Chapter 10: The Third Prince Arrives
Looking back now, it's no wonder that with such biased and unscrupulous parents, they could cause any great trouble!
"Daddy!"
Lin Rusi stood up, intending to question them sternly, but seeing her parents staring at her with such concern, she couldn't bear it and could only repeatedly explain, "As I just said, this is all a misunderstanding..."
"Sisi!" Prime Minister Lin grabbed Lin Rusi's shoulders: "Father knows that you want harmony in the family and to be sensible and well-behaved, but your sister is too arrogant and rude and has no respect for elders. If we don't punish her, how can we win over the people?"
"If Father doesn't treat everyone equally, he won't be able to win people's hearts!" Lin Rusi retorted loudly, pushed to her limit.
Lin Ruqin had been lying low for many years, and she was able to bring down the Lin family without making a sound; she was truly capable.
If her parents don't stop, Lin Ruqin will definitely continue to try every means to kill the whole family!
She is not capable enough now; she cannot defeat Lin Ruqin, nor can she protect her family.
All I can do is offer advice and hope that the family can maintain a semblance of peace.
In this way, Lin Ruqin might be able to give up that idea and stop antagonizing her family.
After you get married, you'll each live your own lives. If things are outwardly acceptable, that's fine, isn't it?
However, Prime Minister Lin failed to grasp Lin Rusi's deeper meaning. With a flick of his sleeve, his servants rushed forward, grabbed Lin Ruqin, and tried to take her away.
Lin Rusi saw it clearly; Lin Ruqin's eyes were obviously full of resentment, but she didn't react and endured it.
She raised her hand to stop him: "If Father insists on doing so, then I will have no choice but to kneel down with you, so that others will not find out and say that Father is deaf and blind!"
Lin Ruqin stood frozen in place, feeling utterly powerless, like punching cotton.
Prime Minister Lin was getting impatient and was about to continue speaking when a loud shout suddenly came from outside the door: "His Highness the Third Prince has arrived!"
Li Zeyan?
Lin Rusi lowered her head. The reason Li Zeyan had his eye on the Lin family was that he wanted to use Prime Minister Lin's power to inherit the throne!
It was only because Lin Ruqin was not favored, and because she took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, that he favored her.
Now that she has already arranged her marriage with Li Jingyang, Li Zeyan still came over overnight...
Was it for Lin Ruqin?
Looking up, I noticed that Lin Ruqin's complexion wasn't good either.
"I'll go and meet him!" Lin Rusi's eyes flashed with murderous intent as she rushed out first.
Seeing Li Zeyan, and not in the strict palace, she couldn't suppress the hatred churning in her heart!
"What is the Third Prince doing at my house?" She gritted her teeth. "I am already engaged to Prince Jinglie. Is the Third Prince here to seek revenge, or to offer congratulations? Or perhaps, having failed to win my daughter's hand in marriage, he has set his sights on my other sisters?"
Li Zeyan's breath hitched, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Lin Rusi, since you have forgotten the bond between us and have climbed up to the Imperial Uncle, what gives you the right to question me, the Prince?"
Lin Rusi sneered: "Isn't it enough that I am the legitimate daughter of the Lin family and that I can see that the Third Prince has ulterior motives?"
"Lin Rusi!" Li Zeyan roared, "Have you forgotten what you said in front of your grandmother and father?"
"It was just polite talk, did you really believe it?" Lin Rusi raised an eyebrow, decisively tearing off the pretense.
Of course, one must say some polite words in front of the emperor and empress dowager, otherwise it would be an insult to the royal family.
But when facing Li Zeyan alone, she wasn't afraid!
I don't want to be fake!
Li Zeyan frowned deeply, looking at Lin Rusi in disbelief.
