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

Chapter 176: Comparison

Lin Ruqin also came out.

Naturally, they were also questioned by the two of them.

Remembering that the two of them had just made up briefly, she didn't reveal anything she knew.

They just made up some excuse and brushed it off.

"Father, Mother, I have to go back now, otherwise the Third Prince will probably scold me again if he sees that I haven't returned for a long time."

Lin Ruqin felt a little worried when she thought about this.

But to everyone's surprise, Lin Lezheng didn't take the matter to heart at all, and only then did he feel at ease watching his daughter.

"What are you saying? You're going home, not somewhere else. There's no one in the Third Prince you don't trust."

"Father is right."

Lin Rusi, who was standing to the side, then added that the family still seemed to be getting along well on the surface.

"Since you two are both back today, why don't you have dinner at home before going back? These past few days, your father hasn't said much on the surface, but he has been thinking about you all the time."

Si Yu also stepped forward at this time.

Although I don't know why the relationship between the two sisters has suddenly improved so much, it is ultimately the daughter's choice, and as her mother, I will respect it.

"Yes, that's fine too."

Lin Rusi did not have much objection to this matter.

"Master, Madam!"

The family was just about to leave when they saw the housekeeper rushing in from outside.

"what happen?"

"King Jinglie has arrived..."

The butler hesitated, unsure whether to address him as "Prince" or "son-in-law," but ultimately chose the more respectful title.

Upon hearing this, Lin Lezheng dared not be negligent and personally went out to greet Li Jingyang, appearing to be a gentle and refined person.

Upon meeting Lin Lezheng, he respectfully addressed him as "father-in-law."

"Why didn't you send anyone to inform me of the Prince's arrival? I would have had someone come to greet him in advance..."

Although this was his son-in-law, Lin Lezheng did not dare to offend him easily.

However, Li Jingyang never took these trivial matters to heart.

"I was just thinking that the princess hadn't been back for a while, and I was worried about her, so I came to see what was going on." Li Jingyang didn't hide his thoughts.

Only then did he follow Lin Lezheng inside.

Hearing this, Lin Le felt somewhat uncomfortable.

My daughter is coming home, not going into some dangerous place. Why am I so worried?

However, he didn't dare to offend Li Jingyang, so he didn't say it directly.

"The two sisters just came back to visit today, nothing happened. Your Highness, please come with me. We were just about to have dinner together, so if Your Highness doesn't mind, you can stay and have a simple meal with us."

Li Jingyang always had a smile on his face.

They still didn't know what had happened to Lin Rusi today, so they didn't dare to make any rash moves and followed them through the door.

Seeing Lin Rusi sitting there safely, Li Jingyang finally felt relieved.

"Why has Your Highness come?"

Seeing this, Lin Rusi also felt a little strange.

"Honestly, even if you wanted to go back to your parents' home, why didn't you tell me in advance? That way I could have come back with you. Otherwise, if your father-in-law saw this, he would say that I am not a good son-in-law."

Li Jingyang also deliberately spoke up.

It seemed as if they had come specifically to support Lin Rusi.

"I ran into my older sister today, so I thought I'd come back with her to visit our parents. That's why I forgot the time. I was planning to have these two girls go back and tell you, but I figured it wasn't a big deal."

Lin Rusi made up a random excuse.

Although Li Jingyang felt unfortunate, he did not pursue the matter further in front of outsiders.

"I see."

"It seems it was all a misunderstanding. If Your Highness doesn't mind, why don't you stay for dinner today before you leave?"

Si Yu took the initiative to speak.

Now, looking at her son-in-law, she is completely satisfied. Only someone like him is worthy of her daughter.

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang did not refuse the offer.

He then nodded in agreement.

"Then let's listen to my mother-in-law."

After saying this, he sat down next to Lin Rusi in a very approachable manner.

He didn't seem to have that aloof air he usually does.

At this moment, Lin Ruqin, who was sitting diagonally opposite them, saw this scene and found it somewhat jarring.

Originally, all of this belonged to me.

But now he can only stick with a useless Li Zeyan, and he doesn't know when he will have a chance to get ahead.

"Second Sister and the Prince have a really good relationship."

Even Lin Ruqin felt envious.

If Li Zeyan had treated me with half the same devotion Li Jingyang showed Lin Rusi, my days in the Prince's mansion wouldn't have been so difficult.

However, Lin Ruqin knew very well that this was simply impossible.

As women, Lin Rusi quickly noticed the envy in Lin Ruqin's eyes.

Such a situation is naturally understandable.

After all, she herself had once stayed by Li Zeyan's side.

"Big sister, I will definitely keep my promise to you, you can rest assured about that."

This statement surprised everyone present.

What did Lin Rusi agree to?

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruqin, though somewhat upset, knew she couldn't show it too obviously in this setting.

He just made up a random excuse, even though he originally planned to leave first.

At this moment, Li Zeyan's carriage was also slowly approaching the Lin family.

Ye Qing, who was waiting outside, noticed this immediately.

When Li Zeyan saw Ye Qing at the door, he realized that Li Jingyang was also here today.

Although she felt a little reluctant to see him, since she was already here, she had to take Lin Rusi back with her.

Otherwise, if this gets out, it won't be good for my reputation.

"Lord Ye, what are you doing here?"

"Naturally, it's to accompany our Prince back to visit Lord Lin."

Ye Qing had never liked the Third Prince, so his attitude was slightly colder at this moment.

However, Li Zeyan didn't care.

The butler was startled when he saw him, and quickly went inside to inform the servants and bring the man inside.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Ruqin's expression became even more unpleasant after hearing this name.

"Your Highness...

"Qin'er, why didn't you tell me before you went out today? I was so worried at home. What a coincidence, your royal uncle is here today too?"

Li Zeyan is usually lazy and uneducated, but he has become somewhat more restrained in front of Li Jingyang.

However, the cynicism in his eyes was undeniable.

"I……"
