Chapter 712: Chapter 712: Panic (2)_1

Too many words were left unsaid, but the worry of the elders was clearly visible.

"It’s just some minor things, I’ve already taken care of them," Chu Suifeng replied indifferently.

The old lady looked at him suspiciously, obviously not believing his words.

Seeing that the old lady was on her last legs, and yet still concerned and worried about Chu Suifeng, Lin Ziyin’s heart softened, and she almost shed tears.

"Prince, you must hurry and have more children with the princess. The Wang Residence has been too quiet these years," she panted and urged.

"Don’t worry, Grandmother. Perhaps there will be good news this time next year," Chu Suifeng answered calmly, allowing her to hold his hand.

"That would be wonderful," said the old lady, her face expressing relief at her grandson’s promise. "I’ve already told my oldest son to arrange everything as stated in this letter. Perhaps you, my prince, could bear witness."

Chu Suifeng took the letter and nodded firmly, "As long as there’s no mistake, I promise to take good care of Li Family."

"Both of you are kind-hearted, and I am grateful," the old lady smiled with tears in her eyes. "Listen, if you wrong yourselves, the prince will enforce the law of the Northern Land."

"Yes, Mother," the Marquis and the second master of the Li Family reluctantly agreed, but they blamed the old lady in their hearts. They couldn’t mess things up, the old lady was worrying needlessly. Wasn’t this deliberately making the prince alienate them?

However, under the circumstances, the brothers dared not utter a word of dissent to the old lady.

"Princess, I have been foolish, please forgive me, I have failed you," the old lady said with a guilty look after instructing Chu Suifeng and making arrangements for the descendants of the family.

"Madam, everything you do there is no right or wrong. Ziyin only knows that you are a loving elder who is beyond reproach," Lin Ziyin said sincerely.

"It’s because the princess is kind," the old lady said, struggling to hold back her tears. She then looked at the maids in the room and Nanny Qilan, "They have served me and taken care of me for many years, they should be free in the future. I hope the prince can arrange their future out of respect to me."

"Madam..." The maids in the room immediately burst into tears.

"Prince and princess, your kindness will be rewarded by the heavens. You will grow old together and have many generations of descendants. " After saying this, the old lady’s hand loosened, her head tilted, and she fell silent.

Lin Ziyin saw the thin hand fall away from her grasp, and her tears rolled down unchecked.

"Madam." The maids in the room wailed even louder, followed by the uproar of the descendants of the Li family.

Chu Suifeng’s expression was stern. He gently placed the old lady’s hand under the blanket, and then spoke in a cold voice, "Everyone, shut up."

The wailing women from the Li family were abruptly silenced as if their throats had been pinched.

To the surprise of everyone in the room, Chu Suifeng pulled out a piece of paper from the envelope in his hand, scanned it quickly, and then began to read its contents.

When he had finished, a strange silence filled the room.

"No, this is not true. I don’t believe it..." Li Jiesong was the first to speak, his face filled with disbelief and rage. "The old lady would never do this to me. I am the eldest son of the Li Family."

No one responded to his words, not even his wife. The decision made by the old lady was initially hard to accept for everyone, but soon, they began to feel like it was the only reasonable decision.
