"Wait a minute." Xu Jing said, "Listen to her."
Lin Wanru had warned herself not to act impulsively beforehand, saying that impulsiveness was the devil and would only harm her. But when she heard Xie Yunqi personally agree to the marriage, the string of reason in Lin Wanru's mind snapped, and her sense of faith collapsed.
She knew that if she didn't seize this opportunity, she might end up like her predecessor, living a life of widowhood in the Prince of Qin's mansion. If she hadn't met Xie Liangchen, perhaps there would still be room for a turnaround. She could have won Xie Yunqi's love and stayed with him forever.
But she had already tasted the good stuff and no longer wanted to pick up men from the trash can.
Lin Wanru sneered, "Your Highness, don't pretend to be ignorant. You love Lin Qingru, not me. Are you marrying me home just for show?"
"Why, do you think being my consort is unfair to you?" Xu Jing's lips curled up in a cold smile. "The imperial decree clearly states that I want to marry the second daughter of the Lin family. Why are you going to disobey it?"
"You're talking nonsense! It clearly says she's from the Lin family. My eldest sister is also from the Lin family, so why can't she marry you? You're selfish, cold-hearted, and heartless. How can a fool like you be worthy of me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.

The Lin family had no marquises or earls in their ancestors, and the only reason they can have a place in the capital now is because of Concubine Lin's face.
As a result, Lin Wanru shamelessly said that she wanted Lin Qingru to marry the King of Qin in his place. Isn't this a slap in the face?
Lin Guangmao rushed over and slapped Lin Wanru to the ground. He suppressed his anger and said, "Young lady, you have gone crazy. Why don't you take her away quickly!"
Before Xu Jing could lose his temper, Xie Yunxiu couldn't sit still anymore. He sneered, "Lin Wanru, you're so arrogant that you actually look down on the royal family? When I get home, I'll have a serious talk with my father and have him arrange a new marriage for Miss Lin Er!"
"Prince Zhuang, please calm down." Lin Guangmao's back was drenched in sweat as he quickly bowed. "It was my poor parenting that offended the two princes. I apologize to you."
