?Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Showcasing Skills (6)_1 Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Showcasing Skills (6)_1 It was only when the siblings settled themselves into the horse carriage and began to depart that they both heaved a sigh of relief.

“In the future, try to stay home as much as possible, and don’t venture out.” Lin Changshu admonished her.

“Of course, even if they bound us with ropes next time, I wouldn’t come.” Lin Ziyin replied with a chuckle, aware of the terror they had experienced that day.

The fright wasn’t confined to Lin Changshu, the family members left at home were likewise filled with anxiety and worry.

“The sun is about to set, why aren’t they back yet?” Lin Zige and Guo Huiniang stood at the entrance of their home, stretching their necks to scan the distance.

“They are adults, they know what they’re doing, so you don’t need to overthink.” The patriarch assured them with a glance.

Nevertheless, his heart was in turmoil throughout the entire day too.

Just what kind of a family the Si family was, and how the two youngsters who had grown up in a rural setting would fare spending a day amidst them, were worries that plagued him. Would they offend anyone significant?

“Could big sister and big brother be staying in the city overnight?” Changting asked naively while staring at the path leading to the village entrance.

“They won’t. They will definitely come back. ” Wu Dayou replied assuredly.

“They are back!” At the mention of this, Zige leaped with joy.

Everyone looked into the distance and indeed, noted the Si Family’s carriage approaching. The Lin family was familiar with the distinctive symbol on their carriage, owing to their frequent trade trips to the village.

“There’s another horse carriage following.” Changting noted with surprise.

Indeed, there was another carriage following the one belonging to the Si family.

“Changting, Yanzhi.” As soon as the carriage halted, Lin Changshu and Lin Ziyin alighted. Spotting two familiar faces rushing towards her, Ziyin happily reached out to them one hand each.

“Miss Lin, where should we arrange these items in the carriage? The household heads wanted us to bring these back for you.” Si Si asked for instructions.

Lin Ziyin had noticed the extra carriage and guessed it was likely gifts from the Si family to their family. Therefore, she was not surprised, but Lin Changshu was utterly astonished, “The old lady and others have already given their gifts, how come there are still more?”

“The items we brought are gifts from the master and mistress to Miss Lin for her hospitality and the excellent food she prepared today. These items in the carriage are gratitude offerings from members of the Si family to Master Lin and Miss Lin for saving the young master.” Si Si answered respectfully.

“Just bring them inside.” Lin Ziyin, who didn’t want to be treated like a showpiece, instructed, noticing villagers who had heard of the commotion and started to gather around and look.

Ziyin had no liking for this sort of attention.

“Cui Da, Li Family, hurry up and help move the items from the carriage into the courtyard.”she added.

The gifts sent by the Si family were very extravagant, coming in a large variety. Everything sent was the best of its kind – whether to be eaten or used.

The villagers were awestruck upon seeing the gifts; the older generation had been right – provide assistance to a wealthy friend in need and prosperity would come quickly.

Given how highly the Si family regarded the Lin family, the Lin family would prosper even if they didn’t wish to.

“Miss Lin, we’ll take our leave now.” Once the carriage was empty, Si Si left with the two carriages.

“What happened in the city?” Zige finally had the opportunity to pull Lin Ziyin aside and ask.

“Everything went well. The lady and mistress of the Si family are quite kind. I even had the chance to discuss secret recipes with the Prince.” Lin Ziyin replied.

“Discussing recipes with the Prince?” Zige was taken aback. How could the noble Prince be discussing matters with Ziyin?

“Because of the Ding’an Temple, we need some rare ingredients for the secret recipes, so the Prince asked me a few extra questions.” Lin Ziyin explained.
