When Lin Furen thought that Lin Chujiu’s identity was now higher than her and that she had lost money from Lin Chujiu, she no longer thinks of ‘teaching’ Lin Chujiu.

Lin Chujiu was not the same as before. Lin Xiang repeatedly reminded her before she went out, not to dispute with Lin Chujiu. Even if Lin Chujiu slaps them in public, they shouldn’t say anything.

All of the people present here were princes and princesses. Prince Zian was on Lin Chujiu’s side. If she reprimanded Lin Chujiu, and Lin Chujiu was displeased, but the Crown Prince and Princess Fushou Zhang were not satisfied. They wouldn’t give her a face.

So Lin Furen pretended to be stupid, and at the same time, she grabbed Lin Wanting’s sleeve, so that she wouldn’t be used as a gun.

The atmosphere froze again. The Crown Prince was so angry that he didn’t know what to say. Lin Chujiu didn’t think of breaking the embarrassing atmosphere, she held the teacup again with a smile and looked at everyone with satisfaction. But of course, she always focused on Princess Fushou Zhang.

Guilty, Princess Fushou Zhang always felt that Lin Chujiu looks at her. As if she knows something. Princess Fushou Zhang was angry, she wanted to send her back to the capital, but at this time, the servants brought the hot tea and snacks.

Princess Fushou Zhang hesitated for a moment, and then swallowed back the words that almost come out to her mouth. She chose to entertain everyone to drink tea and eat snacks.

She chose to tolerate Lin Chujiu. Anyway, she will get back to her with great interest!

“Eldest Imperial Aunt’s snack is very unique.” Prince Wen picked up the snack and praised it. As if nothing had happened just now.

“These snacks were specially made by the cooks in Jiangnan. If you like them, you can eat more. I’ll ask the cooks to make you copies of each to take back home.” Princess Fushou Zhang said generously. The Crown Prince and Lin Furen nodded their head in agreement. Soon, the atmosphere warmed up, and everyone started talking about irrelevant topics.

Lin Chujiu didn’t speak very much and just put on a facade of being an ‘attentive listener’. Occasionally, when Prince Wen and Princess Fushou Zhang asked her, Lin Chujiu would reply a few words. Seeing this, Princess Fushou Zhang went out under the premise of preparing for the banquet: “You talk slowly. I’ll go to the kitchen to see how the preparations are.”

Princess Fushou Zhang got up and a strong floral fragrance spread. Before she turned around, she didn’t forget to say to the Crown Prince: “Crown Prince, please help me entertain Chujiu. I especially prepared this banquet to please her. It would be bad to neglect the guest.”

Princess Fushou Zhang believed that she treated Lin Chujiu well enough. She was not as high and arrogant as before. She was sure that treating her like this will not make Lin Chujiu suspicious… …

Princess Fushou Zhang, who thought that she had shown goodness towards Lin Chujiu, completely dispelled Lin Chujiu’s doubt. And so she left at ease.

Lin Chujiu simply smiled. She didn’t refute, nor refrain her. The Crown Prince looked at Lin Chujiu indifferently but nodded his head: “Eldest Imperial Aunt, rest assured. I will entertain imperial aunt well and will not let her get bored.”

The Crown Prince said with confidence, but as soon as Princess Fushou Zhang left, the Crown Prince turned his back to Lin Chujiu and concentrated on talking to Lin Wanting, who was sitting beside him…

“Er… …” When Prince Wen saw this scene, he was stunned, as his eyes rolled.

He really wanted to know, how did the empress raise the crown prince? How can he be so stupid?

Instead of talking and entertaining Xiao Wangfei, he talked to a little girl.

This little girl seems to be Xiao Wangfei’s sister, Lin Xiang’s second daughter?

Is the second daughter of a prime minister much worthy of attention for the Crown Prince?
