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

Chapter 94: I want a yard

"This room is huge!"

"If you like it, then this is where you can rest."

Lin Ruqin turned her head and looked at the increasingly impatient group, then immediately went forward to appease them.

"If Grandfather is tired, I will take you to your room to rest. Just tell the housekeeper if you need anything."

"The room is fully prepared. Please forgive any inconvenience, Master Sun."

Sun Youshan let out a cold snort, then quickly walked forward.

Since the rooms weren't far apart, it only took a few steps to get to the front, and I simply pushed them aside.

But seeing the simple appearance of the room, he couldn't help but let out a soft snort.

Having guessed what this meant, the butler remained silent and instead looked at Lin Ruqin, whose expression was not pleasant.

This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. She froze on the spot for a while before managing a smile and pointing to the houses next to her.

"These two rooms belong to my cousin and uncle. Please forgive us for not having prepared much due to the rush."

The two didn't seem to care much about it, instead looking around at other parts of the courtyard before going into their room to rest.

Just when she thought that was the end of it, Lin Ruqin walked out of the courtyard and was about to enter her own room.

But before he could say anything to the maid beside him, his arm was grabbed tightly.

"How beautiful! Your sister's yard is so well-maintained."

"It wasn't tidied up much; the servants were the ones who did all the tinkering."

Lin Ruqin looked at the unremarkable things and didn't pay much attention to them. She turned her head slightly to look at her room, hoping that the other person could understand her exhaustion.

But at that moment, Sun Huixia paid no attention to anything else; her eyes were filled with the courtyard, which was several times larger than her own, and the house filled with all sorts of things.

"It's so beautiful. I don't get this kind of treatment at home. Your mansion is so big, why don't you give me a courtyard to live in?"

"Can……"

"But what? Don't you want me to stay and help you? I've seen it today; that girl is cunning and scheming. You definitely can't handle her alone."

Lin Ruqin knew about this, of course, but she really couldn't make arrangements for the courtyard. She wanted to ask the steward, but found that the steward had already settled several people and left quietly.

That's why she was even more dissatisfied.

If he had declared himself the one who could take over the Lin family, he definitely wouldn't have acted this way.

“Sister, I’m not greedy. I just want a courtyard, even if it’s not well maintained.”

The longer she stays here, the more she can do whatever she wants.

Thinking of this, Sun Huixia smiled broadly, her eyes fixed directly on Lin Ruqin in front of her.

“Cousin, you should know that we are your true family. We would never do anything to harm you. She is different. She will do everything she can to make sure you are eventually kicked out of the Lin family.”

"Therefore, my sister must know what is more important."

Lin Ruqin heard this but didn't say anything more. Instead, she looked at Lin Rusi's courtyard on the other side.

"If you really want it, then you can only go to her, after all, Father just gave her the right today."

She hadn't expected to have to go to Lin Rusi for such a small matter. Her brows furrowed even more, but in the end, she couldn't resist the allure of the large courtyard and nodded.

Lin Ruqin hadn't expected Sun Huixia to want the house so badly, so she could only sigh helplessly and turn around to lead her people over.

Surprisingly, Lin Rusi was already lying in bed preparing to rest at this time.

Being suddenly disturbed, no one would be in a good mood, and when the servants said it was Sun Huixia, their faces darkened even more.

Although he was dissatisfied, he was still a guest, so he put on his clothes, pushed open the door, and went out.

"What business do you have that requires your visit so late at night?"

“Sister, my cousin wants to stay in another courtyard. After all, those guest rooms are all for men, and it’s really not suitable for her, a woman.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi smiled and looked at Sun Huixia.

Although she was smiling, for some reason the two of them felt a chill.

If Grandpa Sun were here, he might have reminded the two of them to be careful of Lin Rusi. Unfortunately, there were only the two of them now, so they naturally regarded her as someone who was just using someone else's power and didn't care at all.

Sun Huixia didn't even take him seriously, and even took two steps forward.

“We’re all women, you should know how important reputation is.”

"How about sharing a courtyard with my sister? You two are cousins, so even if you share a bed, there shouldn't be much of a grudge."

The two of them seemed to frown at the thought of lying together.

Lin Ruqin, in particular, made no attempt to hide her expression until she met Lin Rusi's gaze, at which point she lowered her head to conceal it.

"If my cousin doesn't mind, she can live in the same courtyard as me."

"But I just want to try what it's like to live in a big courtyard all by myself. Does the Lin family not even have one more courtyard available now?"

"We really can't afford it. If you really want it, why don't you discuss it with your sister?"

Lin Ruqin initially thought Sun Huixia would refuse, but when she turned her head and saw the eager look in Sun Huixia's eyes, her brows furrowed again.

She actually set her sights on me. Whose side is she on?

Just as Lin Ruqin was about to subtly remind the other person, they had already taken her hand.

"Qin'er, I'm your older sister. How about letting me experience such a big courtyard just once? Just for one day, okay?"

"Well, this can be considered as fulfilling one of my sister's wishes."

Unexpectedly, Lin Ruqin agreed so easily. Lin Rusi glanced at her and noticed that her eyes were always hidden by her slightly drooping eyelids, clearly trying to hide her emotions.

Having guessed what was going on, she smiled and stared intently at the two of them.

"Since there's nothing else, may anyone leave my courtyard? After working so hard for Father's birthday these past few days, I don't want my sister to be so strong as to run around with people."

"This is not because..."

Before Lin Ruqin could finish speaking, she was pulled away by Sun Huijia, who wanted to experience the treatment of a young lady from the Lin family.

Unexpectedly, just as they stepped out of Lin Rusi's courtyard, they saw Sun Jiangyi standing outside the door, his eyes filled with resentment.

"What are you doing going in there? Why are you laughing so happily?"

"What's it to you? Didn't we just see you go back to your room? Why are you running out again? Were you following us the whole time?"

To Sun Huixia's surprise, the other party let out a cold snort and stared straight at Lin Rusi in the courtyard.

"She's just a little girl and she gets a courtyard, I want one too!"

After waiting for a while without receiving a response from Lin Rusi, Sun Jiangyi's face darkened, and he was about to rush into the courtyard.

But the guards of the Lin residence were not to be trifled with; they immediately reached out and stopped the man.
