Chapter 390: Chapter 390 Tokens (2)_1

Words and glances from Chu Suifeng left everyone stunned as if bewitched.

Lin Ziyin forced a bitter smile, seeing the bewildered looks on everyone’s faces, and sighed inwardly. Regardless of Chu Suifeng’s motives, today her reputation was irrevocably tarnished. However, luckily for her, she did not care much about it.

"Sister, mind your prenatal education." She gently pulled down sister Zige’s arm and chuckled as she nudged her into the house.

"Grandfather, were you frightened by Ziyin?" As she approached the old masters’ faces, Lin Ziyin’s gaze held a trace of guilt.

The old master too was startled by Chu Suifeng’s unexpected tenderness. Hearing Lin Ziyin’s words, he finally came to his senses and looked at Ziyin with anxiety. "My child, knowing well that your health isn’t good, why did you stand under the sun for so long?"

"My Sister." Lin Changshu and Guo Huiniang thought about what the doctor and Jue Yuan had said and felt somewhat timid and weak. Ziyin’s fainting was due to her body’s excessive depletion, and much of that was their own failure as brother and sister-in-law.

Especially Lin Changshu, who had seen his siblings and the old master as his responsibility since their parents’ death.

"I fainted because I stood too long under the sun. I’ll be more careful in future. I apologize for causing everyone worry today." Witnesses like Bai Chunsheng and Lou Zheng wanted to speak but were afraid of Chu Suifeng’s expression. Lin Ziyin decided to express her self-reproach first. "Y’all have been waiting till now without even having lunch, didn’t you?"

"It’s still early in the day, and we have had our lunch, we’re not hungry. As for you, from morning until now, you haven’t eaten anything, surely you must be starving?" Zhang was concerned.

"Exactly, I nearly died of hunger." Lin Ziyin replied playfully. "In summer, no matter how much I eat, I don’t gain weight, I’m not planning on losing anymore."

"You are already so thin, what do you need to lose?" Zige glared at her.

"Serve dinner." Chu Suifeng ordered coldly.

"Yes, Prince." Hong Ying put the small dishes she held onto the table.

Everyone...

Was this not a clear sign for all to leave?

"Since she has woken up and all is well, we should leave." Lou Zheng was the first to take the hint, "Let’s disperse, everyone. We should go home and prepare meals."

"Yes, we should all go." Bai Chunsheng also stood to leave.

"Take care, everyone." Lin Changshu took responsibility for bidding adieu. The room that was full of people dispersed in an instant. Many people who had waited for Lin Ziyin did not even get a chance to speak with her.

"Prince, you haven’t had a bite to eat since noon. There’s hot food prepared for you in the kitchen, please join us for a meal in the flower hall." Lin Changshu walked up to Chu Suifeng’s face and bravely suggested.

This man hasn’t eaten yet? Lin Ziyin looked towards the stern face of Chu Suifeng, a warm feeling emerging in her heart. Knowing that someone was consistently concerned about her, and that their concern exceeded their self-care, was deeply moving.

At this moment, Lin Ziyin could not deny that she was moved.

"Prince, shall we eat together?" Lin Ziyin asked him.

"Hmm." Chu Suifeng, a man of few words, expressed his intention through action alone.

"Prince, allow me." Hong Ying cautiously advised Chu Suifeng who was staring at his dinner plate.

"Report to the Punishment Hall for self-punishment." Chu Suifeng sternly ordered, looking at Hong Ying and Lun Luo.

"Yes, Prince." Hong Ying and Lun Luo had been anxious since Lin Ziyin fainted. When Chu Suifeng ordered them to self-punish, they both secretly breathed out in relief.

Both servants understood that they escaped severe punishment because of Lin Ziyin. They were thankful that they escaped with their limbs intact and kept their heads on their shoulders. Therefore, their gratitude for Lin Ziyin was real and heartfelt.
