The Princess of Northern Land

Chapter 150 - 150 150 Thinking About (7)_1

?Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Thinking About (7)_1 Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Thinking About (7)_1 The implication was to caution Lin Ziyin not to hold grudges or be overly petty.

Lin Ziyin realized that she can’t argue, and considered that she was not the only one in the carriage, so she had to step back, hoping to reach the Si Family quickly in order to prepare the banquet properly and then return home early.

Si Jinhan knew she was a smart woman. Seeing that Lin Ziyin was no longer causing a fuss, he secretly thought: this lass hopes for peaceful days, but who asked her to have so many whims and ideas?

If someone were to find out about the catapult in the future, she might find it increasingly difficult to lead the quiet life she wishes for.

The carriage quietly entered the city. The Si Family’s carriage had a distinct mark. The city guards saw the carriage and respectfully let them enter without charging any tolls.

“Third Young Master, the Old Lady has been waiting for you and Miss Lin for a long time.” As soon as they entered the courtyard, before Lin Ziyin had a chance to observe the scenery of the courtyard, she saw a well-dressed maid waiting there.

The maid was very pretty. She first bowed respectfully to Si Jinhan, then looked at Lin Ziyin and Lin Changshu.

“Get up, we are going soon.” Si Jinhan replied with a faint smile.

“This must be Miss Lin.” The maid smiled at Lin Ziyin with a friendly manner, “The Old Lady has been talking about you since morning. The Young Mistress and the other ladies are also waiting over there. They want to see who saved the Young Master.”

From the moment Lin Changshu entered, his legs were trembling slightly, his muscles tense, fearful that something might go wrong. Watching the maid’s respect did nothing to ease his anxiety.

Compared to his nervousness, Lin Ziyin was rather calm. She had realized earlier that whether it was a blessing or a calamity, she could not avoid it. Since she was here, she had to accept it with peace of mind.

“Could you please show us the way?” She responded with a smile.

“There is no need for her to guide us. I have to go as well. The Old Lady and the ladies want to see not only you, this brave lady, but also the young hero Lin.” Si Jinhan joked lightly.

“I am unworthy,” Lin Changshu blushed, he didn’t want to be a hero when he saved the people. If it weren’t for Ziyin, he would have surely hidden. He felt unworthy of the title ‘young hero.’
“Miss, Young Master, please.” The maid spoke with a smile, still leading the way.

It seemed Si Jinhan did not mind this at all. He was laughing as he walked beside Lin Changshu, while Lin Ziyin walked behind them casually.

To anyone watching, it seemed as if Si Jinhan was interested in Lin Changshu, the man.

Lin Ziyin walked behind them, seizing this opportunity to observe the Si Family’s courtyard.

Truly a wealthy family, the Si Family’s courtyard was vast, one could hardly tell how much land it covered. It was filled with numerous walkways, precious flowers, and the pavilions and rockeries must have cost a considerable amount of silver.

“These lotus flowers were transplanted from Jiangnan by me. They are blooming very well now.” Si Jinhan turned around and boasted slightly, noticing that Lin Ziyin was daydreaming.

“It is beautiful.” Lin Ziyin responded. She was not the country bumpkin Si Jinhan imagined her to be. In her past life, she had seen all varieties of lotus flowers.

The lotus flowers of the Si Family were well-cared for and thriving. To her, they were just acceptable.

The maid saw her reaction, and was slightly surprised. This Miss Lin appeared young, but displayed composure and quality.

The Si Family’s pond was full of splendid lotus flowers. Many noble ladies who had come here admired them. Although Lin Ziyin was appreciative, she didn’t seem surprised, which showed her discerning eye.

The group crossed a small bridge and took a detour around a corridor before finally reaching a courtyard.

“Oh, my sweet boy, always flattering your grandmother.” Before they could enter, they heard an elderly voice filled with delight coming from inside the house. The joy in the voice made people guess the good mood of the host.

“Miss and Master, please wait for a moment, let me go inform the Old Lady first.” The maid said with a smile.

Lin Ziyin nodded.

“Please wait a moment.” Si Jinhan was the first to enter the house.

“Ziyin?” Outside the house, Lin Changshu looked at Lin Ziyin with worry.

“Brother, don’t worry, we will answer their questions and it will be fine.” Lin Ziyin comforted him, “After all, they aren’t going to eat us.”

Whether the Si Family would eat people or not, Lin Changshu did not know, but he did know that Si Jinhan could kill out of anger for no reason or that the Si Family could beat anyone without any hesitation.

“Master Lin, Miss Lin, the Old Lady invites you in.” In just a short while, the maid came out to summon them.

Lin Ziyin and Lin Changshu exchanged glances, then followed her in.

The temperature outside was high, but the room was incredibly cool. Lin Ziyin guessed there were chunks of ice in the room, but she couldn’t look around at will.

As soon as Lin Changshu entered, he saw a spirited old lady sitting at the head of the room. Despite her age, her eyes were particularly vital, looking at him and Ziyin.

Si Jinhan, the annoying person, was sitting next to her, smiling and watching them. Several middle-aged women were sitting below the old lady, they must be the women of the Si Family.

“Pretty sister.” A child saw Lin Ziyin and her brother coming in. His eyes lit up, he rushed to Lin Ziyin and said, “For you, Sister.”

He held out his hand, revealing a slice of rare watermelon in front of Lin Ziyin.
