Ling Mohan's gloomy voice came, he strode to Feng Jin's side, held Feng Jin's hand with infatuation, and looked at Feng Jin tenderly: "Were you bullied?"
Chu Chenyi almost doubted his eyesight. When did Ling Mohan become so protective of women?
"If she was bullied, you should first see what Wang Qin looks like before saying that."
Who in the world could bully Feng Jin?
"Your side concubine is arrogant, rude, and unreasonable. My wife is gentle and kind. If such a benevolent person can be angered like this, your side concubine is not a good thing either. I advise you to divorce her as soon as possible."
Ling Mohan was simply lying with his eyes open. When was Feng Jin gentle? Which eye could see that Feng Jin was gentle? He didn't even draft his lies.
Feng Jin was very satisfied with Ling Mohan's behavior at this moment. He was truly teachable and becoming more and more adept.
"I see His Highness Prince Jing is very fond of his side concubine now. Don't get angry and hurt yourself over this matter again. I don't have the money to hire a doctor for you."
Lin Yuwei's words were pointed, and Chu Chenyi immediately lowered his head, not daring to speak.
After marrying into the Prince's mansion, Lin Yuwei realized that this large mansion was just an empty shell, surviving entirely on his salary.
How much money had she spent inside and out to barely maintain her livelihood, and now she still had to use her money to support a concubine? No way.
She had even worried that Wang Qin harbored ill intentions, but now it seemed she was being overly sentimental. Their feelings for each other were still very much alive.
"Mama Zhang, pack up and return to the Marquis's mansion. I can't stay in this Prince Jing's mansion for another moment."
"Consort... This..." Mama Zhang was an old servant of the Old Madam and was specifically assigned to serve Lin Yuwei.
Chu Chenyi panicked when he heard this and blocked Lin Yuwei's path: "You want to return to your maiden home over such a small matter? I have no feelings for that Wang Qin at all. You know how much I dislike her."
"She is your side concubine, and it is only natural for you to have feelings for her. I can't control that."
Lin Yuwei turned her head away and ignored Chu Chenyi.
Feng Jin cracked melon seeds and watched the show with her legs crossed, almost standing up to applaud Lin Yuwei. This was the right way to handle things. Such men shouldn't be indulged.
Give them an inch, and they'll take a mile. She had given him too much face.
"We are not convenient to participate in your domestic affairs. My wife and I will take our leave first."
Ling Mohan did not have Feng Jin's habit of meddling in other people's domestic affairs. He took Feng Jin's hand and walked out.
"Yuwei, don't be deceived by that scoundrel's sweet talk. You must remain firm in your stance. You know that a man's mouth is a lying mouth!"
Feng Jin did not forget to advise Lin Yuwei as she left, completely unfazed by the chaos.
"Hurry up and leave. Someone, see the guests out!"
Chu Chenyi was furious and wished he could throw Feng Jin out.
Ling Mohan was speechless and directly picked Feng Jin up and walked out. If they continued to linger, Feng Jin would cause this couple to divorce.
"Put me down! I haven't finished speaking. Why are you pulling me out?"
Ling Mohan placed Feng Jin safely inside the carriage: "Their marriage was personally decreed by the Empress Dowager. If you break it up, the Empress Dowager will blame you, and you will suffer sooner or later."
Her courage was growing, and she was becoming increasingly fearless.
"If a couple's feelings are not in harmony, they should divorce. Why force themselves to be together? It is always the woman who suffers. I am thinking of Lin Yuwei."
Feng Jin felt she had done nothing wrong. Such arranged marriages were not suitable. Since neither of them had feelings for each other, forcing them to stay together would only bring unhappiness. They should separate sooner for everyone's good.
Ling Mohan knew he was no match for Feng Jin in an argument, so he shut his mouth and chose silence.
He could only silently pray for the couple.
...
"Yuwei, are you really leaving?"
Chu Chenyi stood blocking the doorway, watching Lin Yuwei pack her belongings, feeling a sense of helplessness and defeat.
It was all Feng Jin's fault. Did she have a grudge against him in her past life to keep bothering him?
Lin Yuwei stood in front of Chu Chenyi with her bundle, a look of determination on her face: "Move aside!"
"I won't... Listen to my explanation. I have no feelings for Wang Qin at all. I... I like... you..."
Chu Chenyi uttered the last two words very softly. Lin Yuwei, who was already angry, did not hear him.
"I don't care who you like. Anyway, I'm leaving. You continue to be in love with Wang Qin; it has nothing to do with me."
Lin Yuwei was angry and only wanted to leave Prince Jing's mansion quickly, out of sight, out of mind.
"You are not allowed to leave."
Chu Chenyi's attitude was firm, blocking the door tightly without any compromise.
"That's not up to you."
"What are you guys standing there for? Hurry up and push the Prince away. Don't be an eyesore here!"
The servants exchanged glances, not knowing who to listen to. They could not afford to offend either of them.
"You won't even listen to me now!" Lin Yuwei asked with raised tone when she saw they were not moving.
"Yes, Consort."
Their wages were paid by the Consort. Nothing was more important than the god of wealth. The servants mustered their courage and pushed Chu Chenyi away, along with his wheelchair.
"You have great courage! Don't you want to live anymore!" Chu Chenyi shouted angrily. However, his legs were inconvenient, and the wheelchair was held tightly by the servants. He could only watch helplessly as Lin Yuwei left before his eyes.
"All of you go and receive your punishment. You traitors!"
Chu Chenyi never expected to be betrayed by his own household staff.
"What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and prepare the carriage. This Prince is going to the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion."
"Yes, Your Highness."
...
"Yuwei, why did you come back alone? Where is His Highness Prince Jing?" Madam Lin hurried over when she heard from the servant that Lin Yuwei had returned, but she only saw her daughter alone, and couldn't help but feel curious.
Lin Yuwei stammered: "He was busy with something. I just missed you, so I came back alone."
This marriage had already worried her parents greatly, and she didn't want to bother her mother with these matters.
"If you and His Highness Prince Jing are fine, then your father and I will be at ease."
"Madam, Miss, His Highness Prince Jing is here and is talking with Master in the front hall. Master has asked Miss to go over first."
Madam Lin's expression instantly became solemn upon hearing the maid's words. Why did these two return one after another?
"Let's talk. What exactly happened? Did you quarrel with Prince Jing?"
"No, that's not what happened at all," Lin Yuwei said directly. This Chu Chenyi was truly shameless to have followed her.
...
In the hall, Chu Chenyi was chatting with Marquis Pingyang when he saw a figure in pink hurrying in.
