Chapter 778: Chapter 778: A Despicable Person Gets Promoted (5)_1

Tana secretly observed her face, afraid she might be angry because of the conversation earlier.

However, Lin Ziyin seemed very absorbed in her book, showing no signs of irritation. Tana started to feel uneasy. On their journey, she had been closely around Lin Ziyin for some time, and had some understanding of this Prince’s wife.

The quieter Lin Ziyin was, the angrier she was in heart.

What should she do? Should she tell the prince about this? If she did, would the Prince’s wife become more suspicious of her? Tana was quite perplexed for a moment, not knowing the best course of action.

While Lin Ziyin held a book in her hands, she hadn’t absorbed a single word. Instead, she was pondering over who the insider that betrayed the Prince’s wife could be?

Wait, someone suddenly came to her mind.

A woman in the backyard, one who can move around freely. That would be Ming Meiren but she had been punished and was recuperating at the residence. She had not seen her go out either.

Due to the management regulations set up by Lin Ziyin, people entering and exiting the Wang Residence had to be registered so she had a fairly clear understanding of the situations within the residence. She was sure that Ming Meiren and her close associates had not left the Wang Residence.

If it wasn’t Ming Meiren, then who could the spy be? One thing she was sure about was there couldn’t just be one spy. It would be impossible for a single person to smuggle her out of the Wang Residence.

Had Chu Suifeng found out who the spy was?

"Miss, we’re almost at the town, we can rest and have dinner there tonight." Tana tried to break the silence and tentatively explained, "North Country has many delicacies for you to try."

Lin Ziyin nodded, "Hmm."

Seeing that she was not in the mood to talk, Tana stopped.

The snowflakes were not too heavy, but there was a thin layer of white snow on the ground. After entering the town, there were many people on the street, all dressed in North Country’s unique fur coats and heavy fur hats. Their faces were filled with joy, and most of them were out to buy some stuff.

Lin Ziyin suddenly remembered, today was the twenty-ninth of the year, and tomorrow was Lunar New Year’s Eve.

If she hadn’t been abducted to North Country, she should be bustling around the Wang Residence at this time receiving people who came to give gifts. She would also be busy returning gifts to other residences and would go back to Shili Village to give New Year’s gifts.

With such a big incident occurring, her grandfather and others must be worried to death, Changting and her sister must be crying their hearts out...

What worried Lin Ziyin the most was Chu Suifeng. Even though she hadn’t heard any news of Chu Suifeng, Lin Ziyin knew that he must be going crazy looking for her.

She was Chu Suifeng’s sole source of warmth. He had mentioned that he would arrange for her grandparents to come to the Wang Residence this year to celebrate the New Year together. Lin Ziyin clearly remembered his excited expression, but all those plans had now fallen apart.

Damn the people of North Country!

The more she thought about it, the worse Lin Ziyin’s mood got.

"Miss Lin, we’ve arrived at the inn. We’ll rest here for tonight and set off again tomorrow." Alhatu’s voice sounded from outside the carriage.

The curtain was lifted, and two maids appeared.

Tana was the first to get off the carriage. Due to her leg injury, one maid assisted her to stand firm while the other taller and burlier maid respectfully waited for Lin Ziyin to get off the carriage.

Lin Ziyin was properly assisted out of the carriage and then looked up to see the small inn in front of her.

The inn was small but appeared to be quite comfortable.

"Welcome, please come in." Seeing customers arriving, the inn’s shopkeeper personally came out to greet them. "You’ve arrived just in time as I was about to close up and go home for the New Year."
