?Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Further Progress (1)_1 Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Further Progress (1)_1 “Thank you, but I’m not fond of sweets. Young master, please have it yourself.” Lin Ziyin smiled at the child. She recognized him; this child was the nephew of Si Jinhan, whose life she had once saved.

“Grandma, this sister saved me.” Si Tingwei who was declined looked somewhat regretful. He immediately recognized the beautiful sister before him as the hero who had killed the enemy that day. That’s right, the uncle beside her was also very formidable. Sadly, the sister no longer remembered him.

A child’s thoughts are simple; he clearly knows who treats him well.

“It’s remarkable that you still remember.” Laughing, the young lady teased her son, and then stood up to look kindly at Lin Ziyin, “We really owe you a debt of gratitude for that day. Had it not been for your intervention, I shudder to think what might have become of my son and me.”

Lin Ziyin could hear the genuine gratitude in her words.

However, she didn’t save people that day in hopes of receiving anything in return, so she politely responded, “Anyone seeing such a situation would have intervened. You’re being too kind.”

Her reply was politely distanced but lacked warmth.

All the women of the Lin family, who had remained silent, were stealthily evaluating Lin Ziyin. As Feng City’s largest family, Si Family’s thriving prosperity could be attributed to their cautiousness and loyalty to the King.

If Lin Ziyin would have rushed to befriend them today, the women would have given her some silver and sent her away.

In contrast, Lin Ziyin’s dignified approach, neither servile nor overbearing, genuinely appealed to them.

“Regardless, you and your brother truly saved Tingwei and me. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say you are our family’s life saviors. We’ve been wanting to invite you two to our residence for quite some time. It’s just that we’ve been caught up with so many things. Anyway, today you are our distinguished guests, and you mustn’t decline.” Lady Si smiled as she spoke.

“Sister-in-law is right. Our grandmother has been wishing to meet you two, her life savers, for a long time. You mustn’t deny her.” The second Lady also chimed in with a smile.

Even though Si Family was large, the three branches seemed united at heart with only legitimate wives in each branch and without any concubines, which might be another secret to their thriving prosperity.

“Come here, let me have a look at you,” the grandmother beckoned Lin Ziyin with a warm smile.

Lin Ziyin couldn’t be rude to the elderly woman. She awkwardly stood up and kneeled in front of the grandmother, “I’m sorry for any disrespect I might have shown.”

“You’re beautiful, brave, and of good character. A good young lady,” the old grandmother said with a smile, “I heard you opened a workshop?”

“In response to grandmother, it’s just a trivial method of making a living, not worthy of mention.” Lin Ziyin’s hands were gently held by her, making her feel extremely uncomfortable. In her previous life, her mother died early, her relationship with her father’s side was complicated, and in this life, she only has her grandpa as the oldest in the Lin family. She had never experienced such affectionate behavior from an elder.

“Thank you for your kind words, madam.” Lin Ziyin replied with a rigid smile.

Si Jinhan saw her uncomfortable demeanor and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

So, even a brave girl could have such a lovely side.

“I heard that some people are making trouble behind your back because they saw your workshop making silver. The next time anyone dares to do this, you tell Si Si, and have Yue Lin deal with it.” The old lady sighed and looked at Si Jinhan, “Yue Lin, don’t think you can fool me. If I hear about anyone bullying this girl, I’ll have words with you.”

“Grandmother, who’s your real grandson here?” Si Jinhan dramatized, his face full of discontent.

“If uncle bullies sister, sister can come to the residence and tell the grandmother. The grandmother will support sister,” Si Tingwei liked Lin Ziyin and wanted to show off himself continuously.
