Xia Yuanji and his wife were engaged in conversation when, at that moment, Xia Qingyu gracefully emerged from the inner hall. Her elegant figure resembled a blooming lotus, both ethereal and captivating.
Upon reaching her parents, she paused, slightly bowed, and performed a standard yet graceful greeting. After completing her bow, Xia Qingyu lifted her head, her beautiful eyes glimmering as she looked at her father and softly spoke, "Father is absolutely right; this matter is indeed not suitable for further discussion."
After all, Lin Feng was a distinguished prince of noble status. In the bustling and vibrant Wu City, where skilled individuals abounded, it was rare for anyone to have the audacity to scheme against a prince.
Xia Yuanji furrowed his brow in deep thought about the entire situation. After hearing his daughter's words, he understood that there must be hidden complexities behind this matter that were far-reaching. He waved his hand to interrupt Xia Qingyu before she could continue.
"Enough of this," he said. "Let us put this matter to rest. There is no benefit in discussing it further; we should avoid attracting trouble."
However, Madam Xia wore a worried expression, her gaze fixed on her precious daughter as she spoke anxiously, "But what about my dear daughter? As her mother, I truly worry endlessly about this."
In response to her mother's concern, Xia Qingyu merely smiled gently. She shook her head lightly and reassured her mother, "Do not worry, Mother. I have always been accustomed to living freely; I do not view marriage as something of utmost importance. When the right time comes, my destined match will surely arrive."
Xia Qingyu slowly pushed open the door to her room, stepping into her own little sanctuary. She quietly sat down at her vanity, gazing intently at her reflection in the mirror. The woman in the mirror had a delicate face with skin as fair as jade and brows like distant mountains; her eyes sparkled like autumn waters.
Yet at that moment, there was no hint of grievance on her face regarding the situation. On the contrary, in Xia Qingyu's heart, she believed that the one who should truly feel wronged was Lin Feng. For this reason, she had secretly inquired about him, particularly concerning his character.
To everyone's surprise, before the incident occurred, there had never been any negative rumors about Lin Feng's character circulating in the outside world. This was why Xia Qingyu firmly believed that Lin Feng was not that kind of person. As she thought about this, her mind began to wander, and Lin Feng's image unconsciously surfaced in her mind. Before she realized it, a faint blush crept onto her cheeks.
At that moment, Lin Feng was returning home with steady steps after the morning court session. As he approached the entrance of his residence, a familiar figure caught his eye—it was the guard who had been beaten last time. Upon seeing Lin Feng return, the guard quickly bowed and greeted him with utmost respect, calling out loudly, "Fourth Prince!"
Lin Feng focused his gaze and immediately smiled, teasingly saying, "Oh, it's you!" He then nodded in approval and added, "Hmm, you performed quite well!" With that, he entered the residence with a smile, striding confidently.
In the evening, within the palace courtyard, Wu Emperor Lin Zhen finally had a moment to relax after a busy day. He slowly stood up, stretching his body that had grown somewhat stiff from long hours of work. After moving around a bit, he felt much more at ease.
The alliance with Liang Kingdom had been finalized, which relieved Wu Emperor's mind somewhat. At that moment, however, a figure appeared in his thoughts—Mother Consort Lin Feng. Contemplating this, Wu Emperor made a decision: he would go to where Lin Feng's mother resided to rest for the night.
