Chapter 232: Appeasing Li Jingyang
Li Jingyang's expression was filled with displeasure, and his voice was laced with anger: "If we wait until she does something, it will be too late!"
The man was furious and wished he could order someone to teach Princess Lin'an a lesson right now.
Perhaps out of anger, a hint of displeasure flickered in his dark eyes.
"I won't let her bully me." Lin Rusi smiled gently, not at all angry.
To put it bluntly, Li Jingyang didn't see that it was actually Princess Lin'an and Zhou Xun who suffered in silence; they were the ones who were left speechless and unable to express their bitterness.
"Sisi, if you're still angry, I'll have someone teach her a lesson!" But no matter how much she tried to persuade him, Li Jingyang was still quite angry.
Especially regarding Zhou Xun.
Seeing his angry expression, Lin Rusi sighed and then looked up in confusion.
"No need. If Your Highness truly wants to help me avenge myself, please trust me, okay?"
Interrupted by her insistence, the man lowered his head helplessly and remained silent for a long time before finally giving up.
Seeing this, Lin Rusi smiled and said with a hint of indulgence, "Your Highness, don't you believe me? How about I teach her a lesson and then bring her to you to see?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but chuckle softly. The man was tickled by her charming voice and the movements of her hands, and he sighed helplessly.
Oh well, he was completely under her thumb, Li Jingyang thought helplessly.
"Alright, I'd like to see how Sisi teaches that person a lesson." Li Jingyang's words carried a subtle hint of teasing.
But he was still worried, even though he didn't mention again that he would make things difficult for Princess Lin'an.
But his eyes never left Lin Rusi, his gaze so tender it seemed to melt away.
"No one can ever make me suffer." Lin Rusi's words couldn't help but carry a hint of smugness.
The Shen sisters noticed this as well, and a hint of envy appeared in their eyes.
The two exchanged a glance, quickened their pace, and didn't disturb the two women.
……
On the other side, Lin Rusi saw Li Jingyang looking her over like that, and she turned her head away somewhat embarrassed.
Her beautiful, large eyes held a hint of helplessness: "Your Highness, look."
Lin Rusi turned around in front of him, letting Li Jingyang look her over.
Seeing her lively and energetic, the coldness emanating from Li Jingyang finally dissipated.
"It's good that you're alright, let's go home." The man gently tapped her head, his eyes full of doting affection.
Lin Rusi also looked up.
"How long has Your Highness been here? Have you been waiting for me for a long time?" She smiled, as if she knew everything, her eyes filled with teasing.
"It hasn't been long. I just heard the news and came here. Don't worry about it."
Looking down at her quirky and clever appearance, Li Jingyang shook his head and said gently, "Don't overthink it."
The man's voice brought Lin Rusi back to her senses, and she kept scanning the person in front of her.
How could that be? Obviously, he didn't just arrive.
So she scoffed, "Your Highness is always like this, doing things but refusing to admit them. Do you expect me to be moved?"
Seeing this, Li Jingyang lightly tapped her head and said with some dissatisfaction, "Who taught you that? When have I ever refused to admit it?"
“Of course not.” Lin Rusi couldn’t help but smile, no longer refuting Li Jingyang’s words, and the man probably never intended to refute them either.
The two exchanged flirtatious words, and the Shen sisters listened, finding it all exceptionally sweet.
"Your Highness and my sister are truly a perfect match." Shen Mengdie's eyes were full of envy, unlike her, who had met someone only to discover that the person was not a good person at all.
Lin Rusi was unusually shy.
Her fair face flushed slightly, and Lin Rusi fell silent.
On the other side, Shen Mengdie and the other woman also turned to look, especially when they saw Lin Rusi looking shy.
He couldn't help but smile.
……
Meanwhile, in the Lin'an Prince's Mansion, Princess Lin'an sat in the main hall, glaring fiercely at Zhou Xun.
"You, Bishop of this county, have ruined her reputation! How can you not even handle such a small matter properly?!" Princess Lin'an's face was extremely ugly.
Zhou Xun's face darkened, and he seemed somewhat displeased.
He did so much, but all he got from Princess Lin'an was a remark that he couldn't even handle such a small matter.
“The princess is right.” Zhou Xun took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and explained gently.
Seeing this, Princess Lin'an just snorted coldly, feeling a sense of unease rising in her heart.
"Fine, I won't hold it against you."
Just then, a servant rushed over: "Princess, Prince Jinglie has just arrived."
Upon hearing this, Princess Lin'an's eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately exclaimed, "Really?!"
"Really?" Princess Lin'an rushed out excitedly as soon as the servant finished speaking.
However, as soon as she rushed outside, she saw Li Jingyang holding Lin Rusi's hand very gently, and the man patted her head affectionately.
Those eyes that had previously looked at people coldly were instantly filled with doting affection, and Princess Lin'an's expression changed slightly.
He stared at the two of them in disbelief. When had he ever been so gentle with anyone?
Why Lin Rusi of all people!
Princess Lin'an clenched her fists immediately, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
She was unwilling to accept this, and thinking of this, Princess Lin'an immediately stepped forward: "Sister, what are you doing?! How can you be pulling and tugging at Brother Jingyang like this in the street?!"
Princess Lin'an's words were full of sarcasm.
Li Jingyang was suddenly interrupted by this voice, and his face turned ugly.
"What are you doing here?!" He turned his head slightly and asked coldly.
Upon seeing this, Princess Lin'an was also stunned, looking over in disbelief.
"Are you saying that I shouldn't be arguing with the princess in the street?" But the man wasn't going to let it go easily. Instead, he looked at her coldly, his eyes full of questioning.
Lin Rusi also turned around and looked over. When she saw that it was Princess Lin'an, she sneered.
"So it's Princess Lin'an. I thought it was someone else." Lin Rusi's eyes were filled with disdain.
She just stared at him quietly.
On the other side, Princess Lin'an's palms were slightly sweaty, and she looked up in disbelief.
A hint of doubt appeared in her eyes, as if she didn't understand why Li Jingyang was so fond of Lin Rusi, as if she couldn't see it clearly.
He seemed to disbelieve, but Li Jingyang wouldn't give him a chance to speak. He sneered, "It seems Princess Lin'an is quite free, having time to meddle in my affairs. Why don't I go and see if all princesses are so free and so bold?"
Princess Lin'an's expression suddenly changed, and she quickly waved her hand.
"No," Princess Lin'an quickly explained, her words betraying a hint of panic.
But the man didn't even glance at them, only scoffing coldly.
"Your Highness, I just had too many things happen today and said the wrong thing. Please don't be angry with me."
Princess Lin'an explained, and upon seeing this, Lin Rusi gave him a cold stare. Under such circumstances, he still dared to bring up today's events.
They probably still didn't realize that Li Jingyang was extremely angry about this matter.
