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

Chapter 245: Domestic Violence

What do you mean by being afraid of one's wife? That's a joke, but even so, Lin Ruqin still felt uneasy.

Why is it that Lin Rusi can marry the high and mighty Prince Jinglie, while I can only marry this kind of person?

Lin Ruqin's face was somewhat unpleasant. She clenched her fists tightly, and her eyes were filled with hatred.

It's all because of Lin Rusi. If it weren't for her, Prince Jinglie would have been his too. Why would she have married someone like Li Zeyan?

Thinking of this, Lin Ruqin felt particularly resentful.

She took a few heavy breaths, and in an instant, she suddenly remembered what Lin Rusi had said to her when they last met.

Didn't she say she would save herself?

That means Lin Rusi must have known that she was frequently beaten in the Prince's mansion.

Since she already knows what she has been through in the Third Prince's residence, she shouldn't let herself suffer these pains.

But Lin Rusi still turned a blind eye, which was utterly despicable!

Just as Lin Ruqin was standing in the courtyard in a daze, Li Zeyan happened to return and walked over from the other side of the path.

Seeing her standing there in a daze, he crossed his arms and began to scrutinize her. "My queen, what are you thinking about now?"

Li Zeyan's words carried a hint of sarcasm, and his tone was light and casual, suggesting he was in a good mood.

The sound of that voice instantly froze Lin Ruqin's smile on her face. She hadn't expected Li Zeyan to suddenly appear.

Her body trembled suddenly. She turned her head and waved her hand, saying, "Your Highness, why are you back so early today?"

A bright smile spread across her face, but Li Zeyan wasn't buying it at all. He curled his lips and spoke with utter disdain.

"It seems the Princess Consort is not keen to see me today. In that case, I shall take a good look at who is on the Princess Consort's mind."

In an instant, Lin Ruqin's expression froze on her face.

Li Zeyan scoffed coldly and suddenly made a move, gripping Lin Ruqin's chin tightly.

The force was so great that Lin Ruqin cried out in pain.

"Your Highness, I have heard that my younger sister had a falling out with Prince Jinglie these past two days. She even drove him out of the manor. My sister is young and doesn't understand things. I'm worried that she might have angered Your Highness, so I'd like to go and see her..."

Lin Ruqin kept her head down, her eyes filled with guilt; naturally, she dared not tell the truth.

Even with her head down, Lin Ruqin could feel Li Zeyan's cold gaze fixed on her head, carrying a hint of scrutiny and barely perceptible annoyance.

However, the next moment, Li Zeyan gently reached out and held Lin Ruqin's hand in his warm palm.

He turned and led her toward the room, saying, "So the princess wanted to go out. Why didn't you just tell me about this little thing?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruqin trembled violently, her face turning even paler.

But where Lin Ruqin couldn't see, Li Zeyan's eyes were gloomy, as if covered with a layer of frost, staring fiercely at Lin Ruqin's head, his eyes full of jealousy.

Even if he doesn't like Lin Ruqin, he wouldn't allow his princess to have feelings for another man.

Don't think he doesn't know that Lin Ruqin clearly likes Li Jingyang.

His royal uncle was very popular, even his own princess was not spared. Li Zeyan grabbed Lin Ruqin's hand fiercely.

In an instant, Lin Ruqin, whose eyes were lowered, suddenly realized something, and her face turned pale.

Others may not know, but she knows it perfectly well.

Li Zeyan's reaction clearly showed that he was angry. He pulled her back to the room not for any other reason than that he didn't want to hit her in front of outsiders.

Perhaps the maids and servants in the manor thought he was a gentle and refined prince, and that he was exceptionally kind to them.

But his inherently violent nature could not be hidden no matter what!

Sure enough, just as they reached the vicinity of the bedroom, the man exerted a little force and threw her onto the bedside.

Lin Ruqin's back slammed hard against the edge of the bed behind her, the pain bringing tears to her eyes.

But the man in front of her still didn't intend to let her go so easily. He used force to press her down violently, showing no concern for whether he would hurt Lin Ruqin!

Lin Ruqin trembled violently. Every time Li Zeyan hit her like this, he would never touch her face.

Because he didn't want anyone to see, but his body was always covered in wounds. Lin Ruqin used to care the most about her skin, and sometimes she would take good care of it with fresh flowers.

But if someone were to lift up her clothes now, they would find that beneath her glamorous attire lies a body full of scars.

After venting his anger, Li Zeyan calmly got up, carefully wiped the dirt off his body, dressed properly, and then grabbed Lin Ruqin's long hair.

His brows furrowed, and he spoke fiercely, "You'd better behave yourself. Now that you're my queen, you shouldn't be thinking about other people!"

Li Zeyan's words were particularly harsh, and at this moment, Lin Ruqin lay on the bed, the excruciating pain constantly reminding her that she must get away from this devil as soon as possible.

The gap between reality and expectations left Lin Ruqin feeling particularly uneasy.

At the same time, she became even more determined to get her revenge on Lin Rusi.

Thinking of this, she didn't care whether Li Zeyan was still watching her from behind. She just lay quietly on the bed with tears in her eyes.

Li Zeyan left quickly, and the room returned to silence. After the man left, Lin Ruqin silently wiped away her tears, got up, and dressed.

She endured the pain and slowly left the room. Without telling anyone, she made her way out through the back door and headed towards the Jinglie Prince's Mansion with unusually firm steps.

No matter what, she had to escape this place. With all her injuries, Lin Ruqin arrived at the Jinglie Prince's Mansion.

……

When she arrived, Lin Rusi was sitting in the backyard drinking tea, clearly not expecting her to come.

Lin Rusi couldn't hide her surprise in her eyes, but after looking her over, she immediately put on a knowing expression.

"Wanxia, ​​go to the room and get my plaster, and also prepare some tea."

After speaking, Wanxia and Wanqi withdrew. Lin Rusi stared at Lin Ruqin silently for a while, then sighed before saying, "Let's talk in my room."

Even without Lin Ruqin saying anything, she knew what had happened, but she hadn't expected that he would still be so violent.

Lin Ruqin nodded immediately, and the two walked one after the other toward Lin Rusi's room and closed the door.

She subconsciously looked around at her surroundings. Her room had a calming scent of incense, which smelled very pleasant.

Everywhere there were decorations that girls liked, and without exception, they must have been prepared by His Highness Prince Jinglie for Lin Rusi.

Lin Rusi understood, and didn't even let Wanqi and Wanxia stay, but just looked at the pale-faced woman in front of her.
