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

Chapter 169: The Mastermind

After saying this, Ye Ruoruo also took out the silver needles from her hand.

The needle gleamed in the sunlight, and looking at it made one's heart ache.

These people weren't fools, and they quickly understood what Ye Ruoruo meant.

"Well... fine, am I not allowed to say it?"

Several grown men felt a sense of lingering fear upon seeing such thick silver needles.

If this woman were to be pricked, she would probably be in pain for several days.

“You said we wouldn’t reveal this matter, so you don’t need to worry about that person retaliating against you.”

Lin Rusi took the initiative to speak at this moment.

"Actually, we don't know the girl's identity, but when she came today, she was wearing a purple dress and seemed quite poised and elegant. We didn't expect her to come here to ask us to do this kind of thing..."

He quickly recounted the whole story.

"Luo Lan?"

Upon hearing this, the character instantly popped into Lin Rusi's mind. Both of them looked rather serious, not expecting this matter to be related to her.

"Well... how could we possibly know that young lady's name? If you're really interested, why don't you investigate it yourself?"

"Fine, it's no use asking you. You should all get out of here now and not let anyone see you."

Lin Rusi was also a little angry and sent all of them away.

"What should we do now?"

"Isn't that woman watching the show from the teahouse next door? I'm afraid we'll disappoint her this time. In that case, let's go and meet her. I want to see what other tricks she has up her sleeve."

Lin Rusi felt somewhat angry when she thought about this.

This woman has repeatedly defied me; I must teach her a lesson today, no matter what.

"Ah."

Based on the information revealed by those people, Luo Lan was indeed found in a nearby teahouse.

But to everyone's surprise, the moment he saw Lin Rusi, his expression softened considerably.

"What exactly do you want? Why are you clinging to me like this!"

Ye Ruoruo spoke with some anger.

She had only been in the capital for a short time, so naturally she didn't know the intricacies of the situation.

Now, hearing these words just feels a bit strange.

He didn't know this woman at all, so why would she want to harm him?

"Why? We were complete strangers before, and this shouldn't have been your fault. But it's all because of the woman beside you who went too far, so I had no choice but to resort to this tactic."

After Luo Lan finished speaking, she glared fiercely at Lin Rusi.

Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi felt that this woman's hatred for her was utterly inexplicable.

"What have I ever done to wrong you that you would do this?"

Lin Rusi also felt a headache coming on when she thought about this matter.

"I'm sorry for so many things, which one are you talking about! If you want to ask me why I treated you like this, it's because you took away what I cherished most. You knew perfectly well that I liked Wang Ye, but you still insisted on taking it from me!"

Thinking about this, Luo Lan also felt very angry.

"But have you ever considered that the prince has never liked you? Some things can't be forced, so why are you deceiving yourself like this?"

Hearing this answer made Lin Rusi feel somewhat helpless.

"So what! We've known each other since we were kids. Even if it were the Emperor, he wouldn't grant us this marriage. If you hadn't interfered, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

Thinking about this made Luo Lan feel upset.

I never expected that my plan would fail.

"You've gone completely mad! You know it's impossible, so why are you deceiving yourself like this? I will not forgive you for what you've done today, no matter what."

Only when Lin Ru thought about this did she feel extremely angry.

Although Princess Lin'an was arrogant and domineering, she rarely did such a thing.

Luo Lan is different.

This woman always gave me a dangerous and annoying feeling.

We must be careful and take precautions no matter what.

"What... what can you do to me? You have no evidence of this. Even if you go to customs to file a claim, no one will believe you."

Luo Lan's father was a man of considerable standing.

It seems this woman was right about this.

But now that this woman dares to provoke him, she must pay the price for it.

"Lin Rusi, what makes you so special? You're plain-looking and have no real skills. You're not worthy of the prince at all. How could a woman like you be qualified to stand by the prince's side?"

Thinking about this makes one feel somewhat angry.

She was raised by her father from a young age and has always had lofty ambitions.

Seeing them get married while I can only leave in sorrow, I feel uneasy. That's why I couldn't help but speak out all my thoughts.

Hearing these words, Ye Ruoruo also felt a little angry.

"I've never seen anyone like you before. You know perfectly well that the prince and the other person are already married, and that it's a mutual and loving relationship. Don't you feel ashamed to do something like this? Although I come from a humble background, I still know what propriety and shame are."

Ye Ruoruo, who was standing beside her, looked at Luo Lan in front of her and felt incredulous.

Upon hearing this, Luo Lan merely smiled dismissively.

"What do you know? I've given the general far more than this woman, but why did I end up with nothing? This is so unfair to me!"

Luo Lan knew that these two women had already noticed what had happened today, and they probably wouldn't let her off easily.

Instead of hiding it from the outside world, it's better to bring this matter out into the open, since there's no one else around now.

"Ridiculous! This is just your own self-deception. I've always seen that the Prince and Princess have a very good relationship. How could someone like you possibly be worthy of the Prince?"

After Ye Ruoruo finished speaking, Luo Lan wanted to say something more.

After realizing this, Ye Ruoruo also took the initiative to feed him a pill.

Luo Lan was startled.

"Why...why did you feed me?"

"It's just a small punishment."

As soon as Luo Lan finished speaking, she realized that she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Ruoruo, you..."

Lin Rusi never expected that Ye Ruoruo would help her deal with Luo Lan.

"Your Highness, let's go."

After Ye Ruoruo finished speaking, Lin Rusi left with her.

He didn't want his own affairs to affect Ye Ruoruo, and thinking about the pills from earlier, he felt a little worried.
