Chapter 102: Deception
"That's too much trouble. Why don't you lend me this cupboard? That way, it'll be easier for me to decide what I want to eat," Lin Rusi joked. She was just kidding, but to her surprise, Li Jingyang actually agreed.
"What's so difficult about that? Just take him with you when you go back later."
The cook was originally hired for Lin Rusi, so it's not a big deal if Lin Rusi takes him away.
"it is good."
After a while, Li Jingyang had other things to take care of, so he left first.
Lin Rusi didn't hesitate and went home with the cook.
Unexpectedly, the first person they encountered was Lin Ruqin. Lin Ruqin also found it strange to see Lin Rusi bringing back a strange man.
"Sister, you only went out for a short while, how come you brought someone back? Who is this person?"
"Oh, him? This is the chef that Li Jingyang found for me. He makes dishes and snacks that suit my taste, so he asked me to bring him back."
Lin Rusi didn't think much of it and told the truth, saying this in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
Once everyone knows that this person is Li Jingyang, they will stop talking nonsense.
"Is that so? It seems that Prince Jinglie cares about you very much."
After Lin Ruqin finished speaking, she also felt very dissatisfied. Although Li Jingyang was a leisurely prince, he held a very high position in the court, which even Li Zeyan could not match.
He is so considerate to Lin Rusi now, which shows he is not as licentious as the rumors say.
Back in the courtyard, thinking about Lin Rusi's behavior earlier, he felt as if she was showing off to him.
"What's so great about him? He's just a cook. No matter how high Jinglie Wang's status is, he can only ever be a prince. What's so great about him?"
Although Lin Ruqin said that, she still felt a little jealous when she thought about how Lin Rusi looked just now.
“What you say is true, Miss. How could someone like Prince Jinglie be worthy of you? As long as the Third Prince proves himself in the future, whoever has the chance to ascend to the throne will be the most honored woman in the world.”
After Hongzhi finished speaking, Lin Ruqin understood perfectly well what was going on.
The third prince wasn't particularly outstanding to begin with, and he also had several capable brothers, so it would be extremely difficult for him to ascend to that position.
At this moment, Li Jingyang's incomparably handsome face also came to mind, and he was also particularly concerned about Lin Rusi.
For a moment, he felt that Li Zeyan was no match for him at all.
He suddenly felt a little angry. Why should all the good things be reserved for Lin Rusi?
On the other hand, the Sun family can only stay in a small inn outside the capital, but they still haven't given up hope.
Having already witnessed the prosperity of the capital, how could I possibly return to the place I used to live?
Sun Huaimin looked at his daughter and suddenly remembered her relationship with Li Zeyan.
"Huixia, you said before that you and the Third Prince have a very close personal relationship. Is this true or false?" Sun Huaimin asked proactively.
Upon hearing her father's words, Sun Huixia's eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true. As far as I know, the Third Prince and my cousin don't get along well, and he dotes on me a lot. If I can go see the Third Prince, my family will definitely have a place to stay."
Upon hearing this, Sun Jiangyi simply did not believe it.
Although her younger sister was pretty, she couldn't be considered a stunning beauty.
The Third Prince's actions were probably just a passing fancy.
But now that they are desperate, it's not a bad thing for them to give it a try.
“Huixia, I have a good idea. If you go and tell the Third Prince that you are now pregnant with his child, even if you cannot become his principal wife, he will not drive you away, and our family will have a place to go.”
After Sun Jiangyi finished speaking, Sun Huixia also felt that it was indeed a good idea.
Once he admits his identity, we can just find some excuse to brush off the issue of the child.
"That is indeed a good idea. You all wait here for me. I'll go see the Third Prince now. If I gain the Third Prince's favor, what will a little Lin Ruqin be?"
After saying this, he went to find Li Zeyan by himself.
However, Sun Huixia was kicked out of the house these past two days, and she looked quite disheveled, which made Li Zeyan feel somewhat disgusted.
"Is there something you need from me?"
"Third Prince...it's really nothing serious, it's just that I felt unwell yesterday and went to the clinic for a checkup. The doctor told me that I'm now one month pregnant..."
Upon hearing this, Li Zeyan's expression also turned extremely ugly.
He is currently unmarried, and if the emperor finds out about this, it will definitely cause him trouble.
After thinking about this, my first reaction was that I absolutely could not keep this child.
Moreover, Sun Huixia now looks disheveled and unkempt, completely lacking her original charming and lovely appearance, which makes him feel more disgusted.
A woman like that is not good enough for me.
"Is that so! The imperial physicians from the palace came with me this time. If you are really pregnant, I will take you back. If you dare to lie to me, don't blame me for disregarding our past relationship." After saying this, Li Zeyan looked at Su Huixia with ill intent.
He was always careful and would never give this woman a chance to get pregnant.
Saying this now is probably just deceiving myself.
Upon hearing this, Sun Huixia turned pale with fright. Seeing the woman's reaction, Li Zeyan guessed the most likely cause of the matter.
I'm afraid this woman is just lying.
"This……"
"Alright, I have no principal wife since I have invaded this land. This child must not leave under any circumstances. Someone, go find Doctor Wang and get him a bowl of safflower."
Upon hearing this, Sun Huixia turned pale with fright.
She originally wanted to say that she wasn't pregnant at all, but if he found out she was lying, he would never let her off easily.
There was nothing they could do but let them force the bowl of safflower down their throats.
It's too late to say anything now.
“Sun Huixia, I was only acting on a whim before. Now that you’ve been kicked out, how can you be worthy of me? From now on, you’d better not appear in front of me again, or don’t blame me for turning my back on you.”
After saying this, Li Zeyan had his men kick Shenghuxiang out without showing any sympathy whatsoever.
Sun Huixia then realized that he was just playing around with her.
It's practically impossible to get anything out of him.
Left with no other choice, she returned dejectedly to the inn outside the city, only to find her family eagerly awaiting her return, especially Sun Youshan.
