Chapter 671 Funeral (3)_1
Before the noble son could respond, he added anxiously, "Sir, don’t get me wrong. Given my status, how could I possibly come into contact with someone like the young lady of the Marquis Residence?"
"You certainly will meet her and it would be easy for you to strike up a conversation. Bear in mind, once you meet her, figuring out how she can help us is your task," said the noble son, his eyes flickering with a cold glint.
"Yes, sir. As long as I meet her, I will surely accomplish the task you’ve entrusted me," replied Ma Zhicai with a confidence, gritting his teeth.
"We’re here." The accumulated snow on the official road had been cleared long ago, hence Chu Suifeng’s carriage arrived swiftly at Shili Village.
The villagers of Shili Village got up early today, hurriedly finished breakfast and rushed to the workshops. Everyone was uncertain whether the Prince and Princess would return home. But even if the Princess did return, it wouldn’t matter much to them or their relation to the Lin Family, yet they all hoped that the Prince would bring the Princess along.
Early in the morning, everyone leaned out eagerly to watch, their minds were all distracted while working in the workshops.
Lou Zheng, who had been entrusted by the others, was even more restless.
"Uncle, can you just give us an answer, whether the Prince and Princess will come today?" This was already the tenth time that he had asked the same question.
"Uncle Lou Zheng, I’m certain that my sister will come back home," replied Lin Changshu resignedly. He knew very well what his sister was like. The Lin family had already started preparing the day’s meals early in the morning; not a single person doubted that Ziyin would not come home today. It was only Uncle Lou Zheng who could not put his mind at ease and kept muttering on the side.
"Haha, this humble monk arrived even earlier than the Prince." Just as Lou Zheng was getting anxious, he saw Master Hui Zhen entering the courtyard with his Buddha beads in his hand.
