Chapter 487: Chapter 487: The Wind Rises and the Waves Swell (1)_1
There was a woman by the reclusive Prince’s side; everyone’s eyes fell on Lin Ziyin.
These eyes were mostly filled with curiosity and jealousy. Having chosen to follow Chu Suifeng, Lin Ziyin was well prepared for this.
In the face of complex gazes, she stood quietly beside Chu Suifeng. The smile on her face was also faint, making people feel at ease.
Among the guests at the Marquis residence, many knew Lin Ziyin, like the people from the Si Family, Luo Family, and Wu Family. The elderly ladies and ladies from the three families looked at Lin Ziyin with complex eyes, in thoughtful recollections, wondering if they had ever slighted Lin Ziyin in the past.
No matter what the Prince’s motive for bringing Lin Ziyin was or what her future status was, just based on Chu Suifeng’s attitude towards her today, no one in Feng City or even the entire Northern Land would dare to offend her.
From the moment Lin Ziyin appeared, Li Yanran looked at her with venomous eyes. Was this woman naturally her enemy? Why was she standing by her cousin’s side? That position was clearly supposed to be hers.
An enemy in love is more loathsome upon sight. Li Yanran ranked Lin Ziyin as her number one enemy in her heart.
"Prince." Marquis Li was the first to step forward, breaking the silence in the courtyard.
"No need for formalities, Marquis," Chu Suifeng responded symbolically by lifting his hand. Hearing him call himself Marquis, Marquis Li’s heart trembled, a wise man would have been able to hear how distant Chu Suifeng was from him.
Chu Suifeng didn’t have time to deal with Marquis Li. His purpose here was not for him.
"Follow me to pay respects to my maternal grandmother." Chu Suifeng turned to Lin Ziyin and whispered softly. "Don’t be afraid, she is a kind old woman."
Lin Ziyin nodded slightly.
Chu Suifeng, known as the War God in the Northern Land, always wore a stern face and killing aura in public. Almost no one had seen him with the gentle expression he wore today for Lin Ziyin, which dumbfounded many people.
"Honglin." The old lady called out to Chu Suifeng.
Chu Suifeng walked over in a few steps and replied softly in front of the old lady, "Grandmother, today I brought someone important to meet you."
The old lady’s eyes had been on Lin Ziyin for a while. She followed Chu Suifeng’s gaze, and her sight fell on Lin Ziyin again.
Lin Ziyin wore a goose-yellow dress, a white bodice, a bright yellow waistband around her waist, and not too many ornaments on her head, just a jade hairpin and two small pink silk flowers. She wasn’t extraordinary in appearance, but she was rather radiant, giving people a comfortable feeling.
What attracted the old lady’s attention the most was not Lin Ziyin herself, but the jade bracelet on her wrist. She recognized that bracelet; strictly speaking, it originated from her maternal family. Even as the legitimate daughter, she did not get that bracelet. Her mother had directly passed it on to her daughter.
The significance of the jade bracelet was clear. The old lady thought of the words her granddaughter and son had pleaded with her a few days ago. Her mood immediately became heavy.
She was aware that Chu Suifeng was not particularly fond of his two sons, and he didn’t like her granddaughter, Li Yanran. But what can be done even if she knew it? Both sides are flesh and blood to her. She loved her grandson Chu Suifeng, but the children of the Li family were her children and grandchildren as well. She was old and genuinely hoped to see harmony and happiness among her children and grandchildren in her lifetime.
Back then, the Li family had to relocate to the Northern Land with their whole family under the oppression of the emperor. If she were to pass away, and the Li family lost the protection of the Prince, they would soon be expelled from the aristocratic families of the Northern Land.
