Chapter 689: Chapter 689: Joint Calculation(7)_1

"If the Princess Consort doesn’t mind, after my daughter-in-law gives birth to her child, she can try at the Academy." Madam Mei smiled slightly, being the first to offer her support.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ziyin looked over approvingly.

And receiving the support of her mother-in-law, Madam Yin became excited, and her cheeks turned red.

"May I ask, what is the young madam’s specialty?" Lin Ziyin asked happily, treating her with great warmth.

"To answer the Princess Consort, my family’s business is in silk production. Having been immersed in this environment, I’ve picked up some basic knowledge on weaving and embroidery. Moreover, I’ve also studied poetry and prose since I was young," Madam Yin answered modestly.

"Wonderful, that’s marvelous," Lin Ziyin rejoiced. Such a person was indeed a talent. For a girl, nothing was better than mastering a particular skill.

"Madam Mei took the first spot, but I was just about to recommend my own granddaughter-in-law too," the Old Madam Si said while chuckling.

"I have a fondness for embroidery, perhaps the academy is in need of an instructor of such skill," Madam Luo boldly stepped forward.

"It’s a pity that I’m not old enough, otherwise, I would certainly go," Si Jinyu regretfully pouted.

"When the time comes, we’ll take the test together," Luo Yanlan encouraged her.

Only these few families responded on the spot, the rest remained silent, especially the elder daughters-in-law who were hesitating because they wanted to run the households.

"If the two young misses do well, they may also be eligible," Lin Ziyin said with a smile.

Hearing that, Si Jinyu and Luo Yanlan thanked her and went to the side to exchange news joyously.

Seeing the Si family and Luo family being so proactive, others felt both envy and helplessness.

After a while, people slowly scattered off.

"Princess Consort, it seems that not many people are willing to become female teachers in the academy," Nanny Lu sighed.

"It doesn’t matter," Lin Ziyin relaxedly leaned against the chair’s back, "Quality over quantity. Forced marriages don’t end sweetly, and the academy is meant for cultivating talents, not for those with ill intentions."

"The Princess Consort is right," Qiaoqiao nodded with a smile.

"Is my sister in?" A woman’s voice came from outside the door.

Sister? Lin Ziyin was still inside the flower hall without having time to exit, turned her head to see everyone in the room, "Do you have any sisters or anything working as attendants in the residence?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Before she could figure out what was going on, Huangying pushed the door open, "Princess Consort, Consort Lin wants to meet you."

Consort Lin? Lin Ziyin became even more surprised.

The prince had strictly forbidden the women in the back courtyard to come and disturb her. But now she thought of Lin Haisheng, and the freedom these women had to walk the streets in the past few days, she understood.

"Princess Consort, let me go and send her away, " Nanny Qin offered.

Lin Ziyin shook her head, "No, let her in."

Today, Consort Lin was dressed in a robe with golden threads, wrapped in a dark red cloak, she was radiant in her entire appearance.

"Princess Consort allows Consort Lin to come in," Huangying came out to relay the message.

Hmph, even a maidservant dares to put on airs towards her, she’ll be sure to discipline these insolent maids when she rises in rank. No matter how upset she was, Lin Wanwan dared not show her displeasure to Lin Ziyin’s servants.

She had come today with a purpose.

"Wan’er pays her respects to Big Sister, the Princess Consort," once in the room, Lin Wanwan respectfully offered her salute to Lin Ziyin.

"Sit." Lin Ziyin, having been busy all morning, didn’t have much energy left. She asked with brevity, "Does Consort Lin have business with me?"

Lin Wanwan was stunned by the blunt question. She was trying to think of a way to start a conversation, but Lin Ziyin gave her the chance before she could even launch into her prepared speech.

"If there’s nothing, I’m quite tired. Consort Lin should return," Lin Ziyin, seeing that Lin Wanwan was out of sorts, quickly became a little impatient.

"I’ve come to find the Princess Consort today, indeed, because of a personal matter," Lin Wanwan, having gathered her emotions, finally started to speak. She wore a full smile on her face, and her eyes were filled with sickeningly sweet adoration when she looked at Lin Ziyin.

Lin Ziyin felt her skin crawl from being under Lin Wanwan’s gaze.

"I’m guessing the Princess Consort already knows, we are officially sisters. I saw Father yesterday, and he told me. If I had known earlier that the Princess Consort was my sister, I would have gone to visit her in Shili Village," Lin Wanwan said, becoming more excited as she went on. To think Lin Ziyin was just a girl from a side branch of the Lin family brought her immense joy. No matter how high-ranking Lin Ziyin was, she still had to call her ’big sister’. Just thinking about having control over Lin Ziyin, made her bursting with joy, "Sister, don’t blame Father. There’s also the clan head in the clan, he..."

"Consort Lin," Lin Ziyin interrupted her incessant chatter, "Did Mr. Lin not make it clear to you? Our Lin Family and Mr. Lin, and whatever Lin family clan in Capital City have nothing to do with each other. The domicile of my birth family is being built up with the help of the Prince. Mr. Lin has mistaken us for someone else, has he not found the person he’s looking for?"
