Chapter 178 Lin Qingyue’s secret was discovered?
Dongfang Yan couldn't help but chuckle inwardly when he saw that Princess Lingxue was indeed moved by him:
Naive girl, you're so easy to fool. Just a few words of concern will easily move you. Although I don't like you, I like your noble status—it's enough to match mine.
"That jewelry store looks nice. I want to go shopping there, but I don't like strangers waiting around."
Princess Lingxue arrogantly put forward her request, wanting to test whether Dongfang Yan was really good to her.
"That's easy."
Dongfang Yan winked at the guards behind him, and they rushed into the nearby "Treasure Pavilion" like bandits, shouting:
"The Prince of Jin and His Royal Highness the Princess have arrived. All outsiders are requested to stay away!"
The guests in the Treasure Pavilion dared not offend King Jin, and immediately left wisely.
But in the blink of an eye, there was no one else in the store except the shopkeeper.
Princess Lingxue smiled and took Dongfang Yan's arm: "Brother Yan, you are so kind."
She likes the feeling of being held in someone's palm and pampered.
Compared to Dongfang Qi's indifference and ruthlessness, Dongfang Yan made her more and more satisfied.
She picked out a lot of things in the Treasure Pavilion, and Dongfang Yan bought them for her without blinking an eye.
After a round of shopping, Princess Lingxue's mood brightened and she felt very relaxed.
After coming out of the Treasure Pavilion, Princess Lingxue was about to go shopping in other shops when she suddenly saw a figure squeeze out of the crowd and shouted, "Husband!"
Dongfang Yan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman with disheveled hair and a bulging belly appearing before him.
He ordered in a cold voice: "Anyone who dares to challenge this king shall die. Drag him down and beat him to death!"
The woman shouted at the guards who were about to attack her, "I am the concubine of the Prince of Jin. Who dares to disrespect me?"
As she spoke, she hurriedly brushed aside her messy hair and said to Dongfang Yan, "Your Highness, it's me! I'm Lin Ruzhen, your beloved Zhen'er! Look, I'm pregnant with your child, your eldest son!"
Dongfang Yan recognized the person and was furious: It turned out to be her, the bitch who slept with him and ran away!
In the past two months, he has searched almost the entire capital, but still couldn't find her.
I never expected that she would run out at this time, and I don’t know what tricks she wants to play.
Thinking that he had just won Princess Ling Xue's favor, he absolutely could not let this bitch ruin it.
He suppressed his murderous urge and said, "I don't know you, so stop your nonsense. Come, this woman is pretending to be a noble. Send her to the government office for questioning!"
"Wait!" Princess Lingxue took a few steps closer and looked Lin Ruzhen up and down.
Dongfang Yan hurriedly said, "Sister Axue has ulterior motives. Don't get close to her, and don't listen to her nonsense. I don't even know her. I don't know who is instructing her to bite like a mad dog!"
Ling Xue ignored Dongfang Yan and asked Lin Ruzhen, "You need evidence to speak. You said you were the concubine of Prince Jin. Do you have any evidence?"
Lin Ruzhen said, "My prince has a mole on his butt. You wouldn't know it if we hadn't had physical contact."
This commotion already attracted many onlookers, and the words aroused countless discussions:
"It seems that she is really the prince's concubine, otherwise she would not know."
"So the prince also has moles. He seems to be no different from ordinary people!"
"But why would the prince's female relative be in such a mess? I just thought she was a beggar. And judging by the prince's expression, he doesn't even want to acknowledge her."
"She's quite pretty, why don't you admit her? Could it be that she's cheating on the prince?"
Seeing that more and more people were gathering to watch the show, and the comments were becoming increasingly harsh, Dongfang Yan gave a look, and his guards immediately dispersed the crowd.
Dongfang Yan could no longer hold back his anger and slapped Lin Ruzhen in the face: "Bitch, how dare you humiliate me like this? You're courting death!"
Ling Xue sneered: "It seems to be true. His Royal Highness Prince Jin is truly a sentimental man."
After saying that, she turned and left, and all the good impressions she had just had disappeared.
"Sister Axue!" Dongfang Yan shouted, but when he failed to call her back, he knew that all his efforts tonight were in vain.
Lin Ruzhen got up from the ground and tugged at his sleeve pitifully: "Prince, listen to me..."
Dongfang Yan had never hated a woman so much before. He grabbed Lin Ruzhen's neck.
The gnashing of teeth was filled with hatred deep down in his bones: "Lin Ruzhen, how dare you come back? Do you know that I want to strangle you to death even in my dreams!"
"Your Highness, I am pregnant... pregnant with your..."
"So what if you're pregnant with my child? If I don't acknowledge you, you're a bastard and deserve to die just like you!"
Dongfang Yan's fingers exerted a little more force, squeezing her to death like a chicken.
"I know... Lin Qingyue's... secret! She... she..."
Hearing Lin Qingyue's name, Dongfang Yan's grip loosened slightly: "What secret does she have?"
"Let go...I will tell you..."
Dongfang Yan threw her to the ground and said coldly, "Speak. If you dare to tease me again, I will torture you to death!"
Lin Ruzhen lay on the ground gasping for breath for a while before slowly recovering.
Her voice was still a little hoarse, but her eyes were sparkling—if she won the bet, she knew that as long as it involved Lin Qingyue, Dongfang Yan would be interested!
"Lin Ruzhen, my patience is limited." Dongfang Yan simply didn't have the patience to wait any longer, but since it was related to Lin Qingyue, he couldn't help but be curious.
Lin Ruzhen slowly got up from the ground. Although she still looked disheveled, the expression on her face had returned to its usual cheerful and cheerful look.
"Your Highness, have you never doubted Lin Qingyue's identity?"
"What do you mean by this? Are you showing up today to tell me that you are the real daughter of the Lin family, and Lin Qingyue is an imposter?"
"Yes, she is a fake!"
Dongfang Yan sneered: "Is that all you want to say?"
Even though Lin Qingyue's background was questionable, she was now Prince Chaolan and had won the Crown Prince's favor. It no longer mattered whether she was the daughter of the Lin family or not.
Lin Ruzhen asked, "But what if she's not human, but a ghost in human skin? Can a ghost be the prince of Qi?"
Dongfang Yan chuckled. "I thought you really knew something. I didn't expect you to make up such a ridiculous lie! Don't you know that Lin Qingyue is from the Xuanjing Division?"
"Although the Xuanjing Division is a motley bunch, they do have some skills. It's impossible for them not to see through Lin Qingyue's identity."
"Lin Ruzhen, even if you want to frame someone, at least make it believable!"
Lin Ruzhen said anxiously, "That only proves that she is not an ordinary evil ghost, and her abilities are so great that even the people from the Xuanjing Division can't find her!"
