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

Chapter 70: Daring not to bring the sickness

Since she was going to say it, she naturally wouldn't just say it verbatim; instead, she embellished it with a lot of extra details.

Everything that was right was done by her, while the mistakes and punishments were all pushed onto Lin Rusi.

Upon hearing that her granddaughter had been betrothed but was also confined to her home, Old Mrs. Lin suddenly stood up and pounded her cane on the ground.

"This is outrageous! How could he possibly listen to only the mother and daughter's side of the story?"

"Grandma, you can't get so excited, it's not good for your health."

Seeing Lin Ruqin's concerned expression, the old lady Lin put down her cane and gently patted her thin shoulder.

"You've suffered, but luckily Grandma prepared something for you, something just for you."

"Thank you, Grandma. Qinqin is so lucky to have you."

Hearing her granddaughter's contented words, Grandma Lin sighed once again.

At the same time, the old woman who had returned from Lin Rusi's courtyard tiptoed into the room.

"You're back? Why are you alone? That girl knew I was back but didn't even come to pay her respects?"

"Replying to Madam, Miss said she is not feeling well and does not want to pass on her illness to you."

However, these words were spoken with extreme dissatisfaction, and anyone who heard them would know there was a problem.

The old lady was clearly known to all. She opened her slightly cloudy eyes, then narrowed them into slits.

"It seems that the old woman has been away for too long, and this girl has forgotten the rules."

"Grandma, please calm down."

"Please calm down, Madam."

Everyone in the courtyard was a former maid of the old lady. The guards, naturally familiar with her personality, immediately sensed something was wrong and knelt down on the ground.

Grandma Lin pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time. She simply reached out and helped Lin Ruqin, who was still trembling, up, and then placed her hand on her.

"I'm perfectly healthy now, I'm not afraid of even the slightest bit of illness. Go and bring the person over here."

"Yes."

With the old lady's order, the nanny naturally became much more assertive and, along with a few others, prepared to go and bring the person over.

But just as he was about to leave, he heard Old Mrs. Lin's soft voice behind him again.

"No one in this courtyard has taught her manners, and she has become like this. If she marries in the future, how will she be able to get along? We must correct this bad habit."

"The old lady is right. If she were to go to her husband's family in this state, she would be divorced. She must be corrected properly."

The original group of three or four nannies doubled in size, and they marched in a grand procession toward Lin Rusi's courtyard once again.

Having anticipated that someone might come, she naturally instructed her two most trusted maids to stand guard at the door.

Seeing so many people coming, the thin man shrank back, but ultimately stood in the doorway.

"Make way quickly, the old lady wants the young lady to immediately go to the front yard to pay her respects."

"Please forgive me, Granny, Miss got caught in the rain yesterday and just went to bed. She shouldn't be thinking about... Ah!"

Before Wanqi could finish speaking, she was slapped to the ground by the head maid.

Upon seeing this, Wanxia immediately stepped forward and blocked the door, preventing anyone from approaching.

"You clueless idiot! This is the old lady's order, and no one can say no."

"Guards, slap them across the face! Let these two girls know their place!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wanxia's hands were grabbed by two old women, who slapped her once on the left and once on the right.

After two or three slaps, that face, which was less than the size of a palm, swelled up to twice its original size.

Wanqi struggled to her feet and tried to speak, but was grabbed by one of the old women.

But she was agile and immediately pulled the broom from the clutches of the demon, standing guard to the side and picking it up to keep the man out.

It was just something to sweep the floor, but she handled it with such force that she actually made the old woman stop what she was doing.

But in a moment of distraction, she was grabbed by two skilled maids.

"Let me go! Miss is really sick!"

“Illness? Even if she’s dying, the old lady still has to go see her.”

As soon as the old woman finished speaking, two more slaps were made, changing the appearance of that delicate little face.

Because of her swollen face, her words were unclear, and she was eventually thrown into a corner because people thought she was too noisy.

"Shut your mouth properly. If we find out who you've been tipping off, we'll break your legs first."

Wanqi shrank her legs in fear, and finally curled her body into a ball.

But what they didn't expect was that before they could push open the second door, a chill suddenly swept over them from behind.

"You little hussy, you actually dared to launch a sneak attack? You're courting death!"

"watch out!"

Wanqi suddenly exerted force, repeatedly swinging the long handle she had pulled from the broom, striking the old women.

She was just careless for a moment, but now that we've closed the door and are beating her, there will be absolutely no problem.

Wanqi pursed her lips tightly, and the old women who were knocking on the door with even more force ran around the courtyard. In the end, they even left the courtyard in a disheveled state, tumbling and crawling.

After seeing that the group of people disappear, he helped Wanxia up from the ground and carefully applied the ointment he was carrying to her face.

"pain."

"You don't know anything, so why are you rushing to the front?"

"Isn't this all for Miss?"

Wanxia glanced at the room behind her, a smile still on her face.

Lin Rusi, sitting in the room, frowned as she pondered how to deal with the old lady who was rushing over from behind.

On the other side, seeing the nanny she had served for so many years in such a disheveled state, Old Madam Lin rushed out without even a cane.

When Lin Ruqin saw this scene, she almost couldn't hold back her emotions. Fortunately, the old woman next to her shouted for the cane, which brought her back to her senses.

He ran over quickly, holding his crutch in both hands, but then felt it was in the way, so he simply reached out his hands instead.

"Grandma, be careful, it's slippery here."

“You’re much less of a worry. Grandma will definitely get justice for you.”

Hearing this, Lin Ruqin was overjoyed, but she frowned and had to keep an eye on Old Madam Lin.

The other person noticed her expression and guessed what she was worried about. He slowed down again and let out a sigh.

"I'm not dead yet, so even if I were your father, you'd have to listen to me."

"Yes."

Seeing that she only had such a simple sentence, Old Mrs. Lin did not say anything, but quickened her pace again and walked towards Lin Rusi's courtyard.

"Get your young lady out here."

"Yes."

Wanqi covered her cheek, which had finally started to feel a little less swollen, and immediately opened the courtyard gate, revealing Lin Rusi standing in the courtyard.

"Greetings, Grandma."

"You still remember you have a grandmother like me? I've asked you to come over time, why didn't you go?"

Upon hearing this accusation, Lin Rusi simply lowered her head and repeated her previous excuse.

However, Old Mrs. Lin did not believe it. She snorted and sat down on a chair in the room.

"Kneel down."
