Chapter 642: Chapter 642: Really Ruthless (2)_1

Lin Changting looked at the sedan chair, and then caught a glimpse of Lin Ziyin peeking. Suddenly, tears streamed down his face.

"I, the prince, can assure you that she will never be wronged in the future. If she is, you can go to the Prince’s Residence and give me a severe beating." Chu Suifeng spotted Lin Ziyin too, then he turned his face to solemnly promise Changting. Then he turned to Lin Yanzhi, "Of course, you little fellow can also come along."

Yanzhi, still a child, felt spoiled by his coaxing and happily stood to one side.

Lin Ziyin suddenly felt a pang of heartache, realizing that among all the Lin family members, she had always deeply respected her grandfather, her brother and sister-in-law, and Zige because they had all made so many sacrifices for her and the family. However, it was the two children, Changting and Yanzhi, who loved her most. Children’s feelings are the purest—they are acutely aware of who treats them well.

Lin Ziyin hadn’t expected that on this special day, the two who would weep for her like mothers would be these two children.

"We shouldn’t delay the auspicious time for the wedding ceremony." Changshu, struggling with his emotions, was the adult, and he could not freely express his feelings like the children. Looking at Changting, grown tall, he sighed and coaxed him.

Changting stared for a while at the wedding sedan, then finally quietly made way for it.

The sound of suona horns filled the air, joyous music reaching up to the sky.

Finally, the sedan chair was lifted, and Chu Suifeng’s wedding procession started back posthaste.

The group from the Wang Residence that came to pick up the bride was truly majestic, with so many people. Besides those carrying dowry, there were also black-armored soldiers and monks, all wearing different robes, but tied with red sashes around their waists.

The wedding procession, despite having to cover a distance of nearly twenty miles, returned in just one hour.

Red silk ribbons and lanterns adorned the city streets everywhere, reflecting an atmosphere of joy all around.

Ma Zhicai stood on top of the inn, coldly watching the bustling scene below. He had entered the city three days prior. Now that he had silver, the Yan family generally never interfered with him.

Back in Shili Village, seeing the jubilant faces of the villagers, he felt a sourness in his heart. On impulse, he came to the city, wanting to meet with "his people". Sadly, for three straight days, he was unable to meet anyone.

However, he wasn’t disheartened and continued to wait in the city, after all, he didn’t care much about this small expense.

"Long live, long live the prince and his bride, may they live a thousand, thousand years." Underneath the inn, the common people excitedly shouted. Groups of children followed the wedding sedan, running ahead, creating an appearance of an empty city in Feng City.

Chu Suifeng was in an exceptionally good mood. Riding on a tall horse, he kept a smile on his face while watching the people, and even instructed his subordinates to distribute the Lin’s family’s latest candies along the way.

Ever since he had heard Lin Ziyin’s innovative idea, this reserved prince had been intrigued. The newly produced candies of the Lin family were all secretly purchased by him and then put to good use today.

Among the spectators, there were many business guests. Those who received the candies were soon drawn in by the taste, finding potential business opportunities afterwards.

This subtle promotion ended up significantly boosting the reputation of the Lin family’s candy factory.

For the prince’s wedding, the appearance of a monk’s formation from Ding’an Temple also made for an odd spectacle.

King Chu and King Rui, standing among the guests, couldn’t bring themselves to smile.

Ding’an Temple was well aware that they were officials sent by the court, representing the majesty of the emperor, yet the temple sent a group of monks to the wedding today. To put it nicely, it could be said that Ding’an Temple sent high monks to bless the wedding, but in reality, these monks represented the temple’s stance.

For the monks, Chu Suifeng was their sole allegiance, with the Imperial Court only taking second place in their eyes.
