Chapter 98.1

Wait, theres another person inside the carriage!

It was a woman whose posture seemed somewhat familiar.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Upon closer inspection, the Ninth Prince was shocked and dismayed!

For that person was none other than Chai Yuxin, the senior sister he had been longing for day and night, unable to get her out of his mind!

They they are actually sitting together in the same carriage?

The Ninth Prince was utterly taken aback!

This was a case of a man and a woman alone together in the same room!

In this era, social etiquette was very strict; there was to be no physical contact between men and women unless they shared a close relationship. If the relationship wasnt intimate enough, it was necessary to avoid any suspicion. Being in the same room together was something that certainly required avoidance of any impropriety, yet they were sitting together in a carriage!

Although it was just a carriage, it was still a room!

And such a small space at that, how could they do this?

Dont overthink it! Theyve been living together since they were young, their relationship is just like siblings! Yes, thats right! Just like that, dont scare yourself

The Ninth Prince tried to console himself but still felt a greenish tinge creeping over his head.

Meanwhile, inside the carriage, Lin Beifan let out a slight smile: Yuxin, Im feeling a bit cold, come closer!

Alright! Chai Yuxin didnt think much of it.

With the freezing weather and His Majesty not being skilled in martial arts, it was normal for him to feel cold.

So she moved closer, and the two of them sat very close together.

The Ninth Princes face turned green with envy in an instant: Theyre actually sticking together!

He harbored an affectionate admiration for his senior sister, and in his quest to win her favor, he always conducted himself with restraint and propriety, gentle and refined, maintaining a certain distance. Even coming within three feet of her made him feel guilty.

Yet, to his dismay, the other man was so close to her that he could feel her warmth!

Beast! the Ninth Prince clenched his teeth.

He wished he could eliminate Lin Beifan and take his place!

Dont overthink it! The carriage is so small, its understandable that they sit close to each other, its not a big deal!

The Ninth Prince tried to console himself once more, but his eyes inevitably reddened with emotion.

Jealousy flared red.

At that moment, Lin Beifan spoke again, Yuxin, my hands are a bit cold!

Cold hands? Let me see!

Without much thought, Chai Yuxin grabbed Lin Beifans hand and said, Indeed, theyre quite cold. Its easy to catch a chill in cold weather. Ill warm them up for you.

As she spoke, she held Lin Beifans hand, channeling True Qi into it.

Their hands theyre actually holding each other!

The Ninth Princes face turned green once more, his eyes redder, trembling with rage.

After all these years, he hadnt even touched the skin of his senior sister, and yet here they were, holding hands?

And shes holding on so tightly!

The Ninth Prince was driven to madness by jealousy, a resentful roar echoing in his heart.

You lowlife, let go of her!

Quickly remove your claws from senior sisters delicate hands!

Youre not worthy; let me do it!

Dont overthink it! Maybe its just because the weather is cold, and theyre warming each other! Senior sister is very kind-hearted, taking care of her younger brother is only natural! Hes just her brother, after all! The Ninth Prince comforted himself once again.

Lin Beifan waved his hand at the right moment: Forget it. Havent you seen him squatting on the cart the whole time? Perhaps his legs are disabled!

Yes, Your Majesty! The Imperial Guard stepped back.

Lin Beifan turned to look at Chai Yuxin: Yuxin, is this really your junior brother?

This I might have mistaken someone else!

Chai Yuxin said hesitantly: The junior brother I know is a prince of the dynasty with a noble identity and an extraordinary temperament. He definitely wouldnt look like this!

Lin Beifan nodded in agreement: Indeed, which prince would eat cow dung?

Ninth Prince:

Hearing Lin Beifans words, Chai Yuxin became even more certain that she had mistaken someone else. Normal people cant even eat cow dung, let alone a pampered prince?

Lin Beifan turned his head and asked: What is your name? Where are you from? Who else is in your family?

I the Ninth Prince racked his brains, trying to think of a way to bluff.

Lin Beifan pointed to his own head and asked, You need to think so long over such a simple question, you dont seem too bright. Could there be something wrong with your brain?

The old man beside them immediately explained, Your Majesty, youve actually hit the nail on the head! When I encountered him yesterday, he was acting crazy, crying and laughing, and even claimed he had encountered ghost hitting the wall! But in broad daylight, where would there be any ghost hitting the wall?

It seems he really does have a problem with his brain. You poor thing!

Lin Beifan took a silver ingot from the eunuch accompanying him and tossed it to the Ninth Prince, saying, This money is for you. Use it to buy some new clothes and have a good meal, and stop eating cow dung. That stuff isnt healthy!

The Ninth Prince stared blankly at the silver ingot at his feet.

Was I just mistaken for a beggar and given alms?

And the person who gave me the alms is the rival who stole my woman?

Ninth Prince immediately felt a great sense of humiliation and refused to accept the silver.

Seeing Ninth Prince standing there in a daze, the old man beside him became anxious: What are you standing there for? Why arent you kneeling down to thank your benefactor for his generosity?

Thank my benefactor for his generosity?

And should this ben gong kneel to him?

Thats absolutely impossible!

The Ninth Prince stood tall and proud, declaring it in his heart,

In this life, I will kneel to the heavens, to the earth, and to my parents, but I will never kneel to a love rival!

Nor will I accept charity!

This is the last bit of dignity and pride of a man!

The old man, seeing the unmoved Ninth Prince, grew even more anxious: Your Majesty, please wait, he might be acting foolish again and not knowing what to do. Let this commoner help him!

With that, he stood up and forcefully bent Ninth Princes waist down.

Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness!

Lin Beifan, with a face beaming with great joy, exclaimed, Good!

Ninth Prince:

Following that, Lin Beifan and Chai Yuxin returned to the carriage and continued on their journey.

The Ninth Prince watched Lin Beifans departing figure, trembling with rage, and gritted his teeth, The grudge of stealing a woman and the humiliation inflicted upon me are irreconcilable! Sooner or later, I will repay this a hundredfold, no, a thousandfold!

At that moment, the cow dung juice that was smeared on his face began to drip into his mouth.

Ninth Prince: Cough cough
