Chapter 325: Chapter 325 Zige Gets Married(7)_1

"She is nothing but a peasant girl, what are you vying with her for? You just ended up belittling your own status. Haven’t you considered that every woman in the back courtyard of the prince’s residence has a status that is higher than that peasant girl?" Marquis Li chastised her in frustration.

"Even though the women in the back courtyard have high status, the prince has never looked at them. But it’s different with the Lin Family. The prince practically lives there now. Every time I think of that damned girl, I feel uncomfortable." Li Yanran raged.

"Can you think a bit?" Marquis Li calmed down, his tone heavier, "The prince stays there because Lin Ziyin can bring him benefits. Do you think the prince really fancies her?"

"What benefits could a peasant girl bring to the prince? She just provides a vegetarian feast, is the prince really lacking in some silver?" Li Yanran retorted indignantly.

"It’s not just about the vegetarian feast. I heard that Lin Ziyin even tried to grow green vegetables in winter. The prince has always focused on the livelihood of the people and naturally pays great attention to this matter. The prince’s estates, and the Ding’an Temple, they all followed that girl’s lead to build greenhouses. Given your hostility towards the Lin family at this moment, it would be strange if the prince does not hold resentment towards you." Marquis Li became more and more displeased with his own daughter’s stupidity. "Rather than speculating randomly, you should consider how to win the prince’s heart. In the end, a woman’s reliance is a man. As long as you capture the prince’s heart, why fear other women vying for him?"

Li Yanran cried bitterly, but she also understood that her father was genuinely concerned about her, so she nodded lightly.

"You are grounded in the residence for two months, take this time to reflect on your actions." In the end, Marquis Li sighed and issued a house arrest order directly.

"No, father." Li Yanran certainly did not want to be grounded in the courtyard for two months.

"The Li family must give the prince some sort of explanation. If you continue this nonsense, I will send you to Jiang City." Marquis Li saw her still throwing tantrums and was instantly furious.

"You should practice your zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting in the courtyard, and not think about anything else." Lady Mu sighed and pat her back to comfort her.

Lady Yu lowered her eyelids, laughing inwardly. However, she did not expect her husband to be on the same side as Li Yanran. Truly, like brother like sister, both were dim-witted. With this thought, she sighed secretly again.

"Get these beans sent to the Lin family." Within the Prince Ling’s residence, Chu Suifeng coldly issued the order while looking at the beans in the storeroom.

"Yes, your highness." Butler Bai Xian obediently responded, and made arrangements.

Not long after, a maid from the back courtyard sneaked back and reported to a beautiful woman, "His highness has sent the beans to the Lin family."

"I got it. Spread the word, tell the crown prince not to act hastily, Border City has enough provisions." The beautiful woman spoke.

"Yes, Miss." The maid responded respectfully, before quietly withdrawing.

The Lin Family had been worried about raw materials a few days ago, but in the blink of an eye, Chu Suifeng sent over so many beans. Lin Changshu and the old master smiled so much that their eyes became slits with joy as they watched workers moving sacks of beans into the workshop.

Lin Ziyin, however, sighed to herself. The prince was indeed crafty. After some interaction, she had come to understand Chu Suifeng somewhat. Sly and cunning was the true nature of Prince Ling. Sending so many beans to the Lin family out of the blue, the man must want to gain more from her.

After thinking it through, Lin Ziyin felt a bit taken advantage of. It indeed isn’t pleasant to do one-sided business!

As the days slowly passed, the day of Zige’s marriage to Wu Dayou finally arrived.

Because the workers needed to be at the workshop, after discussing, the Wu Family and the Lin Family decided to hold the wedding jointly. This way, it was lively without affecting work at the workshop.

"Sister, this is what big brother and sister-in-law prepared for you. I hope you won’t find it too little." Lin Changshu and Guo Huiniang handed a small box to Lin Zige.

When Lin Zige opened the box and saw one hundred taels of silver and a silver note underneath, she was so frightened that she immediately gave it back to Lin Changshu, "Big brother, it’s too much silver, I can’t accept it. Yan Zhi will need silver when he grows up, but I won’t lack it. Are you trying to make me unable to rest easy?"

"No, our parents passed away early, and I don’t have many skills, so this is all I can give. A girl should have some silver upon marriage. It is necessary," Lin Changshu said. Even though Wu Dayou was not living far away, he was still reluctant to part with Zige, and felt worried. "I’ve also saved up some silver over the past half year."

"Brother, I also have a share in the workshop. Do you think I don’t know how much silver you all have? Don’t forget that I also have as much as you do. You don’t have to worry about me. Over the years, big brother and sister-in-law have been the ones who suffered the most hardships. Zige always remembers the kindness of big brother and sister-in-law." Zige started crying as she spoke.

Lin Changshu’s eyes turned red, while Guo Huiniang cried even harder.

"The makeup has just been applied and the bride starts crying. The makeup on her face is going to be washed off." Sister-in-law Bai and the others felt a sourness in their hearts as they watched and they came over to comfort her.

"Yes, the hour is late. The groom’s wedding procession should arrive soon. We mustn’t miss the auspicious time." Sister-in-law Guihua also advised from the side.
