Chapter 488: Chapter 488 Turbulence (2)_1

If such consequences were to occur, she wouldn’t know to how face the ancestors of the Li Family in the afterlife.

"Cousin, you are intending for Grandmother to introduce Miss Lin, aren’t you?" Li Yanran, fearing that Chu Suifeng would utter something earth-shattering, preemptively broke the silence.

She looked at Lin Ziyin with a beamish smile, as if they were long-lost sisters, and said, "Grandmother, this Miss Lin is quite remarkable. The local roast duck restaurant, and even the Vegetarian Feast at Ding’an Temple, were both opened in partnership with Cousin."

Miss Lin? Lin Ziyin chuckled softly. She knew exactly what sort of person Li Yanran was. This young girl was scheming and malicious, petty and jealous; Lin Ziyin would definitely not become friends with such a person.

She was sure Li Yanran was burning with rage at this moment – wishing to tear her apart – yet still addressing her so affectionately. One would wonder whether she felt stifled at such hypocrisy.

Of course Li Yanran felt stifled; her inward rage could burn Lin Ziyin to ashes. Unfortunately for her, Chu Suifeng’s presence kept her in check!

Ignoring Li Yanran’s words, Chu Suifeng turned around, took hold of Lin Ziyin, and led her to meet the Old Lady.

Congyi found two cotton pads from somewhere and placed them on the ground. Chu Suifeng, pulling Lin Ziyin along, kneeled down, saying, "Grandmother has been urging me to get married. Today, Honglin presents his wife for your inspection."

His wife? Li Yanran’s head spun as her world started swirling around. She looked at Chu Suifeng tearfully, yet dared not speak. While she harbored deep resentment for Lin Ziyin, she also blamed Chu Suifeng. Did her cousin not understand the implications of the term ’wife’?

Marquis Li and Lady Mu were taken aback. The guests around them no longer dared to study Lin Ziyin insolently.

They also understood the meaning of Chu Suifeng’s words.

While Si Jinyu felt a faint sigh of regret, she remained calm with her head down. Suddenly, Old Lady Si quietly reached out to hold her hand.

Nearly to the point of tears, Si Jinyu clasped Old Lady Si’s hand back fiercely.

"She’s your grandmother, a woman I deeply respect. From now on, you should also call her grandmother," Chu Suifeng turned to Lin Ziyin once more.

"Grandmother," Lin Ziyin obediently responded.

Everyone held their breath, awaiting the Old Lady’s response.

Despite Lin Ziyin’s prowess, she lacked in terms of status. If the Old Lady opposed this union, would the Prince fall out with her?

"Ziyin is a gentle and thoughtful woman. She will surely manage the Wang Residence well and take good care of my grandson. I will not let her, a woman I am fond of, be wronged." Chu Suifeng firmly held Lin Ziyin’s right hand, disregarding the outrageousness of his public display of affection.

With each word Chu Suifeng spoke, Li Yanran felt as if her heart were dripping blood. She had harbored feelings for Chu Suifeng for many years and never heard him speak so tenderly to her. She anxiously waited for the Old Lady’s decision.

"Good child." The Old Lady’s face was plastered with a warm smile. After Lin Ziyin and Chu Suifeng had given her three formal bows, she gently helped Lin Ziyin to her feet and inspected her carefully. Her gaze revealed an elder’s affection for the younger generation.

"Honglin is always preoccupied with state affairs, he has no experience in taking care of a girl." The Old Lady held onto Lin Ziyin’s hand tightly, showing no intention to let go, as Lin Ziyin felt mildly uncomfortable.

She was never fond of being too close to unfamiliar people. Despite feeling the Old Lady’s goodwill towards her, she still felt discomfort. However, she didn’t resist, choosing instead to smile at the Old Lady, "I am honored by your affection for me, Grandmother. The Prince treats me very well."
