My Highness Hears My Thoughts, And Still Plays Along Chapter 262 - 257: I Can’t Wait Another Moment!

Lin Yanran’s face was already not looking too good, and upon hearing these words, her expression worsened.

Mrs. Qin also noticed sothing was amiss, slightly frowned, and asked with so concern, "Yanran, what’s going on? Has sothing happened?"

Lin Yanran bit her lip tightly, without saying a word.

Soaking in the petal water for a whole hour, changing the water three tis midway, her mood finally eased a bit, feeling like she was once again the unrivaled noble Crown Princess Consort!

But Mrs. Qin’s words instantly brought her back to Prince Qin Mansion, recalling those humiliating experiences.

Their mocking, their endless taunts, his cold disregard and disdain, and that hateful beast! It embarrassed her in public! Even ruined the hairpin the Crown Prince gave her!

Overwheld by anger and sadness, tears fell unknowingly.

Mrs. Qin got nervous upon seeing this, "Yan’er, what’s going on? Why are you crying? Who bullied you, tell ! I’ll teach them a lesson!"

Lin Yanran burst into tears, crying her heart out on Mrs. Qin’s shoulder.

"Mother... boo hoo... they bullied ! They all bullied ! That little bitch Lin Wanyue... she even cursed I would break a leg, and threatened to kill ! Boo hoo hoo..."

"What?!" Mrs. Qin was furious upon hearing this, and said angrily, "Does she have the guts of a bear and leopard? How dare she say that to you? Yanran, you wait, I’ll go find her now!"

Lin Yanran clung to her tightly, "Mother, don’t go, that jinx Lin Wanyue has Nangong Mo backing her up, she’s very arrogant, she’ll bully you if you go!"

"Am I supposed to be afraid of her? Yanran, let go, I won’t let her get away with bullying you like this!"

"Mother, not only her, even Nangong Mo is bullying ! He even set a tiger on ... boo hoo hoo... how could he be so cold-blooded and heartless..."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qin was almost shocked speechless! She was so startled her tongue even stuttered.

"You, you, you said he set a tiger on you?! A tiger?! Did it bite you?"

"Yan’er, are you hurt? Let mother take a look! A tiger is no joke."

Lin Yanran looked at Mrs. Qin’s pale face and shook her head lightly, "Mother, I wasn’t bitten, but... but..."

She cried while recounting the experience of being chased by the White Tiger, embellishing how ferocious the tiger was, how Nangong Mo watched coldly, how Yun Ran fanned the flas, exaggerating countless tis as she told Mrs. Qin.

After hearing this, Mrs. Qin’s teeth were gritting audibly.

"This is outrageous! Detestable! Those two vile, heartless, good-for-nothing scoundrels!"

"It’s all because I was too kind back then and spared her pathetic life, had I known today would co, I should have sent her to join her mother."

"Yan’er, don’t worry, for treating you like this today, I swear I won’t rest until I get revenge!"

"Haoran will soon be arriving in the capital, once he hears about this he will definitely teach that little scoundrel a lesson she won’t forget!"

Lin Yanran wiped her tears, face full of resentnt, "I know brother will stand up for ! But right now I am so full of hate, I can’t swallow this anger!"

"I don’t want to wait another mont! I wish she would drop dead right in front of now! Only then will my hatred be appeased!"

Mrs. Qin frowned and thought for a mont, then suddenly said: "Now you are the Crown Princess Consort appointed by the Emperor, doing this is tantamount to disrespecting the Emperor, they are clearly slapping the Crown Prince in the face by treating you like this!"

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a look, Lin Yanran’s eyes brightened, and she imdiately had soone help her with her makeup and dress up.

...

Half an hour later, Lin Yanran was dressed in luxurious garnts, with exquisite makeup, setting off in a carriage to the Eastern Palace.

On the way, Lin Yanran’s mood was both nervous and excited.

Since that night, she hadn’t seen Nangong Jue, and she missed him dearly.

And so things, once they start, they linger on in one’s mind, emotions difficult to control.

Lin Yanran sat in the carriage with her eyes closed, imagining the Crown Prince comforting her tenderly after knowing she was bullied, and the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but lift.

He would definitely go to Prince Qin Mansion to regain her dignity!

"Crown Princess Consort, we have arrived at the Eastern Palace."

Her sweet dream was interrupted, Lin Yanran was sowhat displeased, but didn’t show it.

She had Jinsi go and knock on the door, while she stayed in the carriage, waiting.

The Eastern Palace’s Housekeeper Mingde personally ca out, which made Lin Yanran feel extrely proud.

See how much the Crown Prince values her!

Lin Yanran exited the carriage in an elegant manner, having assud herself to be the mistress of the Eastern Palace.

"Housekeeper Mingde holds an important position in the Eastern Palace, must be busy with affairs, there’s no need for you to personally co to greet ."

Saying this, she attempted to walk past Mingde but was stopped by him.

"Second Miss, please wait."

Lin Yanran’s face stiffened, but she maintained her elegant and graceful deanor, smiling slightly, "Housekeeper Ming, what is it?"

Mingde wore a perfect smile, "Second Miss, the Crown Prince has gone out for important matters, he is not currently in the Eastern Palace."

What he ant was, you can leave now.

But Lin Yanran didn’t mind, "No problem, I’ll just go inside and wait for him."

Saying this, she once again tried to go in, only to be stopped by Mingde a second ti.

Lin Yanran felt she was losing face, her expression slightly darkened, "Housekeeper Ming, what do you an by this?"

"Second Miss, the Ministry of Rites is already making arrangents for the engagent ceremony between you and His Highness the Crown Prince."

This phrase pleased Lin Yanran, bringing a smile to her face again, but then she heard Housekeeper Ming change his tone.

"Though not yet engaged, the decree is out, you and His Highness are already betrothed, according to the rites, betrothed couples should not et before the wedding, otherwise, it’s considered inauspicious."

Lin Yanran: "??!"

How could this be?!

She was aware of this rule, but isn’t the engagent ceremony not yet formally held?

Housekeeper Ming observed her montarily dazed expression, gestured politely, saying:

"Therefore, Second Miss, please kindly return for now."

Lin Yanran stood still, her expression changing several tis, finally forcing a smile.

"I have important matters to discuss with His Highness the Crown Prince, could you make an exception just this once?"

"Second Miss, please don’t make things difficult for this old servant."

"..."

Faced with the smiling yet unyielding Housekeeper Ming, standing like a gatekeeper at the entrance, Lin Yanran eventually left, defeated.

She fud all the way back in the carriage.

The luxurious carriage blanket was shredded to pieces with scissors.

By the ti she returned to Minister Mansion, her face was so contorted with rage.

Mrs. Qin had been waiting at ho for her good news, upon learning she was back, she imdiately went to her, catching Lin Yanran just as she was storming into her room.

Mrs. Qin ran after her, "Yanran, what did the Crown Prince say? Did he promise to..."

"Bang—"

A dull sound echoed, and Mrs. Qin found herself shut outside the door, narrowly missing getting hit in the nose.

Mrs. Qin was a bit puzzled, "Yanran, what happened?"

"I just want to be alone! Mother, go back!"

Mrs. Qin: "???"
