After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

Chapter 274: Taking the blame

"Hmph," Zhou Yuan glanced at her coldly and kicked her, saying, "If I wasn't afraid of being labeled as someone who takes advantage of someone's misfortune in front of my friends, I would have divorced you long ago. You should stay in your room and reflect on your mistakes for the next few days. Don't worry about anything else and leave everything to Li!"

Li pouted a little unwillingly when she heard the first half of the sentence, but she immediately became happy after hearing the second half: "Don't worry, sister, I will definitely take good care of the Duke's Mansion for you."

Although Lin Rouan's so-called power as the head of the family was just an empty title, now that the title fell on her, it would no longer be just in name only.

She touched her abdomen, then hugged Zhou Yuan's arm and said coquettishly, "Prince, let's go back and rest."

"Yeah." Zhou Yuan glanced at Lin Rouan with annoyance, turned around and left without looking back.

Li curled the corners of her lips, gave Lin Rouan a smug smile, and walked away seductively with a charming and alluring figure.

"Madam, please get up quickly. Be careful not to get cold or you might hurt yourself."

After the two left, the nanny hurried forward to help Lin Rouan up from the ground: "You are such a fool, my prince. No matter how angry you are, you can't hand over the power of the wife to that Li. She is already successful because of her pregnancy, and now I'm afraid she will be even more arrogant."

Lin Rouan's hair was disheveled and crooked, and there were scratches on her face. She looked in a disheveled state.

She laughed coldly, and suddenly all the pearls and jade on her head were torn off, and she fell heavily to the ground: "Oh, they are all bitches, every one of them is a bitch, sooner or later I will kill them all, kill them all!"

The nanny hugged her and said, "Madam, you can't say such things carelessly. Be careful that there are ears on the other side of the wall."

"What do I have to be afraid of now?" Lin Rouan's eyes were filled with despair, and she forced a smile that was uglier than crying. "My parents are dead, and the Shangshu Mansion is gone. What hope do I have left? How long can I stay in the position of the first wife of the Duke's Mansion?"

"Once I am divorced, I will die."

She reached out her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, raised her head slightly and regained her former pride, with a hint of viciousness flashing in her eyes: "Rather than dying silently like this, it would be better to drag a few more people down with you before you die."

She brushed away the nanny's support and limped back into the house.

The nanny looked at her thin and desolate back and sighed silently.

……

Ever since Li started to take charge of the household, I don't know if it was Zhou Yuan's instruction, but the charcoal fire in Lin Rouan's room became less and less. It was already a severe winter, and without the charcoal fire, there was no warmth in the house, which caused her to catch a cold and she didn't recover for many days.

"Cough...cough..."

Lin Rouan lay on the couch and coughed up a mouthful of blood. She stared at the blood on the handkerchief and remained silent for a long time.

The maid who came in with the meal was shocked: "Madam, Madam, how come your illness is so serious? I will go and get a doctor for you. Wait for me to come back."

Lin Rouan threw the handkerchief on the ground without a care, lay back flat, and stared at the ceiling of the bed. There was a calm despair in her eyes, as empty and silent as dead water.

She suddenly laughed, and laughed until tears came out.

How ridiculous.

She lived a life of wealth and luxury in the first half of her life.

The rest of his life was spent bedridden due to a cold, lonely and helpless.

The only person who cared about her was the nanny who had served her for less than half a year. I was afraid that when she died, the nanny would be the only one who would be sad for her, right?

But it doesn’t matter, at least someone is thinking about her.

"It's really sad..."

Lin Rouan let out a few mournful cries from her broken-gong-like throat, and the tears in her eyes quietly sank into the quilt.

The sound of the door opening rang in her ears, and Lin Rouan said in a hoarse voice: "You're back so soon."

No one answered her.

She turned her head and did not see the figure of the nanny, but saw Li, who was in high spirits with a big belly, being supported by a maid and standing at the door, looking at her with amusement.

Li asked the maid to wait outside the door and walked in slowly.

Lin Rouan sat up from the couch and looked at her coldly: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to tell you, sister, that the nanny who followed you has been executed by me." Li said in a shrill voice.

Lin Rouan was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"

"Your nanny is simply lawless. She keeps saying that you are dying of illness and even tries to snatch the doctor from me. But I see that you are very healthy now, how can you be a patient? If you don't kill this liar, it will cause troubles in the future," Li smiled softly. "Sister, you are just trying to share your worries. What do you think?"

The house fell into silence. The open door creaked in the cold wind, and the cold air rushed in, completely swallowing up the little warmth that was already there.

Li was wearing a white fox cloak and a hairband with pearls and jade, which were round and smooth.

Lin Rouan, however, was only wearing a single layer of clothing and looked thin and haggard.

Li looked at her arrogantly, with a hint of contempt and coercion in her eyes. After a while, Lin Rouan responded in a low voice: "Sister, you are right. Such a lowly slave really deserves to die. The food is getting cold. Can you help me to the table to eat?"

Li glanced at the bland food on the table and raised the corners of her lips proudly: "Of course it's good."

She can't eat many meals anyway, so just help her and consider it as a blessing for the baby in your belly.

Li walked over, stroking her lower abdomen. She stretched out her hand and just touched Lin Rouan, the corners of Lin Rouan's lips curved up under her loose hair.
