Chapter 624: Chapter 624: Arrival of the Imperial Court Representative (5)_1

It seems like the young lady is courting trouble.

But as a mere servant, she did not dare to confront Li Yanran, especially with the Marquis present outside, she had no business in meddling.

Chu Suifeng, hearing Li Yanran’s voice coming from behind, did not turn his head. Lin Ziyin, however, halted her steps in surprise.

"Ignore it." Chu Suifeng uttered calmly, tightening the collar of her cloak a little, then took her hand intending to leave.

Seeing thus, Marquis Li was shocked to the point he was speechless. He knew Chu Suifeng cared about Lin Ziyin, but hadn’t expected the stoic Prince to be this attentive, adjusting Lin Ziyin’s cloak around her shoulders.

Prince Ling’s deep affection for Lin Ziyin had entirely exceeded his imagination.

"Prince, Yanran has deeply loved you since we were children. Yanran does not have many desires, she only wishes to accompany the Prince and care for him in this lifetime." Li Yanran, who came chasing after them, disregarded Marquis Li’s deadly glare, knelt down and pleaded, "Princess Consort, I beg you, let me stay by the Prince’s side. I, Li Yanran swear, in this lifetime, I will not vie with you for anything. Please, I beg you."

Marquis Li anxiously glanced at Lin Ziyin, his heart in great turmoil. Although he knew Li Yanran’s chance of entering Prince Ling’s Residence was slim, deep down he still harbored some hope. He hoped Lin Ziyin was soft-hearted. As long as Lin Ziyin agreed to let Li Yanran into the residence, Chu Suifeng would not truly refuse. Judging by his attitude towards the elderly lady, Prince Ling still had feelings for her.

If Lin Ziyin agreed to let Li Yanran enter Prince Ling’s Residence, it was tantamount to resolving the conflicts and troubles for Chu Suifeng. Surely the Prince would not mind having another woman in his residence.

"If Prince is willing to keep Miss Li, I definitely will not object." Lin Ziyin stated calmly. Li Yanran wanted to pass the buck to her, she needed to see whether she would agree or not. After all, she, Lin Ziyin was not a fool.

"Why are you talking to unrelated people." Chu Suifeng seemed to be reprimanding Lin Ziyin, but his hand only gripped hers tighter.

The two of them continued to walk forward.

"If the Prince and Princess Consort do not agree, I’ll just bash my head to death here." Li Yanran suddenly screamed out with all her might.

Chu Suifeng, holding onto Lin Ziyin, quickly exited the court’s entrance, their steps never faltering.

Such a ruthless heart! Li Yanran’s eyes completely blurred.

"Young lady." Suddenly, several cries of alarm rang out in the courtyard. Marquis Li, who was following behind Chu Suifeng and Lin Ziyin, hadn’t yet managed to distance himself from the courtyard entrance when he heard the cries. He immediately turned his head to look.

He saw Li Yanran in the courtyard, collapsed in a pool of blood, her maids and housekeepers surrounding her, crying out, while Li Yanran herself, her eyes tightly closed, was already unconscious.

"Yanran." Marquis Li cried out in horror.

"My lord?" Although she couldn’t see clearly what had happened to Li Yanran in the courtyard, Lin Ziyin could guess from the commotion that something had happened to her. It must have been as she said earlier: she had crashed into a wall.

Upon this thought, Lin Ziyin’s heart inexplicably sank.

She was the legitimate wife, but why was she made to look like the other woman because of Li Yanran’s fuss? Her feelings on this matter were peculiar.

"I told you earlier, not to concern yourself with unrelated people." Chu Suifeng was very domineering. With all the commotion behind them, he acted as if nothing had happened and continued to guide Lin Ziyin away.

First-class guards followed closely behind.

The large group left without any interference from the commotion inside the courtyard.

"Safe journey, Prince. There’s been a slight incident in my house, I will not see you off for now." Upon seeing Chu Suifeng’s nonchalant departure, Marquis Li felt both anger and pain in his heart. Yet he was helpless. Swallowing his rage, he politely announced his necessity.
