He knew better than anyone that the Third Prince in front of him seemed gentle as jade, but was actually ruthless.
"I don't know what your Highness means by this."
Li Lingge inserted two fingers deep inside and said calmly.
"It's very simple. One betrothal gift is that I will help you refine a God-Forging Pill in the future. The other betrothal gift is to prepare some mundane things."
vulgarian? !
Zhao Lingyu watched coldly from the sidelines, and finally sneered at this moment. These words were clearly meant for him.
"Third brother knows how to choose the right time."
He looked at Yun Ji meaningfully.
"This play is well sung."
Li Lingge kept smiling and spread his hands in a helpless manner.
"Second brother, you misunderstood. Yun Ji heard that her sister had stripped naked in public, so she became worried and came back to check."
As he spoke, he deliberately turned his head to look at Yun Ji, who was trying hard to suppress her smile.
"Isn't it?"
"Um."
Yun Ji nodded, but her shoulders were shaking a little.
Zhao Lingyu knew that if he continued to stay, he would only bring humiliation upon himself.
He had already made up his mind to sever ties with the Yun family, so he didn't stay any longer.
"The Yun family, take care of yourself."
Yun Wangtian didn't come back to his senses until Zhao Lingyu left. The words Li Lingge said kept lingering in his mind.
"The betrothal gift is that I will help you refine a God-Forging Pill in the future."
As long as Yun Ji gets married and the medicinal materials for the God-Casting Pill are gathered, the Third Prince can help him refine the God-Casting Pill in the future.
At this moment, he had completely forgotten about the betrothal gifts.
Even a fool would know which one to choose between these two betrothal gifts. Of course, it’s the God-Forging Pill!
"I choose the God-Forging Pill!"
When these words were spoken, Madam Yun's heart suddenly tightened.
"Father, how are we supposed to repay the Second Prince's betrothal gift?"
At this time, Li Lingge suddenly spoke.
"The person who tied the bell must untie it. If we just let Miss Yun kneel down in front of the mansion and beg him, Second Brother will relent and perhaps waive the betrothal gift."
Upon hearing this suggestion, Madam Yun immediately shouted angrily.
"Third Prince, don't you think my daughter has been humiliated enough?!"
Li Lingge shrugged, looking indifferent.
"I'm just giving you a suggestion out of kindness. It would be best if you could come up with the betrothal gift."
As if he had thought of something, he spoke again.
"Ms. Yun has become like this now. I don't think she's fit to continue being a goddess."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yun suddenly became anxious.
She had figured out that as long as the Third Prince had the God-Forging Pill in his hands, Yun Wangtian would give in without a second thought.
"Father, Lan Yi has worked hard for the family over the years. She is in this state now and can't stand the stimulation."
Yun Wangtian hesitated for a moment, and just as he was thinking about how to refuse, Li Lingge said meaningfully.
"The success rate of this God-Forging Pill depends entirely on my mood. If I'm in a good mood, I'll definitely be able to make the pill in one go. If I'm not in a good mood..."
Yun Wangtian didn't dare to hesitate any longer and spoke immediately.
"From today on, Yun Lanyi's position as goddess will be abolished."
With his ability, it would be extremely difficult for him to gather all the medicinal materials for the God-Forging Pill.
If he fails in the first attempt, he might never have the chance to collect the second batch of herbs in his lifetime.
It's just a position of goddess. To him, it makes no difference who sits in this position.
"From now on, Yun Ji will be the new goddess of our Yun family. The goddess ceremony will be held in three days."
He turned to look at Li Lingge and asked tentatively.
"Your Highness, this is satisfactory."
Li Lingge did not speak, but turned to look at Yun Ji beside him, asking with his eyes: Are you satisfied?
Yun Ji bowed to Yun Wangtian.
"Yun Ji will definitely not let Grandpa down."
…
Yun Lanyi curled up in the corner of her boudoir, her fingers dug deep into her palms, blood dripped through her fingers onto the hem of her white skirt, blurring out into dazzling red plum blossoms.
Festive music came from outside the window, and each sound pierced her eardrums and hurt her.
"Miss Yunji is so lucky! I heard that the Third Prince is extremely handsome."
The maids' whispers burrowed into her ears like poisonous snakes. Yun Lanyi suddenly grabbed the bronze mirror on the dressing table and smashed it against the window frame.
Her once bright face was now as pale as a ghost, with dark circles under her eyes and her lips bloody from being bitten by herself.
“Why?”
Her bloody nails scratched deep marks on the sandalwood floor. The lowly child who had been trampled under her feet since childhood was now going to become the concubine of the third prince, while she had become the laughing stock of the entire capital!
Memories came flooding back like a tide. She remembered the ugly sight of herself tearing her clothes in public on Mid-Autumn Night, and the disgusted look in the Second Prince's eyes when he broke off the engagement.
"ah--!"
She suddenly ripped off the bed curtain like crazy, and the embroidered gauze shattered into pieces in her hands.
The dressing box was overturned to the ground, and pearls and agates rolled everywhere.
A white jade hairpin caught her eye. It was the gift given to her by the second prince last year, but now it felt like a sharp knife piercing her heart.
"Yun Ji! Do you think you've won?"
Her scarlet eyes were reflected in the broken bronze mirror, filled with overwhelming hatred.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the yard. When Mrs. Yun pushed the door open, she saw her daughter sitting quietly in front of the dressing table combing her hair, as if the madness just now had never existed.
"Lan Yi."
Mrs. Yun looked at her daughter's strange smile in the bronze mirror and shuddered for no reason.
Yun Lanyi slowly combed her long hair, her voice as gentle as a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
"Mother, this body of mine is already despised by everyone. I can no longer keep it."
