Chapter 110: A Fraud, a Difference Between Heaven and Earth
After what happened at the pavilion, Lin Qingxue no longer had the heart to entertain guests and went straight back to Baoyin Pavilion with her maid.
After returning to the yard, she took off the jewelry on her head and threw it at her feet as she walked.
"Miss, this is..." The maid picked it up hurriedly.
"Since he doesn't want to marry me, why should I wear the things he gave me!" Lin Qingxue said angrily.
She has been a favored child since she was young. How could she have ever suffered such injustice?
Xixi has always felt that over the years, no one except him dared to treat her like this, but who made her like him?
Do you like him so much that you have to get him even if it means losing your dignity?
Back in the room, Lin Qingxue wiped away her tears unwillingly, took the hairpin from the maid and put it on her head again.
This concerns her lifelong happiness, she cannot act on impulse.
"Miss, don't be sad. His Royal Highness Prince Jing was just speaking in anger. Don't take it seriously." The maid advised.
Lin Qingxue shook her head, "No. Cousin King Jing is a man of his words. Since he said so today, he will definitely do so. No, I have to think of a way!"
"Miss, why don't you tell Madam about this and let her handle it." The little maid had great faith in Xiao Chen's ability to do things, and she felt that she would always be able to handle this matter.
Lin Qingxue didn't think so. "Only I can save myself in this matter. No one else can help me."
As she spoke, her eyes turned and fell on the plum wine in the corner.
I have an idea!
…
After lunch, half of the guests left.
The few remaining people were all on the waterside pavilion in the Lin family's back garden admiring the lotus and enjoying the cool air.
The Lin Mansion was originally the residence of King Li of the previous dynasty. It was built very luxuriously and had been abandoned until Emperor Ming gave it to Lin Ruhui.
Lin Ruhui had no money to repair it, so the plants and trees here still look like those of the previous dynasty.
There is a small island in the center of the lake. Two summer houses were built on the island, but because they are too dilapidated, no one lives there now.
So, when Beigong Yu heard that Lin Qingxue wanted to invite him to the island, his eyes were full of impatience.
"What does this idiot want to do?"
No one has ever lived on that island, and no one has taken care of it. It's very dirty and messy, and there might even be poisonous insects. He would have to be crazy to go there.
"Your Majesty, the Second Miss said she wanted to return the token of love to you."
Speaking of the token of love, Beigong Yu narrowed his eyes fiercely. For so many years, Lin Qingxue was so unscrupulous and always regarded herself as Princess Jing, all because of this token of love.
This was a gift that Lin Ruhui's mother specially sent to the Lin Mansion after he was promoted to Right Prime Minister.
From then on, he was completely tied to Lin Qingxue.
As long as he gets the token of love, he can get rid of this idiot.
"Let's go."
The servant saw him stand up and hurriedly advised: "My Lord, be careful, there is a scam."
Beigong Yu seemed to have heard something funny, and said disapprovingly: "She doesn't have the guts to plot against me. Besides, Lin Qingxue is so stupid that even if you give her two more brains, she won't be able to plot anything."
A straw bag is nothing to be afraid of.
Hearing him say this, the servant was completely relieved.
If the second young lady could plot against the prince, she would not be Lin Qingxue.
After landing on the island, Beigong Yu discovered that the island was not as desolate and dirty as he had imagined. Apart from the fact that it had not been renovated, it was quite clean and tidy.
At this time, Lin Qingxue was sitting at the round table in the room with her maid Zi Su, still wearing the gorgeous silk dress she wore in the morning.
As soon as she saw him, she stood up immediately, "Cousin."
Hearing this shy voice, Beigong Yu frowned subconsciously.
"Cousin, please take a seat."
"No need to sit down, I'm already here, and it's time for you to take out your things."
The man's face was full of impatience and anxiety, which made Lin Qingxue feel heartbroken. Was it so uncomfortable for him to be with her?
She suppressed her sadness and told Zi Su with a smile, "Pour some wine for King Jing."
Zi Su poured the wine and introduced it, "This is the plum wine that the old lady brought from Jiangzhou. It is sweet and refreshing, and a rare flavor in Shengjing. King Jing, please try it."
Looking at the clear liquid in the cup, Beigong Yu's lips curled up into a half-smile.
"Cousin wants me to drink this wine?"
Lin Qingxue nodded shyly. "I'm afraid I won't be able to see my cousin often from now on. Before we leave, I want to talk to my cousin about my true feelings."
After she said this, Zi Su tactfully retreated with the servant.
Beigong Yu had no intention of listening to her. He just shook the wine glass in his hand and drank it down in one gulp. "As you wish."
When Lin Qingxue saw this scene, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Over the years, I have been holding myself to the standards of a noble lady from Shengjing, just hoping that my cousin would like me." As she spoke, she poured Beigong Yu another glass.
Unexpectedly, Beigong Yu almost laughed out loud when she heard this, "A lady from a famous family?"
Does she know what the standard of these four words is?
Lin Qingxue suddenly looked up.
Then Beigong Yu said, "In my opinion, only fairies like Princess Yun'an who are not tainted by the mundane world are true ladies from noble families."
Princess Yun'an?
These four words were like a thorn that suddenly pierced into Lin Qingxue's heart.
She couldn't believe that in just a few months, he actually fell in love with Lu Yun'an!
She couldn't hide her disappointment and said anxiously, "Cousin, I can learn. I can definitely be more ladylike than Lu Yun'an."
Beigong Yu sneered, "The difference is like heaven and earth."
What he liked most was the aloof feeling from Lu Yun'an that kept people at a distance.
This is something that Lin Qingxue, a dog-skin plaster, will never be able to learn in her lifetime.
Lin Qingxue bit her lip. "Cousin, I have been looking forward to this day every day over the past few years, because after this day, I can marry you. Do you know how much I like you? How could you...how could you do this to me?"
"Is there really no chance for us?"
Just when Beigong Yu was about to reach the limit of her patience, Zi Su's exclamation came from outside, "Miss, Miss Tang, you...why are you here?"
Lin Qingxue frowned subconsciously.
These two were really haunting her and always ruined her plans.
"Cousin, I'll go take a look first..."
Before she could finish her words, Lin Lanyue rushed in, pulling Lin Miaoyin with her.
"Why are you here?" Lin Lanyue exclaimed as she looked at Beigong Yu and Lin Qingxue in the room.
She thought this place was deserted and no one was around, so she brought her sister Miaoyin here to hide away, but she didn't expect to run into these two people here again.
"There's still wine! What do you want to do?" Lin Lanyue asked subconsciously.
"This is the plum wine that my grandmother brought from Jiangzhou. I invited my cousin to come over and taste it. Don't think too much about it!" Lin Qingxue snorted coldly, her annoyance hard to hide in her tone.
Lin Miaoyin narrowed her eyes slightly.
A man and a woman were alone in a room, with... spiked wine at hand.
It goes without saying what Lin Qingxue wants to do.
"I was wondering why this taste was familiar. It turns out to be the plum wine brewed by my grandmother!" Lin Lanyue said as she poured herself a glass without hesitation and drank it all in two gulps.
This scene happened so fast that Lin Miaoyin had no time to stop it, "Lan Yue..."
"Sister Miaoyin, please try it. This wine is delicious." Lin Lanyue said as she poured another glass and handed it to Lin Miaoyin.
