Chapter 489: Chapter 489: The Wind Rises and the Waves Swell (3)_1

Hearing her refer to herself, many aristocratic young ladies showed a sneer on their faces. Indeed, she must come from a small family, she doesn’t even know how to address herself. In such an important occasion, she should have referred to herself as ’this girl’. She dares to use ’I’ in front of the old lady and the Prince, she really has no manners at all.

"A good child indeed." The old lady’s tolerance towards Lin Ziyin exceeded many people’s expectations.

"Honglin didn’t even send someone to notify us in advance, it caught me off guard, and unfairly burdened this girl." The old lady complained while ordering someone to bring a box from her room.

The people around her moved quickly, and before long, a maid presented an exquisitely carved box.

The old lady handed the box to Lin Ziyin,"The things in this box were given to me by my mother when I got married. Now I pass them onto you, hope you take good care of the Prince in the future. This boy has been living alone for too many years, he’s too lonely."

Lin Ziyin could hear the regret and self-blame in her tone. Although she didn’t know what was in the box, it was made of pear wood, carved so delicately, and given that it was the dowry of the old lady, she knew this gift was too valuable.

She hesitated and looked at Chu Suifeng.

"What are you looking at him for? Although I told you to take care of this boy, it doesn’t mean you have to consider his feelings in everything you do." Without allowing her to refuse, the old lady stuffed the box into her hands.

There was a full smile on Chu Suifeng’s face, he seemed to enjoy the harmonious scene between the old lady and Lin Ziyin.

"Grandmother, I am the real relative here," he joked. Those around them, whether sincerely or not, burst out laughing.

"You are already so grown-up, do you still want to be jealous of your own wife?" The old lady laughed and scolded.

"Why wouldn’t I be jealous? You gave her such a big gift upon first meeting her, and yet I never see you giving me anything." Chu Suifeng was joking around with her, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

"Miss Lin is talented and smart, it’s not surprising that the old lady takes a liking to her. The Prince, you can’t steal her spotlight." The Si Old Lady joked.

"That’s right! Old lady, save some time for us later." The Wu Old Lady also said with a smile, "These days, we’ve been wanting to find her."

"Look at that, just as she’s arrived, you guys are already trying to take her away from me." The Li Old Lady also joined in the jovial conversation.

"Miss Lin will be your granddaughter-in-law in the future, old lady, you can see her whenever you want. Unlike us, trying to meet her is not easy. She’s a busy woman." Luo Old Lady chimed in with a smile.

The atmosphere suddenly became very lively.

Li Yanran and Lady You, standing behind Lady Li, were bulging their eyes in disbelief. They knew the value of the gift Lady Li had bestowed upon Lin Ziyin. They had tried to curry favor with Lady Li many times hoping to receive this box, but Lady Li never hinted that she would give it to them.

They didn’t expect Lady Li to present this box as a gift to Lin Ziyin, who she just met. Why? Why? The eyes of the two ladies turned red with envy.

"This officer pays his respects to the Prince." As they were talking, the men from the other courtyard came over to offer their salutations to Chu Suifeng.

"You’re excused." Chu Suifeng, seemingly in a good mood, greeted them with a continuous smile.

"Si Jinyu, Luo Yanlan, I leave my queen to you." He turned his head to look at two beautiful girls in the courtyard and instructed. "I’m going to the front yard, if there’s anything, just have a maid come to tell me."

"The Prince, rest assured, with Grandmother and two young ladies here, I will take good care of myself." Lin Ziyin lightly promised.
