Chapter 146: I Can’t Stay in This Lin Mansion Anymore
Lin Qingjun thought that the jade pendant incident would cause a big stir in the Lin Mansion.
After all, she, a woman with a fiancé, actually secretly kept a jade pendant given by another man, and it was revealed in front of Nanny Li.
This matter is unacceptable both morally and logically. Even the Wu'an Marquisate will cancel the engagement with the Lin Family because of this matter.
But she didn't expect that things would take such a "turn"?
Only a few days had passed, and she had actually climbed into the Crown Prince's bed? And at Concubine Ning's summer banquet?
Lin Qingjun's first thought was, is she crazy? Does she realize that by doing this, she's offending three powerful figures they can't afford to offend? One is the Empress, one is Consort Ning, and the other is the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince knew he was the one being plotted against, Lin Yingxue's death would be even more tragic.
Oh no, the entire Lin family died even more miserably.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingjun felt more and more that she could not stay in the Lin Mansion any longer. She had to quickly find a way to sever ties with the Lin Mansion and escape, otherwise, she would die without knowing how.
She instructed Xiaotao and Zhang Yapo to pack up the things, and asked Aunt Liu to only pick up the important things and not take the rest that could not be taken away.
She was so nervous that everyone was confused, but they still obeyed her orders.
"Lin Qingjun, what are you doing? Are you thinking that I'm about to take over the East Palace and you're going to run away?"
At this moment, Lin Yingxue suddenly came over. She saw Xiaotao and the others packing up their things and said proudly.
"But you're also right. I will be someone you can't reach in the future. If I want you to die, you must die. If you don't escape now, when will you?"
"But you can't escape. I will never let you leave here."
"Lin Qingjun, I want you to be unable to live or die. That jade pendant was clearly given to you by Xiao Yuan, yet you used it to frame me? You vicious concubine, why don't you just die?"
Lin Yingxue did not hide her true face at all.
Her anger was real, and her desire to kill Lin Qingjun was also real.
She had never imagined that she would be teased by Lin Qingjun one after another. This time, she was even ruined in reputation, beaten by her father, blamed by her mother, and even her younger brother who was far away in the academy sent a letter back to question her.
She lost all her face, was in a state of panic, and thought she was about to lose her position as the heroine. She couldn't eat or sleep, and thought her life was ruined.
All the experiences and emotions she had never experienced before were revealed in just a few days, and what about Lin Qingjun? She was eating and drinking in Qijun Courtyard as usual, as if everything had nothing to do with her?
How could she not hate her and kill her?
Fortunately, God still favors her, and there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
Now, she is not only the prince's woman, but also catches the eye of Concubine Ning. Her good days are coming, and what belongs to her is hers and she cannot escape it. However, this still cannot eliminate her hatred for Lin Qingjun.
She was afraid that Lin Qingjun wouldn't believe her, so she raised the bracelet in her hand.
"See? This is the bracelet made of gold, jade and coral that Concubine Ning personally gave me that day."
"The beads are coral, with gold patterns around the edges, and the bracelet clasp is jade. Each one of these is the finest of fine goods, worth a hundred gold coins. Smell them, they smell very fragrant."
"But even if I put it this way, I'm afraid you won't understand, right?"
"Indeed, you're just a concubine who only knows how to embroider in the backyard. The best thing you've ever seen is just a piece of mutton-fat jade. How could you possibly know the value of coral?"
Coral is from the deep sea and was fished out by specialized fishermen. It is said that this coral has a calming effect. There is only one such coral in the emperor's study. This bracelet was probably specially given by the emperor as a reward to Concubine Ning because of his favor.
And now, Concubine Ning had gifted her with something so important? Among all the noble ladies in the entire capital, she was the only one to receive such a gift. How could she not be happy?
Moreover, this bracelet has a unique fragrance that can be smelled from a distance, which makes her love it even more. Women often have the fragrance of cosmetics or sachets, but this bracelet does not have that fragrance.
If she wore this thing to attend a ladies' banquet, everyone would look at her sideways. She liked the feeling of being the center of attention.
Lin Yingxue burst into laughter.
But she didn't see Lin Qingjun's face suddenly change, he covered his mouth and nose, and distanced Aunt Liu and others from Lin Yingxue again.
Mrs. Zhang was puzzled. "Miss, is there something wrong with this coral bead bracelet?"
She saw that the bracelet was very valuable. The filigree craft on the coral alone did not seem like folk craft, but more like that from the palace. And the jade buckle was of excellent quality, delicate and soft. The buckle alone was made of such precious jade, not to mention the value of the bracelet itself. And the fragrance was indeed a unique fragrance they had never smelled before.
The eldest lady said that this was a gift from Concubine Ning, which proved the extraordinary nature of this bracelet. Even if it was a small item that came from the palace, it was beyond the imagination of ordinary people like them.
Lin Qingjun frowned.
She was a concubine's daughter, and had never seen any good things, but she was a reborn person. It would be a lie to say that she had no experience. In her previous life, when she was dealing with the ladies, she gradually came into contact with these precious things, and at the same time, she also witnessed the most vicious means.
She had seen this thing before, and remembered it with deep worry.
In her previous life, she met the prince's concubine at a banquet hosted by a certain lady. She was wearing a string of things like this in her hand.
At that time, her eyes lit up when she saw it for the first time. She knew that this was a precious and good thing, but the lady next to her pulled her away from Concubine Ning and told her that this thing contained a large amount of musk and safflower that could cause infertility.
And precisely because they didn't want others to smell anything unusual here, they made the bracelet smell strange, just like the Dongzhu of Old Madam Qi. In order to prevent her from discovering anything unusual, they made the Dongzhu extremely gorgeous.
She was shocked at the time. Does this mean that the prince did this because he didn't want Concubine Ning to get pregnant?
But now she thought, maybe it was because Concubine Ning didn't want Concubine Ning to get pregnant. Although Concubine Ning was her own niece, why she did this was not something that a mere lady like her could understand.
And now, this bracelet is in her hand, which means that Concubine Ning does not want Lin Yingxue to be pregnant with the prince's child.
Oh, this is not a favor at all, this is clearly a conspiracy.
If Lin Yingxue hits the target with one strike, then even if the Queen Mother doesn't want to admit it, she will have to admit it. After all, the royal heir cannot be left outside. Considering the baby in Lin Yingxue's belly, her rank in the Prince's Mansion will not be a small Fengyi. She may be promoted to Liangdi, or even a higher-level concubine.
Lin Qingjun smiled.
"Sister, if you are truly favored, then why is there no movement in the palace?"
