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

Chapter 100: Scheme

After comforting her mother, Lin Rusi returned to the courtyard.

Not long after, Wanqi returned from outside.

"How's the investigation going?"

“Miss, we’ve investigated everything. All those rumors outside were spread by the Sun family. Besides the ones shouting and cursing at the door, there were other even more offensive ones.”

After Wanqi finished speaking, Lin Rusi's expression became even more unpleasant.

"I originally only wanted to get rid of this family and didn't want to cause them too much trouble, but what they've done is simply intolerable."

Wanqi then stepped forward.

“Miss, when Madam Sun passed away, the doctors who treated her had medical records. If we take these out and make them public, all the rumors will fall apart.”

"I know that, but there's no need to rush. We'll make our move in a few days."

When Wanqi heard this, she didn't quite understand, but since her mistress had already said so, she didn't ask any further questions.

At the same time, Lin Ruqin was getting anxious and paced back and forth in the courtyard.

"So Lin Rusi still hasn't reacted?"

Lin Ruqin asked Hongzhi, and Hongzhi nodded.

"It's really strange. The Second Miss used to be arrogant and domineering, and she didn't think before she acted. I didn't expect her to be so tolerant this time."

Thinking about this, Hongzhi also felt strange.

"If she were still making a scene like before, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the fact that she's not doing anything now makes me feel uneasy."

This is completely out of character for Lin Rusi.

Only after thinking about this did I feel a little hesitant.

“Miss, you may be overthinking it. Perhaps the Second Miss is unaware of this matter yet.”

"I hope so."

At the same time, the Sun family also realized that they had less and less money.

It might be difficult to stay in the capital.

"Jiang Yi, didn't you say that your uncle would definitely try to help us find it after he found out about this? But why is there still no news after so much time has passed?"

Sun Huaimin was somewhat anxious.

They had almost no money left.

If the Lin family really ignores them, their entire family might end up homeless.

"Father, it seems that with Aunt gone and Lord Lin no longer taking our family seriously, this plan won't work."

Sun Jiangyi felt somewhat dissatisfied.

No matter what, their aunt died in the Lin family, so what they did was really inhumane.

But there's nothing we can do now.

“So what should we do now? Your grandfather is getting old and can’t keep following us around all the time… The old house has been used to pay off debts, and now we really have nowhere to go.”

"Now we can only place our hopes on that girl."

"Ruqin?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Huaimin had no choice but to believe him.

The next day, she also sent someone in to inform them that Lin Ruqin heard that the words outside were all criticizing her, and it would not be good to ignore it.

Left with no other choice, he had to go out and deal with the situation.

If we let them cause trouble here, it will probably displease my father.

"Uncle, what are you doing? Get up right now! Kneeling in front of me like this is making your niece feel terrible."

"Ruqin, our family came to you because we had nowhere else to turn. Now that your mother has passed away, we can only rely on you. Your grandfather is old. Even if you don't care about our lives, you should still take him back with you, right?"

Sun Huaimin had already made his plans.

Now, more and more people are coming to watch.

Seeing the elderly man with white hair, he felt that it was all Lin Ruqin's fault.

“Miss Lin, no matter what, this is your maternal grandfather. How can you just ignore him like this? Let’s invite him in first.”

"Exactly! How can the elderly person's health withstand such cold weather? You are a wealthy and influential family, how could you do something so outrageous?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruqin's face immediately turned pale.

“Uncle, it’s not that I don’t want to take you back, but as you can see, I’m not in charge now, so even if I wanted to, I’m powerless to do anything about it.”

After saying this, he took out one hundred taels of silver from his sleeve and threw it to Sun Huaimin.

"Uncle, this money is what I've saved up over the years by living frugally. Why don't you take Grandpa to find a place to rent first, and we can talk about the rest later, okay?"

Sun Huaimin's expression softened considerably when he saw the money.

"Alright, it's enough that you have the heart. Well, we'll be leaving now. You'd better go find your father as soon as possible and explain this matter to him, otherwise we won't leave."

After saying this, he left with his entire family.

However, Lin Ruqin knew in her heart that her family was already extravagant, and if this money fell into their hands, they probably wouldn't be able to use it for more than a few days.

"Miss...why don't we tell the master about this? How can a young lady like you handle something like this?"

Seeing this, Hongzhi also felt a little sorry for her.

"No, my father is already quite dissatisfied with me. If he knew about this, he would be even angrier. I can't let such a trivial matter affect our father-daughter relationship."

She had planned these things very well in her mind.

"Alright, that's enough for now. Don't tell anyone about what happened today."

After returning to his own courtyard, the expression on his face became increasingly grim.

“If this continues, I’m afraid I’ll be controlled by this family forever. I have to find a way to resolve this so that they will never appear in front of me again.”

Lin Ruqin spoke harshly.

"Miss, what should we do?"

"Let me think about these things, but don't tell anyone yet. I will find a way to solve this."

"Yes."

At this moment, Lin Rusi was sitting very leisurely inside her stomach.

"How's it going? The Sun family is here again today?"

"Yes, today the young lady went out and dealt with them for a while, and finally gave them one hundred taels of silver to get rid of them."

Lin Rusi was not surprised to hear this, but her family was greedy, so how could one hundred taels of silver possibly satisfy them?

He then gave a disdainful laugh.

“That family is like a bottomless pit. How could one hundred taels of silver possibly satisfy them? I want to see how eldest sister will handle this matter this time.”

Wanqi smiled and then looked at Lin Rusi.

"It's just that the young lady brought it upon herself; the wicked will be punished by the wicked."
