Feng Jin did her best to explain for Ling Mo Han, but a seed of doubt was planted in her heart.
Finding an opportunity, she would also ask Ling Mo Han what he went to inquire about today. Could it be, as Lin Yu Wei said, that he went to be a gossip monger…
"Sister Feng Jin, this must have been said by Ling Mo Han, otherwise… otherwise how would Chu Chen Yi know these things…"
She was confused at first, but she had been thinking about it on the way back. The more she thought about it, the more this was the only logical explanation.
Feng Jin frowned slightly, a seed of doubt sprouting in her heart. However, she still insisted on believing in Ling Mo Han's character, absolutely certain he would not do such a despicable thing.
She repeatedly told herself not to doubt Ling Mo Han, that he would absolutely not do such a thing.
"Don't overthink it. Perhaps Chu Chen Yi just happened to know. Don't be angry with him anymore. If he comes to pick you up later and sincerely apologizes, accept it and go back with him. Staying here with me like this is not a solution. If things escalate and reach the palace or Pingyang Hou Mansion, you'll be lectured again. It's really not worth it."
Feng Jin persuaded her kindly, wanting to quickly urge Lin Yu Wei to return to the right path and go back with Chu Chen Yi as soon as possible.
"That depends on when he comes to pick me up and how sincere his apology is."
Who told Chu Chen Yi to go too far this time, saying such harsh words to her, completely disregarding her.
This time, she had to take the opportunity to make Chu Chen Yi truly apologize, otherwise, she would absolutely not go back with Chu Chen Yi.
Having made up her mind, Lin Yu Wei repeatedly told herself not to be soft-hearted when Chu Chen Yi arrived later. She had to reprimand Chu Chen Yi properly.
"Chu Qing, go and tidy up the room and have the Jing Wangfei stay first."
Feng Jin planned to send Lin Yu Wei away first, then send word to Chu Chen Yi, asking him to come and pick her up and be done with it.
"Yes, Young Madam."
Chu Qing bowed slightly in response, then looked at Lin Yu Wei: "Wangfei, please follow me this way."
"Then I'll go first, Sister Feng Jin."
Lin Yu Wei stood up and said, her spirit completely drained, as she followed Chu Qing out.
As soon as they left, Feng Jin hurried to send someone to invite Chu Chen Yi to pick her up.
She didn't want to have the same experience as last time, letting these two continue to linger at her place.
She had to find a way to get Chu Chen Yi to pick her up quickly. If it dragged on, other troubles might arise.
Feng Jin waited in the mansion for nearly an hour, but Chu Chen Yi never showed up. The servant sent to invite him had already returned, but the invited person still hadn't arrived.
As time passed, she became anxious.
Feng Jin paced back and forth in her room, sighing occasionally. She eagerly looked out at the slightest sound, hoping to see if Chu Chen Yi had arrived.
With all this waiting, she felt like she was becoming overly sensitive.
"Young Madam, shall I go and invite him again?"
Chu Qing said hastily, seeing Feng Jin's anxious expression.
"No need. I want to see if Chu Chen Yi still knows how to come. If he doesn't come today, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Her patience was limited. Anyone would find it unbearable to continue like this. If Chu Chen Yi didn't appear, she would have to consider whether to continue instigating Lin Yu Wei and him to quarrel, so that Chu Chen Yi would learn a lesson and see if he dared to provoke Lin Yu Wei again in the future.
Just as Feng Jin was contemplating what else to say to Lin Yu Wei, the servant hurried back to report.
"Young Madam, the Jing Wang has arrived and is waiting in the front hall, and… and also…"
"And what?"
Feng Jin asked curiously. What other tricks could Chu Chen Yi come up with?
"The Jing Wang has brought some guards, about twenty or thirty of them."
Hearing the servant's report, Feng Jin immediately stood up from her chair.
"Go and gather all the Black Armored Army in the mansion and send them to the front hall."
Feng Jin commanded angrily. Today, she wanted to see what Chu Chen Yi intended to do by bringing guards.
"Yes, Young Madam."
…
Chu Chen Yi was sitting in the front hall, taking a sip of tea. In an instant, the front hall and its surroundings were surrounded by the Black Armored Army.
He forgot to swallow the tea he was drinking and coughed violently, choking.
Then Feng Jin moved through the crowd and approached, her gaze falling on Chu Chen Yi, appraising him from head to toe.
"Jing Wang, what a grand display. To visit my Ling Mansion, you need to bring so many people. One would think Jing Wang is here for revenge."
Feng Jin's tone was icy, and her gaze towards Chu Chen Yi was full of coldness.
She stepped forward and sat down opposite Chu Chen Yi. Their eyes met, and Chu Chen Yi was the first to falter.
He coughed lightly, his gaze looking somewhat guilty as he turned to Feng Jin: "This King… this King has come only to take my consort back. There is absolutely no other intention."
Fearing that Feng Jin would misunderstand, Chu Chen Yi quickly explained.
Feng Jin's eyes flickered slightly, and her gaze towards Ling Mo Han was full of suspicion. Why did she feel that this statement was not very credible?
"Is that so?"
"Naturally!"
Chu Chen Yi said decisively, then asked, "Lin Yu Wei, you sent me a message, didn't you just want me to take her back? Hurry up and bring her out."
The reason he brought some people was because he was worried Lin Yu Wei would not go back with him. He had already planned that if Lin Yu Wei refused to go back, he would simply tie her up and take her away.
"Chu Qing, go and invite the Jing Wangfei. Tell her that the Jing Wang has personally come to pick her up."
"Your servant obeys." Chu Qing responded and immediately walked away.
"You tell Lin Yu Wei that I'm here to pick her up. If she knows, will she even come out!"
Lin Yu Wei was still angry with him. Would she come out if she knew he was here?
"That is not my concern. Whether you can coax her back is your concern, Jing Wang."
Feng Jin leaned back casually in her chair, her tone indifferent. She had already informed Chu Chen Yi that the person was here. As for whether Lin Yu Wei wanted to go back, it was not something she could decide.
"You…" Chu Chen Yi suppressed his anger and began to resign himself: "Then if she doesn't want to go back, she can only continue to live here, and this King will have to disturb you more often."
"That can also be arranged, as long as Jing Wang pays for the food and accommodation expenses."
