Chapter 484: Chapter 484: The Tomb King’s Wife(5)_1

She guessed that when Lin Changshu and Wu Dayou had this conversation, they might have only thought about the consequences of her rejecting Chu Suifeng’s marriage proposal due to him being upset, or that the Imperial Court might oppress the Lin Family. However, they would not have considered the most severe consequences.

She wasn’t Lin Changshu or Wu Dayou. As a modern elite businesswoman, she had experienced countless schemes and was able to see through all sorts of serious plots that she might face in the future.

"Don’t worry, I will tell you when I’ve figured it all out." Lin Ziyin explained with a faint smile.

"Don’t keep everything inside. Talk to someone about it," Zige pleaded, tears streaming down her face as she looked at her.

"You pregnant ladies, you better take care of yourselves. I’m not heading to the gallows." Lin Ziyin tried to lighten the mood, but unfortunately, her cool nature wasn’t suited for making jokes. Hearing her words, Zige cried even harder.

Guo Huiniang also began to cry, blaming herself for not being able to take better care of Ziyin.

After finally calming down these two weeping pregnant women, Lin Ziyin returned to her room. After completing her ablutions, she collapsed directly onto the bed. Her eyes closed, but she did not feel the slightest bit of drowsiness.

The words of the old master that night kept circling in her head, and she also thought about all the moments she had shared with Chu Suifeng. She was also considering the risks and troubles that could come her way if her status changed in the future.

In a haze, she forced herself to sleep until late in the night. Even in her sleep, she did not really calm down. The Chu Suifeng in her dreams seemed so real, watching her all night long.

The next day, she was woken up by Hong Ying and Qioqiao. She seemed lethargic throughout the day.

"Miss, are you not feeling well?" Qioqiao asked, her voice laden with concern.

"No." Lin Ziyin had something on her mind, but she wouldn’t discuss it with her maiden. After finishing her meal, she simply retreated into the secluded courtyard, continuing to work on the crossbow.

The maids watching her were all concerned. The family of the Lin clan watched her with pain in their hearts. However, all of them tacitly agreed not to press her on the matter since Lin Ziyin wasn’t speaking about it.

On the third day, Lin Ziyin returned to her usual self. The Lin family, not knowing her internal struggle and decisions, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

During this time, Chu Suifeng acted as if nothing had happened, still having gifts and nourishing supplements sent to the Lin household. Lin Ziyin, having gotten used to his pressure, obediently ate the prepared nourishment on time.

On the fifth day, the Wang Residence sent many valuable pieces of jewelry and freshly made clothes.

"Please try these on, miss." Hong Ying and Lun Luo seemed to guess some things and were extra cautious in their actions. They also often subtly revealed some information about the major aristocrats in Feng City to Lin Ziyin.

"That yellow one." Lin Ziyin randomly pointed at one vibrant and yet not ostentatious dress.

"Miss has fair skin. This yellow dress will compliment your complexion the most." Lun Luo complimented with a smile.

Lin Ziyin nodded, seeming somewhat absent-minded. Since that day, Chu Suifeng had disappeared like the wind. Every day, someone came to the house, but the one she wanted to see never showed up.

She began to wonder what made Chu Suifeng so confident. Wasn’t the Duke of Ling afraid that she might embarrass him at the last moment? Shouldn’t he have sent someone to teach her some "rules"?

Chu Suifeng was indeed relaxed about her. He didn’t show up at the Lin residence until the day of the birthday celebration.

Before dawn, he arrived at Shili Village to escort Lin Ziyin into the city.

"Have you figured it out?" Seeing Lin Ziyin all dressed up, the old master’s eyes moistened slightly. When had his little girl who used to play by his side grown up so much, to an extent that she could now take responsibility for the Lin Family, the Wang Residence, and even for the entire Northern Lands?
