After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 114: Falling into the Water

Lin Ruqin returned to the manor, only to unexpectedly run into Si Yu.

Thanks to Lin Rusi's reminder these days, I haven't gone looking for trouble with Lin Ruqin for a long time.

Now that their daughter wasn't home, they managed to corner Lin Ruqin in the backyard.

"Mother."

At this moment, Lin Ruqin lowered her head meekly, looking completely obedient.

But a thought flashed through his mind, and he was determined not to let this woman bully him today.

"Oh, isn't this Miss? It's one thing for you not to stay at home, but you're always running around outside. If you ruin our family's reputation and it affects my daughter, who can take responsibility for that?"

Lin Ruqin found it laughable upon hearing this.

This woman is completely impulsive and acts on a whim.

Lin Rusi has been away doing business these days and is rarely at home, but now she is pushing all the responsibility onto herself.

They really are mother and daughter, equally detestable.

“Mother, I just went out to take care of some things and didn’t do anything else. If you don’t believe me, you can send someone out to investigate.”

"Really? How could that be found out? If you really wanted to do it, you wouldn't have left any clues. I can't blame you for that, since you didn't have a mother to teach you from a young age, it's only natural that you don't follow the rules."

Lin Ruqin was already used to the woman's barrage of accusations.

The two had never gotten along.

"Mother...you'd better not forget how you got the position of the principal wife in the first place. Do you want me to remind you?"

Lin Ruqin felt uncomfortable whenever she thought of her mother.

Only then did he raise his head and stare intently at Si Yu in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Si Yu became furious. Over the years, despite being in the position of the wife, there were always people gossiping about this matter.

Especially Lin Ruqin.

“Young Miss doesn’t know the rules. Now I can only teach you properly on behalf of your deceased mother. Granny Sun, go and take out my braid.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruqin turned pale with fright.

When I was a child, this woman once accused me of stealing, and I was whipped as a result.

I was in so much pain that I was bedridden for two days and couldn't get out of bed. Two faint scars were left on my back.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up and pushed Si Yu.

"Mother, you forced me to do this. I never did it, why are you making me admit it?"

Unexpectedly, Si Yu didn't react in time and slipped, falling into the lake.

Lin Ruqin knew that now that she was pregnant, no one in the entire mansion dared to offend her.

Seeing this situation now, I'm still stunned.

"How could this be... I didn't even use any force!"

Seeing this, Hongzhi knew that this matter could not be kept secret. With so many servants watching, she was afraid that she could not deny it.

Thinking about this makes me feel a little scared.

“Miss, we have no other choice now. We should go to the old lady for help. Just tell her everything that happened today. Maybe she will be more willing to help you and let the matter drop.”

Hearing this, Lin Ruqin felt a little scared.

No matter what, the child in this woman's belly is his unborn brother. If anything goes wrong, his father will not forgive him.

Only after thinking about this did I feel regret.

But at this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else and ran straight to the old lady's courtyard.

All the servants were in a panic, never expecting that the young lady would do such a thing.

They went through tremendous effort to retrieve the lady from the water.

They quickly went outside to fetch a doctor.

Everyone felt nervous, after all, the lady was pregnant.

If anything happens to this child, I'm afraid the grandfather won't forgive them easily.

When Si Yu woke up, Lin Lezheng had already returned. Seeing his wife in this state, he was furious.

“That child has always been sensible. I never expected him to dare to do such a rebellious thing. I will definitely give you an explanation for what happened today.”

“Master, I only reminded Miss a couple of times today because she came back too late. But who knew she would disobey me and push me down in front of so many people? If anything happens to the baby in her belly, how am I supposed to live?”

After saying this, tears welled up in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Lin Lezheng absolutely refused to allow such a thing to happen in his own home.

As a daughter, how dare she bully her mother? There's no reason for that in the world.

“Master, the young lady has done such a thing today. I’m afraid she will try to take advantage of us in the future. I know that a mother shouldn’t argue with her child, but this matter is really too outrageous.”

After saying this, Si Yu also started wiping away tears.

She was already very beautiful, but now that she's fallen into the water, she looks pitiful.

Seeing this situation, Lin Le could no longer hold back.

“This girl really went too far. Go and fetch the young lady here.”

But to everyone's surprise, Granny Sun also felt somewhat embarrassed after hearing this.

“Master, after the young lady did this, she has been hiding in the old lady’s courtyard. No matter who we go to call her, she will not come out. How dare we servants offend the old lady?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Lezheng never expected that his most beloved daughter would do such a thing.

At this moment, I felt extremely disappointed.

Left with no other choice, he had to go to the old lady's courtyard himself.

But to everyone's surprise, the gate was tightly shut, and only an old woman was left outside.

"Master, the old lady has already gone to bed. The young lady will stay with the old lady tonight. If you have anything to say, please wait until tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Lin Lezheng felt a surge of anger rising within him.

Lin Ruqin has done such a thing and should be punished, but I didn't expect the old lady to be so biased.

"Grandma Yang, the young lady did something wrong today. As her father, I should discipline her. Go and bring that rebellious daughter out here right now."

After Lin Lezheng finished speaking, he felt that no one in this family could go against his wishes.

But to everyone's surprise, Granny Yang could only shake her head helplessly.

"Master, the old lady said that she will not open the door to anyone today. Please go back first. Even if there is something very important, we can discuss it tomorrow."

Lin Lezheng also felt helpless. Although he knew that the old lady loved this girl, he did not expect that she would be so biased.
