Shengjing Noble

Chapter 675 Will Not Reveal

What is Su Lanyin? What is the Lu family?

As long as the emperor wants you dead, he doesn't need to rack his brains to find a reason. His subordinates will do everything possible to offer their heads in exchange for his favor.

Actually, there wasn't much emotion in Su Lanyin's heart. She just had a good impression of Fu Mingchuan, but she couldn't say she loved him at all.

Moreover, when it comes down to it, she probably didn't have any romantic feelings for him.

So, when she saw that he was going to marry someone else, she felt calm and collected, as if she was watching a play.

The hall was stuffy and Su Lanyin felt breathless, so she stood up and quietly slipped out through the side door.

Just as I walked near the garden and wanted to find a secluded corner to sit down and rest, I was stopped by someone.

"Concubine Su."

Shen Ruchu stepped forward to stop her.

"Is there anything wrong, Princess?"

"Nothing, I just haven't seen you for a while, and when I saw you here, I wanted to come over and say hello."

"Really?" Su Lanyin had no good impression of her. Changle's death was instigated by Xiaoyu, who was beside her.

If no one had scared Changle, such a young and vibrant life would not have chosen to commit suicide.

"I have finished my greetings, Princess. I am leaving now."

Su Lanyin turned around with a sullen face and tried to leave.

"Wait!"

Shen Ruchu grabbed her arm.

"Is the princess alright?"

"It's not a big deal, I just have something to tell you."

"Okay, then you say it."

She wanted to hear what this woman, who regarded her as an enemy, had to say.

Shen Ruchu dismissed the maidservant beside her, and then pointed to a pavilion in front and said, "Why don't we go over there?"

"Okay."

Su Lanyin followed her to the pavilion, and they sat opposite each other, the atmosphere was a little cold.

Soon, Shen Ruchu spoke.

"How have you been doing these years?"

Su Lanyin frowned. There was no worry in her eyes, but only calculation.

So she asked impatiently: "Shen Ruchu, what do you want to say? We don't seem to be close enough to care about each other, right? Why do you have to be so hypocritical? I still like the way you were before."

At least the Shen Ruchu in the past would not be so hypocritical.

"……I……"

Shen Ruchu was exposed and felt a little embarrassed.

But soon, she adjusted her mood and chose to get straight to the point.

"When you left Snow City, the prince was deeply shocked when he came back. He didn't eat or drink for more than ten days and was completely devastated. He even fell ill with a high fever and kept calling your name."

Su Lanyin sneered disdainfully: "Why are you telling me this?"

Shen Ruchu continued, "Don't get me wrong. I just want to tell you that the prince was so disheartened at first, and in order to cheer him up again, I... I lied to him."

"What did you lie to him about?"

"I...I lied to him and said that the two children I gave birth to were yours."

"what?"

Su Lanyin thought she had heard it wrong, and her eyes were full of surprise.

"Only in this way can the prince regain hope. Since he thought the two children were born by you, he stopped giving up on himself. However, I do this not only for the prince's good, but also for the people of Snow City!"

"What does it have to do with the people?"

"At that time, the Beijiang tribe repeatedly invaded, and your eldest brother Su Shengyan could not resist alone. The prince was also bedridden. I really had no choice but to lie to him."

Su Lanyin fell silent after hearing this.

Seeing that she believed him, Shen Ruchu continued, "I lied to him that the two children were yours, so he quickly cheered up and wanted to defeat the enemy even if it was to protect your children."

"So until now, he has always believed that the child was born by you."

Su Lanyin frowned: "Then why are you telling me this?"

Shen Ruchu licked her dry lips nervously: "Because... I'm afraid you will let it slip. If the prince knows the truth, he will definitely blame me. Anyway, it's not a big deal. Can you please not expose me?"

"Heh~ I don't have time to care about your affairs as a couple."

After saying that, Su Lanyin stood up and was about to leave, but Shen Ruchu grabbed her arm and actually knelt on the ground.

"What are you doing?"

She was shocked. She didn't expect that this woman could be so humble for a man.

"Please, please don't tell the prince! If he knew that these two children were not born by you, he would definitely hate them. After all, you know that he doesn't like them..."

Shen Ruchu burst into tears and looked at her with pleading eyes.

It has to be said that this scene touched Su Lanyin.

She felt some sympathy for the woman.

I just feel that at this moment, Shen Ruchu has humbled himself to the dust so that his two children can continue to receive fatherly love.

Su Lanyin is an ordinary person after all, and she is definitely not heartless.

After thinking about it, she nodded and agreed: "Okay, I won't expose you."

"Really?" Shen Ruchu was overjoyed.

"Well, for me, it's just a matter of words, but you have to promise that he won't pester me because of the two children."

"I promise, as long as you admit that these two children are yours, and that you abandoned the children and ran away because you didn't want to get entangled with him, the prince will definitely give up. After all, he has been like this for so many years."

"understood."

Su Lanyin was too lazy to talk nonsense with Shen Ruchu, so she shook off her hand and left in a hurry.

Seeing her back disappear behind the flowers, the smile on Shen Ruchu's face suddenly turned cold, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

She slowly stood up, a wicked smile on her lips.

"Su Lanyin, the prince is mine, and the two children are mine too. In this life, you are just my stepping stone!"

……

Su Lanyin hurriedly escaped from the pavilion and walked in another direction.

She just wanted to hide away for some time, but ended up running into Fu Mingchuan who came out to look for her.

"Voice..."

His eyes were red and he looked like a hurt puppy.

Su Lanyin couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Because he was about to die, he had been living in pain and caution.

Now, I have finally managed to survive, but before I can get true freedom, I have been locked up in another cage and have no control over my own life.

Sometimes Su Lanyin wondered, for princesses and princes like them, was such a noble status right or wrong?

"Seventh Prince, is there something wrong?"

"I have something I want to tell you, but I'm afraid if I don't say it today, I'll never have the chance again."

Su Lanyin had already guessed what he wanted to say. Wouldn't it be too cruel to ask him to shut up at this time?

Forget it, just listen to it. They can play it off tomorrow anyway, and they will have no contact from now on.

"Okay, tell me."

This place was remote and deserted, so Su Lanyin stood there without moving, waiting for him to come over.

Fu Mingchuan walked closer step by step, and then looked at her affectionately and firmly, with a trace of tears flashing in his eyes.

"Yinyin... There are some things I wanted to tell you when we first met."
