The host ruthlessly crushes scum in the small world

Unexpectedly, the one who rescued Lin Jin was Ou Qishen, the eldest son of Marquis Wenyue. Although he was the Marquis's eldest son, Marquis Wenyue had been lukewarm in recent years, relying solely on the legacy left by his ancestors.

The reason he's still a marquis is because he sided with the emperor when the emperor ascended the throne, so the emperor allowed him to remain a marquis after the coronation.

But everyone knows that Ou Qishen is a spoiled brat who loves nothing more than romance and beautiful women. However, his family has the financial backing to support him.

Because Ou Qishen, as the eldest son, was essentially destined to become a future marquis, and with the marquis's wife backing him up, many people were unwilling to offend him.

But after Lin Chuyun climbed ashore, she saw Lin Jin lying soaking wet in Ou Qishen's arms, with everyone's eyes going back and forth between the two of them.

Lin Chuyun looked at herself, now completely soaked, and turned to leave. As she turned, she saw Lin Jinyou slowly waking up and seeing Ou Qishen, and she immediately screamed.

Hearing the screams, Lin Chuyun's lips curled slightly. At least her efforts to get soaked in the lotus pond hadn't been in vain.

Lin Chuyun had just spotted Ou Qishen nearby. If anyone fell into the water, he would be the first to arrive. Sure enough, he was the first to jump into the lotus pond.

However, the people from Qianyi's side didn't look too good. Although Yiguo hadn't explicitly said what to do in this situation, everyone could see it now, especially the other people who were proposing marriage.

Naturally, they might have some dissatisfaction with Lin Jin, so whether Lin Jin can successfully marry Qian Yi depends on Qian Yi's attitude.

Soon Lin Chuyun returned to the courtyard, changed into clean clothes, and saw that Aunt Yu also looked like she had just returned from outside. She quickly pulled Lin Chuyun over.

"Why did Lin Jin say you pushed her down?! They're coming to confront you now, you'd better hide!"

Lin Chuyun looked at the person walking towards her, but it was too late.

"How dare you, Lin Chuyun, push my son into the water! Kneel down before me!"

Seeing Luo Yue arrive with a large group of people, looking very aggressive, it was clear that this was a matter concerning the Lin family. None of the other suitors had come, but she had brought many servants, making it seem like she would attack Lin Chuyun if she didn't kneel down.

"What are you talking about? Why are you saying I pushed her into the water? Did you hear it from Lin Jin? Have you forgotten that you're her mother, of course you'll protect her?"

Luo Yue looked at Lin Chuyun, wondering why she hadn't realized Lin Chuyun was so eloquent before.

"Jin'er has fallen into the water, and you're still clean. You're the only one in the whole mansion who's been targeting Jin'er. Who else could it be but you!"

"What if she pushed me into the lotus pond?"

"How could Jin'er push you into the lotus pond? She's the one who fell in!"

"Does that mean the person who pushes someone into the water won't fall in?"

"Do you look like you fell down? Aren't you clean?!"

Lin Chuyun smiled, having just wanted her to say that. She then took out the dress she had just changed out of; the dress still had lotus leaves floating on it, and even some mud underneath.

"Then what is this?"

Luo Yue was speechless when she saw the dress, after all, she had just said that pushing someone wouldn't cause them to fall into the water.

"Perhaps you threw your dress into the lotus pond yourself. Guards, tie her up and bring her before the old lady!"

Lin Chuyun watched as the group approached her, when suddenly a voice came from behind them.

"What if I saw it?"

Lin Chuyun watched as Qian Yi approached her. Qian Yi walked up to her and looked at Luo Yue.

"Madam Prime Minister, what if I said I saw the eldest young lady push the third young lady into the lotus pond, and then she herself fell in as well?"

Although Luo Yue didn't trust Lin Chuyun, she had to believe what Qian Yi said, since no matter how you looked at it, Qian Yi had no reason to hide anything for Lin Chuyun.

"Young Master, what are you doing here? No..."

"Madam Prime Minister, I believe my mother has already mentioned this matter. It seems I am not destined for the eldest young lady; there might be a better candidate."

Finally, Luo Yue arrived in a huff but left dejectedly. Qian Yi walked last, handing a handkerchief from his sleeve to Lin Chuyun.

"You deliberately left this behind, didn't you? Just for what happened earlier, right?"

Lin Chuyun took the handkerchief. She knew that if anything happened to Lin Jin and her, Luo Yue would definitely come after her. So, she "accidentally" left a handkerchief behind as she left.

"What are you saying, Your Highness? This handkerchief was specially prepared for me by my aunt. It would be such a shame to lose it."

Qian Yi couldn't help but chuckle. Lin Chuyun looked up at Qian Yi.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that you accidentally lost your handkerchief."

After watching Qian Yi leave, Lin Chuyun's smile faded. She had essentially taken a gamble, and clearly won. However, she knew her clumsy acting would be noticed by Qian Yi, but it didn't matter; as long as Qian Yi came this time, that was enough.

Lin Chuyun watched as Aunt Yu stood to the side, curiously staring at Qian Yi.

"Auntie, what are you doing?"

"Ah Yun, tell me the truth, is this young master...?"

Lin Chuyun immediately stopped her.

"Auntie, don't think about anything else. It's not true. There's no way we could be together. Alright, alright, I'm tired from swimming in the lotus pond."

Lin Chuyun quickly ran away; she didn't want to continue being questioned about her relationship with Qian Yi.

When Lin Chuyun woke up, she heard them say that Lin Jin absolutely refused to marry Ou Qishen and had been crying and making a scene all afternoon. They said that she only calmed down a little after Lin Qiyu left.

However, this matter had already been known to those who had come to propose marriage, especially Marquis Wen Yue. After all, Ou Qishen was a future marquis and possessed considerable power.

How could anyone tolerate Lin Jin being so picky about Ou Qishen? But in the end, Lin Jin was still betrothed to Ou Qishen. In fact, Ou Qishen had already developed feelings for Lin Jin long before.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent someone to arrange the marriage. But this time, their wish has been fulfilled. Lin Chuyun thought of Lin Jin's appearance. Actually, as long as Lin Jin hadn't made a move, none of the subsequent events would have happened.

Perhaps in the end, Qianyi will be unable to resist his family's arrangements and will allow Lin Jin to marry him. But as long as Lin Jin takes action, this series of events can be considered revenge for the original owner of this body.

Not long after, news of internal strife spread throughout the Li Kingdom, saying that the eldest and second princes were locked in a fierce battle, and in the end, the eldest prince seized the throne.

Just as Lin Chuyun was wondering why the Fifth Prince hadn't taken action, she heard that the First Prince had died suddenly on the spot during his coronation the next day.

After the previous struggles, the remaining princes were either dead or suffered terrible fates, leaving only the healthy fifth prince as the sole heir to the throne. It was then that everyone discovered that the fifth prince had been secretly instigating a conflict between the eldest and second princes.

But by this time, the Fifth Prince had already consolidated his power, and even if others discovered this, they couldn't say anything. The first thing the Fifth Prince did upon ascending the throne was to send envoys to various countries, hoping to sign peace treaties.
