Chapter 671: Chapter 671 Funeral (3)_1

Before the noble son could respond, he added anxiously, "Sir, don’t get me wrong. Given my status, how could I possibly come into contact with someone like the young lady of the Marquis Residence?"

"You certainly will meet her and it would be easy for you to strike up a conversation. Bear in mind, once you meet her, figuring out how she can help us is your task," said the noble son, his eyes flickering with a cold glint.

"Yes, sir. As long as I meet her, I will surely accomplish the task you’ve entrusted me," replied Ma Zhicai with a confidence, gritting his teeth.

"We’re here." The accumulated snow on the official road had been cleared long ago, hence Chu Suifeng’s carriage arrived swiftly at Shili Village.

The villagers of Shili Village got up early today, hurriedly finished breakfast and rushed to the workshops. Everyone was uncertain whether the Prince and Princess would return home. But even if the Princess did return, it wouldn’t matter much to them or their relation to the Lin Family, yet they all hoped that the Prince would bring the Princess along.

Early in the morning, everyone leaned out eagerly to watch, their minds were all distracted while working in the workshops.

Lou Zheng, who had been entrusted by the others, was even more restless.

"Uncle, can you just give us an answer, whether the Prince and Princess will come today?" This was already the tenth time that he had asked the same question.

"Uncle Lou Zheng, I’m certain that my sister will come back home," replied Lin Changshu resignedly. He knew very well what his sister was like. The Lin family had already started preparing the day’s meals early in the morning; not a single person doubted that Ziyin would not come home today. It was only Uncle Lou Zheng who could not put his mind at ease and kept muttering on the side.

"Haha, this humble monk arrived even earlier than the Prince." Just as Lou Zheng was getting anxious, he saw Master Hui Zhen entering the courtyard with his Buddha beads in his hand.

Upon seeing him, Lou Zheng finally felt relieved, "Master Hui Zhen, you’ve arrived at the right time."

"We still have meat buns in the house, they are still hot. Do you want some?" Given Master Hui Zhen’s frequent visits to the Lin House, Lin Changshu had a pretty good understanding of him. On the surface, he was a monk, but deep down, he was a foodie who didn’t differentiate between meat and vegetables.

As expected, upon hearing that there was food, Master Hui Zhen, who had just come from the training ground, headed straight in the direction of the main hall without uttering a word.

He was familiar with the house, not hesitating at all.

Finally, when the sun rose high into the sky, the magnificent carriage of the Prince’s Residence appeared on the village road. The servants on guard immediately lit up the firecrackers.

"Have we arrived?" The crackling sound of firecrackers finally woke Lin Ziyin who was asleep in the carriage. She rubbed her eyes and asked Chu Suifeng.

"Hmm, we have arrived," replied Chu Suifeng, slightly unhappy. He wanted Lin Ziyin to sleep a little longer in his arms, but as soon as they entered the village, the boisterous sound of firecrackers woke her up.

"I feel much better after that nap." After sleeping for half an hour, Lin Ziyin finally refreshed herself, "I wonder what delicious food my sisters and sister-in-law have prepared for us?"

Chu Suifeng loved the way she said "us." He had never before realized how sweet the word "us" could sound.

"Prince, once we enter, don’t put on airs." Suddenly recalling something, Lin Ziyin hurriedly reminded him, "We have an elder sister. So, by generation, my brother-in-law is your role model. You need to learn from him, don’t let him outshine you."

Chu Suifeng knew she was just teasing, so he played along and said, "Don’t worry, I certainly won’t embarrass you. You just watch how I’m going to outshine Wu Dayou."

"What Wu Dayou?" Lin Ziyin glanced at him, "Once you’re inside the Lin Family, you should follow my lead and call him brother-in-law."
