Sister 16

Chapter 16

The prince's lecture on Di Wenbin was unexpected to everyone present, even Yu Rubing was surprised.

Di Wenbin was both angry and surprised.

Logically speaking, among the few people, the prince has the most noble status, so it is not an exaggeration to say so.

However, he and the prince were not strangers. They treated each other as friends. In the past, when the prince lost his temper, he always showed some mercy to him and never scolded him in such words.

Today, the prince spoke without mercy, and one could hear a hint of resentment in his words.

Di Wenbin couldn't figure out how he had offended the prince?

The prince had been holding back, but when he heard what Yu Rubing said today, he felt extremely annoyed with Di Wenbin.

Now, instead of looking for trouble with Di Wenbin, Di Wenbin is looking for trouble with Yu Rubing?

Besides, there was nothing wrong with what Yu Rubing said. One could tell at a glance that her sister was the kind of person who was used to gossiping.

He looked over and saw that Di Wenbin was a smart man, but now he seemed to be blind and deaf, which made the prince feel that he had misjudged him before.

Di Wenbin has always known that the Crown Prince is a moody person. His father, the King of Qi, is a pillar of the dynasty, but the Crown Prince is more ambitious than the King of Qi. On the surface, he looks like a lazy playboy, but behind the scenes, he has many guests and officials all over the court and the country.

Di Wenbin naturally didn't dare to challenge him, and quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, saying, "Your Highness is teaching me a lesson, I made a slip of the tongue."

The prince did not answer, but moved his eyes away from him and glanced coldly at Yu Miaoyin.

That glance was like a bucket of cold water poured over Yu Miaoyin's whole body.

On the day at the palace, she was afraid of the prince. The power he exuded made her feel suffocated. Later, after asking Di Wenbin, she found out that the prince was indeed no ordinary person.

When faced with such a person, Yu Rubing not only did not know how to avoid him, but instead got closer and closer to him. Now the prince was speaking on Yu Rubing's side.

Especially the look from the prince just now was enough to give her nightmares for several nights.

Yu Bohai saw the tense situation and saw that more and more people were watching. He didn't want his family affairs to be used as a spectacle, so he quickly stepped forward to mediate and let everyone go back.

The prince naturally gave face to Yu Bohai and left after saying goodbye to Yu Bohai. Before leaving, he also gave Yu Rubing some advice, and the old princess asked her to visit her more often in the future.

Yu Rubing always felt that the prince had come up with these words on the spur of the moment.

After the prince left, Yu Miaoyin and Di Wenbin also left. Before saying goodbye, Yu Bohai just said "hmm" coldly.

Watching Yu Rubing and Di Wenbin leave, sadness gradually spread in Yu's father's eyes. After a long sigh, he slowly said, "Let's go too!"

Yu Bohai, who had been holding on just now, now released all his emotions. Yu Rubing saw his sadness but did not step forward to comfort him.

Some emotions need to be digested slowly by yourself. No matter how much others advise you, it will sometimes be of no help.

Yu Bohai boarded the sedan chair, and the bearers lifted it and walked forward. Just as Yu Rubing reached the door, a luxurious sedan suddenly approached her and stopped. Then a sinister male voice rang out, "Miss Yu is in such a good mood! I thought Miss Yu would not dare to show herself, but I didn't expect to run into her here again."

Hearing these sarcastic words and unfriendly tone, Yu Rubing's scalp tightened even though she couldn't see the man's face.

Yu Rubing suddenly became panic-stricken and at a loss. She had never been so nervous since she came here.

She inherited the original owner's memory. Is there anyone whose voice would make the original owner so scared?

When Yu Rubing thought of this, a person's identity vaguely appeared in her mind.

The next moment, the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, revealing a pale and gloomy face. The eyes were calm and vicious. When they fell on Yu Rubing, it was as if she was bitten by a poisonous snake. She could truly feel the heart-piercing pain.

Yu Rubing breathed a sigh of relief, now she understood why the original owner was so afraid of this person.

The man suddenly laughed, and that smile was inherently sinister, making people feel uncomfortable. "Miss Yu, do you know that you have ruined this good thing?"

Of course Yu Rubing knew. The moment she saw his face, she knew where her fear came from.

The person in the sedan chair was none other than Ding Botong, Marquis of Wu'an, who had once framed the entire Di family and put them in jail. Later, he was caught by the original owner and had to hand over the evidence proving General Di's innocence.

Ding Botong held a grudge and turned to deal with the Yu family again, using the same despicable means to kill the original owner's family.

In the original owner's memory, Ding Botong was narrow-minded, insidious, cruel, and used despicable means.

Because the emperor put him in charge of the armaments of the border garrison, Ding Botong took the opportunity to enrich himself and embezzled a lot of money. He was reported by General Di and not only lost half a year's salary, but also lost a hereditary honor of his ancestors. If his sister had not been the emperor's favorite concubine, he might not even have been able to keep the title of marquis.

Ding Botong dealt with General Di because he held a grudge against him; and he dealt with the entire Yu family because Yu Rubing held the secret that determined his life and death.

Ding Botong was so blinded by greed and so bold that he couldn't resist the temptation of profit and actually sold intelligence to the enemy country, causing heavy losses to the border troops.

This is a serious crime punishable by execution of the entire family!

When Ding Botong was dealing with the Di family, the original owner collected evidence against him. However, because he did not do it cleanly afterwards, he left behind evidence. Yu Rubing took the opportunity to seize the evidence and with just a few words of advice, she scared Ding Botong so much that he immediately withdrew.

But in fact, the original owner did not find any evidence of Ding Botong's treason. She just pieced together some hearsay and made inferences.

After the Di family was safe and sound, Ding Botong went to the original owner to ask for evidence of his crime, but the original owner didn't have it at all, so he could only shirk responsibility.

It was these repeated excuses that sowed the seeds for the extermination of the Yu family.

When the Yu family was raided, Ding Botong had already bribed the officials in charge. Yu Rubing had no evidence, and even if she had, it would be useless.

Now, when I meet Ding Botong again, he is definitely not here to chat with me because he is in a leisurely mood, but to get the evidence back, right?

As expected, when Yu Rubing thought of this, Ding Botong said, "I have fulfilled my promise to Miss Yu, but Miss Yu has not yet fulfilled her promise to me. I am here to ask her for clarification."

As expected! Yu Rubing wondered how the original owner would react if she heard this.

The original owner would be afraid. Although Yu Rubing was smart and bold compared to other girls of the same age, she would inevitably show her fear when facing a venomous snake like Ding Botong.

Whether it is a palace fight or on the battlefield, this is a taboo!

Showing weakness means being unsure, which indirectly exposes your weaknesses, allowing your opponent to see your true self and find opportunities to take advantage of you.

The original owner didn't understand this, but Yu Rubing knew it very well.

Yu Rubing would not be so naive. Although the original owner was deceiving Ding Botong, Ding Botong did not know this and thought he had something deadly in his hand.

After Yu Rubing regained consciousness, she gradually calmed down and realized that it was Ding Botong who should be nervous and afraid, not her.

Look at Ding Botong again, he has an aggressive attitude, as if he hasn't figured out who is the father and who is the child, and who is asking whom for help?

Yu Rubing felt more confident and asked him, "Are you begging me?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Botong's eyes widened like bells, and his voice was filled with chilling coldness: "Yu Rubing, I'm warning you, my patience is limited!"

Yu Rubing's eyes widened even more after hearing these threatening words. This guy still dared to get angry, so she immediately warned him, "I'm warning you too! My patience is even more limited than yours! Please be careful with your words! If I hear one more unpleasant word, tomorrow the emperor will have evidence against you."

Ding Botong was nearly fainting from anger. He had met so many people who had given him a hard time, but Yu Rubing was the only one who was even more arrogant than him. He was also the only one he couldn't do anything about. Ding Botong's mouth was practically blasting out words one by one: "What! Do! You! Want! To! Do!?"

Yu Rubing understood that Ding Botong's words were undoubtedly telling her that he was no longer sure of his own thoughts and the balance of the game had shifted.

Yu Rubing felt more confident and continued to work on something that Ding Botong couldn't understand: "Guess!"

When Yu Rubing uttered these two words, Ding Botong suddenly froze, and his previous impression of Rubing was shattered. He began to re-examine the girl in front of him, who was becoming increasingly difficult to understand.

Ding Botong knew that with his lifeline in someone else's hands, he should be the one to be humble and subservient: "I am not very talented, so I hope Miss Yu will speak frankly!"

He couldn't hold it in so quickly, Yu Rubing thought, this is too fragile. It seems that the original plot exaggerated Ding Botong's description in order to set the mood.

Since the advantage is increasingly in my favor and Ding Botong is also reconsidering me, I might as well scare him again.

Yu Rubing took a step toward him, stopped, and looked down at his face in the sedan chair. She told him word by word, with sincerity and heartfelt words: "I want to be the empress of the Great Yan Dynasty. My Lord, could you lend me a hand?"

Ding Botong showed an irritated expression. "Nonsense! Miss Yu, I'm not in the mood to joke with you. I repeat for the last time, my patience is limited!"

I'm furious again!

What he meant was that if he didn't give it to me today, he would deal with me. "My Lord, what you mean is that if I don't hand over the evidence, you will deal with me?"

Ding Botong suppressed his anger and replied, "I don't want to go that far. If the young lady is smart, she will know what to do wisely."

Yu Rubing sneered in her heart: Bullshit! Hand it over and you’ll die faster! Are you taking me for a fool?

Yu Rubing simply stopped playing dumb and said, "My Lord, do you think that if you get something like this and use it to threaten me, I would be so foolish as to hand it over so easily?"

"This is my life-saving talisman. As long as I hold it for one day, I can live safely for one day."

This was also what Ding Botong had expected. As long as Yu Rubing wasn't stupid, she wouldn't hand it over so easily. He simply stopped pretending and said, "The girl, you have to think carefully. This is a life-saving talisman, but it's also a death-threatening talisman. It can save your life, but it can also cost you your life!"

Yu Rubing knew it, of course, and didn't need him to remind her or scold her. However, she wanted to remind Ding Botong of one thing: "My Lord! Ever since the day I threatened you with it, I knew I had no way out, so I prepared two more escape routes for myself."

"Two escape routes?" Ding Botong seemed to be interested and wanted to hear what the two escape routes were.
