After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 110: A City in Turmoil

"Second sister!"

Seeing the two of them playing music in perfect harmony, Lin Ruqin felt a little uneasy.

At this point, they were directly interrupted.

Seeing this situation, Lin Rusi also felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Big sister, what brings you here today? Aren't you afraid that I, your businesswoman sister, will embarrass you?"

After Lin Rusi finished speaking, the meaning behind her words was very clear.

But to everyone's surprise, Lin Ruqin didn't care.

"Second sister, actually I came here today for this very reason. It just so happens that Prince Jinglie is here today as well, and it's time to make things clear. I'm doing this for your own good."

Hearing the woman say that, Lin Rusi felt that nothing good was coming.

Although I have no interest in continuing to listen, I still have to put on a show.

"Oh, just say what you want to say."

"I was thinking that my sister is, after all, a young lady from a respectable family. It would be beneath her to be out in public doing business all the time. This would not be good for Prince Jinglie either."

Then, the matter was brought up to Li Jingyang.

Unfortunately, Li Jingyang had no interest in the back-and-forth between women.

"It's alright. What my queen wants to do is her own business. I've never cared about what others think." After saying this, Li Jingyang didn't give Lin Ruqin any face at all.

"That's true, but if word gets out that a woman is doing business outside, it will damage the prince's reputation."

As a princess, she would inevitably be criticized for showing her face in public.

Lin Ruqin was thinking that it would be best if this incident could sow discord between the two of them.

"Big sister, only you know why you came here today. But I think your true intentions are not what they seem?"

After saying this, he gave Lin Ruqin a malicious look.

"How could you say that?" Lin Ruqin's eyes were already red as she spoke, and she looked even more pitiful.

However, the two people in front of them were not interested at all.

"Alright, this pretentious act won't work on us. If you want to, eldest sister, you should think about how to please the Third Prince. Some things are not for you to dream about."

With just a few words, Lin Rusi made Lin Ruqin flee in panic.

However, how could Lin Ruqin possibly let this go so easily?

"Hongzhi, think of a way to spread the truth about this matter. This time, I must ruin that woman's reputation. I think the Emperor will not allow Prince Jinglie to marry such a woman."

Upon hearing this, Hongzhi accepted the order and left.

Before long, Lin Rusi's business dealings outside had become a hot topic.

The news quickly reached Lin Lezheng's ears.

"Damn it! That rebellious daughter! I told her he wasn't allowed to do business outside, but that brat wouldn't listen and even dared to talk back to me. If no one knew about this, it would be fine, but now it's caused a huge uproar. We have to close down the business immediately!"

As Lin Lezheng finished speaking, Lin Ruqin, who was standing next to him, continued to fan the flames.

“Father, it’s one thing for my younger sister to be young and sometimes immature, but this shop must be closed. Otherwise, if it affects our family’s reputation, it won’t be fair to the other girls in the family.”

“My girl is half as sensible as you, so I don’t have to worry so much. I must make him close down soon and never let him show his face in public again.”

At this point, he went directly to the store, wanting to find Lin Rusi and get to the bottom of this matter.

But I never expected that Li Jingyang would be here too.

"Father, what brings you here?"

Although he didn't have much affection for this adoptive father, he still had to maintain the facade.

"How dare you say that? Your business dealings have caused quite a stir. How are you going to resolve this?"

Lin Rusi wasn't particularly surprised when she heard this. Ever since Lin Ruqin's last visit, she knew this would happen sooner or later.

“As a woman, you should be content to stay at home. Since the Prince is here today, you must close this shop no matter what. Otherwise, if you disgrace our family and the Prince, even if you are dragged to a pig cage and drowned, no one will plead for you.”

Lin Lezheng said that only to scare him.

But to everyone's surprise, Li Jingyang's expression turned icy cold after hearing these words.

"I'd like to see who dares to drag my queen into a pig cage."

Upon hearing this, Lin Lezheng deliberately feigned a heartbroken expression as he looked at the two people in front of him.

"Your Highness, the reason I did this is all for your sake. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid people will point fingers at you."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang didn't care about these things at all, and instead smiled dismissively.

"My future princess, I will support you even if you want to go into business or become an official in the court. I happen to have some businesses under my control, and I can let you manage them for me. This is a good thing. Prime Minister Lin, you have a good daughter. You should be proud."

"You...you guys!" Lin Lezheng was surprised to hear this, as he hadn't expected Li Jingyang to be so biased towards Lin Rusi.

For a moment, I didn't know what to do.

After all, this ruthless and decisive prince was not someone he could easily offend.

“Father, if there’s nothing else, you should go back first. We still have business to do here.”

At this moment, Lin Rusi did not hesitate and directly told him to leave.

Lin Le snorted coldly before leaving.

He was very dissatisfied with this matter and only hoped that one day after the two of them got married, they could send this brat away as soon as possible.

What Lin Rusi does outside will have nothing to do with me at that time.

Watching his departing figure, Lin Rusi didn't care at all.

Meanwhile, Lin Ruqin was also anxiously waiting at home.

She only hoped that her father could give her the punishment she deserved, preferably by closing the shop and then annulling their engagement. That would be enough.

But to my surprise, after waiting at home for most of the day, I only saw Lin Lezheng come back in a huff.

Although Lin Ruqin wanted to ask what had happened, she could only remain silent when she saw her father, who was still angry.

It was only after a while that he learned the truth about the matter from his attendants.

Lin Ruqin felt a little jealous, and she hadn't expected the two of them to have such a good relationship.
