Chapter 1016 - 004 Armory_2
"Please take your seat, Princess. We common folks dare not presume too much," Lin Jiaxin had even made a special visit to the village elder’s house before coming to the capital city to inquire how one should speak and conduct themselves when meeting with the princess and others. These instructions were specifically emphasized by the village elder, reminding him that there must be a distinction between sovereign and subject, and under no circumstances should there be any disrespect.
Princess Anle chuckled and did not sit at the head of the table. Instead, she plopped down into a chair on the side and said, "Old Master Lin, you’re too polite. This talk of presumption is nonsense. From now on, we’ll be one family, and there’s no need for such formalities. This residence is your home, and besides, Yuanyuan is now Hong De’s sworn sister. Doesn’t that bring our relationship even closer?"
At the mention of this, both Lin Jiaxin and his wife perked up. They had been unaware at first until Lin Yuan suddenly spoke to them earnestly in the carriage on the way to the capital, scaring the couple quite a bit.
The sworn sister of a prince! That was not something to be taken lightly! It was said that those who could claim connections with the royal family were exceptionally influential, warranting even Li Chang to kneel in reception.
After Lin Yuan’s departure, the old couple chattered away, growing increasingly incredulous the more they thought about it and maintaining a skeptical attitude. But now, Princess Anle brought it up again, seemingly confirming the truth of the matter.
In a moment of distraction, Lao Fan dismounted the carriage and walked into the house, glanced at the seated individuals, and took his place at the head of the table.
Lin Yuan covered her mouth with a smile, seeing that Lao Fan seemed to be the only one entitled to sit there.
After chatting with Princess Anle for a while, Lin Jiaxin and his wife began to relax. They had heard from Lin Yuan about Princess Anle before and thought her to be an arrogant and overbearing mother-in-law, worrying about Lin Yuan’s future life.
