Chapter 489: The Wind Rises and the Waves Swell (3)_1
Hearing her refer to herself, many aristocratic young ladies showed a sneer on their faces. Indeed, she must come from a small family, she doesn’t even know how to address herself. In such an important occasion, she should have referred to herself as ’this girl’. She dares to use ’I’ in front of the old lady and the Prince, she really has no manners at all.
"A good child indeed." The old lady’s tolerance towards Lin Ziyin exceeded many people’s expectations.
"Honglin didn’t even send someone to notify us in advance, it caught me off guard, and unfairly burdened this girl." The old lady complained while ordering someone to bring a box from her room.
The people around her moved quickly, and before long, a maid presented an exquisitely carved box.
The old lady handed the box to Lin Ziyin,"The things in this box were given to me by my mother when I got married. Now I pass them onto you, hope you take good care of the Prince in the future. This boy has been living alone for too many years, he’s too lonely."
Lin Ziyin could hear the regret and self-blame in her tone. Although she didn’t know what was in the box, it was made of pear wood, carved so delicately, and given that it was the dowry of the old lady, she knew this gift was too valuable.
She hesitated and looked at Chu Suifeng.
"What are you looking at him for? Although I told you to take care of this boy, it doesn’t mean you have to consider his feelings in everything you do." Without allowing her to refuse, the old lady stuffed the box into her hands.
There was a full smile on Chu Suifeng’s face, he seemed to enjoy the harmonious scene between the old lady and Lin Ziyin.
"Grandmother, I am the real relative here," he joked. Those around them, whether sincerely or not, burst out laughing.
