The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Chapter 227 Ruer's daughter will definitely not be so stupid

After giving instructions to Madam Kong, Mrs. Lin asked someone to help Zhou Lingyi change his clothes, called for a doctor, and sent someone to the kitchen to stew something, keeping a group of servants running around.

In the middle of the conversation, he did not forget to hug Zhou Lingyi and scold the Shen mother and daughter together.

Because Nanny Kong said it was an urgent matter, Earl Yongning came very quickly this time.

He was wearing a dark purple brocade robe with silver patterns and walked into the house with a solemn expression.

The chaotic scene in front of him made him look gloomy and he asked in a cold voice, "What's going on?"

The room suddenly became quiet. Lin drove the servants out, then turned abruptly, looking at Earl Yongning with red eyes, and choked out a sob, "My Lord, look at how Yi'er has been bullied!"

As she turned around, Earl Yongning also saw Zhou Lingyi, whose face was covered with red marks, and who was blocked by Lin behind him.

A hint of surprise flashed across his dark pupils, and he frowned slightly as he asked, "Yier, what's wrong with you?"

He was fine when he returned home just now.

Earl Yongning was a man, so he naturally didn't understand the purpose of those cosmetics. Moreover, he came back on horseback, not in a carriage, so he didn't notice anything unusual about Zhou Lingyi.

Although Lin noticed that Zhou Lingyi's face was a little pale, she was immersed in the news that Prince An requested a marriage and did not come to her senses. She just thought that Zhou Lingyi was sad.

He didn't think much about it, just thinking that there were many people outside and it was too much for him to see, so he hurried back home to comfort Zhou Lingyi.

Zhou Lingyi was afraid that people outside would find out about her stupidity and laugh at her, so she didn't dare to reveal it until she entered the mansion and was surrounded by servants from the Marquis's mansion.

Zhou Lingyi stood up with tears in his eyes, completely exposing his face to Earl Yongning, and called out in grievance, "Father——"

Earl Yongning approached with a frown on his face, and Zhou Lingyi choked up as he told him what was happening in the palace.

Of course, she changed her words a bit and said that the slap on her face was given by Shen Qionghua. Anyway, Shen Qionghua didn't say that and couldn't expose her.

Her father has always been obsessed with that bitch Lin Wanru. If she doesn't speak more seriously, how can her father make a decision for her?

Lin had already listened to it once and was adding to it.

The more Earl of Yongning listened, the darker his expression grew. When Zhou Lingyi finished, she was about to ask Earl of Yongning to make the decision for her, but Earl of Yongning asked her another question, "Why are you going there for the palace banquet today?"

With just one sentence, Zhou Lingyi's steps felt as if they were weighed down by a thousand pounds, and the words demanding the decision were stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

Zhou Lingyi didn't expect her father to be so perceptive that he could immediately catch the loophole in her words.

Zhou Lingyi was at a loss for words and didn't dare to say that Shen Qionghua had heard what he had said about the Lin family when he invited Prince An to meet him.

If Shen Qionghua really went to the Lin family and told them those words, and asked the Lin family to ask the emperor to cancel the engagement, wouldn't she be a sinner?

Her father will definitely scold her, and His Highness will also blame her!

Zhou Lingyi's lips moved, but he couldn't utter a word.

Yongning Earl waited for a while, but Zhou Lingyi still hesitated and couldn't speak. Yongning Earl's patience ran out, and he shouted, "Speak!"

Zhou Lingyi then spoke fearfully, "I...I invited His Highness to come out and meet me, and then...and then..."

Earl Yongning added expressionlessly, "And then Shen Qionghua and Princess Pingning saw you, and you started an argument with them?"

Zhou Lingyi nodded with a pale face.

Earl Yongning stared at the slap mark on her face and said with certainty, "You inflicted this injury on your face yourself."

Zhou Lingyi bit his lips instantly, feeling his face burning and a little ugly.

Seeing that his lie was exposed, Zhou Lingyi had no choice but to honestly explain the whole story.

After hearing what Zhou Lingyi said, Earl Yongning was left with a face full of disappointment.

He didn't expect that Zhou Lingyi, who grew up in the Marquis' Mansion since childhood, was not as smart and scheming as Shen Qionghua.

Earl Yongning looked at Zhou Lingyi and said, "You really disappoint me. You are not even as good as Shen Qionghua."

After saying that, he glanced at Lin again.

If it was Ru'er who married in the first place, the daughter they gave birth to would definitely not be as stupid as Zhou Lingyi.

It’s a pity that he only has one daughter, Zhou Lingyi, so she has to marry Prince An.

There was no emotion in that look, but Lin miraculously understood it.

Lin's eyes were red as she questioned, "Master, what did you mean just now? Shen Qionghua has bullied Yi'er like this, and you are still thinking about that bitch!"

Lin rushed forward and threw herself into his arms, beating him, "How could you do this! How could you do this to me!"

Earl Yongning was a little impatient. He grabbed Lin's hand and said, "What do you want? Do you need me to remind you of your current state?"

"Have you forgotten what happened that night at Fahua Temple? The fact that you can still sit in the position of mistress of the Bo Mansion is only because I am concerned about the two children."

"If you want to live the rest of your life in peace, teach your two children well!"

Then, he looked at Zhou Lingyi and said, "You're not as skilled as others, yet you still have the nerve to cry here. Instead of spending this time, you'd better think about how to keep your intentions from the Lin family."

"If I ruin His Highness's great cause, His Highness will definitely vent his anger on the Earl's Mansion."
