Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Implementing Another Plan(2)_1

Without mentioning anything else, the hardship endured in the heavy snow was beyond description. Women, the elderly, and children talked about the harsh winter, although life was also very tough for them. They were all ordinary people, who could afford to spend so much silver just to keep a brazier burning for warmth all day long?

Now everything is so wonderful. The workplaces are as warm as the sunny March months. And at home, every family who works here now has a kang, a heated bed, keeping them warm when they get home. Every day they are paid in silver, so they no longer have to worry about a lack of money at home. Besides, they can afford to eat meat every now and then. They can also take care of their children, who don’t wander around after coming back but stay on the kang to practice writing and study.

Such a relaxing life was something everyone had hardly dared to think about in the past.

But now it’s right in front of them. As a result, every family that has got a job in the Lin family value their work greatly. The near assassination of Lin Ziyin, the family’s breadwinner, last night deeply concerned the villagers.

Through their period of work, everyone has come to realize that Lin Ziyin has been the backbone of the Lin family. If anything happens to Lin Ziyin, their good days might come to an end.

Because of this, everyone is striving to master martial arts. They think maybe in the future, if anyone again covets the Lin Family’s business and attacks, they might be able to lend a hand instead of sleeping deeply like last night.

"Qiaoqiao, let’s go home," Lin Ziyin whispered.

"Yes, Miss," Qiaoqiao responded, although she didn’t understand why she was leaving the training ground so early.

The master and her servant quietly left the training ground.

As Chu Suifeng, who was practicing combat with Yu Shaohui, saw the departing figures, he called over Congyi, whispering some instructions to him.

Upon receiving his command, Congyi also quietly departed.

After training in the heavy snow for a while, everyone was sweating profusely. However, they all enjoyed every bit of it. After the training, using the body heat from exercising, they formed two long lines, women and men, and jogged home.

Si Jinhan turned to Chu Suifeng, "Prince, our master has left. Are we going over there today?"

"If you want to return, go back by yourself," Chu Suifeng coldly glanced at him and then walked off silently with his guards towards Shili Village.

After one night, a thick layer of snow had piled up on the ground. The crunching sound echoed when people stepped on it, yet the footprints left by Chu Suifeng, Si Jinhan and others were shallow.

Upon reaching the Lin Family, they found that most of them were waiting for their arrival for a meal.

"Where’s the little girl?" Si Jinhan scanned around but didn’t see Lin Ziyin, which pretty puzzled him.

"Miss had a scare last night and wasn’t feeling well. She went to rest after finishing her meal," Lin Zige answered.

Chu Suifeng wasn’t pleased to hear this. He speculated that Lin Ziyin was trying to show her displeasure by ignoring them, probably because of some dissatisfaction about this morning’s training, the girl was becoming gutsy.

After eating, Si Jinhan, Chu Suifeng, and Situ Gong, as usual, came to the study to wait for Lin Ziyin’s lesson.

Unfortunately, they had been waiting for a long time but still didn’t see Lin Ziyin.

"Where is Lin Ziyin?" After waiting for nearly half the day, the Prince finally lost his temper. "Hasn’t her health improved yet, or should I send someone to check on her?"

Duoduo entered, slightly paralyzed by his fury. "Miss went to the market after having her meal," she answered.

"Why would she go to a market in such heavy snow?" Si Jinhan didn’t buy it.

"Young Miss is getting married next month, Miss went to the market to buy some things for her," Duoduo replied meticulously.
