lin Yuan to get close with her. Lin Yuan didn't do any actual damage to her and only tried to gain her favor. Besides, Jun Hua knew that this girl's wish could never come true, so there was no harm in befriending her.

Lin Yuan stared at the classroom, her brows creased. ”Right, have you met with Lin San? She must have made some trouble to you. Don't really mind it. She doesn't have any evil intention.”

No evil intention? Jun Hua was pretty sure that all Lin San hoped for was for her to die along with her family. Furthermore, her pair of arrogant eyes had never even once looked at her properly.

The next second, Jun Hua stared at Lin Yuan. She got a feeling that there was something strange with Lin Yuan. Why was she protecting Lin San? Given the innate jealous character of Chun Maora, there was no way she would have left Lin Yuan stay out of trouble. Shouldn't Lin Yuan feel any hatred towards them?

”Why are you being protective of her all of a sudden?”

Lin Yuan didn't expect Jun Hua to point the matter out so openly. In all honesty, she too didn't want to do this, but she didn't have any choice.

”My marriage was set after my lesson is over. It's only 4 months away,” Lin Yuan answered reluctantly.

Realization dawned on Jun Hua. In this era where a woman only lived for the sake of her man, marriage was something that is bound to change the entire course of her life. Whether she lives well or not would depend on her husband. Because Lin Yuan was merely a concubine-born, her marriage would be set by Chun Maora being that she was the main wife. If Lin Yuan wanted to get a better groom, she could only latch onto her good side.

Jun Hua stared at the girl in front of her. It was no wonder that she wanted to get into the good side of Lin San. Lin Yuan certainly was incapable to get a man of higher status, but at least she could get a decent low-ranking official to be her husband. That is, if Chun Maora and Lin Tang both agreed. Otherwise, she would probably just become someone else's concubine.

”Have they chosen a partner for you?”
