Chapter 60: Warning
Lin Ruqin was hiding in her room, weeping uncontrollably.
She had thought that since she had been missing for so long, Lin Lezheng would care about her when he saw her return.
Even if she had shown concern before scolding him, she wouldn't have been so upset.
Lin Lezheng, on the other hand, scolded her severely, treating her like his own daughter.
At this moment, Hongzhi walked in hurriedly with her head down and small, quick steps.
Lin Ruqin wiped away her tears and looked up at her. "What's wrong?"
Hongzhi's face was pale, and her eyes were filled with panic.
Lin Ruqin had a strange, bad feeling.
She leaned forward slightly and asked nervously, "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Hongzhi bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then carefully said, "The Third Prince has arrived."
"what?"
The Third Prince's arrival at this time must be because of the kidnapping.
She clenched her fists, her heart pounding wildly.
The next second, Li Zeyan's cold, eerie voice rang out.
"Lin Ruqin, are you feeling any better?"
Lin Ruqin looked up and saw Li Zeyan, dressed in a long robe, striding in.
He wore a concerned smile, but the icy look in his eyes sent chills down Lin Ruqin's spine.
She stiffened her neck, swallowed hard, and quickly stood up to bow to Li Zeyan.
Li Zeyan helped her up, his smile deepening. "Why are you suddenly so nervous?"
"I'm not going to eat people, so get up now."
Lin Ruqin's heart was in her throat; she had a feeling that Li Zeyan's sudden visit to see her was not out of kindness.
She shivered, and shakily raised her eyes, meeting Li Zeyan's fierce gaze.
Upon meeting her gaze, she swiftly looked away.
Suddenly, a chill ran down my chin.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Lin Ruqin awkwardly raised her eyes.
"The Third Prince."
Li Zeyan gradually increased the pressure on his hands, and Lin Ruqin groaned, her face contorted in pain.
She blinked, her eyes turning red, and her dark, glistening eyes becoming misty.
"Third Prince, what are you doing?"
Li Zeyan's expression gradually turned ferocious, and he said, word by word, "What did you say you wanted to do?"
Hongzhipu knelt down abruptly and began to beg for mercy for Lin Ruqin.
"Third Prince, please be merciful and spare the young lady!"
"Miss has been kidnapped..."
Li Zeyan growled, his eyes turning bloodshot, "Shut up!"
Hongzhi trembled with fear, barely daring to breathe, her head pressed directly against the ground.
Lin Ruqin also felt cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She swallowed hard, her eyes widening to the size of walnuts.
"Three princes..."
Li Zeyan's facial features suddenly magnified several times, and his voice became even colder and more terrifying.
"Lin Ruqin, remember who you are."
"You are my future princess consort, not just some Tom, Dick, or Harry!"
“Your every move will attract attention and speculation. If you spread any more unpleasant rumors to my ears,”
He increased the pressure on his hands, as if he wanted to crush Lin Ruqin's jawbone.
Lin Ruqin groaned, her features contorted in pain.
Tears streamed down her face as she nodded repeatedly. "Third Prince, I know I was wrong. I will be more careful in the future and will not spread any more rumors."
She stared in horror at Li Zeyan, who was standing right in front of her, her voice trembling.
Li Zeyan sneered, "You'd better remember what you said today. If I hear any more nonsense in the future, I will definitely not let you off!"
He unceremoniously shook off his chin, which had been pinched red.
Lin Ruqin groaned and fell to the ground with a thud.
She lay sprawled on the ground, looking timidly at Li Zeyan, who exuded a chilling and menacing aura.
Li Zeyan looked down at her, his gaze as cold as ice.
Just looking at it makes one feel intimidated.
Li Zeyan gave her another cold look, pursed his lips, and walked out without saying a word.
Lin Ruqin rubbed her chin, her eyes turning bloodshot.
Hongzhi stumbled forward and helped Lin Ruqin up. "Miss Chang, are you alright?"
"Miss Eldest."
Lin Ruqin slowly stood up, wiped away her tears, and sneered, "It's nothing."
She clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with fierce killing intent.
It's all Lin Rusi's fault.
She will get her revenge on Lin Rusi for all the grievances she has suffered today!
When Li Zeyan left Zhaixing Pavilion, Dong Xiaoyue was hiding behind the artificial hill.
Li Zeyan was clearly no ordinary person, and everyone in the Lin family addressed him as the Third Prince.
Dong Xiaoyue's heart was pounding; she hadn't expected there to be so many important figures in the capital.
If she had rashly appeared to find Lin Ruqin, she might have offended the Third Prince.
She bit her lower lip, clenched her fists, and felt a wave of fear wash over her.
She could no longer continue to live like this in the capital.
She needs to find a powerful backer!
If she can't find a powerful backer, her father will send her back to her hometown again.
Having made up her mind, Dong Xiaoyue left in a hurry.
Dong Xiaoyue thought long and hard, but couldn't figure out which powerful backer she should seek.
She has completely swayed Lin Rusi, so she definitely can't be her little nephew.
Just as Dong Xiaoyue was at a loss for what to do, a person came to mind.
Her eyes suddenly lit up. "That's right, how could I have forgotten about her?"
Dong Xiaoyue went straight to the Marquis of Lin'an's residence.
"You're the one who wants to see me?"
Princess Lin'an raised an eyebrow, her eyes half-closed, staring intently at Dong Xiaoyue.
Dong Xiaoyue knelt on the ground, "Princess Lin'an, my daughter offended you before, I was ungrateful."
“Now that my daughter has realized her mistake, I beg Princess Lin’an to give her another chance.”
Princess Lin'an frowned. "Giving you a chance?"
Dong Xiaoyue's eyes darted around. "This humble girl wishes to curry favor with the Princess."
Princess Lin'an was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, "You have good taste, to actually come to me, the princess."
“Your Highness is of noble status. If I could receive Your Highness’s protection, I would never be bullied again.”
"I just don't know if Your Highness would be so magnanimous as to forgive my ignorant actions before."
Princess Lin'an picked up her teacup and slowly took a sip. "Alright, I can give you a chance."
"However, you must meet the requirements I mentioned, or don't even think about it."
Dong Xiaoyue's eyes lit up, and her face was filled with a fawning smile.
"Princess, please ask. I am willing to go through fire and water for you!"
Princess Lin'an chuckled and nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, let me see your sincerity."
Dong Xiaoyue kowtowed repeatedly, expressing her deepest gratitude to Princess Lin'an.
However, the demands made by Princess Lin'an were not easy to meet, and it seemed that she was being deliberately made difficult for.
She gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and went ahead and did it.
