Whilst walking around the Qu residence with the three men, Lin Xiaofei couldn't stop feeling weird. Being surrounded by strange men whom she had just met today and them treating her like she was a part of their lives for years was uncomfortable yet also pleasant.
All her life she was treated with scorn and all the people that tried to get closer to her were the ones who had schemes in their minds and wanted to gain something out from her. Despite the fact she knew that Lin Xiaofei still let them stand beside her not because she wanted them to be there even after knowing their intentions.
It was just that she had no choice in the matter.
When she was an imperial concubine, she needed people whom she could use anytime. People who could be her alibi when someone framed her and people whose influence she could use against her enemies.
