Chapter 239: Handkerchief Tearing
When Wu Tianqi woke up from his daze, he knew that he was... finished.
He and Lin Jiaoyue were seen in such a shameful state, and this stigma will never be washed away in their lifetime!
"Bitch!" He gritted his teeth and glared at the woman under him.
He grabbed the clothes beside him and put them on casually, looking like he had just walked out of an ice cellar.
A pair of curious eyes outside the door stared at him intently, leaving him nowhere to hide.
He wanted to use his power as a prince to force them to retreat, but... he didn't have any power.
The guards arrived late, pushed through the crowd, and led him out. At that moment, his mind went blank.
Even after returning to the prince's mansion, it took him a long time to recover.
And at this moment he also figured it out: he was tricked by Lin Jiaoyue!
What about sending Cheng Jintong? What about helping him get the Minister of Rites's support? It's all fake! She's trying to get herself married into the prince's palace!
Otherwise, why did she enter the room instead of Cheng Jintong?
Why did they agree to only sprinkle aphrodisiac powder on Cheng Jintong's clothes, but there was some in the house? Instead, he fell for it!
Why did his two subordinates faint for no apparent reason? Only Lin Jiaoyue knew where they were!
Lin Jiaoyue! Good! Good! You're great!
Wu Tianqi gritted his teeth in anger. But just when he was furious, someone came from the palace.
A young eunuch, who was delivering a message to a minister, entered the Fourth Prince's residence with impunity. He showed no respect to Wu Tianqi when he saw him. He curled his lips and said, "Your Majesty has heard about the excitement at today's garden party and has sent me here to pass on a message to Your Highness, inviting you to the palace for a detailed discussion."
Wu Tianqi's face was as pale as gold paper. He gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for the trouble, eunuch. I will enter the palace now."
The young eunuch glanced at him and said, "Hurry up then..."
After speaking, he walked away.
The two subordinates who had just been kneeling in the room came forward on their knees: "Your Highness, you have been framed! Your Highness, we are willing to enter the palace and present the truth to His Majesty."
"Get out!" Wu Tianqi shouted angrily.
……
In the evening, just as the lights were turned on in Zhuxiang Yayuan, Mu Rong came over.
"Rong Rong feels like home here." He stood with his hands behind his hands, quietly looking at the elegant and unique backyard.
Xu Rongrong was feeding her rabbits and wasn't surprised to see him. "Has there been a conclusion to what happened at today's garden party so quickly?"
Mu Rong walked over with a smile. He imitated Xu Rongrong and picked up a carrot, but almost poked the two little ones' noses...
After a moment of awkwardness, Mu Rong coughed twice. "The Fourth Prince came to the palace to request permission to marry Lin Jiaoyue... He said he's long had feelings for her, and he drank two extra glasses of wine at the garden party today and lost control."
"Your Majesty believes it?" Xu Rongrong sneered.
Mu Rong sat beside her and said, "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Someone needs to finish this matter."
Seeing the two little ones' bellies bulging with food, Xu Rongrong held them in her arms and said, "I'm afraid that after this incident, the Fourth Prince has no chance of recovery in His Majesty's heart and has been completely despised."
Mu Rong smiled and said, "But after all, their wish has been fulfilled. They can be considered a couple in the end." Xu Rongrong tilted her head to look at him, not knowing whether it was okay or not.
In her previous life, Lin Jiaoyue had paid a lot for Wu Tianqi, and in this life... aren't they "finally together"?
"After all, she is the daughter of the Minister of War. Will this give the Fourth Prince a chance to turn the tables?" Xu Rongrong asked.
Mu Rong shook his head. "Once Third Brother has settled the border trade issue and brought the scattered Great Zhou people back to the capital, the situation will be settled! Besides, Third Sister-in-law is pregnant... When the child is safely born, Third Brother will take over the Eastern Palace."
Xu Rongrong held her chin in her hand and said, "You must take good care of Sister Mu."
"Don't worry, I'll let Mu Wu guard that place."
In this life, he will definitely ensure that his third brother's child is born safely.
Mu Rong naturally had dinner at Zhuxiang Yayuan.
However, after only one day of separation from Xu Rongrong, his heart felt as if it had been empty for a long time. When he returned to the Marquis' Mansion and looked at the empty Xinghui Hall, he seemed to feel the chill he had felt when Xu Rongrong was seriously ill.
May 6th, it’s still too long...
……
Inside the Lin Mansion, Lin Jiaoyue's cheeks were red and swollen.
This was caused by the slap from Minister Lin. Looking at his daughter who was slumped on the ground and crying bitterly, Lin Zhihen only felt a dull pain in his palm.
Mrs. Lin stood there crying silently.
At this moment, she was glad that she only gave birth to a daughter...
"Do you know that you have single-handedly ruined the women of the entire Lin family?" Lin Zhihen pointed at his daughter's nose and cursed, "You are the daughter of a dignified minister, famous for your talent, so why do you have to climb into her bed? You are so despicable! You are so despicable!"
"I didn't..." Lin Jiaoyue roared.
Her face was almost broken, and her innocent body was in great pain from the Fourth Prince's brutality today. Kneeling in front of the hall, she felt like she was about to faint.
"Father, Mother, you have to believe me, I was plotted against!" She fell to the ground.
"Who? Who wants to plot against you?" Lin Zhihen was furious.
"Yes! Who wants to plot against you?" A strange and old voice appeared out of nowhere.
Lin Zhihen was slightly startled. When he raised his head, he saw the Minister of Rites Cheng Wenzhi rushing in aggressively with his son and granddaughter.
The servants of the Lin Mansion stumbled after them: "Master, Madam, they just barged in, and we servants couldn't stop them."
The person has already arrived, so what's the point of Lin Zhihen scolding the servants?
He frowned and glanced at Cheng Wenzhi: "Why? The dignified Minister of Rites actually disregarded etiquette and casually barged into someone else's house. Wouldn't it be laughable if this got out?"
Cheng Wenzhi sneered, "If your Lin family hadn't been so overly bullying, how could this old man disregard etiquette?"
"I'm going too far!" Lin Zhihen laughed in anger. "Why don't you ask your good granddaughter who disregarded sisterhood and ruined my daughter's reputation today?"
"Let Minister Lin know that it's not that I don't care about sisterhood, but that Miss Lin planned it first!" Cheng Jintong was originally a firecracker. Seeing Lin Zhihen questioning his grandfather, she rushed to speak.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Jiaoyue felt something was wrong. She ignored the pain in her cheek and body and rushed over to hold Cheng Jintong's hand tightly: "My dear sister, did you misunderstand something?"
Cheng Jintong shook her hand off: "I misunderstood? My biggest misunderstanding was believing you!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaoyue knew that her plan to plot against Cheng Jintong had failed, and she immediately said, "If it weren't for you wanting to see the Fourth Prince and repeatedly asking for my help, how could I have mistakenly entered the private room and been plotted against?"
"Bah!" Cheng Jintong spat at her, then kicked Lin Jiaoyue in the heart without mercy, "You're still stirring up trouble!"
