Chapter 197: No Distinction Between Noble and Humble
After hearing this, Lin Rusi, no matter how many excuses she had, could no longer say no.
Besides, she really didn't know how to refuse such a shameless person, so she could only sigh softly and was about to agree: "Fine, then..."
However, before she could finish speaking, Wanqi and Wanxia suddenly stepped forward and stood between Lin Rusi and Li Zeyan.
"Third Prince, aren't you going too far?!"
He could maintain a gentle and refined image with Lin Rusi and the other woman, which was barely acceptable, but with the two maids...
He had completely lost his patience, and his voice suddenly turned cold: "You two brats! Don't interfere in my business!"
"The princess's affairs are our affairs!" The two were almost evenly matched.
Seeing this, Lin Rusi's expression softened slightly. It would be quite troublesome for her to deal with Li Zeyan.
"You brat!" Li Zeyan was a little annoyed and immediately wanted to make a move, but he had just reached out his hand.
Wanqi and the other woman swiftly stopped Li Zeyan.
Wanxia kicked out, sending Li Zeyan flying. The three of them started fighting. Both of them were trained fighters.
Li Zeyan was completely powerless to fight back and could only lie pitifully on the ground.
He struggled to his feet. Being knocked to the ground in front of so many people made Li Zeyan feel extremely uncomfortable, and he felt a burning sensation on his face.
Lin Rusi glared fiercely at the two girls, and when she saw how protective the two girls were of her, she snorted coldly.
"I didn't want to argue with you, but you've been far too rude. I don't know why you're blocking our way, but if you continue, I will definitely not be polite to you!"
Lin Rusi's voice was unusually cold, and Li Zeyan was taken aback.
"Sister-in-law? I was just inviting you over," Li Zeyan explained.
However, before he could finish speaking, Lin Rusi interrupted him with a cold laugh.
"No need, this princess does not wish to be a guest."
After saying that, she gave him a cold, disdainful look: "Why aren't you getting out of here?!"
"Since my sister-in-law is unwilling, then forget it." Li Zeyan was unwilling, but he couldn't make things difficult for the two of them. His eyes turned slightly cold.
His eyes grew even colder, especially when he looked at Wanqi and Wanxia, with a hint of annoyance in them.
"I hope my sister-in-law won't misunderstand my intentions." Li Zeyan's extremely hypocritical words obviously received no response.
The man had no choice but to leave.
……
After Li Zeyan left, Shen Mengdie remained silent beside Lin Rusi until she suddenly came to her senses.
"Sister, I think I understand now."
Throughout the long journey, Shen Mengdie clearly witnessed Li Zeyan's unreasonable and argumentative behavior.
This man was definitely not the man she had imagined. Shen Mengdie's last bit of goodwill towards him, based on his appearance, completely vanished.
"What do you understand?" Lin Rusi asked in a low voice, puzzled.
Hearing this, Shen Mengdie pouted and said with some dissatisfaction, "Sister, I don't like this man at all. If he were a true gentleman, he wouldn't be pestering me like this."
"Besides, sister, I think the way he looks at you is a bit strange. Putting everything else aside, you're already married, so he shouldn't be doing this."
Shen Mengdie didn't know much; she could only see what she saw. But even so, she still didn't like that man.
"I should thank my sister for letting me see through what kind of person the Third Prince really is!"
Shen Mengdie was certain that this emotion made Lin Rusi feel exceptionally warm; she knew that Shen Mengdie was not a bad person.
She was simple-minded and genuinely stood up for me, which moved me deeply.
Just then, a somewhat sarcastic voice rang out.
"Oh, let me hear it too. I also want to know what kind of person the Third Prince is."
Lin Rusi and the other woman were extremely familiar with the voice, so they turned their heads instinctively without thinking.
Princess Lin'an and Luo Lan arrived at some unknown time, and it was unclear how much they had overheard. Lin Rusi gave them a rather unfriendly look.
"I won't trouble the princess to concern herself with matters between my sister and me." With that, Lin Rusi, not wanting to get entangled with the two, turned to leave.
Seeing this, Princess Lin'an was extremely dissatisfied.
Lin Rusi has now risen to a high position, becoming the Princess Consort of Jinglie; she cannot afford to offend her.
But the girl next to her...
Princess Lin'an's gaze instantly fell on Shen Mengdie, and Lin Rusi clearly caught the fleeting malice in her eyes.
Her eyes immediately turned cold: "Princess, we're leaving now."
"Wait! When did I say you could leave? This is a girl from the Shen family. I heard you mention the Third Prince. Why don't you tell me about him too?"
Princess Lin'an was clearly trying to make things difficult for Shen Mengdie, but Lin Rusi sighed and naturally wouldn't let Shen Mengdie be made to suffer.
"It was I who spoke to Mengdie. What does the princess mean by this?" Lin Rusi retorted, her eyes icy.
He was even more protective of his own, shielding Shen Mengdie behind him.
Princess Lin'an was also annoyed by her protectiveness: "What does Your Highness mean by this? Do you think I'm going to eat this girl?"
“Yes, since the princess knows this herself, she shouldn’t come out and scare people,” Lin Rusi said frankly.
Without even trying to put on an act, Princess Lin'an's face grew even uglier, but she was rendered speechless.
Luo Lan, who speaks without thinking, questioned with dissatisfaction, "So, Princess and Princess Consort should also be careful with their words?"
Such questioning made Lin Rusi's eyes grow even colder; he knew that in this country, hierarchy was of utmost importance.
Mo Jingyang is an elder, while these princesses are juniors. If they don't call her "sister-in-law" when they see her, the princess, it would be considered a great disrespect.
However, these two people clearly hadn't realized their mistake, and said with a hint of arrogance, "What's wrong? Princess Jinglie, have you run out of things to say?"
Princess Lin'an, in particular, looked even more smug, as if she had gained some advantage and thought she had some kind of advantage.
In reality, Lin Rusi simply didn't want to argue with them.
Thinking of this, Lin Rusi scoffed and said disdainfully, "You two are clearly juniors, yet you not only fail to bow to me, the princess, but also act arrogantly? It seems I should have a good talk with my husband."
The younger generation in the court were all afraid of Li Jingyang because he was cold and ruthless, and always indifferent to everyone.
However, Lin Rusi is an exception; it's just that neither of them has realized the seriousness of the situation.
However, when they heard Lin Rusi go back and tell Li Jingyang, their expressions changed drastically.
"Princess Jinglie! You've gone too far! We were just telling the truth, are you going to go back and complain like this?" Luo Lan, being rather dim-witted, actually retorted.
