C83 Loss of Face (1/2)
What did that mean? Everyone looked at the three of them curiously.
Didn't everyone know the bet between Princess Lin and Miss Liu? Since even Prince Lin's wife agreed to marry him, what reason did he have to oppose this? It was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, let alone a good man like Nangong Lin who had power and influence.
”Big Brother Lin.” Liu Zhixue screamed in panic. She had never thought that Nangong Lin would be unwilling to marry her. How was this possible?
”Little Lin Lin, you have no need to worry about my feelings.” Yan Xiaoxi continued to play to the end.
”This prince promises that in this lifetime, the only mistress of the Prince Lin's estate will be Yan Xiaoxi. Do you want a concubine or not?” Nangong Lin's words resonated throughout the entire Cloud Lai Inn. Each and every word was heard by everyone.
This …
Prince Lin really cared deeply about Prince Lin's estate. Not only did he give away Liu Zhixue, who was such a peerless existence, he even doted on Princess Lin by herself. Just what kind of ability did this princess have? Even Prince Lin, whom they were so proud of, had been eaten up by him.
”Little Linlin.” These words were not part of their plan. Yan Xiaoxi had not expected that Nangong Lin would actually give her a solemn promise in front of everyone's eyes.
She felt that meeting Nangong Lin was her life's greatest fortune. With his indulgence, his love and forbearance, she instantly became the happiest woman in the world.
Nangong Lin, how could she, Yan Xiaoxi, have been able to make you treat her in such a manner?
”Xi Er, this king will not marry Liu Zhixue.” Nangong Lin repeated once again, expressing his decision.
Upon hearing this, the people in the inn immediately understood. The marriage had been arranged by Princess Lin, who was virtuous and magnanimous. She hadn't asked for Prince Lin's opinion on the matter; he was the only one who wanted to save her.
He did not love Miss Liu, but only Princess Lin. For Princess Lin's sake, he had actually hurt the childhood sweetheart of Miss Liu mercilessly. Think about it, Prince Lin from back then had doted on Miss Liu in such a way as well.
After all, Miss Liu was only a passerby in Prince Lin's life. Anyone present could tell that Prince Lin's heart had long since been completely occupied by Princess Lin. From the moment he entered the door, he had never taken his doting gaze from her, never even sparing her a glance.
Her love for Princess Lin definitely surpassed Liu Zhixue's love.
”Big Brother Lin, the wager that I made with little sister prince's concubine, she can't renege on it?” Liu Zhixue's eyes were filled with tears. Her eyes were filled with anger, unwillingness, and grievance as she gazed lovingly at Nangong Lin.
Looking at the pitiful Liu Zhixue, Nangong Lin's heart did not waver.
”Xi'er didn't go back on her words. This King wasn't willing to marry you.” His words were light and carefree, but they were like a sharp knife that stabbed into Liu Zhixue's heart and caused her to bleed profusely. That kind of pain penetrated deep into her bones and left her speechless.
Haha, how laughable. She used all her effort and plotted everything, only waiting for This King to say that she wasn't willing to marry you.
At this moment, Liu Zhixue truly realized that Nangong Lin truly did not love her.
Once beautiful is a passing cloud dream, like a gorgeous fireworks, beautiful but short, dissipating with the wind.
She, Liu Zhixue, would rather destroy the thing that she could not get than let others be happy. There was still one last chip in her hand, and as long as she took it out, she believed that Brother Lin would definitely change his mind.
Even if she didn't have love, she would still stay by his side. If she didn't, she didn't know what she would crazily do.
”Sigh, Miss Liu is so pitiful. Father has committed evil and was abandoned by Prince Lin twice.” The inn began a lively discussion.
