Chapter 765: Chapter 765: Goodbye (6)_1

"My queen, please." Alhatu clapped his hands.

Immediately, two guards carried a warm sedan chair before her.

Where did that chair come from? Lin Ziyin looked at it in surprise, her wariness of Alhatu deepened.

He had prepared a sedan chair for her in advance, which showed that he had a meticulous mind, unquestionably a tough opponent.

Traveling in a sedan chair is much more comfortable than walking. Lin Ziyin wouldn’t make things difficult for herself, so she settled down in the sedan chair without fuss.

To her surprise, Alhatu had even prepared some soup dumplings for her in the sedan chair.

Lin Ziyin’s eyes flickered.

"Master."

"Second Prince."

Soon enough, the guards ushered out Bayan and Tana who, immediately upon seeing Alhatu, exclaimed in relief, as if they had survived a disaster.

"Are you injured?" Alhatu inquired with concern.

"Just a minor wound." Bayan answered with a wide grin.

His injury was on his back, preventing him from walking like a normal person, so Alhatu immediately commanded that some branches be cut from the trees to make makeshift stretchers.

The guards made two stretchers, as Tana was also injured.

On the way back, the pace of the team slowed considerably, perhaps due to having accomplished their mission.

"Miss Lin, have some snacks first. We’ll prepare better food when we reach the camp," Alhatu spoke gently.

"Thank you." Lin Ziyin munched on snacks while sitting in the sedan chair. The snacks of the North Country had a strong dairy flavor but seemed underprocessed and had gamey undertones. However, Lin Ziyin, famished as she was, cared little about taste and was more concerned with filling her stomach.

Determined, the matron of the Mu Family in Feng City boarded a horse-drawn carriage and directly returned to their residence.

"Ah, sister. Did you manage to gather rescue troops?" Mrs. Jin, along with her daughter-in-law and daughter from the second branch, were waiting for Mrs. Mu inside the residence.

Seeing the entire second branch had come to laugh at her, Mrs. Mu sneered, "You’re itching for them to die, aren’t you? Don’t celebrate too soon. Chu Suifeng is ruthless; he is bored with the Li Family now, but soon, he will target you. The second branch will be next, scram!" Having said that, Mrs. Mu headed toward her courtyard without a backward glance.

"Mrs. Mu, you’re mad! Because your children aren’t doing well, you curse ours. You deserve it!" Mrs. Jin didn’t want to deal with Mrs. Mu anymore. In a few days, they, the second branch, would definitely separate and live apart.

The first branch had offended the Prince, so their second branch had to maintain a good relationship with him. They couldn’t let the people of the first branch drag them down at a critical moment. The most annoying thing was that Mrs. Mu dared to curse their second branch. It was unforgivable! They knew, Mrs. Jin was especially proud of her obedient children, far better than those of the first branch.

Mrs. Mu must be cursing out of jealousy, yes, that must be it.

So, despite Mrs. Mu having entered her courtyard, Mrs. Jin, together with her daughter-in-law and daughter, lambasted Mrs. Mu right at the entrance of her courtyard.

"Madam, I will send Mistress Jin away now." The shrewd old servant compassionately suggested. Although the first branch was in trouble, they were yet to formally divide the family. Essentially, Mrs. Mu was still in charge of the Li Family.

As long as Mrs. Jin lives in the Marquis Residence, she must follow Mrs. Mu’s will. The old servant frowned, considering how to deal with the second branch.

The old servant was Mrs. Mu’s trusted aide, who had served as her wet nurse when brought over from the Mu Family. She had over the years gained Mrs. Mu’s trust and often dealt with unpleasant affairs for her. To teach Mrs. Jin and her family a lesson, there was no need for Mrs. Mu to intervene, the old servant could manage on her own.
