Chapter 43 Reminder
"I thought you wouldn't come today." The girl in green clothes smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth.
Another girl smiled and said, "I was thinking of going to see you with Ayu after the princess' birthday banquet."
Chen Yi's plump cheeks flushed under the teasing of her two friends, and she whispered, "Even after getting married, I can't let anyone go out. Stop laughing at me."
"I'm not laughing at you." The girl in green clothes took Chen Yi's arm and said, "We are really happy for you. Your lifelong event is finally settled."
Another girl asked quietly, "Chen Yi, have you ever met the Prince of Pingjia?"
Chen Yi nodded slightly: "We met secretly."
"How is it?" the two friends asked in unison.
"Keep your voices down." Chen Yi's face turned even redder and she looked around hurriedly.
The noble ladies around were chatting and laughing in groups of three or four, but no one paid any attention to this side.
Wait a minute—the shyness on Chen Yi’s face faded away and turned into embarrassment.
The person sitting behind her is - Miss Lin Er?
The girl in green also noticed Lin Hao and immediately opened her almond-shaped eyes wide: "Second Miss Lin, why are you here?"
He was just short of sitting between them. It was obvious that he was here to eavesdrop on gossip, right?
Who is this person!
Lin Hao smiled calmly: "I came to look for Miss Chen. I saw the three sisters were talking, so I was sorry to interrupt them."
Their voices became lower and lower, and I couldn't hear them anymore, so I had to sit over here.
Is that so?
The two girls looked at Chen Yi with confusion in their eyes: When did Chen Yi become friends with Miss Lin Er?
Chen Yi was also confused: "What does Miss Lin want to talk to me about?"
"Can I talk to you for a moment?" Lin Hao pointed to the rose bushes outside the corridor.
Chen Yi hesitated for a moment and said to her two friends, "I'll talk to Miss Lin Er for a few words before I come over."
The two girls suppressed their curiosity and nodded.
As noble ladies arrived one after another, Lin Hao and the other two stood beside the roses and did not attract attention. Only Lin Chan glanced at her sister a few times.
"Miss Lin, if you have anything to say, please tell me."
Lin Hao pursed his lips and decided to get straight to the point: "I heard that Miss Chen is engaged to the son of Marquis Pingjia."
She has no friendship with Chen Yi. If she waits until they become familiar with each other, it will be too late.
Being straightforward may not necessarily make the other person believe you, but it will definitely plant the seeds of doubt in their hearts.
Chen Yi was stunned. It was obvious that she had never expected this topic.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yi asked, "What does Miss Lin want to say?"
Could it be that Second Miss Lin is in love with the Prince of Pingjia Marquis and feels that her lover has been stolen from her, so she is causing trouble?
It wasn't that Chen Yi thought the worst of people. Anyone would have such speculation when a girl who was almost a stranger suddenly came up to her and said these things.
Lin Hao took a step closer and lowered his voice: "I want to say that the Prince of Pingjia is not a good man."
Chen Yi's eyes suddenly widened, and she subconsciously grasped the rose branch.
The flower branch had thorns, causing her to let go of her hand in pain, and blood oozed out of her fair and tender fingertips.
Lin Hao took out a handkerchief and pressed it against Chen Yi's fingertips: "Miss Chen, are you okay?"
Chen Yi retracted her hand and looked at Lin Hao with a look that was wary, suspicious, confused and extremely complicated.
She was kneading the snow-white handkerchief, and in her confusion she forgot that the handkerchief was not hers.
"Miss Lin, could you please explain clearly?"
Lin Hao bit her lip, looking embarrassed: "Miss Chen, please don't tell anyone else what I said."
Chen Yi hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"A few days ago, the Pingjia Marquis Mansion came to my house to propose marriage, hoping to ask for my eldest sister to be married to the Pingjia Marquis' son."
Chen Yi suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Chan.
Lin Chan was chatting with her friends and would pay attention to her sister from time to time. She happened to look over at this moment.
Their eyes met, and Chen Yi quickly looked away, staring at Lin Hao closely.
Lin Hao laughed to himself, "I guess Miss Chen still remembers my parents' divorce?"
Chen Yi nodded slightly.
Who in the capital didn't know about the quarrel between the Wen and Lin families?
"Having learned from our past mistakes, grandmother was extremely cautious about our marriage. After the Pingjia Marquis's residence expressed their intention to marry her, grandmother arranged for someone to secretly investigate the character of the Pingjia Marquis's son." Lin Hao whispered, anger in his eyes, "This investigation revealed a problem."
"What's the problem?" Chen Yi asked immediately.
"The Prince of Pingjia has a lover."
Chen Yi's expression suddenly changed.
It is the age when love begins to blossom. How many people can have no aspirations for their future partner?
Lin Hao gave Chen Yi some time to accept it, then said, "You're still a man."
"Ah?" Chen Yi screamed in shock, her voice changing in tone.
What she heard was unbelievable.
After a long pause, Chen Yi finally regained her voice and looked at Lin Hao with suspicion: "Second Miss Lin, are you kidding me?"
Lin Hao sighed: "I'm not familiar with Miss Chen. I came to you specifically to make such a joke. Aren't you too free?"
Chen Yi stared at Lin Hao for a long time, trying to see guilt from his expression, but all she saw was seriousness.
This time, Chen Yi remained silent even longer.
Although Miss Lin Er did not seem to be lying, she still found it hard to believe these words.
Her fiancé likes a man?
As her rationality gradually returned, Chen Yi asked, "Why did Miss Lin Er come to me to say this?"
Even if it was true, why did Miss Lin Er come to tell her?
Lin Hao was stunned for a moment, with confusion in his eyes: "My eldest sister avoided the fire pit, and I heard that Miss Chen jumped in. I said this to remind Miss Chen."
"I mean... I'm not familiar with Miss Lin Er..."
Originally, it would be very rude to say such things, but because of Lin Hao's directness, he invisibly broke a certain boundary between strangers, so Chen Yi said it naturally.
Lin Hao looked even more surprised: "If you don't know her well, are you going to watch an innocent girl get hurt?"
Chen Yi was stunned. After a long silence, she said calmly, "Thank you, Miss Lin, for telling me. However, regarding the Marquis Pingjia's son, please don't mention it to anyone else."
I didn't say I believed it, nor did I say I didn't believe it.
Lin Hao was not disappointed with the result.
It would be naive to believe everything a stranger says about your life-long event.
She wanted the Prince of Pingjia to get his evil deeds punished and did not count on Miss Chen, so she said these words just as a reminder.
"Miss Lin Er, my friend must be waiting anxiously, I'll go over first."
Chen Yi seemed calm, but her steps as she left were much heavier.
Lin Hao stroked the blooming roses and walked towards the corridor with light steps.
Now that I have said everything that needs to be said, I can just kill time and wait for the birthday party to be over before going home.
After Chen Yi returned, she was pulled aside by her two friends and asked about it.
"Let's talk about it later." Chen Yi glanced at the girl who sat back next to Lin Chan, and a layer of gloom covered her heart.
What was supposed to be a party where I could get together with my friends before getting married suddenly became unbearable.
How credible is what Miss Lin Er said?
Chen Yi lowered her eyes and realized that the handkerchief Lin Hao handed her was still in her hand, crumpled beyond recognition.
