After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 305: The Passionate Qian Duoduo

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun's expression turned cold, and a hint of chill flashed in his eyes.

"Is Asi satisfied?"

Li Jingyang didn't even look at him, gazing affectionately at Lin Rusi.

Fang Yun's face darkened after being ignored for the second time.

"Not entirely satisfied."

Lin Rusi picked at her fingers: "It should be at least eighty strokes of the cane, ten strokes are a bit too few, aren't they?"

Upon hearing this, everyone froze, from Fang Yun above to Qian Duoduo beside her, and even Tang Jun lying on the ground ready to be beaten.

The three of them looked at Lin Rusi.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't we praise Fang Yun at this point and let the matter rest?

Lin Rusi smiled and waved her hand: "Of course, I was just saying it casually, don't take it to heart."

You've already said it, how can I not care?

Your words represent the Jinglie Prince's Mansion.

Fang Yunzhen hated himself for asking that question, which put him in a difficult position, especially since Lin Rusi was telling him not to worry about it while staring at him with a smile.

After much internal struggle, Fang Yun decisively chose to save herself and gave Tang Jun on the ground ten more lashes.

Hearing the screams from below, he unconsciously frowned.

"Your Highness, twenty strokes of the cane is not too little. Any more and someone could die." Fang Yun's tone was much more polite this time.

Princess Jinglie is quite a troublesome character.

"Oh dear, look at you, ten strokes would have been enough, why did you have to add more? Just kidding, how can you take it seriously?" Lin Rusi blinked innocently.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun almost choked on his breath. Just as he was wondering if this matter should be left unresolved...

The woman he hated so much spoke again: "But a gentleman's word is as good as his bond. You are not a lowly woman like me. Since you have already said it, I can only do as you say. It's just a pity for this man, who has suffered so much for no reason."

Whether it was her imagination or not, Lin Rusi felt like she heard a grinding sound.

I don't know whose back molar broke it.

Lin Rusi insisted on dragging Li Jingyang along and watching him finish the twenty strokes of the cane before leaving the government office. Before leaving, she gave Fang Yun a meaningful look and said, "Lord Fang."

"What are your orders, Your Highness?" Fang Yun was furious and it took a lot of effort to suppress her anger.

"Does Lord Fang know how the previous prefect here died?"

Lin Rusi smiled sweetly, but her eyes were icy cold: "Lord Fang, please take care of yourself and learn from this."

She spoke the last few words slowly and deliberately, making Fang Yun's spine tingle.

After saying that, she didn't even glance at Fang Yun before turning and leaving.

Watching Lin Rusi's decisive departure, Fang Yun slumped into his chair, drenched in sweat.

This Princess Jinglie has driven him to a dead end from the very beginning; she's incredibly shrewd!

From the moment that person started getting beaten, Qian Duoduo's gaze fell on Lin Rusi.

He followed Lin Rusi and her companion out after they finished beating each other.

"Two people, two people."

Qian Duoduo jogged up to catch up: "You two have been a great help to me. If you don't mind, please come with me to my residence for a visit."

"It's not necessary."

Li Jingyang has always been highly vigilant about the men who appear around Lin Rusi.

The princess's personality is so endearing, regardless of gender.

First there was Ye Ruoruo and Su Xiangqing, then Li Xiaokui and Qian Duoduo—each one of them was an obstacle to his time alone with the princess, which was simply intolerable.

"Please, gentlemen, don't refuse."

Qian Duoduo relentlessly caught up: "If it weren't for the two of you here, I would have been in a real predicament today. I can't rest easy without repaying you in some way."

Qian Duoduo looked pleading and pitiful, as if to say that if they didn't go, he would keep pestering them until he repaid their kindness by giving them a place.

Li Jingyang had a headache and said in a low voice, "Go, go, go."

Going there would only be a meal, but not going would cause a lot of trouble.

Qian Duoduo's residence here was not far from the government office, and the three of them did not take a carriage, but walked all the way there.

As they walked, Qian Duoduo introduced the two of them:

"This is my family's shop."

"This is also my family's property."

"Look at this clothing store, it's my family's."

"Huh? That grain shop is also mine."

"What's that clattering about up there? Oh my, my new bank is opening, such a big event, and I completely forgot about it."

"Never mind, having dinner with these two distinguished guests is the most important thing. It's just the opening of a money exchange, a small matter. I'll go when the next one opens."

This person will keep muttering to himself as he goes.

He spoke with an air of nonchalance, while Lin Rusi and the other person walked alongside, listening, their faces turning green with rage.

What's going on? You're just walking around and you're showing off, aren't you?

What happened to repaying them?

Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?

Seeing that Qian Duoduo was still rambling on and about to continue, Lin Rusi's face darkened: "With such a large family business, there must have been some important figures in the past. I'll investigate later and see if I can find an excuse to confiscate a couple of shops or something."

Qian Duoduo, who was about to introduce her family's newly opened restaurant, froze: "We're here, please come in."

The two then realized that they had been watching Qian Duoduo flaunt his wealth the whole way and hadn't even noticed when they had arrived at the residential area.

Right by the roadside was a vermilion gate, two imposing stone lions, and a courtyard wall with glazed tiles, which looked much more grand than the prefect's government office.

Lin Rusi immediately clicked her tongue in amazement: "You're being too unassuming. If I were Fang Yun, I would also investigate your mistakes."

Qian Duoduo chuckled and ushered the two into the mansion. With a single command, he led them straight to the backyard.

The courtyard looked even more magnificent than the outside. A golden eagle perched on the artistic rockery and flowing water, several golden lotus pods bloomed in the crystal-clear pond, and a golden water jug ​​was casually placed next to the flowerbed of national beauty...

Lin Rusi was dazzled for a while before looking at Qian Duoduo with admiration: "How do you manage to be both refreshingly unconventional and unbearably vulgar?"

Putting everything else aside, there's such a huge golden eagle on the artificial hill!

Yes, with Lin Rusi's keen eye, she can be sure that it is a real golden eagle. Isn't she afraid that someone will take it away?

Qian Duoduo scratched her head, somewhat puzzled: "Doesn't it look good?"

Lin Rusi: "..." Is this a question of whether it looks good or not?

Lin Rusi and Li Jingyang sat together in Qian Duoduo's back garden, admiring the beautiful scenery while being dazzled by the various golden lights.

Fortunately, the food that Qian Duoduo had ordered started appearing one after another after a short while.
