The Princess of Northern Land

Chapter 661: Chapter 661 Allocation (7)_1

"You have me." She couldn’t help but say.

"The queen is flirting with me again." Chu Suifeng said cunningly, "In front of so many people, I’m so embarrassed." There was no hint of shyness on his face, he was fully pleased!

The likes of Congyi, Hong Ying and the others, who heard this at the back, couldn’t help but laugh.

Lin Ziyin felt both embarrassed and annoyed; she was enraged enough to scratch him.

Chu Suifeng laughed heartily and pulled her by the hand towards the front, "No, my queen, in front of so many people, I’d be embarrassed. Even if our home’s grapevine collapses, we should close the door before fixing it."

Having heard this, Hong Ying and the others laughed even harder. The story behind the collapsed grapevine was actually something Lin Ziyin shared during idle times. Almost all the maids following her and the guards around Chu Suifeng had heard it.

"Chu Suifeng." Lin Ziyin said, both embarrassed and annoyed.

With this diversion, the sense of hurt that the old lady had brought was completely forgotten.

"Here is the gift list for the queen’s return to her family three days later. Please review it, my lord and queen." As soon as they returned to the room, Bai Xian came over with a thick list of gifts.

Chu Suifeng took the list and scanned it carefully, then instructed Bai Xian to add a few more things to it. Only then did he give it to Lin Ziyin, "My queen, see if anything is missing?"

Upon seeing the long list of gifts, Lin Ziyin felt touched. Because Chu Suifeng valued her, he even sought to give her family the best.

"My lord, it is already very good, no need to add more."

Seeing her satisfied, Chu Suifeng felt secretly pleased, but fearing that he hadn’t done enough, he asked the Maids Qin and Lu to accompany Bai Xian to the warehouse to see what else needed to be added.

Maids Qin and Lu didn’t dare delay and immediately followed Bai Xian.

With a cart full of gifts, the old lady returned to the Marquis Residence. The Marquis and his second son, along with their children, had already gathered around. They all wanted to know the exact situation of the old lady’s stay in the Wang Residence.

Although the old lady stayed only one night, the Wang Residence was not a place where just anyone could stay. The most noble Prince of the Northern Land lived there.

"Mother, what did the prince say?" The Marquis originally wanted to ask about their situation tactfully. But seeing the old lady impatient, he immediately changed his mind and went straight to the point.

"What do you want the prince to say?" The old lady opened her eyes, "The prince publicly promised, from now on the Marquis can survive and flourish in the Northern Land, is this promise not heavy enough?"

"Did the prince mention anything about Yanran?" Madam Mu couldn’t hold back her curiosity. She bore a grudge against Chu Suifeng, for if not for his heartlessness, her daughter wouldn’t have been so miserable.

"Grandmother, did you ask cousin about my marriage again? I’m willing to be the prince’s concubine, even a lowly one." Li Yanran fell to her knees, crying. Yesterday, at the prince’s grand wedding, her father, afraid she would cause trouble, locked her up in the house. She didn’t witness Chu Suifeng in his groom’s attire.

But just thinking about the Prince on a high horse during the welcome ceremony, Li Yanran felt unbearable pain.

The man she had admired for more than ten years had abandoned her in a heartbeat. She could not accept it.

But the person she hated the most was Lin Ziyin. If it weren’t for Lin Ziyin’s meddling, she could have married the Prince had any other woman become his queen. Why would Lin Ziyin, an insignificant and lowly farm girl, demand that the Prince be bound to her for a lifetime?

"Shut up." The old lady looked coldly at Li Yanran, without a trace of affection in her eyes, "Find a matchmaker for her tomorrow."

"Mother." The Marquis was taken aback. Which big family’s daughter would use a matchmaker? Those were for people who couldn’t be married off. If they used a matchmaker, they would certainly become a laughingstock.

"Grandmother, no." Li Yanran stood up in her rage.

"Mother, I don’t agree." Madam Mu trembled with anger. If they used a matchmaker for Li Yanran’s marriage, they wouldn’t even be able to find an old prestigious house’s son, let alone a decent upper-class family who would accept such a bride.

No, her daughter, a Mu, cannot end up in such a situation.

Madam Mu hated the old lady’s heartless decision and Chu Suifeng’s disloyalty. "Mother, have you ever thought about Yanran’s future?"

"Well then, have you, the lady of this Marquis Residence, ever considered the future of the Li family?" The old lady asked sternly, "If you do not agree, then you can quit from being the lady of the Li family."

How could she be so cruel to her own daughter and granddaughter? Madam Mu stared at the old lady in disbelief.

People from the second family were surprised to hear this, but they were secretly delighted. Li Yanran and Madam Mu had taken advantage of the authority in their hands and been causing them trouble. Now facing this situation, it was beneficial to them.

"I have given ten shops in the south of the city to the prince and queen as tokens of respect. The remainder of the ten shops, you two brothers can have five each," said the old lady, taking an even more shocking action.

Gave away ten shops? Now the people from the second family were also unable to remain calm. The price that the old lady had paid for a night’s stay in the king’s house was too heavy.

"The deeds are here, you may take them. As for the rest, anything given by Empress De will be sent back to the prince’s house. The rest, I have already allocated. The list is with Qilan, you can see for yourselves later." The old lady looked tired, "I’m tired, you all may leave."
