Chapter 73 Lies
At this moment, Liu Wanqing was being bullied by her parents-in-law and husband in the Marquis' Mansion, and Lin Ruzhen was also very rude to her.
"What's it to you where I go? Get out of here, you hen that won't lay eggs!"
A flash of pain flashed across Liu Wanqing's eyes, but she still managed a forced smile: "Sister-in-law just saw that there was a stain on your skirt, so she came to remind you out of kindness."
"Ah, my skirt is dirty?" How can this be possible?
So she quickly looked down and said, "Where is it, where is it?"
"It's at the back." Liu Wanqing helped her lift the hem of her skirt. The originally clean pink skirt was left with stains after being pulled a few times by Liu Wanqing's hands.
Liu Wanqing was asked by Lin Qingyue to help her delay Lin Ruzhen for a while so that she would have the opportunity to meet Dongfang Yan and explain the previous rescue incident clearly.
No one in the family was willing to believe Lin Qingyue's words, only Liu Wanqing believed in her and helped her.
But Liu Wanqing never expected that her sister-in-law, who had always been timid and cowardly, would later cause such a big fuss.
Just like that, when Lin Ruzhen went back and changed her clothes, the people who had "made the rice into a fait accompli" became Lin Qingyue and Prince Jin.
And she tragically lost her position as princess!
But she blamed all the responsibility on Lin Qingyue. In order to snatch Prince Jin, she staged a suicide scene by jumping into the lake on their wedding night.
Dongfang Yan clenched his fists tightly, and his joints crackled.
The truth is actually like this!
Lin Ruzhen, oh Lin Ruzhen, you have deceived me so much!
This king regards you as his savior. Even though he knows that you are a fake daughter and have the blood of a pariah, he will still arrange a place for you by his side.
But you stole all of this!
You deceived me and caused me and Qingyue, a perfect match, to become a couple of enemies!
When the dream ended, Lin Ruzhen woke up slowly.
She still remembered the scene she had just dreamed. She couldn't help but be shocked: How could I dream about something from the past? Fortunately, it was just a dream, no one knew about it.
When I looked up, I saw Prince Jin standing by the bed with a cold look in his eyes.
"Your Highness..." she called softly, holding her forehead and sitting up. "Why did I fall asleep? Oh, maybe it's because I was so excited about being with Your Highness last night that I didn't sleep all night. I was busy with the wedding during the day and didn't have time to eat. I am weak now and fell asleep accidentally. Your Highness, please don't blame me."
This was her usual trick, and every time she used it, Dongfang Yan would feel heartbroken.
What was strange was that at this moment, Dongfang Yan did not ask about his well-being as usual, but continued to look at him without saying a word.
Could it be that I am too beautiful tonight and the prince is stunned by me?
She lowered her eyes, revealing a somewhat coquettish look: "Your Majesty, you have been staring at me like this, I am embarrassed!"
Pretending, bitch, you are still pretending!
He raised his hand and wanted to slap her, but was afraid of dirtying his hands.
So he took a deep breath, suppressed the rage in his heart, and said in a calm tone, "Zhen'er, how did you save me more than half a year ago? Tell me again."
"Why bring up the past, Your Highness? Your Highness, why don't we just go to bed?"
Lin Ruzhen didn't dare to lie casually during this period. The honesty curse was like a branding iron hanging in her mouth, which could burn a big blister in her mouth at any time.
Tonight, in order to prevent the smell in her mouth from ruining the beautiful atmosphere of her wedding night, she carefully covered her mouth when she spoke to prevent the smell from escaping.
However, Dongfang Yan just couldn't let go of the past.
"I just want to hear you talk about the past. Was it you who saved me that day?"
"Speak! This king must listen to you!"
His tone was harsher than ever, without a trace of warmth.
Lin Ruzhen's heart suddenly began to beat inexplicably, and she felt very uneasy.
Could it be that Lin Qingyue was talking nonsense in front of the prince again? If I keep avoiding the topic, the prince will probably listen to Lin Qingyue's words.
"Yes." As soon as the word came out, severe pain in her mouth and tongue swept over her. She endured it tightly, not wanting King Jin to see that she was lying.
"Okay." Dongfang Yan suddenly smiled, but his smile was very cold.
"As long as you tell me, I will believe you. I'm afraid that if you don't tell me, you'll appear guilty. Tell me, you bandaged my wound, right?"
Lin Ruzhen had no choice but to continue answering: "Yes, I bandaged it."
The pain in her mouth was so severe that she began to sweat, but she tried to endure it.
"Who taught you this bandaging technique?"
"Why don't you say anything? Go ahead and tell me. As long as you say it, I will believe it." Dongfang Yan's eyes were burning, and he was clearly smiling, but it seemed different from before.
"Zhen'er learned it from...from a folk doctor." She had no choice but to continue lying.
Dongfang Yan saw that the corners of Lin Ruzhen's mouth began to twitch because of the pain, but he didn't expose her and continued to ask, "Which doctor is it?"
Lies cannot stand up to scrutiny, so one lie requires hundreds or even thousands of lies to cover it up.
He trusted her before and didn't investigate further.
But now, he asked one question after another. After asking the doctor, he asked her how she carried him on her back, whether she had spoken to him while carrying him, and what they had said.
After finally getting through this series of questions, Dongfang Yan began to ask her if she knew who had drugged her.
All he got in answer was a bunch of lies.
In the end, Lin Ruzhen vomited pus and blood, cried loudly in pain, and could no longer utter a word.
Dongfang Yan looked at her coldly: "This is the price of lying. Liars get sores in their mouths, rotten tongues, and rotten mouths!"
Lin Ruzhen suddenly reacted and looked at Dongfang Yan with tears in her eyes, wanting to ask him if he had deliberately tricked her into lying.
But her tongue was completely ulcerated and she could no longer speak a complete sentence.
Dongfang Yan looked at her mouth full of sores and pus, and felt extremely disgusted:
"How dare you tease me? Do you really think I will never discover the truth?"
Lin Ruzhen finally felt scared and crawled over to hug Dongfang Yan's legs, wanting to ask him to forgive her for the sake of their past friendship.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, yellow pus mixed with blood and saliva flowed out, and she couldn't utter a single syllable clearly.
"Get out of here, bitch!" Dongfang Yan kicked him. "How dare a filthy thing like you touch me? Someone, come here!"
The door of the bridal chamber opened and several guards came in.
"Strip this bitch of her finery, remove her jewelry, and drag her to the servants' yard. From now on, she will only be allowed to do the dirtiest and most tiring work and eat the worst and smelliest food!"
