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

Chapter 213: Curing the Illness

Seeing Li Chun like this, the servants brought by Li's father went over to grab her, but the more they grabbed her, the more rebellious she became.

She ran around erratically, falling down and getting up to keep running until she hid behind a pillar, far away from Lin Rusi.

Seeing the hall in complete chaos, Lin Rusi frowned and asked, "What should we do?"

After all, it was her residence. If something really happened, not only would her parents not forgive her, but she would also have no way to explain herself.

"Go and comfort her," Ye Ruoruo said, frowning.

How do we appease them?

Looking at her erratic behavior, Lin Rusi was at a loss for what to do. It was the first time she had done something like this, so she asked.

Ye Ruoruo held her hand and whispered, "Say some nice things to her first, so she won't be resistant to you and will trust you, and then we'll talk."

Lin Rusi looked around. Li Chun's current state made her feel that if she went over, the two of them would start fighting.

Lin Rusi spoke softly, trying to soothe her emotions little by little, "Li Chun, I am Lin Rusi. Don't be afraid, listen to me." She slowly walked over, "You didn't participate in what they did, so don't be afraid, and I won't do anything to you."

The surroundings were chaotic, and her hair was covered in dust, making her look somewhat disheveled, but she was completely unaware of it.

Li Chun looked incredulous, shaking her head so the hairpin in her hair swayed back and forth. "No, you're lying to me! You just wanted to trick me into going there, and then you said these things to fool me, right?!"

Lin Rusi gently shook her head, sighed, and said, "What I said is true. Although we don't get along usually, you haven't done anything to me, right? So I won't hurt you."

Li Chun paused, seemingly lost in memories, wondering if she had ever done those things to Lin Rusi before.

After a long silence, when even the air seemed to quiet down, she bit her lip and slowly asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Lin Rusi nodded and said, "Of course it's true."

Upon hearing this, Li Chun suddenly sat down on the ground, staring blankly at her.

The air froze instantly.

Li Chun stared straight at her, repeating over and over, "Lin Rusi, I didn't do those things, I didn't do them."

Lin Rusi had already walked to her side. She squatted down, looked at Li Chun, and said, "Yes, I know you didn't do it, so don't be afraid, okay?"

Her voice was like a gentle stream, without a trace of hostility.

"Lin Rusi".

Li Chun finally calmed down and called out to her.

Lin Rusi breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes softening; she had finally stopped making a fuss.

I never imagined it would be so hard to coax someone.

If she had known, she would never have agreed to Ye Ruoruo's request.

Li Chun clutched her sleeve, tears streaming down her face, "Lin Rusi, I was wrong."

Her heartfelt plea for forgiveness surprised Lin Rusi.

Since they met, Li Chun had always been arrogant. Lin Rusi was used to their hostile relationship, so the sudden change in attitude made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Lin Rusi remained silent, Li Chun felt a little flustered; she truly knew she had made a mistake.

After witnessing the tragic fate of Princess Lin'an and the others, she finally came to her senses.

Dealing with Lin Rusi would be suicide; she didn't want to live such a life of constant fear.

Lin Rusi lowered her eyes, looking at her clutching her sleeve, and said calmly, "I won't offend others unless they offend me. I won't do anything to you unless you've done something to me."

Li's mother watched from the side, her hands covered in a thin layer of sweat.

Seeing that Li Chunping had calmed down, she suddenly remembered the rumors she had heard in the capital a few days ago.

Those three young ladies all met tragic ends; their future marriage prospects are likely to be bleak.

Looking at Chun'er now, I feel a chill of fear. Who knows what will happen next? Fortunately, Chun'er didn't plan with them, otherwise I really don't know how we would have ended up.

She also heard that the youngest daughter of the Luo family was expelled from the mansion and sent to a nunnery, where she would have to spend the rest of her life in solitude, and her innocence would be gone.

Those two aren't having an easy time either. The whole city knows they have a serious illness, so how easy will it be for them to get married in the future?

She looked at Chun'er again and touched her heart.

Li's mother pulled Li Chun down to kneel, and said sincerely, "Miss Lin, Chun'er knows she was wrong. Please forgive her. My Chun'er will never dare to go against Miss Lin again."

Li's mother made Li Chun kowtow several times.

Lin Rusi looked at them calmly.

In fact, she did all this for Ye Ruoruo. Ye Ruoruo saved Li Jingyang in her previous life, so she was naturally very grateful. Besides, Ye Ruoruo was a doctor and a good person.

She considered her intervention to help Li Chun as a way of repaying Ye Ruoruo's kindness to Li Jingyang in her previous life.

Thinking this, she glanced at Ye Ruoruo several times, and the burden in her heart seemed to be lifted up considerably.

Lin Rusi lowered her eyes, no longer looking at the two people crying in front of her, and said calmly without any emotion: "Since you're all better, then see them out."

After she finished speaking, Li's mother and father looked at each other in dismay. Neither of them had expected Lin Rusi to be so disrespectful to them.

Especially Mr. Li, he was very grateful to her for curing his daughter, but that didn't mean she could be so rude!

But that's just Lin Rusi. In her past life, she might have tried to keep her, but in this life, she just wants to live her own life well. She will do her best to repay those who have been kind to her and those around her, but she doesn't want to get involved with anyone else. As long as they behave themselves, she won't interfere.

Lin Rusi ignored what they were saying and simply had the butler escort them out.

Ye Ruoruo stood to the side, her face full of displeasure, "Why are you like this?"

Lin Rusi raised an eyebrow and smiled, "What's wrong with me?"

“Even if you don’t consider Li Chun, you should at least consider Lord Li and Madam Li, after all, they are elders.”

Lin Rusi snorted and sneered, "So what? What does it have to do with me?"

These people have absolutely no connection to her. Who cares who they are? As long as they have nothing to do with her, we'll proceed as normal.

I don't approve of you doing this.

Lin Rusi shrugged, unconcerned: "I have my own way of doing things. They have nothing to do with me, so the matter is over. Li Chun is fine now, shouldn't I see them out?"

Ye Ruoruo frowned and said earnestly, "Since you say so, then I can't say anything. Everyone has their own opinion on things. Anyway, I think what you did is not good."

She sighed again and added, "But it's your decision, so there's no need to see me off. Now that things are settled, I can leave."

Lin Rusi wanted to keep her there. She felt grateful for what Ye Ruoruo had done for Li Jingyang in her past life, so she asked, "Aren't you going to stay a while?"

"No need."
