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

Chapter 118: The Luminous Pearl

Looking at the clothes, Lin Ruqin felt a sense of melancholy.

But she didn't know who she could confide her troubles to, and suddenly realized that all these years had passed and she had been all alone.

I don't even have a single true friend around me.

Only then did I realize how uneasy I felt.

The next day, Lin Le returned from outside and discovered that many people were delivering things to Lin Ruqin.

What are you doing here?

Looking at these servants, he also felt a little strange, after all, Si Yu had never liked her.

“Master, these things were all sent by Madam to give to the eldest young lady. Madam said that the eldest young lady is at an age where she loves to look pretty, and she doesn’t need those jewelry herself, so she thought it would be better to give them to the eldest young lady.”

Seeing this situation made him feel somewhat puzzled.

They've been fighting like this for over a decade, how could they suddenly change their personalities?

That's why I came to Si Yu's place.

"Madam, when I came back just now, I saw that you gave Ruqin a lot of things. These are all part of your dowry. Why didn't you leave any for Rusi?"

“Master, I know I’ve neglected Miss Sisi over the years. Sisi already has a lot, but the jewelry she wears is still old. That’s why I thought of giving her these. Don’t worry, Sisi will have plenty.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Lezheng also felt guilty.

Over the years, the mother and her daughters have had a bad relationship, but I never expected them to say such things now.

"Master, you don't suspect me too, do you? I just feel that I have indeed done wrong all these years. As the lady, I also have a responsibility to help my deceased sister take care of the eldest daughter. I did wrong in the past."

After Si Yu finished speaking, she appeared even more sincere.

Lin Lezheng was also somewhat surprised to see this, not expecting these words to come from Si Yu's mouth.

“Good! My wife has been taking care of the backyard for me all these years, and she has indeed worked hard. Seeing that you and your daughters can get along well makes me happy.”

Lin Lezheng was naturally pleased to hear this.

"Master, this is all I should do, but I realized it too late. From now on, I will definitely treat Miss well."

Lin Lezheng found these words very helpful.

He's a very traditional person, so it would be a good thing for him if they could get along well.

"You're becoming more and more like a matriarch. You're the Xiaoyu I first knew."

After Lin Lezheng finished speaking, Si Yu felt disgusted, but she still smiled on the surface.

If you want to avenge the child in your womb, you must not let anyone notice anything amiss.

"Alright, I'll go check on the eldest girl first. I've neglected her these past few days, and I'm afraid that she'll become estranged from her father from now on."

After saying that, he left.

Upon hearing this, Si Yu also felt that he had completely forgotten about the child in her belly.

He harbored great resentment towards this matter, seeing it as blatant favoritism, yet he never admitted it.

"Madam, it's windy outside. Let me help you back to rest."

"Yuanyang, don't you think Grandpa is a really hypocritical person?"

The little girl next to him was also a little scared after hearing this.

"Madam, this servant would not dare to speak nonsense."

Hearing this answer made Si Yu laugh. She didn't want to say anything more and went straight back to her room.

Now, apart from his daughter, there is no one in this family he can trust.

That evening, after finishing her reading, Lin Rusi planned to go to sleep.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, I heard a noise coming from the courtyard outside. I felt a little worried and opened the window, but I didn't see Li Jingyang.

Without hesitation, he climbed through the window and entered.

"The dignified Prince Jinglie, I never knew he had such a hobby, liking to climb through people's windows in the middle of the night?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang rolled his eyes at the other person.

“You’ve been staying indoors all these days, and I haven’t seen you for a while. I’ve been thinking about you, so I thought I’d come and visit you today.”

"You're talking nonsense. Didn't we see each other in the store just three days ago?"

"You said it yourself, it's been three days already, are you still not allowed to come and visit you?" Li Jingyang said, looking aggrieved.

"Fine, I'm too lazy to argue with you about these things. Just say what you have to say today."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang simply smiled and then took out a box and placed it on the table.

"I received a treasure today, and the first thing I thought of doing was bringing it to you. I didn't expect you to turn me away like this, and it really hurts me."

After saying this, Li Jingyang deliberately put on a pained expression.

"What's this."

"Why don't you open it and see for yourself?"

Upon hearing this, they carefully opened the box, only to find a huge luminous pearl inside.

The moment the box was opened, the whole room became much brighter.

"Where did this come from? I've never seen such a large luminous pearl before."

Lin Rusi was somewhat shocked. In her past and present lives, she had seen many treasures, but she had never seen such a huge luminous pearl.

Just one of these can brighten up the entire room considerably.

“I know you like to read at night, but it’s not good for your eyes. This thing was given to me by those people to curry favor with me. I don’t think it’s anything cheap, so I thought I’d give it to you.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi felt a touch of emotion.

"Thank you."

She felt that apart from her mother, no one had ever cared about her like this before, and now, looking at Li Jingyang, she felt a different kind of emotion.

"Why bother with all this between us? If you like it, I'll find you more treasures to give you later."

Li Jingyang was speaking, but Lin Rusi also knew that such a luminous pearl was something that could only be found by chance.

Having such a subject is already a remarkable achievement.

"Let's forget about it. This one is enough. Look, the whole room is much brighter here. We don't need to light candles to read at night anymore."

"I'm glad you like it."

After saying this, he stared blankly at Lin Rusi. Although her face could not be described as a peerless beauty, every time he looked at her, he felt extremely at ease.

"What are you looking at? Is there something dirty on my face?"

"Not really, it's just that a day apart feels like three autumns, so now that I've seen you, I naturally have to take a good look at you."
