Chapter 210: Chapter 210: How do you want to deal with those two people?

In the study, Qi Yu was still bothered by the afternoon’s incident. No matter how she looked at Li Mingjue, he seemed displeasing to her eyes. Her hand slipped, and she knocked the teacup onto him.

The tea, still slightly warm, splashed onto him, but Li Mingjue didn’t get angry. He looked at her, puffing up with anger, and raised an eyebrow, "Is the Princess trying to serve tea to me?"

Qi Yu gave him a sidelong glance and half-heartedly apologized, "Sorry, my hand slipped."

After speaking, she casually tossed a handkerchief to him, her tone perfunctory, "Please wipe it yourself, Prince."

Li Mingjue shook his head helplessly, picked up the handkerchief, and wiped himself down randomly. Taking her hand, he soothed her with a gentle voice, "Alright, I’m not angry anymore."

Qi Yu struggled to pull her hand free, but seeing that she couldn’t escape, she glared at him in frustration and anger, "Let go!"

Not wanting to truly upset her, Li Mingjue loosened his grip and let go of her hand as if it were nothing.

After pulling her hand back, Qi Yu immediately sprang up like a rabbit and ran back to her room without waiting for him, where she lay on the bed and started reading a storybook.

By the time Li Mingjue had taken a bath and changed into clean clothes, she had already fallen asleep messily, the storybook lying limp in her hand, and her whole body swaying as if it could fall at any moment.

Li Mingjue chuckled to himself, picked her up, tucked her into the warm quilt, then blew out the candle, held her, and had a good night’s sleep.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Qi Yu sent Shiqi to the Lin Residence to gather some information.

Shiqi arrived at the Lin Residence, heard noises in Lin Wenxuan’s room, scaled the eaves, leaped down, and found a concealed spot to observe the situation inside.

Inside, Lin Wenxuan’s mother was holding the unconscious Lin Wenxuan, crying her heart out. To those unaware, it seemed as if Lin Wenxuan had passed away.

Unable to bear the noise, Lin’s father scolded, "Why cry? The doctor has already dressed his wounds and fed him medicine; he’ll wake up soon."

Lin’s mother, sobbing and sniffing, wiped her tears and sat beside Lin Wenxuan’s bed, sobbing uncontrollably, "My poor Wenxuan! It is all my fault, I should not have trusted that Divine Doctor so easily; I’ve harmed you!"

She had woken up the night before, and upon hearing from Lin’s father that the Divine Doctor was missing, she immediately realized that the person must be a fraud.

And the reason Lin Wenxuan had fallen unconscious was undoubtedly the doing of that Divine Doctor.

She had cursed Qi Yu all night long and, crying and making a fuss, demanded to report it to the authorities, insisting on capturing the person.

After being scolded by Lin’s father, she finally calmed down.

But early in the morning, she began crying and shouting again.

As long as Lin Wenxuan didn’t wake up, she could keep crying.

Beyond exasperated, Lin’s father, seeing that his words fell on deaf ears, simply stormed out to find a quiet place to stay.

After a while, perhaps disturbed by his mother’s earth-shattering cries, Lin Wenxuan slowly woke up.

Then, under the tearfully joyful gaze of his mother, he weakly spoke a few words, "Mother, don’t cry."

Lin’s mother thought her son was sympathizing with her, completely unaware that she was merely giving him a headache.

Lin Wenxuan tried to sit up, but he gasped in pain the moment his hand touched the bed frame.

His muddled consciousness finally began to clear, and seeing his hand bandaged up like a rice dumpling, his face turned extremely grim.

Watching his injured hand, Lin’s mother was incredibly distressed and began cursing again, "It’s all because of that cursed Divine Doctor; how else would my son have suffered such serious injuries!"

She couldn’t imagine that the injury was actually self-inflicted by Lin Wenxuan.

Lin Wenxuan had no intention of telling her the truth either, silently shifting the blame onto Qi Yu.

He moistened his throat with some warm water brought by a maid before addressing the furious Lin’s mother, "Mother, where is the Divine Doctor?"

As he asked this, his eyes had already darkened.

He remembered how the person had pushed him to lose control step by step the previous night, and he itched with hatred.

As soon as the topic of that person came up, Lin’s mother felt unlucky, furrowing her brows and speaking displeased, "What Divine Doctor? I think she’s just a swindler! After you fainted last night, your father sent someone to search our backyard for her, and guess what? The person was gone!"

"The person was gone?" Lin Wenxuan’s pupils constricted sharply. He had already planned in his heart how to torture that person, and now you’re telling him that she had already run away?

Lin’s mother didn’t know what he was thinking and continued to twist the knife in his heart, "And your father, really, the person had run away and he still wouldn’t let me report it to the authorities. Are we supposed to just swallow this grievance?"

Lin Wenxuan gritted his teeth, his eyes nearly splitting.

The thought of enduring it was impossible; he must find this person and dismember her into a thousand pieces!

He suppressed the hatred in his heart and said gravely, "Mother, let’s report it to the authorities. She couldn’t have gone far in one night. We can spend some money to bribe the officials at the government office to capture her!"

Lin’s mother also thought this plan was feasible and agreed without a second thought.

Together, the two plotted, planning to go to the government office behind Lin Father’s back, and even planned out how to deal with the person once captured.

Shiqi listened silently, his face expressionless as he glanced at the two conspirators in the room.

He really wanted to remind them that their plans would never come true.

But his expressionless face just twitched slightly, and with a schadenfreude mindset, he quickly left the Lin Residence.

"Report to the authorities?" Qi Yu almost spat out her tea when she heard the news, "The Lin Family sure dares to dream."

After Shiqi finished reporting, he silently stepped back to wait for instructions from his Prince and Princess.

Unless absolutely necessary, he would definitely not speak.

Otherwise, the Prince might bury him first.

Li Mingjue, seeing the person laughing uncontrollably, snatched the cup from her hand to prevent the tea from spilling on her later.

Qi Yu rubbed her hands together, her expression very excited, "Let them report it. I want to see how they plan to deal with me!"

Li Mingjue responded, "Alright."

Shen Xiheng, already accustomed to such scenes, was almost numb to them.

These people were truly devils.

Shi Zhou and Gu Jingping exchanged glances, clearly neither of them had yet to fully accept Qi Yu’s erratic line of thinking.

Shi Zhou, having heard from her how she had dealt with the Lin Family, wasn’t very worried about Qi Yu getting harmed.

Gu Jingping really wanted to say something but thought better of it and let it be.

After all, the one who would be unfortunate wouldn’t possibly be the Princess.

With new entertainment in mind, Qi Yu patiently awaited news from the government office.

Sure enough, just past noon, Zhou Hong came back with a pale expression.

He handed over a portrait to Qi Yu, his tone somewhat grave, "Princess, just now the Lin mother and son came to report a crime, claiming that the person in the portrait pretended to be a Divine Doctor, drugged their family of three with sedatives, and then stole ten thousand taels of gold from their home."

Qi Yu glanced at the portrait and casually praised, "It’s quite a likeness, indeed it is this Princess."

Hearing this, Zhou Hong’s expression completely collapsed, and he spoke haltingly, "Princess, they are indeed slandering you."

Qi Yu waved her hand dismissively, "Since it is a slander, why should I fear them?"

Zhou Hong’s gaze turned to Li Mingjue, hoping he would come up with a serious suggestion.

But Li Mingjue did not catch his pleading look and instead asked Qi Yu seriously, "How do you want to deal with those two?"
