Chapter 834: Chapter 834: Return (5)

"""Indeed, she died! Lin Ziyin had not expected that the maid by Lady Ming’s side would actually be a spy from the North Country. Thinking of that stubborn girl, who was wholeheartedly devoted to Lady Ming, she couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

"Also, that Ma Zhicai, he’s got the gall to collude with the Tatars," Lun Luo said through clenched teeth. "If it weren’t for the Prince wanting to leave him for the Princess’s own handling, that scum would’ve been chopped up and fed to the dogs by the Prince by now."

"Even dogs wouldn’t eat his kind," Huangying interjected disapprovingly.

"How did the Prince find out?" Lin Ziyin asked curiously.

"There have always been Tatar spies in the city, as well as spies from Capital City. But the Prince’s situation doesn’t allow him to exterminate these people completely. Killing one group just means another second and third group will come. It’s better to keep those discovered right under watch. Of course, there are spies who haven’t revealed their identities. But even if they exist, they’ve never gotten their hands on any actual information. Who would have thought they would audaciously target you," Huangying explained angrily. "The Prince has been restless over this."

Lin Ziyin fell silent.

Indeed, it had only been a few days since she and Chu Suifeng got married, and they had encountered the funeral of the elderly lady. They had been negligent.

Thinking of Chu Suifeng’s behavior along the way, she knew that this incident had become his inner demon, and he might feel guilty about it for the rest of his life.

"Ma Zhicai doesn’t know he has been exposed, does he?" Lin Ziyin asked.

"That fool has been betrayed and doesn’t even know it," Hong Ying said, wanting to chop Ma Zhicai to pieces upon hearing his name.

Honestly, if it weren’t for the Princess being taken away, the Prince wouldn’t have even noticed such a petty character.

But it was just such a petty character who nearly ruined their important plans.

Although Ma Zhicai wasn’t the mastermind behind the kidnapping, without his instigation, the Princess wouldn’t have been schemed against by multiple parties.

Ma Zhicai, that despicably petty man, was truly hateful.

"Don’t worry, Princess, the Prince has already had the Ma Family watched - they won’t be able to escape," Lun Luo thought Lin Ziyin’s silence was because she was angry with Ma Zhicai.

"It’s fine, he’s just a grasshopper, not worth my attention," Lin Ziyin said indifferently. "Is the meal ready? The Prince should be returning soon."

"Yes, the chefs have prepared everything and are just waiting for the Prince to return," Hong Ying replied respectfully.

While they were talking, Chu Suifeng pushed open the door and entered.

"You all go get ready, we’re about to eat," Lin Ziyin instructed.

"What’s the matter? You look unhappy," Chu Suifeng was very sensitive to her mood changes.

"It’s nothing," Lin Ziyin held him tightly, her voice muted, "I just feel a bit sad and blame myself. After all, it was my own oversight that allowed others to scheme against me, causing so much trouble for everyone."

"It’s not your fault, it’s those damned people who are to blame," Chu Suifeng’s chill began to seep out; what he didn’t say was, he blamed himself too.

"If the Prince knows it’s those people’s fault, why do you keep taking the blame upon yourself?" Lin Ziyin asked, looking up at him while holding on tight.

So she knew all along! Chu Suifeng found himself at a loss for words, unable to get over the hurdle in his heart.

"I’m sorry," Chu Suifeng’s embrace conveyed all his apologies in one sentence.

Lin Ziyin choked up in response, "Prince, we are one, I don’t want to hear those three words ever again."

"Alright," Chu Suifeng fell silent, only after a long while did he respond in a low voice.

After this conversation, Chu Suifeng indeed became much more cheerful. Seeing his change, Lin Ziyin felt unspeakably happy."""
