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

Chapter 144: Revenge

"Oh dear, sister, what happened? Why did you fall into the water all of a sudden? What happened?"

The concubine who had just pushed the woman into the water was somewhat dissatisfied. Why didn't this woman leave her life here?

However, no matter what, Li Zeyan still harbors his dissatisfaction, so he can't show it too obviously.

"You...you pushed me."

Lin Ruqin was already feeling somewhat depressed, and when she heard this voice, she felt that it was the person who had pushed her into the water earlier.

Upon hearing this, the concubine deliberately feigned a wronged expression.

“Princess, I’ve always been very respectful to you. How could I possibly do such a thing? Besides, it was the Third Prince who sent me to find you today. If I were to push you into the water at a time like this, I would be the first person to be suspected. I’m not that stupid.”

Li Zeyan heard his concubine's words and thought they made sense.

Besides, he didn't like this woman at all, so he didn't want to pay any attention to her.

"I think Hua Rui is right. You've always been a crazy woman. Who knows how you fell into the water? If you're caught here and make false accusations, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Lin Rusi, who was standing next to him, was not surprised to hear this.

Li Zeyan has always been such an inhuman person.

Even if Lin Ruqin were killed today, it wouldn't be surprising to anyone.

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruqin felt uneasy, but before she could say anything more, she fainted.

Although Li Zeyan didn't want to pay attention, his uncle and Lin Rusi were both there, so he couldn't go too far with his actions.

They didn't have any intention of staying to continue playing for a while.

"Disgraceful thing, you'd better send this woman back right now."

After saying that, he left the ship with his group of beautiful women, completely ignoring Lin Ruqin.

"This third son is going too far these days. Treating his wife like this in front of so many people is a disgrace to our royal family."

After thinking about this, Li Jingyang felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But no matter what, this is someone else's family matter, and I don't need to interfere.

"Are you alright? If I remember correctly, you went to talk to that woman. Did she do anything to you?"

Lin Rusi shook her head.

"The older sister was trying to push me into the water, but luckily I noticed. As for how I accidentally fell into the water, I have no idea."

But thinking about this incident reminded me of my past experiences.

Back then, I was just like Lin Ruqin now, being pushed into the water by a concubine from a brothel.

However, her husband, Li Zeyan, had no intention of investigating at all; instead, he felt ashamed of himself.

From then on, she was no longer treated well by him, and the relationship between the two deteriorated, which indirectly led to her fate in her previous life.

After thinking about this, his expression turned somewhat grim.

Li Jingyang, standing to the side, thought that Lin Rusi had been frightened.

"Sisi, don't be afraid. I will help investigate this matter. No matter what, that woman is your half-sister. We can't allow Lao San to treat her like this. Don't worry, I will give you an explanation."

Lin Rusi shook her head.

If Lin Ruqin could experience all the things I've been through in the past, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Let's see how this woman, who always prides herself on being gentle, would handle such a situation.

That's when he interrupted Li Jingyang.

"No need. This is their own family matter, and we, as outsiders, shouldn't interfere too much. If they are really wronged, my older sister will tell my father."

"But……"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang looked at the woman in front of him, his expression somewhat off, still feeling very sorry for her.

However, since Lin Rusi has already said so, it's best not to get too involved in this matter.

At this moment, Li Zeyan looked at Lin Ruqin and finally felt dissatisfied. How could such a woman be worthy of being his queen?

"Master, should we go back now? I don't think my sister can stay here any longer in this condition,"

The concubine deliberately spoke up at this moment.

Li Zeyan was in a pretty good mood today, but after experiencing this, he had no intention of staying here any longer.

His expression grew increasingly grim at this point.

She felt that all of this was Lin Ruqin's fault.

"Go back. From now on, let this woman stay obediently in her own courtyard. No one is allowed to see her without my permission."

Li Zeyan spoke up at this moment.

Although the concubine still harbored some resentment, as long as the two of them didn't meet, it would be a good thing for her.

That way, he would always have a chance to drag Lin Ruqin down with him and take her place.

"Yes... Your Highness, rest assured, I will take Princess Consort back to her own courtyard right now."

Lin Ruqin is still in a coma and has a fever due to catching a cold.

Hongzhi was a little worried.

"Your Highness, our young lady seems to have a fever. Could you please call a doctor to take a look at her? It would be terrible if anything were to happen to her."

Upon hearing this, Li Zeyan completely disregarded the little girl's words.

"It's already so late, where am I supposed to find a doctor for your young lady? Let her rest well for the night, and I will arrange for someone to come and visit her tomorrow."

After saying this, he took his two concubines and left, completely ignoring Lin Ruqin.

Hongzhi knew she couldn't count on him anymore.

Now, looking at his young mistress, he feels somewhat worried, but there's nothing he can do about it.

Lin Ruqin has no idea what happened. She is still unconscious and only vaguely sees memories of her past life.

At that time, I was the only one who was the pride of heaven and my father's pride.

The person standing next to Li Jingyang was also her.

Si Yu and Lin Rusi were nothing more than stepping stones for him.

But why has it turned out this way? Did Lin Rusi really steal the life that should have been hers?

Thinking of this, Lin Ruqin woke up with a start. Could it be that the scenes she had just seen were really just a dream?

"Miss...you're finally awake."

"Lin Rusi! It's all Lin Rusi's fault! This woman stole everything from me, and I will make her pay the price!"

Lin Ruqin knew that the things in her dream must have actually happened.

All of this must be closely related to Lin Rusi!
