Everything happened just as Lin Tingwan predicted, and rumors spread.

The entire Shangjing City was in an uproar, and some were happy while others were sad.

Those who are happy know that the position of Crown Princess is vacant and they have an opportunity, while those who are sad know that the position of Princess Gong has been taken by someone else.

Everyone was more than just a little bit angry at Lin Tingwan. What about Pei Jinan? It was no exaggeration to say that he was the golden bachelor in the entire Shangjing City.

The happiest ones among them were Fang Yule and Lin Tangning.

After the two met, Fang Yule kept asking Lin Tangning about the truth of the matter. In the end, Lin Tangning nodded and confirmed the truth to her.

Fang Yule lost her composure when she heard that. She asked blankly, "Are you serious?"

Lin Tangning nodded and spoke slowly, "My aunt just told me yesterday that when someone came to the palace, she was right in front of them, and she listened when the imperial edict was read."

"It is true that Prince Gong married my cousin."

When Lin Tangning mentioned the word "cousin", there was no resentment in her tone this time. That was true, because she had only been thinking about Pei Yanli from the beginning to the end.

Now that the marriage between Lin Tingwan and Pei Yanli was over, her resentment towards Lin Tingwan naturally disappeared.

Fang Yule naturally heard all the twists and turns in this. Her eyes flickered slightly as she said, "But it seems that your cousin has always been in the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Regarding this matter, Lin Tangning shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "This is naturally not my cousin's problem. My cousin cannot control the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

In fact, Lin Tangning is usually very clear-headed, but when it comes to Pei Yanli's affairs, she becomes a little confused. But this is not her fault, and she doesn't know why it is like this.

"What you said is not right. Your cousin back then..." Fang Yule paused, and seemed to be hesitant to say something, as if there was something he couldn't say.

Lin Tangning looked at her in confusion, "My cousin has been in Liangzhou all these years, how could she have anything to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"That being said, but..." Fang Yule paused here.

Lin Tangning looked at her with some confusion.

Fang Yule's eyes flickered. She now knew that Lin Tangning was out of control and would squeeze out every last bit of her value.

"Forget it. I'm not the kind of person who talks about others behind their backs. It's better not to mention this matter."

But Fang Yule knew that Lin Tangning would definitely investigate privately, so she didn't need to do anything but spread the news.

Lin Tangning nodded as if he understood what was said.

Now her mind is a little clearer, and she realizes that Fang Yule doesn't seem to really regard her as a friend.

She really treated her as a sister at first.

But then again, what is her identity? If it weren't for Lin Tingwan's identity, she would never have had any relationship with Fang Yule. She was just being used anyway.

Lin Tangning suddenly realized at this moment that she had been used by Fang Yule.

Lin Tangning's expression suddenly changed, and he slowly stood up, "Miss Fang, there is something urgent at home, so I will go first."

Fang Yule also heard Lin Tangning's distant tone. She nodded with a complicated expression, turned around and left without saying anything more.

Fang Yule looked at her from behind and sneered, "Who are you to dare challenge me? One day I will teach your Lin family a lesson!"

On the other side, Lin Tangning suddenly understood a lot of things in an instant.

When Lin Tingwan just returned to Beijing that day, the relationship between the two was clearly good, but later on, for unknown reasons, it changed.

Lin Tangning calmed herself down, got on the carriage and went to the Lin Mansion. There were some things she wanted to clarify with Lin Tingwan.

……

At dusk, the sky gradually darkened and the setting sun was vaguely visible. The trees on the ground cast long shadows and the breeze blew the leaves, making a rustling sound.

The houses on the roadside gradually lit up, embellishing the darkening streets.

The sound of the carriage coming from afar has become almost inaudible.

Lin Tingwan sat in the mansion for a long time, but he didn't expect to receive an uninvited guest.

When she saw Lin Tangning, she thought that this person was here to look for Song Yingyue.

But he didn't expect that she would kneel straight in front of Lin Tingwan, her eyes were wet, and her hands on her knees were trembling slightly.

"Cousin, it was all my fault before. I don't know why I lost my mind and did those things that hurt you. Please punish me, cousin."

"No matter how you punish me, I have no complaints."

Lin Tingwan frowned slightly when she heard this. She looked at Lin Tangning in confusion. She didn't know what was going on. "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Tingwan couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. She couldn't understand why Lin Tangning suddenly became like this. Was there something fishy going on again?

"Cousin, I really know I was wrong. I don't have any other bad intentions. Please understand me, cousin."

Lin Tingwan was silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "Don't worry, even if I marry Prince Gong, I won't do anything to trip you up behind your back."

Lin Tangning snorted coldly, not taking Lin Tingwan's words to heart at all, "Cousin, what are you talking about? If I marry the Crown Prince in the future, I will still have to call you the Imperial Aunt. How come we are a family again?"

Lin Tingwan's expression was still complicated. She frowned and looked at Lin Tangning, then slowly said, "Tangning, Fang Yule will definitely not let go of this opportunity. You are no match for her. Listen to your cousin and stay away from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Lin Tangning shook her head stubbornly and said, "My cousin, the Crown Prince is wise and powerful. We are definitely not the only two who want to marry him. I am not someone who is afraid of such things."

Hearing this, Lin Tingwan sighed and looked at her helplessly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Cousin, I will definitely become the Crown Princess in the future, no matter what means or methods I use, cousin, you can rest assured." Every word Lin Tangning said was full of power.

Lin Tingwan sighed and said nothing more. Some things should be said as soon as possible. No matter what she said, Lin Tangning couldn't listen at the moment. In this case, it would be better to say nothing.

All she has to do is protect the Lin family.

Now Lin Tingwan still doesn't believe what Lin Tangning said. The two have been competing against each other for more than ten years. How could there be such a sudden change? Lin Tingwan doesn't believe it.

The sky gradually turned dark yellow, and the clouds in the distance began to turn gray, like a touch of light and plain rhyme.

The leaves gradually lost their vitality and shrank, as if they had sensed the arrival of deep winter.

The wind gradually became slightly cooler, making a rustling sound when blowing through the leaves, as if saying goodbye to them.
