Chapter 502: Chapter 502: Tricking People Again

"Yunting Brother, I... I didn’t mean that!"

Lin Fuying’s face turned pale; she merely wanted to use this as an excuse to win back Ye Yunting.

Had she ever considered the consequences?

"Then what do you mean? For a woman like you, this king allowing you to live should already be considered a grace you should be grateful for!"

"Stop playing tricks on this king!"

Ye Yunting had no patience left for Lin Fuying.

In his view, not killing her was already a great mercy on his part.

The affection from their childhood had already been thoroughly exhausted by her.

However, not killing her didn’t mean he had forgotten the things Lin Fuying had done.

He hadn’t gotten around to dealing with her only because he had been too busy.

"Yunting Brother, I..."

"Get out of my sight!"

The disgust in Ye Yunting’s eyes grew thicker, feeling that sharing a carriage with Lin Fuying was a huge insult.

Lin Fuying’s expression immediately stiffened.

This was in the middle of the street!

When Ye Yunting told her to get out, wasn’t that equivalent to humiliating her in public?

With people constantly coming and going, did she still care about her face?

But clearly, Ye Yunting did not care at all.

He looked at Lin Fuying indifferently, and seeing that she didn’t move, he directly ordered the carriage to stop and roughly pushed her out.

Because she was in such a hurry to get off the carriage, she didn’t land steadily and her knee heavily knocked on the ground, causing her to cry out in pain.

But even then, Ye Yunting didn’t spare her another glance and simply drove away.

"Damn it! How could he treat me like this!"

Even for someone as thick-skinned as Lin Fuying, being treated this way still felt extremely humiliating.

She was all alone, and the common people around, because of her delicate dress, did not dare to come forward to help.

"Miss, what happened? If you don’t mind, may I help you up first?"

Lin Fuying looked up, facing a gentle and soft-featured face.

The man in front of her was dressed in lavish clothes and bore some resemblance to Ye Yunting, but compared to the fierce Ye Yunting, he seemed much more elegant and gentle.

The man now saw her face clearly, "It turns out to be Commandery Princess."

"It’s improper for me to neglect you, but since there’s a reason, please stand up first."

He stretched out his wide sleeve to give Lin Fuying leverage, helping her up.

Having just fallen on the ground, Lin Fuying’s clothes were tainted with dust, and he naturally noticed this.

His attitude was warm and natural: "The Commandery Princess’s clothes are dirty; coincidentally, there’s a tailoring shop ahead, may I accompany you to take a look?"

"You shouldn’t call me Commandery Princess," Lin Fuying said with her head down, not daring to meet his eyes, appearing coy to onlookers, "I am just a concubine, hardly deserving such a term from Crown Prince His Highness."

Lin Fuying was well aware of this man’s identity.

Between Ye Yunting and the Crown Prince, she had weighed her options.

Only, the Crown Prince was not favored by the Emperor and his abilities and maternal family’s power couldn’t compare to Ye Yunting’s.

Having been childhood sweethearts with Ye Yunting, she naturally wouldn’t hesitate to choose him.

But what she hadn’t expected was that everything wouldn’t progress as she wished, and she would end up in such a disgraceful situation!

If she had known this day would come, why did she bother in the first place?

"This is not in the palace; I won’t be formal with you, and you need not be restrained either. Since you are the third brother’s concubine, you can certainly bear my term of Commandery Princess."

The Crown Prince was mild-mannered, entirely unlike Ye Yunting’s volatile temperament.

Lin Fuying nodded gently, "In that case, I shall trouble Your Highness."

"Nanli, what interesting thing are you looking at? Let me see too!"

From a nearby carriage, Lin Xuanxuan noticed Chu Nanli continually looking outside and couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"Nothing much, just spotted someone familiar."

The carriage had just arrived at this spot, and Chu Nanli had only managed to catch a glimpse of Lin Fuying’s profile.

And the man beside her wasn’t Ye Yunting, yet he somewhat resembled him.

Unfortunately, Chu Nanli also only saw a profile and couldn’t discern his identity.

"I just, I think I saw Lin Fuying."

"Why her, of all people?"

Lin Xuanxuan’s expression changed instantly, and her curiosity quickly faded.

She didn’t want to become excessively entangled with Lin Fuying.

Nor did she want to confront her.

Every time she met Lin Fuying, she felt it brought bad luck.

"Luckily, she didn’t see us."

If Lin Fuying had seen them, she would have certainly approached with feigned politeness to "say hello," inevitably making some snide remarks.

"Compared to Lin Fuying, I’d rather deal with Princess Changping."

In the past few days, Lu Xinyue had seen them twice, and each time she had been very generous with her silver.

And today, they were going to meet Lu Xinyue as well.

"I was thinking of arranging to meet you all tomorrow, only unfortunately, I have to accompany my father to the palace to meet the Emperor and the Empress Dowager."

Lu Xinyue’s face was filled with smiles, but her demeanor still carried an air of superiority.

In fact, from the first day they entered the capital, these Vassal Kings were entitled to meet the Emperor.

But the King of Lingnan had used the excuse of discomfort from the local water and soil and intentionally postponed it to tomorrow.

The Emperor, wary yet wanting to win him over, naturally allowed this little maneuver from the King of Lingnan.

Perhaps feeling that their relationship was "sufficiently good," Lu Xinyue’s attitude became much more casual.

"Actually, I find the life inside the palace too stifling. There are too many royal rules, and being a commoner seems much better."

Lu Xinyue’s words left both of them noncommittal.

Chu Nanli laughed and changed the topic, "Didn’t you ask me the other day what business I’ve been up to lately? I’ve actually collaborated with someone to create a batch of jewelry, how about I show you some today?"

The Noble Ladies in the capital couldn’t resist the allure of jewelry, and Lu Xinyue was no exception.

Upon hearing Chu Nanli’s words, she instantly became interested.

Chu Nanli didn’t keep her in suspense, taking out the sample pieces that Zhuang Lin’s craftsman had made.

She had two sets made, one of pearls and one of mother-of-pearl.

The pearl crown featured a huge pearl the size of a baby’s fist, perfectly round and full pink in color, embedded in the center of the crown, catching one’s eye instantly.

The other pieces of jewelry were made with pearls of the same color series, each plump and glowing with luster.

Compared to the opulence of this set, the other set made from mother-of-pearl appeared much more understated.

But it was still beautiful.

Liao Yu had her special aesthetic; her sketches alone were enough to dazzle, not to mention the finished products.

At least for Lu Xinyue, upon seeing the two sets of jewelry, she began to breathe more rapidly.

"How much silver for these two sets? I’ll take them!"
