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

Chapter 82: She did it on purpose

"Rusi, actually, I've been thinking about something these days."

"What's wrong? Don't you know where to go tomorrow?"

Lin Rusi casually removed a petal that had just fallen from her hair, turned around and smiled slightly at the person, then looked away at the flowering tree next to her.

Seeing her like this, Sun Jiayi shook her hand and then grabbed her.

"Our relationship is pretty good, isn't it?"

"Indeed, it's quite good."

At least when we meet, we won't argue, and we certainly won't be as irreconcilable as those other people.

But as soon as she finished answering the question, Sun Jiayi tightened her grip even more, as if she would run away at any moment.

Lin Rusi frowned slightly and pulled her hand away with difficulty. "Is there any connection between them? If it is, just say so. There's no need to beat around the bush like this."

"I just feel that the Prince's mansion cannot have only one person, and the others would not agree to the Prince marrying only one person, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi suddenly recalled her past life, and her delicate brows furrowed.

But she soon realized that this was no longer the previous life, and that her future husband was just someone she had accidentally come together with, and was not the one she cared about at all.

His brows immediately relaxed, and he looked up at Sun Jiayi, whose face was full of tension, and nodded.

"And then what? You're not going to say you want to share a husband with me?"

"I...when I met the prince, I found that he was completely different from what others had described. I could never forget him after just one meeting. Please grant my request!"

Lin Rusi looked at the woman in front of her, hesitant to speak. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but found herself unable to utter a word.

Knowing this was too shocking for me. After all, although that person had restrained himself somewhat that day, one could still detect something unusual if one observed carefully.

Lin Rusi glanced at the woman who was infatuated with Li Jingyang and noticed that her cheeks were slightly flushed as she was lost in her own memories.

Knowing the situation very well, and knowing that there was no way to wake him up in a short time, he was too lazy to wake him up and just watched from the side.

"Is that alright? If you feel it's not okay, I won't force you."

Looking into those eyes filled with rising moisture, Lin Rusi didn't think that this matter could be refused with just a few words, and helplessly looked away.

"This is not a decision I made alone. If you really want to marry the prince, you should ask for his opinion."

So you mean you don't object?

Seeing Sun Jiayi's expression change and turn into a smile, Lin Rusi nodded with a hint of helplessness.

But this gesture made the other person feel that things were not so simple, and they reached out again to grasp the hand that was hanging by the side.

Is it really possible?

"Of course, if Your Highness agrees, I will naturally not object."

But whether he can actually agree is a no-brainer.

Lin Rusi finally understood what all this flattery had been for, and a hint of pity flashed in her eyes.

However, those were all fleeting glimpses, disappearing before anyone could clearly see the expression on their faces.

"In that case, I will go and visit the Prince. I will not accompany you today."

"Okay, go back and prepare well."

Lin Rusi watched the figure quickly leave, sighed softly, and then turned and strode away in the other direction.

By the time Yan Huan arrived, he had already let go of his emotions and turned to go straight back to his residence.

On the other side, Sun Jiayi, because of the previous inquiry, naturally felt that as long as she brought it up, she would succeed, and came to the Prince's Mansion with a slightly flushed face.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

"Was your visit today arranged by the Duke of Jin?"

Sun Jiayi was taken aback, then assumed that the other person thought she was arranged by her father, shook her head, and then revealed her slightly flushed face.

"This visit was entirely my own idea."

"What is it for?"

Li Jingyang sensed something was amiss, but because of his notorious reputation, he didn't consider the possibility of romantic feelings between men and women.

But when he put down what he was holding and looked at Sun Jiayi, and heard her say that she had discussed it with Lin Rusi, his expression darkened.

"You mean she agrees to you sharing a husband with her?"

“That’s right. Ru Si and I have a good relationship, and I will definitely not let the prince worry about the harem.”

Although Sun Jiayi was not married, she had heard many people suffer from headaches caused by quarrels between their concubines in the backyard, and she naturally explained the pros and cons involved.

But to her surprise, the response was not that familiar, gentle tone.

"Why should I marry? If I really don't want to worry about the harem, marrying only one person is the best solution."

"Can……"

"But what? Do you think they can influence me?"

Li Jingyang adopted the attitude one would show to outsiders, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, before turning and leaving with a flick of his sleeve.

Sun Jiayi, who was left behind, was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. Her eyes filled with tears, but she was unwilling to let him stay.

"Miss Sun, please."

"Is this a case of not wanting me to stay even a moment longer?"

The tears that Sun Jiayi had managed to hold back quickly flowed out, and before she could even wipe them away, they splashed onto her clothes, soaking the fabric completely.

She knew this would happen, which is why she didn't stop herself!

Why would Lin Rusi treat her like this? She had already tried her best to please her; no one else had ever received such treatment.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Sun Jiayi raised her hand and used a handkerchief to wipe away the remaining tears on her face before quickly walking out.

But as she sat in the carriage, she recalled more of those scenes, and her face grew increasingly pale.

How could she do this to me?

"Who bullied you? I warned you long ago to stay away from Lin Rusi, but how did you treat me?"

Looking at those red-rimmed eyes, Luo Lan knew without a doubt how wronged the other person must be, and sat down beside them without caring at all.

Once settled, he tapped on the frame of the carriage to signal the people outside to move again.

She sensed the carriage moving and then took out a clean handkerchief and handed it to him.

"Lin Rusi approached you with an ulterior motive from the beginning, but you were too naive to notice."

"Didn't notice? How could that be? I'm not stupid..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the mocking expression on Luo Lan's face and couldn't help but frown as he seriously recalled the memory of that day.

It seems that because someone misled her, she actually took the first time she exposed her sister's poisoning as Lin Rusi's intentional act.

Sun Jiayi's expression grew increasingly grim, but she finally turned her gaze to Luo Lan.

"Can you tell me why you hate her so much?"

"That's a long story. If you want to hear it, all I can tell you is that we're incompatible."

After all, she had seen Sun Jiayi leave the Prince's mansion. If she were to reveal everything, it would cause a lot of trouble.

Sensing that something was being withheld, she didn't ask for details but instead turned her gaze toward where Lin Rusi was.

Seemingly sensing that someone was holding a grudge against her, Lin Rusi couldn't help but sneeze.
