Chapter 109 No Way to Decide

"Oh? They're coming? Then let them in. I want to see what tricks they have to play."

As she spoke, she put down the teacup in her hand, straightened her clothes, sat upright on the stone bench, and waited for Su Yingying and Lu Ming to arrive.

After a while, Su Yingying brought Lu Ming into the garden. When they saw Lin Wanqing, they immediately walked over.

"Sister Wanqing, long time no see. How have you been recently?"

Su Yingying had a decent smile on her face, as if the previous grudge between her and Lin Wanqing did not exist.

Lin Wanqing looked at her hypocritical face and sneered in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He just responded lightly: "Tofl, everything is fine."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Lu Ming beside her, and a complex look flashed in her eyes.

When Lu Ming met Lin Wanqing's gaze, his heart tightened and he lowered his head uncomfortably.

"Your Majesty, you are well."

Lin Wanqing's voice broke the awkwardness in the air, and Lu Ming raised his head.

When I met her clear eyes, my heart couldn't help but tighten.

Lin Wanqing couldn't help but sigh inwardly when she saw him like this.

"I wonder what important matter has brought Sister Yingying and the Prince here today?"

Lin Wanqing withdrew his thoughts and looked at the two people in front of him with a somewhat distant tone.

When Su Yingying heard this, a hint of displeasure flashed across her face, but she quickly concealed it.

"Actually, I came here today to ask for something."

She looked at Lin Wanqing with a pleading look on her face.

"Sister, you know that Sister Qiao'er has been under house arrest by the old lady recently. She is very upset and wants you to persuade the old lady to let her out for some fresh air."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Su Yingying with a smile.

"Oh? What does this have to do with me? Su Qiao'er was grounded because of her own fault. What does it have to do with me?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone, which made Su Yingying's face instantly become ugly.

But because Lu Ming was present, she couldn't lose her temper and could only suppress her anger.

"Sister Wanqing, I know Sister Qiao'er has done a lot of wrong things before, but she has admitted her mistakes. Please give her a chance to mend her ways."

As she spoke, she actually squeezed out a few tears, looking pitiful.

Lin Wanqing couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he saw her like this.

It’s such a pity that Su Yingying doesn’t go to sing opera.

"Su Yingying, you don't have to act in front of me. We both know who Su Qiaoer is."

"If she really knew she was wrong, she wouldn't do those things."

Lin Wanqing's tone revealed a certain firmness, letting Su Yingying know that there was no room for negotiation on this matter.

Seeing this, Su Yingying knew that it was useless to continue talking, so she could only glare at Lin Wanqing angrily, pull Lu Ming and turn away.

Lu Ming was pulled by Su Yingying for a few steps, then suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lin Wanqing.

"Wanqing, I..."

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Lin Wanqing couldn't help but sigh inwardly when she saw him like this.

"Prince, some things should be made clear to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

Her voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for Lu Ming to hear clearly.

When Lu Ming heard this, his body stiffened. He then turned his head, looked at Lin Wanqing deeply, and turned away.

Lin Wanqing looked at his back, feeling mixed emotions.

She knew that Lu Ming still had feelings for her, but she was no longer the Lin Wanqing of the past, and it was impossible for her to be with him again.

I hope he can understand that there is no longer any possibility between them.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and turned to leave the garden.

On the other side, Su Yingying pulled Lu Ming out of the garden, her face full of anger.

"Damn it! This Lin Wanqing is so disrespectful to us!"

Lu Ming didn't say anything, just walked in silence, but his heart was filled with turbulent waves.

He also didn't expect that Lin Wanqing would reject their request so resolutely.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Yingying became even more angry. She stopped suddenly and turned to look at him.

"Lu Ming, why aren't you talking? Are you also bewitched by that Lin Wanqing?"

Hearing this, Lu Ming came back to his senses, looked at Su Yingying's angry face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Yingying, you misunderstood. I was just thinking about something."

He paused, then continued, "Actually, I think Wan Qing is right. What Su Qiaoer did is indeed not worthy of forgiveness."

After hearing this, Su Yingying's expression became even uglier. She glared at him and turned away.

Lu Ming looked at her departing back and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He knew that what he said was right, but he also knew that by saying this, he had undoubtedly planted a thorn in Su Yingying's heart.

But he has no regrets, because he knows that he must stick to his principles.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and raised his foot to catch up with Su Yingying.

The two walked one after the other, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

Su Yingying's pace became faster and faster, as if she wanted to vent all the anger in her heart on the bluestone slabs under her feet.

She suddenly stopped and turned to face Lu Ming, with a questioning gleam in her eyes.

"Lu Ming, you don't really want Qiao'er to be locked up like this forever, do you?"

There was a hint of disbelief in her voice, as if she couldn't believe Lu Ming could be so cruel.

Hearing this, Lu Ming paused and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

He sighed and said slowly: "Yingying, there is nothing I can do."

"But……"

Su Yingying wanted to argue, but swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.

"and,"

Lu Ming continued, "I have no way to change the old lady's decision. She is the elder in the mansion, and we younger generations can only obey her wishes."

Su Yingying's expression became even uglier when she heard this.

She bit her lower lip tightly, with a gleam of unwillingness in her eyes.

"Are we just going to watch Sister Qiaoer suffer?"

There was a hint of sob in her voice, as if she would burst into tears at any moment.

Seeing this, Lu Ming's heart softened. He took a step forward, gently patted Su Yingying's shoulder, and his tone softened a little.

"Yingying, don't worry. I'll find a way, but you have to believe me. Some things can't be rushed, and they can't be rushed."

There was a hint of comfort in his words, trying to calm the anger and unwillingness in Su Yingying's heart.

Su Yingying looked up and looked at Lu Ming with tears in her eyes, with both grievance and expectation in her eyes.

"Really? Will you really find a way to rescue Qiao'er?"

There was a slight tremor in her voice, as if she would feel at ease as long as Lu Ming nodded.

Lu Ming nodded firmly, his tone gentle but unquestionable.

"Qiao'er is the one I love the most. I will never let her suffer any injustice."

His words were like the warm sunshine in spring, instantly dispelling the haze in Su Yingying's heart.
