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

Chapter 436: Returning to the Palace

However, the guard's expression was one of utter disdain.

This immediately made the two women extremely unhappy.

After all, they were all born into prestigious families, and weren't they all pampered and treated like royalty on a daily basis?

How could I possibly be subjected to such disdain by an ordinary guard these days?

So Xu Yao'er and Xiao Lisha immediately became annoyed.

"What kind of look is that! We are both of much higher status than you! If you look at me like that again, I'll cripple you right now!"

"Don't think that just because you're the Crown Prince's guard, you're superior to us!"

……

The two of them gradually started arguing.

But the bodyguard was too lazy to argue with the two of them.

He kept his mouth shut and listened to the two women arguing.

"Why is he still mute? He can't even speak?"

"Do you feel guilty? Then why don't you kowtow to me twice, and perhaps I can forgive you with magnanimity."

……

These two women were exceptionally proud and arrogant.

However, Li Jingyang and Lin Rusi had long since disappeared.

By the time the two women realized what was happening, it was too late.

"The Crown Prince and the other two have left!"

"It's all your fault! If you hadn't argued with this guard, we would have found the Crown Prince long ago!"

"Why are you blaming me, woman!"

"If it's not your fault, whose fault is it? We shouldn't have argued in the first place!"

……

The guard felt a surge of disdain as he watched the two women making such a racket.

Seeing that the two of them were arguing fiercely, he quietly left.

Only when the two women finally shut their mouths did they realize that they had all failed.

However, this news soon reached Li Jingyang's ears.

After all, two women arguing in the street is a big deal.

Moreover, these two women are not ordinary people.

So it was only a matter of time before Li Jingyang found out.

"Oh? There are actually two women arguing in the street, how interesting!"

Li Jingyang chuckled, still clutching the grapes he had just bought for Lin Rusi.

However, Lin Rusi only found the story somewhat amusing.

"It seems our young master is quite popular with women; there are even women arguing about him in the streets."

Lin Rusi's teasing made Li Jingyang's face turn red instantly.

"What are you saying, Asi... It was just a coincidence between the two of them."

However, when Lin Rusi saw Li Jingyang's expression, she laughed even more heartily.

"I didn't mean to blame you, come and eat some grapes."

So the two of them ate grapes while thinking about this matter.

However, Lin Rusi still cared a lot about these two women.

"It's getting late, why don't we head back first?"

Li Jingyang nodded in complete agreement with Lin Rusi's statement and then swept her into his arms.

Ignoring the opinions of others, he swaggered onto the carriage.

"Jingyang! So many people are watching you, can you please stop being so ostentatious!"

Lin Rusi said, somewhat helplessly, as she punched Li Jingyang's chest.

However, Li Jingyang laughed heartily.

"We haven't been out and about in ages, why should we care about what they think?"

Actually, Li Jingyang is right.

Lin Rusi immediately laughed along with Li Jingyang.

While they were in the carriage, Li Jingyang summoned his bodyguards.

And secretly told the secret guards.

"Go and investigate the families of Xu Yao'er and Xiao Lisha immediately."

Upon receiving the order, the secret guards immediately set off to investigate.

But Lin Rusi, standing to the side, was holding something in her hand and looking at the scenery outside.

Turning his head, he saw Li Jingyang talking to the guard, and he wanted to ask some questions.

"What are you two talking about? I didn't hear you just now."

Because Li Jingyang's voice was too soft.

However, Li Jingyang was also afraid that Lin Rusi would get angry.

“I’m afraid Asi will get angry after hearing this.”

Unexpectedly, after listening to this, Lin Rusi smiled and patted Li Jingyang on the shoulder.

"Why would I be angry? I'm not angry at all about what happened just now. Besides, I really trust you."

Lin Rusi's words gave Li Jingyang some confidence.

"Besides, who doesn't know that you, the Crown Prince, love me the most? Moreover, your way of thinking is really strange; you could easily win the affection of anyone else."

These words made Li Jingyang frown in surprise.

Looking at Lin Rusi in front of him with suspicion, he wanted Lin Rusi to explain further.

Unexpectedly, Lin Rusi turned around while holding the grapes and burst out laughing.

"Jingyang, this is really interesting."

Li Jingyang held Lin Rusi tightly in his arms and tickled her.

"Are you going to tell me or not? What does this mean?!"

"It doesn't mean anything, it just means I really love you!"

……

And so, the two of them returned to the East Palace amidst laughter.

Changning had just returned to the palace and had just woken up.

Upon seeing her parents, Changning excitedly waved her little hands and feet.

Lin Rusi happily hugged Changning in her arms.

He continued to question Li Jingyang about what had happened in the carriage earlier.

"I just summoned the secret guards, just to investigate the family affairs of those two women."

After hearing Li Jingyang's words, Lin Rusi felt relieved.

Actually, this matter doesn't warrant investigating their families at all.

However, it's always good for Li Jingyang to be cautious.

"Oh, I see."

Lin Rusi nodded, but her gaze remained fixed on Changning.

Li Jingyang was already used to it, after all, the baby in Lin Rusi's arms was his own son.

Even if he's jealous now, Li Jingyang isn't willing to show it.

"It's getting late, it's time for Changning to go to sleep."

Although Li Jingyang said that, Changning looked exceptionally radiant.

This made it impossible for Lin Rusi to let go.

He had no choice but to give Changning the novel toy he had just picked up from the street.

Changning then agreed to follow the wet nurse back to the side hall.

"Changning is growing up a lot. I hope he can be like me in the future."

As Li Jingyang spoke, he kissed Lin Rusi's lips.

Lin Rusi then reached out and flicked Li Jingyang's forehead.

"Why are you so narcissistic? I just hope Changning can grow up safely."

Lin Rusi closed her eyes as she spoke, while Li Jingyang sighed.

"Yes, I hope our Changning can grow up safely and peacefully."

The two of them were pressed tightly together.

Before long, he fell asleep.

After a good night's sleep, Li Jingyang got up early again.

In contrast, Lin Rusi was fast asleep at that moment.
