Chapter 614: Chapter 614: This King Doesn’t Agree (2)_1

Thinking of that astute and kind-hearted old man, Lin Ziyin let out a soft sigh in her heart.

Chu Suifeng seemed to feel the sigh from the bottom of her heart, and while they were walking, he casually held her hand.

Lin Ziyin was slightly startled, then her face blushed. In ancient times, even if they were betrothed, Chu Suifeng’s intimate move could be considered reckless.

"You didn’t even listen to me when I told you to hold the soup urn. Look at you, your lips have turned purple from the cold," Chu Suifeng pulled her hand tighter, not letting her break free.

Lin Ziyin glared at him fiercely. "Prince, I am not cold," she said. Then, raising her hand to show it was gloved, she tried to pull away.

But Chu Suifeng didn’t give her the chance, firmly holding both her hands in his.

Lin Ziyin glared at him again, vexed. This guy, not yet married, had dared to tease her.

The Marquis Li, who fell half a step behind, caught sight of their playful interaction, freezing for a moment. Were they actually flirting right under his eyes? Then, the corners of his mouth curled up in a smirk.

If one looked closely, it would be clear that this smirk was not genuine but was derision towards Lin Ziyin.

Yes, derision. In the Marquis’ eyes, Lin Ziyin was low-born with the demeanor of a commoner, a woman who dared to flirt with a man in front of elders was not a proper woman.

However, Lin Ziyin’s "inappropriateness" was just what the Marquis needed. If she failed to fulfill the role of the prince’s consort, his daughter would have her say in the Wang Residence. Then, the Marquis Residence was not far from returning to its former glory.

Chu Suifeng’s unexpected visit put the Marquis Residence in a frenzy. Lin Ziyin and others on the road could see servants bustling everywhere. Spotting the prince and Lin Ziyin, they respectfully lowered their heads and receded, not daring to breathe loudly.

The distance from the front door of the Marquis Residence to the old lady’s courtyard was neither short nor long.

Such a distance was nothing for Lin Ziyin, who regularly exercised and maintained her physical strength. Marquis Li was surprised to see her not panting or flushing. However, he regarded this surprise as an indication of Lin Ziyin’s crude nature. Being unaffected by such a distance must be because she had done plenty of farming work.

No matter how you dress up a wild chicken, it would still be a chicken, never turning into a golden phoenix.

"Old servant pays respect to the prince, young miss." Nanny Qilan and her maids were already waiting at the courtyard gate. They were servitiors fully trusted by the old lady, and as soon as they saw Chu Suifeng and Lin Ziyin, they immediately knelt to greet them.

"Nanny, please get up, the ground is cold." Lin Ziyin personally helped Nanny Qilan up.

Nanny Qilan was stunned, then she immediately thanked Lin Ziyin again, bending over to bow, "Thank you, young miss, for your consideration."

"Nanny is an important person by the old lady’s side. She can’t do without nanny. Therefore, nanny must take good care of her health." Lin Ziyin kindly replied with a smile.

"Young miss is worrying too much. It’s my fortune in this life to be able to serve the old lady." Nanny Qilan respectfully replied.

"Cousin." While they were talking, the curtain was lifted, and Li Yanran, dressed up to the nines, walked out shyly.

As for Li Yanran’s bow, Chu Suifeng did not help her up, nor did his face show any particular joy. On the contrary, on seeing Li Yanran, he slightly furrowed his brows.
