On our wedding night, my wife acted strangely.

This is problematic in anyone's eyes.

What's more, Lin Yi, who is already used to conspiracies and deceit?

Clearly, Luo Qingyu hadn't expected Lin Yi to say that, and immediately explained, "Your Highness, I was bewitched this morning. Your Highness is a righteous gentleman, how could you possibly bully Wan'er? That's why I came to beg Your Highness for forgiveness."

Luo Qingyu swore that she had never said anything so disgusting in her life.

If Lin Yi were a decent person, he wouldn't have taken her to the table and bullied her that night.

"Hehehe." Lin Yi found her explanation amusing, but he didn't intend to expose her.

Wild cats catch mice to eat, while domestic cats catch mice to play with.

The Luo sisters are now like two chattering little mice. Lin Yi isn't in a hurry to eat them. Watching them tremble in front of him is more interesting than eating them.

"Alright, in that case, I forgive your lapse in composure this morning." Lin Yi waved his hand. "Alright, if there's nothing else, go ahead and do your work. Wan'er, stay here; I have something to ask her."

"Yes." Luo Qingyu stood up, her heart filled with joy.

That lecherous man really took the bait!

I knew it! Who could resist my sister's beauty? The more Wan'er stays by his side, the greater his chances of turning the tables.

That's great! Ah Jin, did you see that?!

Do you see everything I've done for you?

We're one step closer to revenge!

Thinking of this, Luo Qingyu dared not look at Lin Yi again, afraid that he would notice the excitement in her eyes. She turned around and gave Luo Qingwan a look as they brushed past each other.

Go for it, little sister! The honor and disgrace of the family, the lives of our parents, and the love between my sister and Ah Jin all depend on you.

After Luo Qingyu left, the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became somewhat strange.

Yifei was originally there to serve tea, but seeing Lin Yi's eyes practically glued to Luo Qingwan, she felt a pang of sadness.

She glanced furtively at Mimi, who was fanning herself behind Lin Yi, and noticed that the girl's face was even more unpleasant. Her usually bright eyes now looked like she wanted to devour Luo Qingwan alive.

Ugh.

Yifei sighed inwardly. It seemed that there would be another vixen in the Prince's mansion. Oh well, she'd better not stay here and get in the way.

"Your Highness," Yifei curtsied, "I suddenly remembered that tea is still being brewed in the tea room. I'll go check on it now, lest it boil dry."

Lin Yi was very satisfied with Yi Fei's thoughtfulness and nodded.

Yifei felt as if she had been granted a pardon and quickly left.

She could walk, but Mimi didn't want to.

She had finally managed to get into the prince's bed, and she wasn't even pregnant yet. How could she just stand by and watch other women compete for his favor?

This second young lady of the Luo family has a foxy look to her face; she's obviously no good!

No, I have to stay and see what tricks she's up to.

Lin Yi paused for a moment, then frowned and his voice turned cold as he saw Mi Mi standing there motionless: "Why aren't you leaving?"

"Ah..." Mimi sensed the impatience in his tone, bit her lip in grievance, feeling a hundred times unwilling.

But she dared not disobey Lin Yi's orders.

So he reluctantly replied, "Yes...this servant will go out now."

As she left, she didn't forget to give Luo Qingwan a fierce glare.

You little bitch, just you wait!

In the blink of an eye, only Lin Yi and Luo Qingwan remained in the large central hall.

The latter stood in the center of the hall, feeling both embarrassed and nervous, unsure of what to do with his hands.

Because she could clearly feel Lin Yi's gaze scraping across her like a knife.

That wasn't a lecherous look, but a scrutinizing gaze.

She felt extremely uncomfortable under scrutiny.

Brother-in-law... no, this devil, what is he planning to do? Will he treat me the way he treated my sister?

The thought of her sister's strawberry-like bruises made Luo Qingwan's heart clench with fear, and her legs trembled uncontrollably.

Lin Yi found her frightened appearance amusing to himself.

With such low a nerve, she dares to try and seduce me by pretending to be a green tea b*tch.

It's far from that.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yi put down his teacup and said, "Your name is Wan'er, right?"

Luo Qingwan quickly replied, "Yes, Your subject is Luo Qingwan."

How old are you?

"Your Highness, it's fifteen."

"Are you of marriageable age?"

"Yes, it was my coming-of-age ceremony last month."

Lin Yi nodded, deliberately drawing out the sound: "Oh~~~ So you're an adult now~~"

He's grown up now...

What does that mean?

Luo Qingwan's heart skipped a beat.

"Come here a little." Lin Yi beckoned to her.

Luo Qingwan's body immediately stiffened, and she dared not move at all.

past?

What did you do in the past?

My sister says he likes me and can't bear to touch me, but what if... what if my sister is wrong?

What should I do if he really pounces on me?

To resist?

But I can't beat him!

Not resist?

Then wouldn't I also...?

Luo Qingwan's mind was in complete chaos, with all sorts of unbearable and terrifying thoughts popping up one after another.

"What? Do I have to come and invite you?" Lin Yi's voice was somewhat displeased.

Luo Qingwan quickly shook her head: "No, I wouldn't dare."

"Then hurry up and come over here."

Luo Qingwan bit her lip, remembering her sister's entrustment, her parents' humiliation, and the current situation of the Luo family... Finally, she took a deep breath and clenched her fists.

Fight!

It's all in the past, right? Nobody's going to die!

After figuring it out, Luo Qingwan took a few small steps and moved towards Lin Yi.

"Your Highness."

Seeing her shy and bashful appearance, Lin Yi found it even more amusing and directly grabbed her calf.

Luo Qingwan stiffened again, not daring to move or shout.

From childhood to adulthood, she has never been touched by a man!

"Wan'er, I think you look quite good in this yellow dress. Tell the embroiderer to make a few more." Lin Yi's words were full of appreciation.

But Luo Qingwan's face turned bright red instantly, from her cheeks all the way down to the roots of her neck.

Is he praising me?

But why won't he take his hand away?

Is he going to keep touching me downwards? Downwards is fine, just please don't go upwards...

"Go and prepare dinner for me."

Just when Luo Qingwan thought Lin Yi would lose his temper and pounce on her on the table, he actually let go.

Then he leaned back in his chair with a relaxed air, picked up his book again, as if nothing had happened.

Luo Qingwan was stunned for a moment, unable to react, so she secretly raised her eyelids and glanced at Lin Yi.

He had already picked up the "Records of the Great Zhou Dynasty" again and was reading it with great interest, without even glancing at her again.

Is that... all there is to it?

This person isn't as scary as my sister said.

She curtsied and said in a voice barely audible, "Yes, this humble woman takes her leave."

After saying that, he rushed out of the main hall almost as if he were fleeing.

It wasn't until I ran out of the yard and was blown by the afternoon wind that I felt alive again.

"Huff, huff." She leaned against the wall, her eyes fixed on the central hall, panting heavily.

That was close!

But why did he let me go in the end?

Could it be true, as my sister said, that he doesn't want to touch me because he likes me?

Oh dear~~ Luo Qingwan, you shameless wretch! He's the enemy of your whole family! So what if he likes you? She can't fall for him!

No, you can't!

No matter how much Luo Qingwan resisted, once the thought popped into her head, she couldn't control it anymore. So she stomped her foot in frustration and decided to go to the kitchen to help, hoping to distract herself.
