Chapter 199: Alliance with Princess Lin'an
Chapter 199: Alliance with Princess Lin'an
Lin Rusi burst into laughter. She simply couldn't accept Princess Lin'an and the other girl, and hadn't intended to mock them like this.
But they went too far, actually bullying her directly.
This wouldn't normally be a big deal. Lin Rusi is usually magnanimous and wouldn't hold a grudge against children. But these two tried to sow discord between her and the Shen sisters.
Now, even without the Shen sisters, Lin Rusi had no intention of letting them off the hook.
She just didn't expect that Shen Mengyi, who had been silent all the way, would speak up for her.
The two had a falling out, and Lin Rusi couldn't help but smile, venting her anger.
"Sister, there's no need to indulge them. You are of noble status; how could they dare to offend you?"
Shen Mengyi spoke indifferently, but her eyes held a hint of disgust.
Similarly, Lin Rusi replied in a low voice, "Why bother arguing with them? Let's go back."
Lin Rusi had wanted to get some fresh air, but with Li Zeyan and Princess Lin'an arriving one after another, she had lost all interest in going out.
……
On the other side, Princess Lin'an and her companion were so angry that their faces turned red. They glared at Luo Lan fiercely when they saw her beside them.
"Luo Lan, do you really think that?!" Princess Lin'an questioned coldly. Luo Lan quickly waved her hand, at least for now.
She couldn't afford to offend Princess Lin'an.
"Princess! How could I?! You don't actually believe Lin Rusi's words, that little bitch is just trying to sow discord!" Luo Lan explained.
However, Princess Lin'an clearly did not believe this statement and coldly mocked it.
"That's for the best!" Princess Lin'an stormed off in another direction. Seeing this, the two people who had been observing from the corner for a long time finally came out slowly.
"Princess of Lin'an greets you. May you be well."
Upon hearing the voice, Princess Lin'an turned around and saw two unfamiliar faces.
She instinctively turned her head to look at Luo Lan, who explained in a low voice, "This is..."
Princess Lin'an immediately understood, but he remained arrogant, almost glancing at the two of them sideways, and spoke with a hint of disdain.
"You may now rise."
Princess Lin'an's eyes held a hint of disdain, which Li Chun could easily see, and he was naturally displeased.
She was not the kind of person who would submit to Princess Lin'an. Li Chun despised that kind of lackey, Luo Lan.
Just as she was about to say something, Li Chun's sleeve was suddenly pulled tightly.
While she was wondering, Sun Jiayi immediately stepped forward: "Princess, I just saw you talking to Princess Jinglie?"
Princess Lin'an was slightly taken aback, glanced at Li Chun and the other person with a hint of disdain.
"Aren't you two being a bit too nosy?"
Princess Lin'an's eyes were filled with displeasure. Damn Lin Rusi! If he hadn't spouted those nonsense words, she wouldn't have been so humiliated. These two were just ordinary noble ladies, yet they dared to inquire about the affairs of this princess.
Thinking of this, Princess Lin'an's face turned extremely ugly, and her disgust for Lin Rusi deepened even further.
Seeing that Princess Lin'an looked unhappy, the two quickly waved their hands, especially Sun Jiayi.
She stepped forward with a hint of ingratiation: "Princess Lin'an, you have misunderstood us. It's just that we have some entanglements with Princess Jinglie, and he doesn't seem to like us very much."
Upon hearing Sun Jiayi's words, Princess Lin'an's eyes lit up with interest; clearly, she was interested in this matter.
So she turned her head to look and said, "Oh, tell me about it."
Sun Jiayi's eyes flickered, and she explained, "It's all because of Lin Rusi. Ever since she became Princess Jinglie, she's become ruthless and doesn't recognize anyone, even her own family. I heard that it's difficult for her sister to even see her."
Such divisive words are exactly what Princess Lin'an likes to hear, especially when they belittle Lin Rusi.
He was pleased to hear this, and then sneered, "I knew that woman wasn't a good person; she wouldn't even acknowledge her own sister!"
"That's not all! I wonder if the princess would be interested in hearing about it?" Sun Jiayi immediately leaned closer, speaking cautiously yet excitedly.
Seeing that the two women also disliked Lin Rusi, Princess Lin'an felt as if she had found allies and joined forces with them.
He immediately started complaining: "I don't know what kind of airs Lin Rusi is putting on, she just happens to have won the favor of Prince Jinglie!"
Princess Lin'an seemed to have found a floodgate to talk, and she started complaining one after another.
Li Chun and Sun Jiayi already had some opinions about Lin Rusi, so they naturally echoed her, occasionally mentioning things Lin Rusi had done.
Of course, it was all embellished, but although this tactic was somewhat despicable, it was also exceptionally effective.
Soon, Princess Lin'an became close with the two of them and even found a sense of belonging and alliance in them.
Luo Lan was pushed aside by the two of them, and no matter what Princess Lin'an said to them, Luo Lan had no way to get a word in edgewise.
Even though she couldn't find any common topics, she still wanted to talk about Lin Rusi.
Just as Sun Jiayi was getting into the conversation, she said, "If you ask me, he's just relying on Prince Jinglie's power to bully others."
Upon hearing this, Luo Lan immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, I think so too."
But after he finished speaking, Princess Lin'an glared at him with displeasure. He hadn't even spoken yet, why was Luo Lan interrupting?
Could it be that he really sees her as just a supporting character, so she gets to say everything?
It seems we need to teach Luo Lan a lesson, so he won't forget who his master is in the future!
Princess Lin'an ignored him. As for Li Chun and Sun Jiayi, each of them had their arms around Princess Lin'an's arm, and the three of them chatted and laughed like good sisters.
Luo Lan was completely excluded; she couldn't even join in the conversation between the three of them.
Luo Lan subconsciously glanced at Princess Lin'an and brought up the subject: "I remember that Lin Rusi also embarrassed the princess in public before. She really doesn't know what's good for her!"
However, the others seemed not to hear Luo Lan's words. Sun Jiayi was not without discernment and could see that Princess Lin'an was intentionally suppressing the girl beside her.
Presumably wanting to teach him a lesson, Sun Jiayi and the other woman ignored Luo Lan.
The same Princess Lin'an simply snorted. To be honest, Shen Mengyi was right.
Why would someone as attractive as Luo Lan willingly stay by his side?
It's simply because of her status as a princess, but what if she didn't have that status?
Who knows what he's really thinking? Maybe he feels like he's just pretending to be someone else to bully others.
In general, Princess Lin'an didn't really trust Luo Lan.
Moreover, he now has two girls he can chat with, so why not leave Luo Lan out of the picture and see how she performs?
Luo Lan watched the three figures walk away quickly, and she hurriedly followed, but a sense of displeasure arose in her heart.
However, due to her status as the Princess of Lin'an, she could only grit her teeth and not say anything more.
Luo Lan knew in her heart that Princess Lin'an had probably believed Shen Mengyi's provocation.
