Chapter 624 No Need to Start Over
Sheng Yunzhu looked up at Lu Yangyang with surprise and uncertainty.
She had suspected more than once that Lu Yangyang, like her, was a reincarnation.
However, she could never understand many of the things Lu Yangyang did. If Lu Yangyang was reborn like her, why didn't she come to the capital sooner? Why did she wait for the Duke's mansion to come to her on its own? And there were many other things that Lu Yangyang clearly didn't know. So she doubted again and again, and then gave up the idea each time.
But Lu Yangyang never explicitly said that she, like her, had lived a second life.
But if she hadn't been reborn, the current Lu Yangyang would be completely different from the person in her memory. In her previous life, Lu Yangyang was just a gentle and elegant young lady from a noble family. Apart from her face, she had no resemblance to the person she is now.
"Why? What happened? Why? If you didn't get a second chance at life, why? Why are you so different from before? What went wrong? Tell me! Tell me!" Sheng Yunzhu stared at Lu Yangyang with resentment. She couldn't understand why this was happening!
Why did this happen?!
"If you used your brain, you would know that I could not have been reborn like you. If I were the person in your memory, would I become smarter or more ruthless if I were to start over?" Lu Yangyang sneered, "Sheng Yunzhu, being reborn doesn't mean you'll grow smarter. People only learn from their experiences and grow, not like you, who only knows how to be vicious to the end."
"I'm vicious, Lu Yangyang! How dare you talk like that without any remorse? If you were from the same background as me, would you still say such things? You would be even more vicious than me! I just want to climb up the social ladder, I just want to get everything I want, what's wrong with that?! How dare you accuse me!" Sheng Yunzhu shouted madly.
“During the years you replaced me, I didn’t know my background. I only knew that I was an orphan abandoned by my whole family. I kept climbing up the social ladder, but I wasn’t as vicious as you,” Lu Yangyang replied sincerely. “Background can indeed hinder a person’s progress. If you want to climb up, it will be a thousand times harder than for those already at the top, but you can still choose to move forward with determination. You can’t choose your background, but you can choose to be a good person. Since you can’t even be a good person, why blame your background?”
"Shut up! What do you know? What do you know! Do you know what it's like to be born into a family these days? Do you know what it's like to be born into a family no matter how hard you try!"
“But you had the opportunity to live a better life in both your lives. In that respect, you have already surpassed many, many people. It’s just that you are not satisfied.” Lu Yangyang didn’t know what Sheng Yunzhu had experienced in her previous life, but she vaguely knew that she hadn’t lived a bad life in the Sheng State Duke’s mansion. The Sheng State Duke was only interested in profit, but a person like him wouldn’t pay attention to a maid.
On the contrary, Lan and the "she" from the previous life will definitely treat them well out of gratitude for the He family's kindness.
Even if the two of them switch identities in this life, as long as Sheng Yunzhu remains obedient and doesn't harm anyone, the Sheng family, having invested so much effort in her, will not be able to drive her away. She can still use this to plan a good future for herself.
She was never satisfied in either of her two lives, and missed all her opportunities.
"Be content? Why should I be content? I've already taken your place, I've already become you, so why can't I get everything I want!" Sheng Yunzhu shouted unwillingly.
"Because you're still the same person you were in your past life, you've never changed." Lu Yangyang bent down and grabbed Sheng Yunzhu's neck: "From the moment I returned to the capital, you were plotting how to kill me. You had the horse runaway incident at the racetrack orchestrated by you, and you spread rumors in the mansion that I was your nemesis. You even went so far as to switch my mother's medicine, harming her body and almost killing her. Later, every assassination attempt against me was your doing. Sheng Yunzhu, do you know what the worst thing we've ever done is that brought us face to face like this?"
Sheng Yunzhu glared at her, almost grinding her teeth to powder: "Yes, I did it all, I did it all, but why aren't you dead yet? Why! Why can you always dodge it!"
"You rely on your second life and knowledge to lure the First Prince into working for you, hoping to pave the way for the Third Prince and achieve your dream of becoming a princess and empress. But do you know that in their eyes, you are just a clown? Otherwise, why do you think you lost?" Lu Yangyang mocked mercilessly. "Because they already knew your secret. They were just waiting to dig out all your information, after which you would be useless to them!"
"No, no, no..." Sheng Yunzhu tried to shake her head in resistance, but Lu Yangyang held her neck tightly, and she couldn't move at all.
That woman named Wen Qingqing must have drugged her, leaving her completely powerless to resist!
"No? Why don't you think about it carefully? With your limited perspective from your past life, confined to the inner quarters, all you can hear and see are superficial matters. All you can tell them are these superficial things. Even without you, these things would still happen to you. You think you're using them, but little do you know, they're just using the information you gave them to carefully plan and profit for themselves! Don't be naive, you're just useless!" Lu Yangyang bluntly exposed Sheng Yunzhu's once-self-righteousness.
Sheng Yunzhu felt her head buzzing with Lu Yangyang's voice. It was as if countless double images appeared before her eyes. They all pushed her away without mercy, mocking her for being just a maid who had such high aspirations and dreamed of becoming an empress. It was utterly ridiculous!
"No, no, no, I'm useful, I'm useful! I'll replace you, I'll marry the Third Prince, I'll become the future Crown Princess, I'll become the Empress! All of this is mine, all of it is mine!" Sheng Yunzhu suddenly lost her senses and began to ramble on again. She kept shouting, and at times she would desperately beg Lu Yangyang for mercy, "I was wrong, Miss, I was wrong, please forgive me, you've been so good to me, I beg you, please forgive me one more time, okay? I swear, I will never have any other thoughts, I will obediently marry the person you chose for me, I will absolutely, absolutely never covet the Second Young Master again, nor will I covet your husband, really! Please let me go, please let me go, okay?"
Lu Yangyang sighed, "I haven't finished what I was saying yet, Sheng Yunzhu. The biggest mistake we made was not eliminating the root of the problem and preventing future troubles, which is why we are in this situation today."
Lu Yangyang tightened her grip and snapped Sheng Yunzhu's neck. "So, go well, you don't need to start over."
