Chapter 37: Inhumane? Who spread the rumor?
What?
Ji Chenchuan doesn't even have the strength to prepare for the bridal chamber?
Lin Qingjun stood there in a daze, unable to believe it. She instinctively looked towards Ji Chenchuan who was sitting opposite her, and her gaze naturally moved down to three inches below her abdomen.
Ji Chenchuan's face was blue and red. If he didn't want to maintain a gentle and weak appearance, he would have rushed into the next private room without caring about anything and beat the person who spread the rumor to death.
Who said he is incapable of doing anything?
Who said he was weak?
He is a man, and a normal, strong man.
More importantly, how could he have fabricated such a completely unfounded rumor in front of Lin Qingjun? How would Lin Qingjun feel about him? This wasn't just an attack on him; it was an attempt to ruin his happiness for the rest of his life.
Xiao Yuan, what a good Xiao Yuan! He shouldn't have let him off so easily in the first place. He should have sent him to death directly.
Looking at Lin Qingjun in front of her, she began to doubt him, and her eyes were looking up at him?
this?
this?
this?
For the first time, Ji Chenchuan had the urge to prove himself at all costs.
Lin Qingjun also noticed Ji Chenchuan's unnaturalness. His ears seemed to be red?
She suddenly thought of something and cursed herself inwardly. How could she do that? Ji Chenchuan was already pitiful enough. What did it matter whether he was humane or not? As long as he was alive, what did it matter if he was inhumane?
Moreover, if Lin Yingxue really loved Ji Chenchuan, how could she dislike him? She would naturally feel even more distressed for him.
Lin Qingjun wanted to apologize to Ji Chenchuan for her rude behavior just now, but she couldn't say it. After all, it involved his privacy and his dignity as a man.
So, she coughed lightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip to hide her embarrassment.
However, the soundproofing of this private room was too poor. They could hear the conversation between Xiao Yuan and Lin Yingxue clearly. It seemed that she would never come to this restaurant next time, otherwise, she didn't know when her words would be heard by the people around her.
"I'm in good health."
What?
Lin Qingjun was drinking tea when she suddenly heard Ji Chenchuan say this. She didn't pay attention and choked on the tea, starting to cough violently.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough."
Ji Chenchuan didn't expect that he just wanted to explain himself, but he scared her instead. Her small, fair face, which was the size of a palm, turned red after a while of coughing.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
He instinctively wanted to go up and pat her on the back, but he knew that she had strict rules about sex and would never allow anyone outside to touch her. The fact that he could sit opposite her today was entirely due to his frail health and her kindness.
He could only sit there, looking at her with a worried look on his face, and imitated her actions to pour her a glass of warm water, speaking gently and anxiously.
"Drink some warm water and press it down."
Lin Qingjun looked at the tea in front of her and the bony finger, her eyebrows slightly raised. This scene was so familiar. Wasn't this what she had done to him just now? Now, the situation has reversed. She coughed, and he poured the tea?
But she didn't dare to take the tea. She suddenly remembered her aunt's words, "You like the prince."
But she was sure that she had no feelings for the prince. In her previous life, she respected him for sparing the old slave, and respected him for not becoming irritable and moody because of the nineteen years of illness. Instead, he was able to live more transparently than others, and his temperament was gentler than that of ordinary people. This was something that ordinary people could not achieve, and it was also the most important thing she respected about him.
And now, she still felt sorry for him. Originally, he was supposed to live only three or four years, but fate did not let him go. Lin Yingxue was not a good wife, and he was unaware of the plot against him. Just like now, his fiancée was hugging Xiao Yuan beside him, but he could do nothing.
In addition to feeling distressed, Lin Qingjun was also angry at Lin Yingxue and Xiao Yuan's shameful behavior.
For the sake of their own selfish desires, they ignored the feelings of others, ignored the rules and laws, and were so presumptuous and arrogant. They were really shameless. It was not enough to hurt her, but they also wanted to hurt Ji Chenchuan? They really deserved to die.
"Prince, if..."
She wanted to say that if he didn't want to get married, she had a way. After all, Lin Yingxue was not a good person, and he was so weak and gentle. Even if he was dying, he should not be plotted against like this. Since the world was unfair, she could seek justice for him.
To be honest, it would be easy to ruin this marriage. After all, Lin Yingxue and Xiao Yuan had plenty of evidence for her to use.
But before she could finish her words, the voices of Lin Yingxue and Xiao Yuan were heard again from the side.
The sound of Lin Yingxue sobbing.
"Brother Xiao, do you think I want to get married?"
"But you know that my Lin Mansion is only a fourth-rank mansion. How can we compete with that first-rank marquisate?"
"The Marquis's Mansion is pressuring my Lin Mansion with their ancestral marriage contract. How can I escape?"
"Originally, my father wanted to let my concubine's younger sister marry him in his place, but my concubine's younger sister despised the Marquis of Wu'an because he was a sickly person and was unwilling to marry him at all."
"I felt sorry for my half-sister, so I had no choice but to choose me to marry her."
"Brother Xiao, please don't blame my illegitimate sister. She has no choice. She was born out of wedlock to begin with, and her life is difficult. It's understandable that she wants to find a better way out."
When Lin Qingjun heard this, her face turned red with anger.
She lied. When Marquis Wu'an came to talk about this marriage, Lin Zhi had no intention of asking her to marry. Moreover, when this marriage came about, she took the initiative to say that she wanted to marry in. At that time, she said righteously that she could sacrifice her own happiness for the Lin family.
How could she say that now?
Lin Qingjun was afraid that Ji Chenchuan would misunderstand, so she looked up at him steadily and said to him silently, "That's not the case."
Ji Chenchuan understood her lip movements, and he naturally knew that this was not the case. Lin Yingxue married him for the position of the Crown Prince's Consort of the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion, and she would never sacrifice herself for the Lin Mansion. She, Lin Yingxue, was not that noble.
Just looking at Lin Qingjun's adorable appearance with her cheeks puffed up and her lips tightly closed due to anger, Ji Chenchuan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth in pleasure. He really wanted to pinch that pink little face and tell her, don't be angry, he knows, he knows, he knows everything.
Xiao Yuan said with sudden enlightenment.
"No wonder Madam Lin wanted to torture Lin Qingjun. I actually thought that Madam Lin was just like the other ladies in other mansions who oppressed concubines and used despicable means."
"But I didn't know there was such a thing in it?"
Lin Qingjun, it was so painful for her to lie to him.
"Yingxue, don't cry. I know, I know everything. You've been wronged."
"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."
Xiao Yuan gritted his teeth. He had truly been deceived by Lin Qingjun. After she married him, he had taken care of her parents-in-law and taken care of everything for him. He had truly thought he had married a virtuous wife. He had never imagined that she could be so cruel and vicious. Next time they met, he would teach her a lesson.
Hearing this, Lin Qingjun sneered.
