Chapter 629: Chapter 629: I Rule My Own Territory (3)_1

Situ Gong listened and pretended to be deaf and dumb, all he did was smile to the side, not speaking much.

The princess’s excellence was not something these two could understand, and Situ Gong had a clear understanding of why the King of Chu and the Prince of Rui came to the Northern Land. This is because spies had already reported their itinerary to him beforehand.

The three of them sat in the residence chatting idly, seemingly oblivious to the passing of time.

It was not until the evening that the King of Chu and Prince Rui noticed the absence of their host, Chu Suifeng, which left them somewhat surprised.

As per custom, they should have been welcomed by their host, Chu Suifeng, the master of the Northern Land, as soon as they arrived at the Wang Residence after noon. However, he was nowhere to be seen.

Situ Gong and Bai Xian did not neglect them. They served them the finest meals for dinner, many of which they had never tasted before.

At this moment, Chu Suifeng was at the Lin Family home. He indeed knew about the arrival of the King of Chu and Prince Rui, but he ironically wanted to make these two fools wait.

"The wine makers requested by the princess have been found. In three days, they should be able to arrive here." Chu Suifeng sat opposite Lin Ziyin, speaking with a sense of satisfaction.

"Who are they?" Lin Ziyin asked curiously. "I only know some basic knowledge of wine-making, I don’t understand the specific process."

"They are from the Dong Family of Jiangnan."

"The Dong Family?" asked Lin Ziyin, puzzled. To tell the truth, she knew next to nothing about the aristocratic families or the nobility of Jiangnan.

"The Dong Family is famous for brewing Daughter’s Red. However, they were betrayed and lost to the Feng family, a rival wine-making family." Chu Suifeng briefly explained the situation. "The Feng Family had a daughter who became a noblewoman in the palace. Their wine, Pear Sorrows Wine, became a palace special. Daughter’s Red was found to be poisonous, so almost the entire Dong family was executed. I managed to save a few and bring them here. Once they arrive, they will serve the princess with dedication."

Lin Ziyin nodded after hearing this. After a brush with death and a chance to start over, the Dong family members would likely not betray her. But there are always exceptions, and she did not fully understand the nature of the Dong family. It’s best to hold any final judgements until she had met them.

"In a while, I will send someone else to serve the princess," Chu Suifeng said with a sense of pride, looking at Lin Ziyin. The room was warm and he had already taken off his down jacket, leaving him in a sweater that made him appear quite suave.

Lin Ziyin was grinning at him, not asking about the person he intended to send. After all, the people he sent always proved useful, and she was in no rush to inquire.

"I have done so much for the princess, doesn’t she have a little reward for me?" Chu Suifeng asked somewhat plaintively.

"When the winery is profitable, we’ll split the profits 50/50," Lin Ziyin replied readily.

"That’s not enough," said Chu Suifeng, showing no interest in this proposal.

Lin Ziyin glared at him in dissatisfaction. Was a fifty-fifty split not enough? On second thought, the wine makers and their techniques were all provided by Chu Suifeng. So, when she thought about it, she managed to come to terms with it.

"It will have to be a 60/40 split, with Prince getting the larger sum, and me the smaller. Any less is unacceptable. I still have to cover labor costs and site sales, among other things. If it’s too low, I won’t participate." Seeing the grievance in Chu Suifeng’s eyes, Lin Ziyin immediately jumped up and began to explain.
