The Princess of Northern Land
Chapter 453 Losing Face (2)_1

"Yes, Miss." Everyone was clearly aware of Lin Ziyin’s importance in Chu Suifeng’s heart, treating her with utmost respect and dare not neglect her in the slightest.

"What are you holding me for?" He Bang was upset seeing that the two men were completely ignoring him while talking to Lin Ziyin. And the fact that the third man was still holding on to him only added salt to his wound.

"Someone, throw these men into the government office, and let the jailkeeper take good care of them." Hei Yi commanded with a cold sneer. As soon as his voice fell, several burly men came forward from behind the villagers.

The eyes of these newcomers were fixed on the He Family members, who were usually domineering but have never encountered such murderous gazes before. Not only did the faint-hearted He Lian and the An family’s child tremble with fear, the boisterous He Bang also gasped in fright.

"Sir, it’s a misunderstanding, truly a misunderstanding." He Zhen was fearful, but to protect his own family, he stepped forward, stammering with a hint of a smile, "My mother is old and can be a little confused in her actions. We truly came to visit our nephews and nieces, and now that we see they are doing well, we are relieved."

"Third one." The old lady was immediately unhappy after hearing this. When she had not seen the Lin Family’s courtyard, she had no intention of staying, just thinking of extorting more silver from the Lin Family. But now after seeing the courtyard, she was firmly set on staying.

The Lin Family’s courtyard was large and had servants attending to it. If she could stay there, she would be able to live comfortably for the rest of her life. "No matter what, I am their elder, they should respect me. If they do not respect me, I can complain at the government offices. The current emperor highly advocates filial piety after all."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ziyin couldn’t hold in her laugh. She didn’t expect the brutal old lady to even bring up the emperor when cornered.

So what about the emperor? Those who followed Chu Suifeng never held any good feelings towards the emperor, let alone be intimidated by a few words from the old lady.

"Since you like the government offices so much, why don’t you stay there for a while?" Hei Yi ordered sneeringly.

"Official, official, she’s just confused, please let her go." He Zhen, frightened, fell to his knees.

With Hei Yi and Hei Er remaining unm Moved, he continued to look at Lin Ziyin and Lin Changshu, begging pitifully, "Please, for the sake of our shared blood, let us go. As long as you let us go, we will never bother the Lin family in Shili Village again. Big brother, please, for the sake of our deceased father, please say something."

Chu Suifeng was not only respected for being the War God of the Northern Land, but was equally famous for his ruthlessness. He Zhen was no fool, he realized from the reverence shown by Hei Yi and Hei Er towards Lin Ziyin that the Lin Family was too powerful for them to challenge.

Wealth was important, but life was more valuable. Hence, after weighing up the situation, he had long dumped any thoughts of plotting against the Lin Family and He Fuxing’s household.

"Third brother, why are you such a coward?" He Bang simply did not believe that Hei Yi and Hei Er were Prince Ling’s men. In his view, the men were just pretending to intimidate them in front of everyone. He could not understand why his third brother did not consider for a moment, how could a formerly poor household like the Lin Family receive favor from Prince Ling?

"Yeah, third one. Get up. Why are you begging them? I don’t believe they really would dare to throw me into jail. I am their elder, no matter where I go, I have the truth on my side." The old lady of the He Family was even more unwilling to give in, and couldn’t bear to see her most trusted youngest son either.
