108: Crazy Prince Forced Love 3

Su Yao was thrown out of the Regent's Wang Residence; she had never been so humiliated!

She was trembling with anger at this moment.

She had thought that Xiao Jin favoring Wen Ci was just to spite her, but seeing it with her own eyes today, that madman actually held a little maid in his palm and protected her, even treating her so coldly for the sake of a maid.

"Bitch!" She fiercely tore the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes filled with venom, "A lowly laundry maid, how dare she compete with me?"

The maidservant timidly advised, "Miss, why don't we... just forget about it? The Regent only has Wen Ci in his eyes now, why bother making a fool of yourself..."

"Forget about it?" Su Yao sneered, "What I, Su Yao, want, I've never failed to get. Now it's just that I don't want it anymore! Because Xiao Jin is simply a madman, and I disdain him!"

She suddenly stood up, a twisted pleasure flashing in her eyes: "Prepare the carriage, I'm going to see Young Master Lin, I won't suffer here!"

Lin Xiuyuan, the poor scholar she deeply loved in her previous life, was her heart's treasure.

In this life, she would no longer entangle with Xiao Jin; she wanted to pursue her freedom and true love!

And since Xiao Jin could humiliate her for a maid, then she would also make him taste what it's like for his beloved woman to be possessed by another!

West of the city, a simple courtyard.

Lin Xiuyuan was reading by lamplight. Hearing a knock at the door, he opened it to see Su Yao, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, followed by a gentle smile: "Miss Su, it's so late, why have you come?"

Su Yao's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at him piteously: "Young Master Lin, I... I feel sad."

Lin Xiuyuan quickly welcomed her into the house and asked with concern: "What happened?"

Su Yao threw herself into his arms, sobbing: "The Regent... he humiliated me for a maid..."

A hint of calculation flashed in Lin Xiuyuan's eyes, but his face was full of heartache: "The Regent is so insensible! How could he not cherish a woman as talented and beautiful as Miss Su?"

Su Yao looked up, her eyes misty with tears: "Young Master Lin, only you understand me..."

Lin Xiuyuan gently wiped away her tears and whispered: "If Miss Su doesn't mind, I am willing to stay by your side forever."

Su Yao's heart warmed, and she actively kissed his lips.

Lin Xiuyuan took the opportunity to press her down on the couch, his fingers skillfully untying her sash, his lips softly coaxing by her ear: "Miss Su, although I come from a humble background, my feelings for you are witnessed by heaven and earth..."

Su Yao closed her eyes, intoxicated, completely unaware of the greed in his eyes.

What she didn't know was that Lin Xiuyuan had already inquired about her identity, knowing that she was the legitimate daughter of the Su family, with immense wealth.

He didn't love her at all; he only wanted to climb up using her money.

After their intimacy, Lin Xiuyuan held her and sighed: "It's just a pity that my family is poor, and I can't even buy Miss Su a decent hairpin..."

Su Yao immediately clutched his hand, her heart aching: "Young Master Lin, you don't have to worry, I have plenty of silver!"

She unhesitatingly took off the golden bracelet on her wrist and put it into his hand: "Take this first. Tomorrow, I'll have someone send more silver notes."

Lin Xiuyuan feigned refusal: "How can this be? How can I use Miss Su's money..."

Su Yao, however, felt incredibly exhilarated.

Look, she could also bestow favors upon others now!

She was finally no longer the poor wretch controlled by Xiao Jin, but someone who could dictate others' fates!

"Young Master Lin, don't be so polite." She said softly, "As long as you treat me well, my money is yours."

A triumphant smile flashed in Lin Xiuyuan's eyes as he lowered his head to kiss her: "Miss Su treats me with such deep affection; I will certainly not fail you."

Su Yao leaned contentedly in his arms, unaware that she was falling step by step into an abyss.

Regent's Wang Residence.

Xiao Jin sat in the study, listening to the dark guard's report, a cold sneer playing on his lips.

"He went to find that scholar again?"

"Yes." The dark guard bowed his head, "Your subordinate also found out that scholar Lin Xiuyuan is not a good person; he approaches Miss Su merely for her money."

Xiao Jin scoffed: "Just a fool."

He was too lazy to bother with Su Yao's mess and instead asked: "Where is Wen Ci?"

"Miss Wen is admiring flowers in the garden."

Xiao Jin got up and strode towards the garden.

In recent days, he had already elevated Wen Ci's status; she was no longer a maid but had moved directly into the main courtyard, eating and living with him.

Although the servants in the manor dared not speak openly, they all knew in their hearts that this Miss Wen would likely be the future Princess Consort.

In the garden, Wen Ci was standing under a crabapple tree, looking up at the flower buds on the branches.

The lamplight filtered through the petals and fell on her face, making her skin appear like jade and her features like a painting.

Xiao Jin's heart softened. He walked over and embraced her waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder: "Do you like this flower?"

Wen Ci chuckled: "Hmm, it will surely be beautiful when it blooms."

Xiao Jin kissed her earlobe: "Tomorrow, I'll have ten more planted in the courtyard."

Wen Ci was helpless: "Regent, this one hasn't even bloomed yet..."

"It doesn't matter." He pinched her chin, his gaze deep, "As long as you like it, all the flowers in the entire manor are yours."

Wen Ci's heart warmed slightly, and she leaned into his arms, softly saying: "Regent treats me so well, I don't know how to repay him."

Xiao Jin chuckled: "You just need to stay with me forever, that's enough."

He lacked nothing, only a person who genuinely cared for him.

And Wen Ci was that sincere person he was looking for.
