The Princess of Northern Land

Without mentioning anything else, the hardship endured in the heavy snow was beyond description. Women, the elderly, and children talked about the harsh winter, although life was also very tough for them. They were all ordinary people, who could afford to spend so much silver just to keep a brazier burning for warmth all day long?

Now everything is so wonderful. The workplaces are as warm as the sunny March months. And at home, every family who works here now has a kang, a heated bed, keeping them warm when they get home. Every day they are paid in silver, so they no longer have to worry about a lack of money at home. Besides, they can afford to eat meat every now and then. They can also take care of their children, who don’t wander around after coming back but stay on the kang to practice writing and study.

Such a relaxing life was something everyone had hardly dared to think about in the past.

But now it’s right in front of them. As a result, every family that has got a job in the Lin family value their work greatly. The near assassination of Lin Ziyin, the family’s breadwinner, last night deeply concerned the villagers.

Through their period of work, everyone has come to realize that Lin Ziyin has been the backbone of the Lin family. If anything happens to Lin Ziyin, their good days might come to an end.

Because of this, everyone is striving to master martial arts. They think maybe in the future, if anyone again covets the Lin Family’s business and attacks, they might be able to lend a hand instead of sleeping deeply like last night.

"Qiaoqiao, let’s go home," Lin Ziyin whispered.

"Yes, Miss," Qiaoqiao responded, although she didn’t understand why she was leaving the training ground so early.

The master and her servant quietly left the training ground.

As Chu Suifeng, who was practicing combat with Yu Shaohui, saw the departing figures, he called over Congyi, whispering some instructions to him.

Upon receiving his command, Congyi also quietly departed.
