Chapter 688: Joint Calculation(6)_1
"Young Mistress, you’re too thin. It seems that your little one is giving you quite a hard time," said Lin Ziyin with a laugh.
"It’s alright, just that there’s some fuss at night which keeps me up." The young mistress gradually relaxed upon seeing Lin Ziyin’s affable demeanor.
The atmosphere became much lighter as everyone started to converse.
When the later arrivals came, they saw that the Mei family’s mother and daughter-in-law were already sitting intimately with the Princess Consort of the Wang residence.
"The young ladies of the Si, Wu and Luo families greet the Princess Consort." These women, though not late, found the hall already filled with visiting ladies of high status.
The matriarchs of both Si and Wu Families watched Lin Ziyin, being flattered by the surrounding crowd, and marveled to themselves. How true it is that fortunes could change within a decade. Anyone looking at the now sophisticated and sociable Princess Consort could hardly believe she was once a simple country girl.
"Since we’re all here, I have something I want to discuss with the ladies," Lin Ziyin said with a smile to the assembled crowd.
"Please do tell, Princess Consort," a woman chimed in impatiently.
"Lady Ji," Lin Ziyin singled her out.
"Princess Consort, I can be a bit blunt at times - my apologies if I offend," Lady Ji said, a hint of pride and trepidation in her voice. She was known for her impulsiveness and tendency to jump the gun, often becoming the butt of jokes for it.
