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

Chapter 189 He has the toughest mouth in his body

Lin Cheng felt distressed when he saw this. Among his children, Lin Xueyue was undoubtedly the most sensible one. She was always obedient no matter what he said or did.

She is just too timid, but this is not necessarily her disadvantage.

Besides, the only purpose of him bringing Lin Xueyue into the mansion was to use her to win over the prince, so how could he let her bear a stigma?

Lin Rouan alone has been tarnished with this stigma, and he cannot afford to tarnish the reputation of a second person.

Lin Cheng gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Don't embarrass your fourth sister. You can go to housekeeper Liu to get the two hundred and twenty taels."

"Master!" Wang said in surprise, but seeing Lin Cheng's serious expression, she knew he was not joking.

Her Rouer didn't even get to enjoy the two hundred taels, and actually gave it to this little bitch to pay off her debt!

Wang was filled with resentment and left without looking back, just throwing away her sleeves.

"Women's opinions!" Lin Cheng spat, and then turned to look at Lin Shuning: "When you were away today, Master Jiang's granddaughter sent you an invitation to attend a banquet. I accepted it for you. You should bring Yue'er with you to the banquet to broaden her horizons."

"What if I say I don't want to?" Lin Shuning smiled sarcastically.

Lin Cheng's face suddenly turned dark.

"Don't worry, I'll take her there," Lin Shuning smiled as if teasing him on purpose, "For the sake of these two hundred and twenty taels."

How could she not help him realize his wish?

Lin Cheng repeatedly asked her to "take care of" Lin Xueyue more, which clearly meant that he wanted to pave the way for her to marry Prince Chen instead of himself. If that was the case, she would lend him a helping hand.

After all, this can only bring her benefits and no harm.

Thinking of Prince Chen, Lin Shuning couldn't help but think of the purse containing forty taels of silver and frowned.

Forget it, there's no point thinking about it now. She was disguised as a man at the time, and the Prince of Chen should not have recognized her.

As soon as Lin Cheng and Lin Xueyue left, Lin Shuning ordered Lian'er to get the silver back from Butler Liu.

It was not until dinner time that she finally saw Xiao Bai in the yard. Seeing that he wanted to rub against her legs, Lin Shuning picked him up and said, "Where have you been today? Why didn't you stay at home to look after the house? Did you know that your house has been robbed? This is the second time. If it happens again, I will deduct your money!"

Lin Shuning waved his fist threateningly.

Xiaobai snorted nonchalantly. It was just Lin Xueyue, who was no match for Aning at all.

He yawned loudly, clearly ignoring her words.

Lin Shuning didn't care. She had no intention of really teaching Xiaobai a lesson, and she didn't take Lin Xueyue seriously at all. What happened just now made her feel that today was not so boring.

……

The next morning, the sky darkened again. Plum blossom-like snowflakes kept falling from the dim sky. Soon a layer of snow accumulated on the ground. The wind was so cold that even those who stayed in the house could hear the howling wind outside.

Lian'er specially prepared fleece boots for Lin Shuning to keep him warm. After putting on a thick coat and a cloak, he didn't feel cold when walking outside, but it was quite clumsy for him to walk.

But today was a banquet, not a beauty pageant, so Lin Shuning didn't take it to heart at all.

But some people don't think so.

Lin Xueyue stood shivering beside the carriage, her little face pale from the cold.

She had her hair combed into a bun with flowers, a cloud-shaped pearl curly hairpin slanted on her head, a moon-blue cloud-goose-patterned wide-sleeved silk dress, a pair of hibiscus soft-soled shoes on her feet, and a blue and white porcelain hand warmer in her hand.

The only thing on his body to protect him from the cold was the light green cloak draped over his shoulders.

"Aren't you cold dressed like this?" Lin Shuning couldn't help but shiver for her just by looking at her. The wind and snow blew up through the shawl and into her neck, making her even colder.

Lin Xueyue sniffed: "It's not cold."

It would be strange if it wasn’t cold.

Lin Shuning was speechless. She was really frozen like a ghost for beauty: "Okay, stop standing here like an idiot. Get in the car quickly."

Lin Xueyue hurriedly got in, almost sticking to the incense burner in the carriage.

Lin Shuning's lips curled up: "You still say it's not cold, I think you're almost frozen to death, your mouth is the hardest part of your body."

Lin Xueyue smiled nonchalantly: "Third sister, this is my first time attending a banquet. I'm afraid that if I dress ugly, people will laugh at me and embarrass you."

Lin Shuning clicked his tongue in his heart. Look at this level. Lin Rouan cannot be compared to her at all. Even though she is so weird, Lin Xueyue can remain indifferent and doesn't show any displeasure at all. Her emotions are so stable. She really put in a lot of effort.

There was no conversation along the way, and they soon arrived at Tutor Jiang's residence.

Lin Shuning got down from the footstool, looked at the vermilion door and yawned.

This kind of banquet is actually just a simple gathering to have a meal, with talented men and women reciting poems and composing essays. If it wasn't for helping Lin Xueyue to marry Prince Chen smoothly, she wouldn't bother to come to such a place.

"Miss Lin San, you are finally here. My lady has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in!" The servant who greeted guests at the door came forward enthusiastically and led the way for Lin Shuning.

When she saw Lin Xueyue standing beside her, she asked in confusion, "Who is this?"

"This is my fourth sister. She had been kept in the farm because of her poor health. I only recently brought her back. Today I brought her here for a walk." Lin Shuning said with a smile.

The servant was startled, then reacted: "So that's how it is. Ladies, please follow me."

Lin Shuning nodded and walked ahead.

Lin Xueyue followed her nervously, looking around all the time with a very curious look.

When they arrived at the inner courtyard, a maid helped them untie their cloaks and led them into the house.

What comes into view is a large hall with seats on both sides.

Many beautifully dressed ladies gathered together, discussing their daughters' private affairs.

Hearing someone coming in, the girls all looked in the direction of the voice out of curiosity. The moment they saw the person coming, a young girl quickly walked out of the crowd and said excitedly: "Miss Lin San, you are finally willing to accept my invitation. You don't know how much I want to see you. You rejected all the invitations I sent before. If you don't come again, I really have no other choice!"

Lin Shuning smiled politely: "There were too many invitations submitted before, so I asked the maid to reject them all for me. I hope Miss Jiang will not blame me."

"How could I blame you?" Jiang Jiachun's eyes were full of admiration for her. "I'm so happy that you can come."

"Hey, who is this?" Someone noticed the thinly dressed woman beside Lin Shuning and asked curiously, "Why does she look so unfamiliar? And why is she wearing so little in such a cold weather today?"

Lin Xueyue's face froze and she subconsciously hid behind Lin Shuning.
