Chapter 1428: Protect the Child (2)

"Do you have a death wish? Do you understand the consequences of this? If they find out your true identity, we're both doomed, we'll both be killed. Do you understand that? How could you be so stupid, so careless?" The voice of Lin's mother carried an increased tone of accusation, her rage palpable in the air.

Due to Lin Bei's unique situation, they didn't have any servants at home. Thus, Lin's mother didn't worry about being overheard.

A laugh threatened to escape Lin Bei's lips, but the eeriness of the moment kept it at bay.

"Mother, when you first decided to have me disguised as a boy to infiltrate the royal household, you should've considered the potential consequences. I was only a few years old, I didn't understand. But didn't you?" Lin Bei had always been a good girl, heeding her mother's words. This was the first time she had dared to retort.
