“The Crown Prince is different from Prince Jing. If you offend him, you won’t even know how you died.”
As Lin spoke, she became worried about how Jiang Su had managed to get his son back.
"I've told you so many times, don't act rashly when things happen. Although your father is the prime minister and can protect you, if you don't behave yourself and drag the Jiang family down, your father will not forgive you."
Jiang Zhenlin had already been thoroughly scolded by his father while serving as the Prefect of the Capital. He not only had to kowtow to the Crown Prince to apologize but also punished himself by being demoted before he was allowed to return. Already displeased, Lin Shi's nagging only made him unable to hold back, and he said, "I didn't want to be impulsive, but Lin Qingwan eloped with someone, and I... I'm just afraid she'll be fooled by a man!"
"It's been so long, who knows what she and that man did!"
When Lin Qingwan heard Jiang Zhenlin had come to the inn, she knew he would say that, but when she actually heard it, she still felt an indescribable tightness in her chest.
Lin did not immediately reprimand Jiang Zhenlin, but looked at her with the same complicated gaze. Perhaps she refrained from lashing out because she remembered that Jiang Zhenlin had risked her life to apply the medicine for her.
Hesitating for a moment, Jiang Su came out of the cubicle, his face cold, and scolded, "You worthless wretch! Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? How dare you slander His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"If you want to die, go die outside. Don't drag the Prime Minister's mansion down with you."
"How could I have given birth to such a bastard like you?"
Jiang Zhenlin's eyes were filled with hostility. He didn't think he had done anything wrong. If he hadn't been a few steps too late, Lin Qingwan would still be in the Crown Prince's room!
She was vomiting blood and stumbling out, yet she still managed to bump into the Crown Prince. Who would believe she had such luck!
The only explanation is that she deliberately pounced on the Crown Prince Fugui when she saw him.
Jiang Zhenlin said, "She's the one who ruined the reputation of the Prime Minister's residence, why doesn't Father scold her!"
"Shut up!" Jiang Su snapped.
Jiang Zhenlin, ever the rebel, said, "Father, let Lin Qingwan come out and tell her herself whether she was staying in the same room as the Crown Prince!"
"The bathtub inside is so big, who needs to take a bath to treat an illness!"
He spoke frankly, showing no regard for Lin Qingwan's reputation.
Jiang Su, unable to bear it any longer, slapped Jiang Zhenlin so hard that half of his face swelled up.
Madam Lin panicked, "Prime Minister!"
Hearing his wife's weak voice, Jiang Su forcibly suppressed his anger and said to Jiang Zhenlin, "Get down and kneel in the ancestral hall! Don't come out until you've knelt there for a month!"
