Chapter 218: Threat
Li Chun was powerless to stop them and could only let them open the door.
At the same time, Princess Lin'an slowly walked in: "Li Chun, it seems you are really not well. Can't you see guests?"
Princess Lin'an looked up and saw Li Chun suddenly sit up and hide in the corner of the bed.
"What do you mean by this?!" Princess Lin'an approached, but then smiled.
“Princess…” Li Chun pursed her lips, her eyes filled with pity.
"Don't be afraid, I just have something I want to say to you alone," Princess Lin'an said patiently.
She spoke gently, seemingly without much malice.
Upon hearing her say that, Li's father finally realized what was going on.
"If the princess has something to say, then this subject will take his leave."
After saying that, Li's father left.
But Li Chun, on the other side, looked at her father with worry in her eyes and her body trembling.
Her eyes instantly welled up with tears of helplessness: "No...no..."
Seeing Li Chun's frightened and cowering appearance, Princess Lin'an sighed helplessly: "Why are you afraid of me? I'm not going to hurt you."
But her words weren't very credible, so Li Chun naturally didn't believe her and just hid in fear.
Seeing that she really looked mentally unstable, Princess Lin'an sighed heavily.
"Useless." She muttered under her breath, her expression growing increasingly grim.
But thinking that she still needed Li Chun's help, she could only suppress her disdain and said softly, "Li Chun, don't worry, I didn't come to you to cause trouble."
“You…” Li Chun stammered, trying to say something, but couldn’t get the words out.
"I heard that you were sick a while ago, and Ye Ruoruo came to your residence to treat you?"
Princess Lin'an smiled, but for some reason, a hint of danger lurked in her gentle eyes.
Li Chun's face suddenly turned pale, and she quickly shook her head, refusing to speak any further.
Princess Lin'an narrowed her eyes. Seeing that Li Chun was not cooperating with her, her face immediately darkened, and she coldly questioned, "I'm asking you whether it's true or not, who doesn't know?"
Princess Lin'an had heard that Ye Ruoruo had some connection with the Jinglie Prince's Mansion.
It's possible that Lin Rusi was behind Li Chun's illness, and that she sent people to treat him.
If that's really the case, then her disfigurement is inextricably linked to that bitch.
If it weren't for her good luck in finding a doctor to help with her treatment...
Wouldn't that mean I'd really have to live with that disfigured face for the rest of my life?
Princess Lin'an's eyes immediately filled with hostility.
This also startled Li Chun.
She recalled what Lin Rusi had said to her back then.
If I were to help Princess Lin'an and the others again, I would be doing something that would betray Lin Rusi.
Who knows, I might be the next one to be disfigured!
Thinking of this, Li Chun waved his hand in alarm.
"It has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me, I didn't hurt you!" she cried out in terror.
He cowered and pulled the blanket over himself, hiding and refusing to come out, looking as if he had suffered a great shock.
Princess Lin'an immediately understood; this reaction was most likely a threat.
And who that person is? It goes without saying.
However, she still needed to get a positive answer from Li Chun, and that's what she was thinking.
She continued to question him: "I ask you, do you know who harmed me, the princess?!"
But Li Chun was so frightened that she couldn't say a word.
She hid in the corner, shaking her head repeatedly, muttering, "It wasn't me who hurt you! It wasn't me who hurt you! Don't come looking for me!"
Judging from her appearance, she was clearly still recovering from her illness and had been frightened again.
Princess Lin'an scoffed, "Useless trash!"
No wonder Sun Jiayi didn't take Li Chun seriously at all back then; it seems he's not capable of anything significant with that kind of courage.
Princess Lin'an's eyes turned cold. She glanced at the maid beside her, who immediately understood.
She dismissed all the maids from the room, and then Princess Lin'an slowly stood up and moved closer to Li Chun.
"I advise you to speak your mind, or don't blame this princess for taking action against you!"
Li Chun was already terrified and couldn't withstand such a threat.
He was momentarily stunned. Seeing that she didn't react, Princess Lin'an immediately reached out and grabbed his collar hard.
"Can't you understand what I'm saying? Speak up now, who exactly harmed me?!"
Seeing that Li Chun was still stunned and didn't say anything, Princess Lin'an's patience reached its limit.
She warned fiercely, "If you don't tell me, I'll make sure you end up like Luo Lan, sold off by a guard!"
How could Li Chun not know Luo Lan's situation? Of course, she didn't want to end up like Luo Lan, so she immediately looked terrified and blurted out, "I'll talk! I'll talk! It's Lin Rusi! It's Princess Jinglie!"
However, Li Chun actually had no evidence for these matters.
But she knew that since Ye Ruoruo was able to invite Lin Rusi, it meant that this matter must be related to Lin Rusi!
It's possible that it was because of what she did that, in her haste, Li Chun didn't care whether she had said something wrong or not.
At least she didn't want to end up like Luo Lan.
Hearing this name, Princess Lin'an was not surprised at all; she had long suspected that the little wretch was not a peaceful person.
How could they possibly suffer a setback at them and then pretend nothing happened? But such thoughts are rather malicious.
It almost ruined their faces; you have to understand how important a pretty face is to their daughters.
Then I think back to this time, when she was in so much pain day and night because of her face that she couldn't eat or sleep.
Lin Rusi, however, was enjoying a sweet and loving relationship with Prince Jinglie, and who knows, she might even be laughing at her behind her back.
Princess Lin'an's face immediately contorted with rage, and she clenched her fists: "Damn Lin Rusi, I'll make you suffer!"
Thinking of this, she turned to look at Li Chun again: "Don't you hate it? Lin Rusi caused you to get this disease."
Li Chun quickly shook her head; how could she dare?
Besides, it wasn't anyone else's fault; she was just cowardly and afraid to face it.
Now, even if Princess Lin'an came, Li Chun wouldn't dare to tell her the truth.
Princess Lin'an glared at him: "Don't you want to make Lin Rusi suffer? She's the one who caused us to be in this situation, you..."
Li Chun shook her head and stopped talking, clearly indicating that she had no such intention and did not hate Lin Rusi at all.
Seeing her timid and hesitant appearance, Princess Lin'an immediately lost her patience.
"Serves you right for being sick! With someone as useless as you, who would want to take you along!"
Princess Lin'an questioned him, but Li Chun still did not react, only silently lowering his head. It was clear that Li Chun did not dare to target Lin Rusi.
She didn't want to end up like them, disfigured and losing her innocence.
