The Princess of Northern Land

The Prince visited the Marquis Residence the second day he returned from his military campaign, which was unquestionably a great honor for Marquis Li. However, he had no inkling that Chu Suifeng would be visiting today, so there were no preparations made at the residence. In this respect, Li Yanran could definitely be considered selfish. After returning from the Old Madam’s room, all she could think about was what outfit to wear.

She busied herself with grooming and dressing up early in the morning, completely forgetting to notify her parents about Chu Suifeng’s impending visit.

"Prince, Miss, please," Marquis Li heard the gatekeeper deliver the message and ran out to greet them hurriedly before he could even straighten his clothes.

When he came out and saw Lin Ziyin standing next to Chu Suifeng, he felt a pang in his chest. However, being a sly old fox, he managed to hide his displeasure. His face broke into a warm smile as he cordially greeted Chu Suifeng and Lin Ziyin.

Only when he saw Marquis Li stepping aside did Chu Suifeng, satisfied, hold Lin Ziyin’s hand and start walking inside.

Congyi snickered quietly behind them. At least Marquis Li had the wits to understand his place. Congyi was sure that if Marquis Li dared to act superior in front of the Prince, the Prince would find a reason to make the Marquis Residence uncomfortable upon his return.

"The Old Madam has been worried about you every day of the two months you were out on a campaign," Marquis Li knew that Chu Suifeng did not like him. Yet, unwilling to be ignored, he racked his brains to strike up a conversation and catch Chu Suifeng’s attention on their way in.

Choosing the Old Madam as the topic of conversation was the most suitable choice within the Marquis Residence.
