Chapter 171: Returning to the Lin Family
Chapter 171: Returning to the Lin Family
Hongzhi, who was standing to the side, only felt nervous after hearing the conversation between the two.
Could it be that Lin Rusi is seeking revenge?
"Second Miss, the eldest young lady was only wronged by the third prince, so she is a little dazed. What she said today is just nonsense. Please don't take it to heart, Second Miss."
After Hongzhi finished speaking, Lin Rusi merely gave a cold laugh.
I didn't expect that this girl would be so loyal to Lin Ruqin.
"Don't worry, we are sisters. How could I possibly make things difficult for you? Today, I just want to take my elder sister back to the Lin family."
At this moment, Hongzhi became increasingly nervous.
For some reason, Lin Rusi looked particularly frightening today.
Normally, she would at least appear gentle and refined on the surface, but today, the hatred in Lin Rusi's eyes was impossible to hide.
They soon returned to the Lin family home.
The carriage stopped, and the steward assumed that the two young ladies had returned to visit their parents, so he happily informed Lin Lezheng.
Although Lin Lezheng usually didn't care much about his two daughters, he was still quite happy to hear this news.
Only then did they hurriedly come out to greet them.
"Sisi, what's wrong with your sister?"
Hongzhi was about to answer, but Lin Rusi's look deterred her.
She knew that if she talked nonsense today, Lin Rusi might kill her.
Only then did they wisely shut their mouths.
“My older sister and I went out for a walk just now. She was too tired, so she fell asleep. Wanxia, take her back to my yard first.”
"This……"
Lin Lezheng also had some doubts and wanted to continue to ask, but Lin Rusi simply ignored him.
Then he went straight back to his own courtyard.
Although Lin Lezheng was somewhat angry, Lin Rusi was now the Princess Consort of Jinglie, and she was not someone he could easily offend.
"you……"
He wanted to ask more questions, but the butler reminded him.
"My lord, let it go. Prince Jinglie and his wife have always had a good relationship. It's not wise to offend them now."
Upon hearing this, Lin Lezheng realized that if this matter affected the entire Lin family, it would be a great loss.
But just now, I noticed that Lin Ruqin's appearance seemed a bit off.
"Alright, they are sisters after all, so there shouldn't be any great danger. You are not allowed to mention what happened today to anyone. If anyone asks, just say that the two young ladies came back to visit their relatives."
The servants around him then quickly agreed to the matter.
Soon, he took Lin Ruqin back to the courtyard where he used to live.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?"
"No need to rush. Just throw this woman onto the bed. I have other things to take care of."
After saying this, he went to the outer room and met Ye Ruoruo.
“Miss Ye, this is all a conflict between my elder sister and me. I hope that not too many people will know about what happened today.”
Ye Ruoruo knew very well that these wealthy and powerful families always had some unspeakable secrets.
Furthermore, I believe that Lin Rusi is a person who would not do bad things.
He nodded and went outside to wait.
Seeing that Ye Ruoruo was sensible, Lin Rusi didn't say anything more.
At this moment, Lin Le arrived at Si Yu's courtyard. Thinking about what had just happened, he felt worried.
"Madam, Sisi is back. Are you aware of this matter?"
Si Yu was also somewhat surprised when she heard this.
My daughter usually tells me in advance when she's coming home. What happened today? Why didn't I know anything about it?
"How come I didn't know? What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Lezheng had no choice but to tell her what had just happened between the two sisters.
Si Yu was startled.
Even if he doesn't particularly like Lin Ruqin, if his daughter does something bad to her, it will definitely have a significant impact on him.
I need to find out the truth about this myself.
"What exactly is going on?"
"I'm not quite sure either. That girl won't let me in right now. You're Sisi's mother, why don't you go and give it a try?"
Lin Lezheng also knew his daughter's temper.
Upon hearing this, Si Yu did not refuse the offer and went to her daughter's courtyard.
However, there were several attendants guarding the outside, preventing anyone from entering.
"What do you mean by this? I am the birth mother of your queen. Am I not allowed to enter?"
Seeing this, Si Yu felt even more worried, wondering what had happened to the two sisters.
We also cannot allow Lin Ruqin to negatively influence her daughter.
"Madam, our Princess has said that no one is allowed to enter, including you."
Lin Rusi knew that Lin Ruqin must have said something somewhere, which was why she said those nonsensical things to her today.
Since that's the case, we must find out the whole story today.
Otherwise, it will definitely cause trouble for yourself.
"you……"
Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Ye Ruoruo quickly came out.
"lady."
Seeing this, Si Yu, although she did not recognize Ye Ruoruo, believed that she was someone close to Lin Rusi.
As a mother, I must find out the truth about this matter; otherwise, if a serious mistake is made, it will be too late to regret it later.
“Young lady, please let me in. I don’t know what’s wrong with this child today. If he has done something bad, we’ll be in big trouble.”
The two sisters have never had a good relationship.
Listening to Lin Lezheng's description, I realized the importance of this matter.
Ye Ruoruo also had a headache.
After learning that this was Lin Rusi's mother, he didn't want to upset the woman too much.
"Please don't misunderstand. The two young ladies just have some things to discuss. I reckon it's something important that you can't know. Madam, you don't need to worry too much."
"But……"
Upon hearing this, Si Yu also felt somewhat doubtful.
“Madam, Miss is so intelligent, how could she do something so foolish? Miss sent me out to persuade you so as not to worry you. Please don’t take this to heart.”
Lin Lezheng, who was standing next to him, also felt a little uncomfortable. If something bad happened, it would affect the reputation of the entire family.
Moreover, he couldn't afford to offend either the Third Prince or Prince Jinglie.
"Well...why don't you let us in?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ruoruo knew that this matter could not be compromised, so she looked apologetic.
"As the princess just said, she's finally come back and wants me to give you both a check-up. If you two have no objections, how about we go over there and take a look?"
After Ye Ruoruo finished speaking, the two of them, though wanting to find out the truth of the matter, had no choice but to leave helplessly.
