Chapter 369: Chapter 369: King Ling Takes Action (2)_1

The most pressing matter was to marry Li Yanran into the Wang Residence. With the added affection between relatives, Chu Suifeng would not mistreat Li Yanran, the granddaughter of the old lady, out of respect for her.

Even though Marquis Li spoke such pleasing words, since deep down he still felt uneasy. The emergence of Lin Ziyin clouded his judgment about whether it was good or bad.

"How long will my cousin remember that witch once she’s gone?" Li Yanran upgraded Lin Ziyin from a cheap girl to a witch, discussing her murder without even blinking.

Marquis Li was very satisfied with his daughter’s stern attitude. If Li Yanran became the lady of the Ling Wang Residence in the future, she would need this kind of toughness. But concerning Li Yanran’s wisdom, Marquis Li felt a bit of a headache, "What type of person is the Prince? If anyone dared to hurt someone he cares about, Chu Suifeng would never show mercy."

Thinking of Chu Suifeng’s ferocity towards his enemies, Li Yanran couldn’t help but shiver. Indeed, the Ling Prince’s ruthlessness towards his enemies was unparalleled. He could apply all sorts of cruel punishments available.

"Don’t think that just because you’re his cousin, he would show you mercy," said Marquis Li, smashing all the little hope left in Li Yanran. With tears brimming in her glistening eyes, she felt unbearable heartache asking, "So, should I just give up? What should I do?"

"With your grandma around, the Prince won’t go too far with the Li Residence. Men naturally like gentle and caring women. Don’t let your jealousy cast other women in a bad light. If the Prince sees women in his backyard bickering with jealousy after finishing his busy daily tasks, would he like such a petty woman? Besides, you are the Prince’s cousin; you are our Li Family’s legitimate daughter. Your status is naturally different from theirs; the rightful wife is the master, and the rest are merely concubines. Even if Lin Ziyin enters the Wang Residence later, as long as you are the main consort, are you afraid that you can’t hold down a mere concubine?" laughed Marquis Li coldly, "The Prince currently needs Lin Ziyin’s experience in farming. Once the people in the Prince’s estate learn her skills, what can a mere farmer’s daughter hold on to make the Prince love her?"

"What should I do now?" Li Yanran asked in confusion.

"One word, endure." Mu’s Wife walked in from outside, "Proper wives don’t bicker with inferior concubines. Haven’t you noticed your dad’s many women in the backyard and how few he actually cares for?"

Upon hearing this, Marquis Li’s face turned red. His wife had suddenly turned the spearhead towards him. He coughed, giving Li Yanran a serious look, "Everyone in Feng City is on edge. You should stay in the mansion for now. Everything will calm down by next spring at the latest."

"Your dad’s right," said Mu’s Wife, comfortingly holding her hand. "The rapport between you and the Prince can’t be compared to other women. The Prince is not one to be infatuated with women. Haven’t you seen how many women are in the Prince’s backyard and how few actually receive his affection?"

"They are all a bunch of vixens," muttered Li Yanran jealously, thinking about the women in the Wang Residence.

"You’re still a child. How can you say such things? Harsh words like ’vixen,’ you dare to say out loud. If someone heard you, they’d definitely say you lack manners," said Mu’s Wife, looking at her with extreme disappointment.

"Your mother is right. You need to learn these etiquettes well," Marquis Li seriously warned.

Li Yanran was left with no choice but to suppress her resentment under the persuasion of her parents.

"My Lord," said Yu’s Wife, lastly, who had finally been able to get a maid to locate Li Jiesong from her sister’s room. She was undeniably frustrated, but had nowhere to vent. Her husband was such a lascivious figure. Despite the lockdown in the residence, he had even managed to get courtesans from the Flower Building into the residence.
