"The prince may have important matters to discuss with you," Hong Ying lied.
The guards outside, such as Congyi, were pleased. If things kept going this way, there might be a new mistress in the residence soon.
Chu Suifeng did not linger long in Lin Ziyin's room, only staying for the time it took for an incense stick to burn.
Qiaoqiao was finally relieved.
As soon as Chu Suifeng left, Qiaoqiao came to Lin Ziyin's side. Seeing that Lin Ziyin's clothes were properly adjusted, she felt immensely relieved.
Lin Ziyin noticed Qiaoqiao discreetly appraising her. She knew Qiaoqiao was a stickler for rules and loyal to her. So concerning Qiaoqiao's internal conflict, she could understand. After all, Chu Suifeng was her fiancé; it should be normal for them to spend more time together.
Qiaoqiao wavered for a long time, but in the end, as a proper maid, she didn't start blabbering in front of Lin Ziyin.
