Chapter 80: Finding Someone to Complain To
"What's wrong? Is there something else?"
"Why would I think that? Is my expression strange right now?"
Sun Jiayi nodded, and then surprisingly mimicked the expression on Lin Rusi's face.
Seeing her troubled expression, I couldn't help but chuckle.
"This expression doesn't suit you."
"How could that be? Do you think I have no worries in Ru Si's eyes?"
Lin Rusi shook her head before continuing to explain, "I just felt that you wouldn't make such a big expression. If Jiayi were to do it, she would be more subtle."
Upon hearing this, Sun Jiayi also showed a thoughtful expression and slowly nodded.
"It is indeed more subtle, which is more suitable, since many people's eyes are on me, and being too obvious would only make things worse..."
Understanding what she meant, Lin Rusi nodded, revealing the same helpless smile.
The two smiled at each other and then started talking about other things.
I don't know how much time passed, but then I heard a soft cough from behind me.
"Father?"
"Greetings to the Duke of Jin."
Seeing Lin Rusi's appearance, the Duke of Jin smiled slightly before entering the room.
"Thank you so much, Miss Lin. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid Jiayi would have..."
"Jiayi is lucky and has a long life. Even without me, she wouldn't be in much trouble."
After all, it was discovered in my previous life, although the treatment was much more complicated.
Lin Rusi nodded to the Duke of Jin, also feeling that she should leave, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by the two who seemed to have noticed her presence.
"It's getting late, why don't we stay here and have a meal before we leave?"
"With the Duke of Jin personally extending an invitation, how could I, as a junior, refuse?"
Having confirmed that Lin Rusi was not planning to leave, the Duke of Jin did not linger and returned to his study after exchanging a few words.
Knowing that there was still some time, Lin Rusi continued to chat with others about other things.
The happier they were talking on this side, the angrier the people being driven away were on the other side.
"I'm so angry! No one has ever dared to treat me like this before!"
"Princess, please calm down. There's still a chance. Why don't we take advantage of her absence and visit the Prince?"
Princess Lin'an hadn't quite grasped the situation yet, and it took her a while to understand before a smile returned to her face.
Knowing that the matter was already settled, Luo Lan smiled and squinted as she considered how to explain it.
It should be noted that the Duke of Jin and King Jinglie were not on good terms; a little provocation could create a rift between them.
Princess Lin'an, however, did not think so much; she only thought about seeing Li Jingyang, and her steps quickened.
Luo Lan almost caught up with the other person, and had to quicken her pace to catch up with them in front of the Prince's Mansion.
"Princess, please slow down. This is not in accordance with your manners."
"Can you check if anything is messy?"
To put everyone's mind at ease, she really had to check it carefully before nodding and leading the people inside.
The guards, seeing the two, naturally wanted to stop them, but seeing the princess raise her eyebrows, they could only ask the people in the mansion to inform the prince first.
Once inside, Li Jingyang was already sitting in the lobby, calmly watching the two of them.
"May I ask what brings the Princess here today?"
"Can't I come over if I have nothing to do?"
Princess Lin'an smiled slightly at him, then sat down beside him without a care, poured herself a cup of tea, and then poured another cup for Li Jingyang.
But what she didn't notice was that after this action, the teacup was touched by someone.
"Your Highness, you don't know today, but when we went to visit the ailing Sun Jiayi, we unexpectedly ran into Lin Rusi there."
"That's not all. She was actually chatting and laughing with Sun Jiayi, and they were even being treated like sisters."
At this point, Princess Lin'an let out a soft snort.
Seeing that she leaned closer to him again, Li Jingyang silently moved his body to avoid the hand that was about to grab him.
Princess Lin'an didn't seem to care that she had accidentally grabbed nothing, and continued to complain about what happened next.
Hearing that it was all from his own perspective, Li Jingyang didn't say much, but instead glanced at Luo Lan, who was standing silently to the side.
Instead of stepping forward to help speak up, she remained silent, looking helplessly at the incessantly chattering princess.
Seeing this, Li Jingyang's eyes became even more indifferent, and he even subtly withdrew his gaze, pondering the reason why Lin Rusi went to the Duke of Jin.
If they were to seek help to deal with Lin Ruqin, the Duke of Jin wouldn't be able to offer much assistance.
There's another matter, which is how the two of them met, since Sun Jiayi and the others didn't see it as simply as it seemed.
Just as Li Jingyang was pondering these questions, he heard Princess Lin'an's sharp voice again.
"That person actually chased me away like that, he really doesn't know what's good for him."
"How did the two of them meet? Has the princess heard anything about it?"
Princess Lin'an was overjoyed to finally receive a response from Li Jingyang, but she pretended to think for a moment in order to attract more attention before letting out a sigh.
He thought the princess was playing tricks again, so he could only turn his gaze to Luo Lan beside him.
“The princess and I did hear some news. It seems that we met Sun Huier on the road and said that she poisoned her own elder sister. Sun Jiayi overheard this.”
"That's right. At first, everyone thought that Lin Rusi was dissatisfied with Sun Huier, but who knew that she would be sent to the Summer Palace by the Duke of Jin not long after."
Li Jingyang nodded, finally understanding how Lin Rusi met the other party and gaining some understanding of her subsequent actions.
He glanced at the two of them again out of the corner of his eye, then casually made up an excuse to send them away.
Once the guards at the gate were sure they had left, they hurried straight toward the Duke of Jin's residence.
As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the Duke of Jin's residence, the Duke of Jin was seen running towards it.
"Your Highness, what brings you here so suddenly today? Is there something you wish to discuss with me?"
"Having heard some news, I came to your residence to find someone."
Upon hearing this, the Duke of Jin, being no fool, naturally knew that the other party had come to see Lin Rusi, his fiancée, and directly led her into the room.
Upon seeing this tall, slender figure, Lin Rusi frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed her brow, stood up, and smiled at him.
"Didn't you say you were busy with work today? Why did you suddenly come to see me?"
"Can't?"
Why not? Could she possibly refuse?
Lin Rusi smiled again as she watched Li Jingyang walk straight up to her. Then she asked someone to sit down next to her and poured them a cup of tea.
Since there was a man in the room, the Duke of Jin could not leave him out, so he naturally chose a spot next to his daughter.
"I heard that Miss Sun is unwell, so I brought a century-old ginseng in the hope that it will be of some use."
"Thank you, Your Highness. I was just thinking of buying this for my daughter, and you sent it to me."
"That was indeed a coincidence."
