Chapter 831: Chapter 831: Return (2)

Chu Suifeng saw him "bullying" Lin Ziyin upon meeting her and immediately gave him several disdainful glances.

However, Master Hui Zhen didn’t even spare him a glance; instead, he stared at Lin Ziyin, waiting for her response.

"Alright, after we go back, Master, whatever you want to eat, I’ll make it for you," Lin Ziyin said with a smile, fulfilling his wish.

Upon hearing this, Master Hui Zhen’s eyes narrowed into a slit with satisfaction.

The mistress of the Northern Land finally returned, and that evening, the dining table was filled with joy and laughter.

Originally, Chu Suifeng planned to set off with Lin Ziyin after she had rested for two days, but unexpectedly, many of the villagers from the Border City, having heard the news, nominated several esteemed elders to seek out Lin Ziyin at the government offices.

"Prince, Princess," began an elder urged forward by his peers, "we few are here on behalf of the people of the Border City, hoping the Princess could take a specific look at the fields."

Lin Ziyin noticed his clothes were quite worn but washed clean, and seeing his respectful manner, she felt quite satisfied. "Has the soil in the fields all been turned over?"

Seeing her amiable attitude, the nervousness of the people who had come eased a bit, "Replying to the Princess, after the autumn harvest, all the soil has been plowed. Officer Xiao Yang specially dispatched machinery for deep plowing."

Lin Ziyin nodded; she had designed the machinery, so she naturally understood deep plowing.

"We’re asking the Princess to come this time to help us take a closer look and see if there’s anything lacking in the warm greenhouses."

Food is the foundation, the lifeblood of the people; these old farmers had all come with high hopes.

"Alright, I will come over tomorrow and have a look," Lin Ziyin agreed readily.

In fact, even if these farmers hadn’t come, she would have made time to visit the fields.

Given the unique location of the Border City, and having decided to manage and promote agriculture here, she wanted to ensure success on the first try.

Lin Ziyin was speaking about serious matters, and Chu Suifeng, sitting by her side, didn’t interrupt, letting her chat freely with the old farmers.

The old farmers, seeing that the Princess of the Royal Tomb had no airs about her and had received her promise, were satisfied after sitting for a while and finally left contentedly.

"You’ve just come back, your body is still weak, why promise them to do this?" Since Chu Suifeng had promised not to interfere with Lin Ziyin’s affairs, he only started complaining with a sense of grievance after the farmers left.

"It’s just a casual walk; I won’t tire myself," Lin Ziyin replied with a smile. "It’s the first year of the trial planting; they are also unsure. My going there might not make a big difference, but at least it can set their minds at ease."

"Tomorrow, I will accompany you to take a look," Chu Suifeng insisted on going with her because he didn’t feel at ease letting her go alone, despite being unhappy about her going through hardship.

In response, Lin Ziyin had no objections. Having Chu Suifeng accompany her would indeed be the best form of publicity. This would increase the villagers’ enthusiasm for farming and animal husbandry even more.

The next morning after breakfast, Lin Ziyin and Chu Suifeng set out.

Upon arriving at the nearby village, they found that Xiao Yang, the local official, had been waiting for them for some time.

"This humble official greets the Prince and Princess," Xiao Yang said respectfully with a bow.

"Forget it, today the Princess and I are just here for a simple visit; you don’t need to bother with such formalities," Chu Suifeng replied indifferently.

"Yes, Prince," Xiao Yang answered with a smile.

The villagers, having spent more time with Xiao Yang, were somewhat comfortable around him. However, the arrival of Chu Suifeng and Lin Ziyin made them feel a bit restrained.

Xiao Yang’s relaxed demeanor undoubtedly signaled to them, and the tension on everyone’s faces began to dissipate.
