Chapter 349 Guest of Honor
‘She's gone just like that? I didn't get any advantage out of it!’ Master Lin felt waves of disappointment inside. Standing for a moment, he was just about to move forward when suddenly he heard the noise of carriage wheels. A horse carriage slowly approached. The coachman jumped down and asked, "My Lord, did you call for a carriage?"
Lin Wanrong was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, it's me! Uncle, where is the person who went to call you earlier?"
"You mean the young lady?" The coachman took out a silver ingot from his pocket. "She's really a good person. She gave me this large ingot and asked me to come pick you up. Aren't you with her?"
Master Lin secretly nodded. His tantrum had worked. Regardless of whether she was a fairy or goddess, he couldn't show her a friendly face. As the saying goes, "Spare the rod, spoil the child." Women must not be indulged; they must be both scolded and loved at the same time.
"Oh, she is a servant girl in my house. Maybe she has gone on an errand for my wife," Master Lin chuckled, looking around. He didn't see Ning Yuxi hiding anywhere, so he climbed into the carriage and settled in the compartment. "Uncle, you know Prince Cheng's residence, right? Let's take a stroll there!"
Seeing that the young master was kind and approachable, the coachman grew bolder. He gently lowered the curtain and said, "Prince Cheng, yes, I know him. He is a renowned virtuous prince, benevolent, and good to the surrounding people. Everyone says that if he becomes the Emperor, the people will be blessed—" He suddenly stopped, clearly realizing that he had spoken out of turn, and embarrassedly laughed, "I'm just babbling nonsense, my lord. Please don't take it seriously."
"What did you say?" Lin Wanrong asked curiously, "My ears didn't catch that, I didn't hear anything. Can you say it again?" The coachman gratefully smiled and quickly urged the carriage to move on.
Prince Cheng's mansion was situated across from the imperial palace, in a north-south alignment, covering an extremely vast area, perhaps dozens of acres. From a distance, one could see the red tiles and high walls, pavilions and towers, all looking very magnificent. The house granted to Lin Wanrong by the Emperor was already considered large, but compared to this prince's mansion, it was not even in the same league. The only thing that could probably compare was the imperial palace itself.
