After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 95: Wishful Thinking

"No unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter." The guard stopped Sun Huixia, who was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

"I am no ordinary person. I am a member of the Sun family, a cousin of this family. You servants, why don't you open your dog eyes and see who I am?"

Sun Huixia was also annoyed by their disrespect. She only glanced at the courtyard from the entrance and could see that it was magnificent.

It was so much better than where I lived, so I couldn't help but feel a little envious.

“Ruqin, you all have your own courtyards. Why should our whole family have to live in such a small place? Go and talk to your mother. We all need to have our own courtyards too.”

When Sun Huixia and Sun Jiangyi spoke, Lin Ruqin's expression turned even more unpleasant.

"Well... you're new here, and besides, this isn't something we can decide. It's better to bring this up again in a few days."

I thought Su Huixia would be understanding.

But to everyone's surprise, the woman became even angrier after hearing this.

She felt that her cheap cousin clearly looked down on her.

"Ruqin, we've come all this way to seek refuge, is this how you treat your guests? It seems we should head back home to avoid causing trouble for others."

After saying this, Sun Huixia made a move to leave.

"No."

Lin Ruqin quickly stopped her. No matter what, she still wanted the Sun family's help, so how could she let Sun Huixia leave like this!

Now, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Lin Rusi to discuss this matter.

“That’s more like it. After all, you are the eldest daughter of this family. How can you let Lin Rusi be so arrogant? Even if you give this courtyard to me, it’s what that girl should do.”

After saying this, Sun Huixia felt very pleased with herself.

Left with no other choice, they could only turn to Lin Rusi.

"Sister, look..."

When Lin Rusi learned of their purpose, she found it somewhat laughable.

"Big sister, so you mean you want me to give up my courtyard so this Miss Sun can live here?"

"How can you say that? We're family. It's a bit inconvenient for the whole family to be crammed together since my cousin has come all this way. But don't worry, I've already tidied up the yard next door. My cousin will stay here for a few days, and you can move back after she leaves."

"Hmph, if you two were truly sisters, why would you set your sights on me? Are you perhaps unwilling to give up your courtyard to Miss Sun?"

After Lin Rusi finished speaking, both of them looked a little embarrassed. Sun Huixia could no longer hold back after hearing this, and she glared fiercely at the person in front of her.

So you're reluctant to part with it?

"No, cousin, I didn't mean that. My sister is right. Although my yard isn't as big as this one, it's still quite large. Cousin, if you don't mind, I'll give up my yard."

After Lin Rusi finished speaking, Sun Huixia nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, then you should move your things out as soon as possible. I'll be moving in in a few days." After saying that, Sun Huixia left. Lin Ruqin was dissatisfied, but there was nothing she could do now.

Lin Rusi gave her a cold look, then turned and left without saying anything more.

"Miss, if you really give up your courtyard, where will we live?" Hongzhi asked, dissatisfied.

"Fine, this woman still has some use to me, so let her be smug for a few days."

A few days later, the two officially exchanged their courtyards.

It was at this time that Sun Jiangyi and his family learned about this matter.

“Cousin, we’ve come all this way, you can’t show favoritism. Now that Huixia has her own courtyard, do you expect me, as her older brother, to stay here?”

Sun Jiangyi then looked at the person in front of him.

“Cousin, you’ve misunderstood. No matter what, my cousin is a girl, so it’s better for her to live separately. From today onwards, I will live here, and my cousin will live in my courtyard.”

Lin Ruqin was very dissatisfied with this matter.

But now that they are still of use to me, I have no choice but to try to please them carefully.

"But... it's not good for our whole family to live in such a small place. Why don't you go and talk to your father and ask him to give each of us our own courtyard?"

Lin Ruqin knew in her heart that her father probably wouldn't agree to her request.

Bringing up this matter at this time would likely provoke his displeasure.

"Well... I'll ask my father when I have the chance, but it's still a bit inconvenient these days, so my cousin can only squeeze in here for a couple more days."

I thought he was reasonable enough, but after hearing these words, his expression became even more unpleasant.

"Hmph, we've come all this way, is this how you treat your guests? In the end, it's only because Auntie is dead that you're being so unreasonable."

When Lin Ruqin heard this person mention her mother, she was a little angry, but there was nothing she could do about it now.

"Yes, my mother isn't in charge here now, so you can't blame me." Lin Ruqin said, then deliberately put on a pitiful look.

Seeing this, Sun Huaimin, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.

Only at this point did they begin to offer advice.

"Alright, just take care of this matter as soon as possible. We all know that life at home is not easy, but your cousin is our only son, and we absolutely cannot let him suffer here with us."

He has always favored his eldest son, so how could he allow Sun Jiangyi to be wronged here?

"I don't think it's necessary to go through all that trouble. Why don't we just have that girl move back and I move out? We can't exactly complain that I, a man, am being forced to live in a place like this."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruqin's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. If a man were to live in her courtyard, and word got out, it wouldn't be good for her reputation.

But now that they're so aggressive, I don't know how to refuse them.

"If your courtyard is inconvenient, why don't you let your adopted sister give up the space? She's just a little girl, why should she live in such a big place?"

In the end, he set his sights on Lin Rusi.

However, Lin Ruqin knew that this girl was very different from before, and she probably wouldn't be so easily fooled.

His expression also showed some difficulty.

"Oh, so now you're trying to take advantage of me? How can you be so sure I'll agree to this? That's just wishful thinking."

Lin Rusi, who was passing by, also overheard their conversation.
