"This courtyard is extremely hidden; no one will trace it back to me. From now on, you can stay here when you are in Shaohua City. It will be more convenient for you, and as for those people in the palace, you don’t need to bother with them. If Suyang no longer wishes to save his son, then just let Suri die."
Ya Molian said to her.
Lin Caisang responded.
In her heart, she secretly thought that if Suri died, so be it, but then she wouldn’t be able to visit Shaohua City as often.
Moreover, if she failed to complete the task, wouldn’t she be punished?
"I will certainly not bother with those people, as long as you’re all right here. The autum imperial examination is drawing near, and I will be busy too. I really can’t take care of things here."
"I’ll take you to fetch the thousand-needles jade." Knowing that she was going to return home, Ya Molian said.
"So quick to send me off? You really can bear to part with me, can’t you?"
Lin Caisang muttered, looking at him somewhat reluctantly.
But in her heart, she also knew that he must have many things to do. Being able to accompany her for an entire day, and God knows how busy he would be at night, she couldn’t disturb him too much.
"How could I bear it?"
Ya Molian looked deeply into her eyes and said.
"So, I will wait for you here tomorrow, and when you come over, I’ll take you to Prince Mo’s Mansion to have a look. You, as the lady of Prince Mo’s Mansion, should also make an appearance."
Lin Caisang couldn’t help but laugh lightly.
"Brother Molian, you’re really too wicked. You know there are so many eyes watching you, yet you’re asking me to show my face in public."
Of course, making such an appearance wasn’t bad at all. After all, nobody could catch her, a person who came and went as she pleased. By showing her face, many people would divert some of their attention to her.
In that case, Brother Molian could catch a temporary breath of relief on his side.
This appearance, indeed, she must make.
Actually, Ya Molian didn’t have such a plan at all. He truly wanted to take her to Prince Mo’s Mansion, so that everyone there would recognize who would be the lady of Prince Mo’s Mansion in the future, and not to fawn over the wrong person.
It was dark already. Lin Caisang, having fetched the thousand-needles jade, went back to Ya Village, where it was quiet and silent, without a sound.
After dinner, Lin Caisang visited Ya Molian’s house as usual, lit the lamps, and cleaned up. Afterwards, Nangong Piao’er and Ya Yufeng came over, and the three of them sat down in the main hall.
"My lady, there’s been activity at the Zhou family again," Nangong Piao’er started.
"What’s going on?" Lin Caisang asked.
What kind of waves could the Zhou family still make? After the ruckus last time, Elder Mr. Zhou’s face must have been lost almost completely, right?
What were they planning to do now?
"Madam Zhou went to the Prefect’s Mansion and conspired with the Prefect’s Ninth Miss to forcibly take you into the Zhou Residence as a concubine for Zhou Liang, and that woman from the Prefect’s Mansion, seemingly for the sake of securing a higher status for herself in the future, agreed to Madam Zhou’s suggestion," Nangong Piao’er said.
Lin Caisang couldn’t help but snicker.
Indeed, the ugly often resort to mischief. The Zhou family’s people, can’t they be comfortable without bouncing around occasionally, can they?
Do they really think she is so easy to bully?
"Right now, that woman must be whispering in the Prefect’s ear. Who knows what the end result will be," Nangong Piao’er added.
"What can it be? The Prefect isn’t a fool; naturally, he won’t agree," Lin Caisang said.
"My lady, I believe that regardless of whether the Prefect agrees or not, we must be on our guard," Ya Yufeng spoke up, reminding Lin Caisang.
