Chapter 391 Tokens (3)_1
"Punish them?" Lin Ziyin looked at Chu Suifeng in surprise. "What did they do wrong?"
"They were responsible for taking care of you, but they didn’t do a good job. They should be punished." Chu Suifeng explained, holding a food tray in one hand and leading her with the other.
Upon hearing this, Qiaoqiao was on the verge of tears. Ziyin had fainted, and she had been severely reprimanded by her parents and brother. She already felt guilty enough. Now, seeing Chu Suifeng punish Hong Ying and Lu Luo, her guilt towards Lin Ziyin deepened.
"I will also take my punishment." With a thud, Qiaoqiao knelt before Lin Ziyin.
"You are mine, I don’t have so many rules," Lin Ziyin spoke languidly. "Besides, it was not your fault today."
She didn’t blame the three maids, but she didn’t plead for Hong Ying and Lu Luo either.
It was clear who was more important to her. Hong Ying and Lu Luo lowered their heads in shame even more.
Now they understood. They had always looked down upon Lin Ziyin, but they had done their jobs conscientiously because they were following the prince’s orders. Ziyin, as their mistress, didn’t complain about them, but what was lacking was the genuine affection she showed Qiaoqiao.
Hearing this, Chu Suifeng’s face got colder. "After you go back, don’t come here again. Have Bai Ling and Huang Dai come instead."
"Please spare us, my lady," Hong Ying and Lu Luo kept bowing their heads, "we know we were wrong. From now on, we will take care of you conscientiously. Please give us another chance."
Hong Ying was very smart. She knew it was better to plead with Lin Ziyin than with Chu Suifeng. After all, Lin Ziyin, the mistress, was much more approachable than the prince.
