Chapter 129: Face
Chapter 129: Face
Li Zeyan entered the bridal chamber with some anticipation, looking at the soft and boneless woman lying on the bed, and assumed that this was Lin Rusi.
"Ru Si, do you know how long I have been waiting for this day?"
After saying that, she lifted the red veil with some anticipation.
But to his surprise, it was Lin Ruqin who came into view. Instantly, all the hope that had been ignited was doused with cold water.
"It's you!"
Seeing this, Li Zeyan also felt a little dissatisfied with the matter.
He had never been able to catch up with Lin Ruqin; such a woman was simply not worthy of being his wife.
"hateful!"
Hongzhi, who was waiting outside, heard the commotion inside and hurried in. She never expected that the person lying on the bed would be Miss Jiazai.
"This...how is this possible?" Hongzhi asked incredulously.
According to my young lady's plan, there shouldn't have been any problems with this matter at all, so what's going on now?
"You lowly servant, who let you in without my permission?" Li Zeyan thought the girl was really unruly.
"Third Prince...it seems there's some misunderstanding. Let's talk about it after our young lady wakes up." Hongzhi was always loyal and knew that the young lady of this family was unwilling to marry the Third Prince.
It was only at this point that they took the initiative to bring it up.
But to everyone's surprise, Li Zeyan felt impatient after hearing this. She was just a brat, how dare she talk to him like that.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? You have no right to speak here, so get out of here right now!"
Upon hearing this, Hongzhi also felt somewhat resentful about the matter, but there was no other way but to leave for the time being.
Looking at Lin Ruqin in front of him, he thought of the embarrassing things that happened today, all because of this woman.
Moreover, this woman has no intention of marrying him at all; the person she likes is Li Jingyang.
He felt extremely dissatisfied with this matter.
"Lin Ruqin, you brought this all on yourself. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite..."
Bathed in the glow of lamplight and candlelight, Lin Ruqin still looked quite charming.
To vent his anger, Li Zeyan directly ripped off her clothes...
Hearing the commotion outside, Hongzhi felt a pang of guilt, but knew it was something she couldn't stop.
"Miss……"
On the other side, Li Jingyang saw off all the guests before arriving at Lin Rusi's room.
Carefully lift the veil.
Both were somewhat shy, and they spent a tender night together.
The next day, Lin Ruqin finally woke up and found herself disheveled and aching all over, which was a bit strange.
"Strange, what happened? Why do I have no recollection of it..."
After spending the night before, Li Zeyan left Lin Ruqin's room before dawn.
Hongzhi was waiting outside when she heard the commotion inside, and she quickly came to her mistress's side.
Seeing the little girl's red eyes, Lin Ruqin felt a little strange.
"Hongzhi, what happened? Did our plan succeed? Why do I have no recollection of this..."
Hearing this, Hongzhi didn't dare to look up, but at this moment she still told Lin Ruqin what had happened yesterday.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruqin was struck as if by a bolt from the blue.
Unexpectedly, she ended up marrying Li Zeyan, whom she hated the most, but now that it's a done deal and there's no way to change it.
“Miss, I wanted to help you last night, but I was no match for the Third Prince, which is why you suffered such injustice…”
Lin Ruqin felt disappointed upon hearing this.
But no matter what, this has already happened, and now the only person I can rely on is Li Zeyan.
That's why I thought of going to have a proper talk with him.
"Where is the Third Prince?"
"This servant does not know. He left here before dawn this morning, and I do not know where he went."
Lin Ruqin nodded, and only then did she begin to organize her thoughts.
She knew that the Third Prince had always been a womanizer, and besides herself, he had more than a dozen wives here, all of whom were concubines.
Moreover, many of these were bought from brothels.
As I was pondering this question, I saw a dozen or so women come in to greet me.
It seems that these women are all women that Li Zeyan bought from outside.
They were all incredibly beautiful, each with their own unique charm, whether plump or slender.
"Sister, we've kept you waiting. We came here especially to pay our respects to you during the festival."
Hongzhi's face turned ugly upon hearing this.
How could a young lady of noble status be associated with these concubines?
"Nonsense! Our young lady is the legitimate daughter of the prime minister. How can she be called sisters with people like you?" Lin Ruqin didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said.
Now that I've married into this family, the most important thing is to set rules for these people.
Otherwise, where would they find a place to stay?
"Please excuse my bluntness, everyone. Although my girl speaks rather bluntly, she is not wrong. The word 'concubine' is a homophone for 'sell,' and I am the Emperor's betrothed wife. From now on, please call me Madam. I really cannot bear to be called 'sister.'"
After Lin Ruqin finished speaking, the disdain in her eyes was hard to hide.
I really don't understand why Li Zeyan, as a prince, would have affairs with these lowly women.
"Oh, you all still have such high and mighty attitudes. But we sisters are used to being free here, so I'm afraid we'll disappoint you this time too."
At this point, one of the women stood up and retorted.
This woman was indeed beautiful, with delicate features, and seemed to be quite favored.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruqin's face instantly turned ugly. She hadn't expected that these women would dare to speak to her like that so soon after she entered the room.
"You... I am the lawfully wedded wife. If you dare to act recklessly today, I will make you pay the price for your actions. Hongzhi, Granny Sun, what are you two standing here for?"
Upon hearing this, Hongzhi hurriedly stepped forward, preparing to subdue the woman, but unexpectedly, Li Zeyan rushed in from outside at that moment.
When the woman saw him, she immediately put on a pitiful act.
"My lord, today I brought my sisters to pay our respects to the Princess Consort, but I don't know how we offended her. Now she even wants to beat me. My lord, you must stand up for us sisters!"
Upon hearing this, Li Zeyan's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.
However, Lin Ruqin didn't care.
She didn't believe that Li Zeyan would offend her for the sake of a few women.
"Lin Ruqin, what do you mean by this?" Li Zeyan's expression was unpleasant, which surprised Lin Ruqin as well.
