Chapter 391: Chapter 391 Tokens (3)_1

"Punish them?" Lin Ziyin looked at Chu Suifeng in surprise. "What did they do wrong?"

"They were responsible for taking care of you, but they didn’t do a good job. They should be punished." Chu Suifeng explained, holding a food tray in one hand and leading her with the other.

Upon hearing this, Qiaoqiao was on the verge of tears. Ziyin had fainted, and she had been severely reprimanded by her parents and brother. She already felt guilty enough. Now, seeing Chu Suifeng punish Hong Ying and Lu Luo, her guilt towards Lin Ziyin deepened.

"I will also take my punishment." With a thud, Qiaoqiao knelt before Lin Ziyin.

"You are mine, I don’t have so many rules," Lin Ziyin spoke languidly. "Besides, it was not your fault today."

She didn’t blame the three maids, but she didn’t plead for Hong Ying and Lu Luo either.

It was clear who was more important to her. Hong Ying and Lu Luo lowered their heads in shame even more.

Now they understood. They had always looked down upon Lin Ziyin, but they had done their jobs conscientiously because they were following the prince’s orders. Ziyin, as their mistress, didn’t complain about them, but what was lacking was the genuine affection she showed Qiaoqiao.

Hearing this, Chu Suifeng’s face got colder. "After you go back, don’t come here again. Have Bai Ling and Huang Dai come instead."

"Please spare us, my lady," Hong Ying and Lu Luo kept bowing their heads, "we know we were wrong. From now on, we will take care of you conscientiously. Please give us another chance."

Hong Ying was very smart. She knew it was better to plead with Lin Ziyin than with Chu Suifeng. After all, Lin Ziyin, the mistress, was much more approachable than the prince.

"Please give us another chance," Lu Luo also didn’t argue, just kept bowing her head forcefully, demonstrating her remorse with her actions.

"Having Qiaoqiao by my side is enough." Lin Ziyin looked indifferently at the two of them, as if she was nobody’s fool. Just as Hong Ying and Lu Luo had guessed, Lin Ziyin had long known that these two maids were proud and didn’t take her seriously as their mistress. However, they were diligent, and everything she ordered was done well without any flaws.

But who would like it if those close to them harbored ill will against them? They could only be kept at a distance. Today, Chu Suifeng’s chastisement of Hong Ying and Lu Luo agreed with Lin Ziyin’s sentiments.

Hong Ying and Lu Luo were filled with regret. Serving the queen — the prince’s most beloved, was a great honor. This pie from heaven had fallen onto their laps, but they had ruined it themselves. The sounds of their bowing echoed continuously. The two were truly repentant and did it with great force. In a short while, both Hong Ying and Lu Luo’s foreheads turned blue and swollen.

"Get out," Chu Suifeng remained unmoved, his tone devoid of any emotion.

"My lady." Hong Ying and Lu Luo didn’t dare to let their tears fall, continuing to bow their heads.

"You can stay. But remember, your only master is me. If you commit this again..." Lin Ziyin looked coldly at the two of them.

Only her?

Hong Ying and Lu Luo trembled inside, then both looked up at Lin Ziyin and firmly replied, "Starting from today, in our hearts, there is only you as our mistress."

Their eyes and tone were both determined.

Lin Ziyin nodded in satisfaction, "Go now."

This time, the two maids didn’t spare Chu Suifeng a glance, nor did they hesitate, and walked away.

"If you don’t eat soon, it will get cold." Lin Changshu finally dared to speak. Seeing Chu Suifeng punish the two maids for no discernible reason, Lin Changshu, Wu Dayou and others felt great pressure. Especially since Ziyin seemed very dissatisfied with the two maids. The family felt uncomfortable and even a bit inferior.
