I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 280: Startling Steps - 4 Fu Jin 26

"Yes, Father Emperor, you must do something for my eight brother." These words were said by Yinzhen. Although his face showed the same worried expression as Yinzhen's, he felt relieved in his heart.

Now that something has happened to the Eighth Brother, a disabled person cannot sit on the throne. Now he no longer has to worry about what might happen to his Ninth Brother if he follows the Eighth Brother.

Seeing that his son Yinsi was in trouble and he could no longer take his throne, the emperor finally felt a little bit of fatherly love and planned to have someone investigate the murderer who hurt Yinsi.

Seeing that the emperor was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, Minghui couldn't help but clench her handkerchief tightly, and her heart began to beat rapidly.

After everyone left, Minghui staggered to sit on the stool, her face a little pale.

Tangzhi comforted her, "Fujin, don't worry."

Minghui knew what she meant. She thought about it carefully in her mind. Her plan was made after careful consideration. Moreover, she had been in charge of Prince Lian's Mansion for so many years. Especially after she realized what kind of person Yinsi was, she had slowly taken control of the mansion.

The emperor will definitely not be able to find out.

The fact was just as Minghui had thought. The emperor's men failed to investigate and there was no evidence, either human or physical.

The emperor's eyes were on the ministers in the court and he didn't think about Minghui at all, so Minghui escaped.

Yinsi’s injury could not be cured completely. When he learned the bad news, he could not bear the blow for a while and fainted.

After waking up again, he still couldn't accept it, so he couldn't help crying and screaming. Slowly, he calmed down, but he was dazed and without any spirit.

In a short period of time, he looked much more haggard and had an untidy beard.

Seeing that his legs could no longer walk and could only lie down and move, he had no choice but to accept his fate.

When Yinsi had almost recuperated at the prince's residence, he was sent back to Prince Lian's mansion.

Minghui no longer loved Yinsi, but for the sake of a good reputation, she would often go to Yinsi's room to see him. There were still many servants in Prince Lian's mansion, and Yinsi didn't need her care at all.

So every time they came, the two of them mostly just looked at each other in silence.

Now that Yinsi has no chance of ascending the throne, the forces behind Minghui are of no use to him, so he reveals his true colors in front of Minghui and clearly expresses his disgust for Minghui.

Minghui already knew what kind of person Yinsi was, and she was not sad about it. She even made a few sarcastic remarks when she saw Yinsi's miserable appearance.

Ruoxi comes more often than Minghui, after all, she still likes Yinsi.

But she was still a little disappointed with Yinsi, blaming him for being careless and not listening to her. If he had listened to her, how could he have been injured so seriously?

It seems that she can't become the queen.

Now that Yinsi's legs cannot move, it is almost impossible for her to get pregnant. How great it would be if she could have a son. Then perhaps, it is possible that her son could inherit Yinsi's title of Prince Lian.

But now it's too late.

Now that Yinsi has no chance at all, Ruoxi doesn't have to give Yinsi advice, so she has more time to think about other things.

Suddenly, she remembered what she had asked Qiaohui to investigate.

"Qiaohui, how is your investigation going on with the matter I asked you to investigate? Have you found anything?"

Qiao Hui lowered her head and said, "Concubine, I haven't found out anything yet."

This time, Ruoxi finally noticed that something was wrong with Qiaohui. She looked at Qiaohui, and Qiaohui became very nervous under her gaze. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Ruoxi.

Ruoxi asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Qiao Hui quickly shook her head: "Concubine, I didn't do that. How could I possibly hide it from you?"

"Then why are you so nervous? Do you know something but you won't tell me?"

Qiaohui didn't dare to open her mouth, for she was afraid of accidentally saying something she shouldn't.

Looking at her like this, Ruoxi was sure that Qiaohui must know something. What she asked her to investigate was whether Yinsi had someone in his heart and whether he was treating her as a substitute.

If Qiaohui could keep it secret, then she must know the inside story, and perhaps she also knows who Yinsi has in his heart. The person Qiaohui knows and who looks like her can only be... her sister Ruolan.

When she thought of Ruolan, Ruoxi didn't know what to do.

To be honest, Ruolan treated her very well and took good care of her now, but when she thought that she was Ruolan's substitute in Yinsi's heart, she felt very uncomfortable with Ruolan.

But she couldn't lose her temper with Ruolan, after all, Ruolan knew nothing.

But if she didn't do something, she couldn't calm down.

Looking at the concubine with a calm face, Qiaohui dared not speak anymore. Having been with the concubine for such a long time, she knew Ruoxi very well. Her expression was a sign of anger.

As expected, Ruoxi suddenly threw the teapot, fruit plate and other things on the table to the ground, as well as the porcelain and other things in the room. She smashed everything she saw, screaming as she did so. She looked like a madman.

As for Qiaohui, she had been kicked out by Ruoxi a long time ago. Qiaohui knew that she could no longer hide the truth, so she ran to inform Ruolan.

After Ruolan learned the truth that Yinsi favored her, she became more disgusted with Yinsi. She never expected that he was such a villain.

She also treats Ruoxi as her substitute. She doesn't believe that Yinsi loves her. Does she think she doesn't know what true love is? If you really love someone, you won't look for a substitute.

Yinsi was just deceiving himself after failing to get her, and still thought he was deeply in love with her.

She already felt guilty towards Ruoxi, and now she felt even more guilty towards her, so she quickened her pace to see Ruoxi, fearing that Ruoxi would be upset.

This was also her fault, and if Ruoxi wanted to blame her, she should be blamed.

After arriving at Ruoxi's yard, she was about to call Ruoxi, but unexpectedly she heard something that made her very sad and heartbroken.

Just now, after Ruoxi smashed everything in the room, she still couldn't accept the fact that she was used as a substitute by Yinsi.

She knew in her heart that it was not Ruolan's fault. After spending a long time with Ruolan, she could see that Ruolan did not like Yinsi. But perhaps Ruoxi was used to being favored by Ruolan and felt quite fearless.

She blamed Yinsi in her heart but didn't dare to say it out loud. However, she didn't think so much about Ruolan. Now that all the servants had been driven away by her, she dared to say it out loud.

To be honest, Ruoxi just looked down on Ruolan. When she first came to this world, she said that Ruolan didn't know how to fight, and she looked down on her. Even though she was on good terms with Ruolan, in her heart there was always a layer of distance between her and Ruolan.

She had never truly considered Ruolan as her sister. She would call her sister when she was happy, but if something didn't go her way, the only person she would vent her anger on was Ruolan.
