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

Chapter 99: Still Need to Calculate

Upon hearing Sun Huixia's words, Lin Ruqin realized that the two of them most likely had some illicit relationship.

Although she did look down on Li Zeyan, Sun Huixia was simply too shameless.

"Alright, I just remembered I have some things to take care of, so I'll take my leave."

Seeing Lin Ruqin's departing figure and Sun Huixia's smug expression, one knew that the two sisters were unlikely to reconcile.

Hongzhi felt angry when she thought about what had just been said.

"Miss, Miss Biao went too far just now. She knew perfectly well that the Third Prince was your fiancé, so why did she still do such a thing?"

Lin Ruqin wasn't angry.

"What's the big deal? I've always looked down on that idiot Third Prince. If he really has some kind of shady relationship with Sun Huixia, I can take this opportunity to cancel the marriage. That would be a good thing for me."

She looked down on Li Zeyan, and even if the marriage failed, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Hongzhi nodded thoughtfully.

"Wanqi, did you see the expressions on those two sisters' faces just now? It was really interesting. Two sisters fighting over one man, it's a rare sight to see such a show."

Wanqi nodded in agreement.

"Miss Sun's face did look very bad just now."

"Alright, we've achieved our goal, but seeing the Sun family eating and drinking for free at our house makes me unhappy. We have to find a way to drive these bloodsuckers out."

That night, they finally found Lin Ruqin.

They share the same goal in this matter.

"Sister, don't talk nonsense. No matter what, they are my maternal grandparents' family. How could I possibly send them away?"

"Elder sister, there's no need to pretend. Having such a family is nothing but harm to you. If you don't get rid of them in time, it might even affect your marriage."

Lin Rusi spoke casually, knowing that there was no need to persuade her; the person in front of her would definitely agree to this.

These high-sounding words I'm saying now are just for my own ears.

"Sister, tell me, what's a good way to get rid of that family?"

"Why rack your brains over these things? After all, this is our Lin family. If we want to drive them out, we should just take action. There's no need to overthink it."

Lin Rusi knew that this kind of coercive method was the only way to deal with their family.

Otherwise, they would always find a reason to stay.

The next day, the two of them summoned the servants from the mansion, who then carried all their luggage out.

Seeing this, Sun Jiangyi also stared at his cousin in disbelief.

"Lin Ruqin, are you crazy? This is my grandfather, and also your maternal grandfather. How could you do such a thing? It's absolutely outrageous!"

Lin Ruqin feigned grievance.

“Cousin, how could I bear to do that? But I’m not the one in charge now. My family wants to kick you out, and I have no other choice.”

After saying that, he pretended to take a few dozen taels of silver and tried to send the family away.

But Sun Jiangyi wasn't so easily fooled.

"Pah! You think you can just let us go with this little bit of money? Let me tell you, don't even think about it!"

A few dozen taels of silver wouldn't last more than a few days in the capital; by then, the whole family would be homeless.

Thinking about this makes me feel really scared.

But since Lin Rusi was going to do this, she wouldn't give them a chance.

"It seems you're going to refuse a polite offer and then suffer the consequences. Men, come and throw all their belongings out of their house. From now on, if they ever come back, just send them away."

After she finished speaking, several fierce-looking servants stood behind Lin Rusi.

Although the Sun family was dissatisfied, they dared not confront these people head-on.

He could only pack his things sheepishly and leave.

Seeing that they had finally left, Lin Rusi felt a little better and returned to her own courtyard.

But the next day, I woke up to a lot of noise.

"Wanqi, what happened? Why is it so noisy outside?"

"It's the Sun family. They're very unhappy about being kicked out, so they're venting their anger outside. They're saying some really nasty things, so Miss, please don't go out."

Sun Huaimin, along with his children, also lingered at the Lin family's doorstep.

From a distance, they looked indignant.

"Lin Lezheng, everything was fine when my sister married you, but I never expected that such a change would happen in just a few years. Do you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with the Feng family?"

Sun Huaimin's cursing quickly attracted a large crowd.

Lin Rusi was also angry when she heard this. Back then, Madam Sun had died of illness, and this matter had nothing to do with her mother.

I never expected them to still be spouting nonsense about this.

Lin Le was in his study when he heard the commotion outside and found it very disturbing.

The housekeeper could only tell the truth about what was being said outside.

Upon hearing this, Lin Lezheng's expression turned even more unpleasant.

If this kind of thing becomes a rumor, it will also bring trouble to their family.

"Damn it! Go and make the young lady handle this matter properly. These people were all brought back by the young lady. I don't want to see them at the door again."

Upon hearing this, the butler felt that this matter was somewhat difficult for Lin Ruqin, but he had no choice but to comply.

The matter has become a hot topic of discussion in the capital.

Everyone says that Madam Sun died of depression because Lin Lezheng favored his concubine over his wife.

These rumors also had some impact on Feng.

"Miss, please try to persuade Madam. She hasn't eaten for several days." The two maids beside her also looked at Madam Feng with concern.

"Mother, what do we care what those people outside say? We can't afford to starve ourselves; that would be a loss."

"Ru Si, but I have never done any of these things. Now they are all talking nonsense, which is really disheartening."

He has been diligent and conscientious in caring for this family all these years.

Moreover, they have never mistreated Lin Ruqin, this young lady, but they never expected that they would slander them like this outside.

I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Mother, don't worry, I've already asked Wanqi to investigate this matter. It won't be long before we find out the truth."

Upon hearing this, Madam Feng also noticed that her daughter had become increasingly composed these days.

Only then did I feel that the huge weight in my heart had finally been lifted.

“I used to only worry about your temper, but now you’ve finally grown up and can stand up for your mother.”

Looking at her daughter, Mrs. Feng felt extremely gratified.
