Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Risky Move(2)_1

"The Prince inherited the Empress Dowager’s temperament." Mei Hanqing answered.

Madam Mei thought of that smart and beautiful figure from the past, her eyes becoming misty. Back then, the Empress Dowager was the most famous talented woman in the world. Not only was she gifted, but also beautiful. No wonder both the late emperor and the current emperor were deeply fond of her. Yet, such a kind-hearted woman met such a tragic end. It indeed confirmed the ancient saying, ’there is no kindness in the imperial household’.

If Prince Ling becomes powerful in the Northern Land, would he also become heartless like the emperor?

At this thought, Madam Mei sighed melancholically, dampening her joy of moving into the new house.

"You do not need to worry." Mei Hanqing softly comforted his wife, "The Prince’s temperament is like the Empress Dowager’s and is completely unlike the emperor’s. He wouldn’t be heartless. If we delve deeper, our Mei Family is here to repay a favor."

Madam Mei did not speak, she just gripped the large hand that reached out to her, "No matter what you do, I will always follow. My only hope is that in the end, the Mei family can have a good outcome."

"Father." In this moment of melancholy, Mei Junrui and his two brothers came to greet their parents.

Mei Hanqing and Madam Mei looked at them, their hearts instantly warmed.

"Have everything been arranged?" Mei Hanqing asked. All three sons were proficient in both civil and military virtues. For many years, he took great pains to cultivate them, with the aim of having them shield and shelter the Prince in the Northern Land.

"Yes, father, don’t worry. Everyone has been arranged properly." Mei Junrui answered respectfully.

Mei Hanqing nodded with satisfaction. He had done well in educating his children. None of them opposed his decision to move to the Northern Land. Even their daughters-in-law had no complaints.

A harmonious home can build a strong nation. What else could he be dissatisfied with?

"My lord, should I go to the Wang Residence tomorrow to deliver the card?" Madam Mei asked tentatively.

"No need." Mei Hanqing shook his head, "The Prince has said that we should not get close to those women in the backyard of the Wang Residence. Even if you meet them, just mind your own business. If they try to take advantage of you, there’s no need to maintain their face."

Madam Mei opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Those are just things sent by the officials and nobility in the Capital City." Mei Hanqing sighed. It would be somewhat rebellious if this was heard outside. After all, although there was no main consort in the Wang Residence, there were several consorts, most of whom were legitimate daughters or second daughters from notable families in the Capital City.

The Prince’s attitude towards them was actually so indifferent?

"If you have time, you can visit the Luo Family, Wu Family, and Si Family more often." Mei Hanqing instructed.

"Shouldn’t I go to the Li Residence?" Madam Mei asked nervously.

Mei Hanqing thought for a moment, then replied, "You can go visit the Old Madam, but there’s no need to bother with the others."

"I understand." Madam Mei’s eyes lit up. Although she did not come from a high background, she was very smart and would not drag her husband down.

"In Feng City, you should understand what kind of people you should make friends with, right?" Mei Hanqing started to instruct his sons again.

"The three lords are not in Feng City these days." Mei Junrui answered softly.

"You just arrived in Feng City, it would be good to make more friends and learn more about the situation in Feng City." Mei Hanqing repeatedly reminded.

"Yes, father." The second son, Mei Junlu, obediently answered.

The arrival of Mei Hanqing and his family indeed relieved Chu Suifeng, and the news was not deliberately hidden. Very soon, those women in the backyard got to know about it through their own means.
