Looking at the dress and the hairclip I was pretty much satisfied she had a good choice.

I remember Shen Mia was the only one who cried when the villainess died and always used to tell her that her family was her but she always ignored and gave her mean comments.

This time I will treat her well and take her with me to my peaceful life.

"Good job" I patted Shen Mia's back and sat on the chair.

She was shocked but she gave back the princess her 80 taels of silver which was left. Since I wanted to live a peaceful life I think money is very important so I kept the money in my small wardrobe.

Shen Mia was shocked to see that she has changed after she woke up and did not try to make a fool of her. She was happy with the change.

And started to get her princess ready for the banquet.

“Lady, you look so pretty” Shen Mia said and excitedly started making her hair

After she saw herself in the mirror she looked so pretty for the first time.

And Xi Lanyon knew that she looked very pretty as soon as she was ready the head maid came without knocking on the door wand told her that everyone is waiting for her in the carriage but when the head mistress saw her, she was shocked

“Why are you not wearing the dress which mistress sent you” the head maid shouted

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

Xi Lanyon was shocked to see a maid behaving like this with her

“Who are you to shout at me, get out” Xi Lanyon said to the head maid

Even in her previous life no one used to shout or used to give her orders like that, being a princess is so bad. I want my previous life back.

And started walking towards the Carriage, as soon as stepmother saw me

“what are you wearing, where are the ornaments that I sent you” My stepmother said while looking up and down at me

“The dress was torn and I am not feeling well to wear these many ornaments that is why I wore this” saying this I started stepping up in the carriage without caring because I just wanted to head up there soon and have a good feast.

"No, you cannot meet the crown prince like this, what will they think of us? go and change we will wait? And why did you not apply any makeup" stepmother said with an angry face.

The second sister was looking at me she was pretty but not like me who was heavenly pretty. She was also not wearing any jewellery or anything, and was not saying anything against her mother who kept on criticizing me. I don’t think she was really a good person like everyone thought.

“They will think that my mother is not properly treating you” my second sister said

Ahh she is so petty why did the crown prince like her.

"No, we cannot make the emperor wait, let her be what she is looking like" my father said from the front of the carriage without looking at me

I think my father is not that bad

The carriage ride was pin drop silence no one said anything, stepmother was angry because now her daughter was not able to shine when I looked pretty

As soon as we entered the guards announced our name

Duke Thomas and his daughter princess Xi Lanyon

But did not announce my stepmother’s or daughter name which put a scowl on her name which was noticed by my father

“I will give you a name soon, darling” father said to my stepmother

I felt like puking because as I remember my father gained all his name and property because of my mother who died. And now my stepmother wants to take my mother’s name I won’t let her do this

At least I can do this much for the body and give filial piety to her own mother.
