Wow the author must hate Su Liya 2

Hours later at Minister Zhu's manor. At the maids sleeping chamber of the eldest young Mistress's courtyard.

A petite young lady in a light blue maid uniform sat on a low stool facing a small looking glass. Su Liya leaned forward to get a clearer view of her face. She turned her face in different directions, alternating from side to side as she studied the delicate features of the body her soul occupied.

Dizzy scholar's description of Su Liya does not do justice to her fairy-like beauty. As she admired the features even she must admit that Su Liya deserved the title of No 1 beauty. 

The original Su Liya was known for her exotic beauty, she made any woman including the female leadl beauty look inferior. 

She had a soft yet pronounced beauty with her small heart-shaped face, slanted cat-like eyes with long lashes, natural dark eyelids, a small delicate pointed nose and small perky lips.

Apart from her beautiful hazel eyes, it was her tanned complexion that made her look more exotic. It didn't help that She was very petite with a beautiful body shape and nibble bones to rival that of a dancer.

It's a pity that she didn't end well, Su Liya's death was painfully slow. Su Liya could sense the author's hatred for the character as she read the book. 

Su Liya's death pained her the most, it was the bloodiest of all deaths in the series. After reading that scene Su Liya thought "the author must hate Su Liya to write such a painful end for her"

The character Su Liya was created to be the very personification of a dumb and malicious beauty. Su Liya's worst character was her greed, She had no loyalties and would betray anyone, even her mother, to improve her station in life.

The breaking point of Su Liya's life for her as she read the novel was the moment Su Liya betrayed Zhu Fengyin. It was completely unexpected since Zhu Fengyin and Su Liya acted like sisters. 

After two days in this world, though she couldn't tell the exact time in the novel she had transmigrated since Zhu Fengyin was unmarried Su Liya could only conclude that she had transmigrated the few months before Zhu Fengyin married the sixth prince Zhongshan Cheng.

'Zhongshan Cheng, now that was a nutcase she had to avoid. Zhongshan and his mother Imperial Consort Shi were a murderous pair that the original Su Liya in her thirst for power joined hands with' Su Liya thought.

Zhongshan Cheng was the sixth prince of the dynasty and the Emperor's most favoured son. His mother Imperial Consort Shi was the treasured daughter of a scholarly family in the far north of the state. 

Imperial consort caught the emperor's eyes during one of her family's rare visit to the capital twenty years ago. Zhongshan Cheng was spoiled rotten by the Emperor and Imperial Consort.

He had no respect for human life and only cared about power. Zhu Fengyin has been engaged to the sixth prince since birth. Zhu Fengyin loved Zhongshan Cheng but he only saw her as a means to getting the throne nothing more.

Su Liya still couldn't understand how she was expected to help a villainess as bad as Zhu Fengyin get a happy ending. Even Su Liya was destined to die. 

 'How can I save someone when I can not save myself' Su Liya thought when the door was pushed open and the young maid who she had first met walked in.

The maid who introduced herself as Tian Tian skipped over to her side "Sister Liya the young mistress called for you".

'The mentioned young mistress has to be Zhu Fengyin, that is the only member of the Zhu family that would be concerned about a small fly like me' Su Liya thought putting away her personal effects.

Su Liya stood " Let's go". They walked the short distance from the Maids rooms to Zhu Fengyin's rooms. Su Liya paused by the door for a few seconds, she breathed in and out. 

Seconds later she squared her shoulder and walked into the room, Zhu Fengyin's room was well furnished. There was a clear contrast between the dull and almost bare maids room and the well-furnished room of the eldest young Miss of a noble family.

When they walked in, Zhu Fengyin sat gracefully on the chair reading a book. She looked up as they walked in "Liya you look well".

Although Zhu Fengyin was smiling, Su Liya could see that the smile didn't meet her eyes. If anything, it looked superficial which Su Liya found a bit odd. 

Zhu Fengyin dismissed Tian Tian and the other maid. The smile slipped from her face as soon as they left, the temperature of the room dropped.

Zhu Fengyin dropped the cup of tea on the table loudly "How come you are still alive?" 

"Wha_ what!"

"You should be dead, no you were dead I made sure of it.... Who are you?"

Su Liya looked at her shocked, She unknowingly blurred out the question "why would you kill Su Liya". Su Liya covered her mouth with her hands as soon as that came out of her mouth.

However Zhu Fengyin shrugged, she leaned on the armrest and playing with her earnings she replied unconcerned by us Liya's question "Why shouldn't I. Su Liya isn't loyal to me, why should I keep her that close to me."

"How do you know Su Liya would betray you. Who are you?"

"I ask the questions, you should answer. That is how it is going to be"

"Since you know that Su Liya was working with the sixth prince, you must have transmigrated like me"

"Transmigrated? I don't understand, What do you mean?"

"You don't know what that means then how do you know Su Liya would betray you?"

"Maybe because I am Zhu Fengyin from many years in the future. After getting killed by someone I took as a sister, I was reborn. Judging from how you are referring to Su Liya and since you are also aware of her betrayal you must be from the future so I will ask once more ``Who are you?"
