As soon as Xia Qingyu entered the room, she spoke up, "Husband, come take a look at this." While saying this, she handed a ledger to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took the ledger and flipped through a few pages, his expression turning troubled as he muttered to himself, "My lady..."
Xia Qingyu shot him a reproachful glance and complained, "I told you earlier that we shouldn't have sent so many expensive gifts today."
Lin Feng scratched his head and smiled apologetically. "It's all my fault; please don't blame me, my lady. You reminded me this morning, but I didn't take it to heart."
Gently, Xia Qingyu replied, "Husband, our household finances are tight these days. We need to be more careful with our spending moving forward."
Lin Feng nodded slightly in agreement. "You're right, my lady. I understand."
The next morning, while it was still early, Lin Feng got ready. Dressed in his official robes, he stood tall like a pine tree and rose early because he had to attend court that day.
As Lin Feng stepped into the court hall, everyone turned their attention to him and offered sincere congratulations. Lin Zheng, Lin Quan, and Lin Ye, along with other relatives and friends, approached him with smiles and clasped hands, saying, "Congratulations, Fourth Prince!"
Lin Feng smiled back and replied, "Thank you, brothers."
At that moment, Lin Zheng curiously asked, "Fourth Prince, why not rest at home for a few more days before returning?"
With a serious expression, Lin Feng answered, "Brother, you may not know this. Although I have rested for several days, the affairs of the court are crucial to the nation's finances and people's livelihoods. How could I dare to be negligent? Therefore, I cannot delay too long lest I miss important matters."
Everyone nodded in agreement and praised him: "Of course! The Fourth Prince is truly dedicated; it's admirable!"
After the morning court session ended, Lin Feng hurriedly left the palace and headed toward the Xingbu Yamen. Along the way, his thoughts were still immersed in the heated discussions among the ministers about state affairs.
Upon arriving at the Xingbu Yamen, he found it as busy and orderly as ever. The clerks moved back and forth with various documents and files in hand, each performing their duties.
Since Lin Feng successfully uncovered the mystery behind a bizarre case, the entire Xingbu Yamen had undergone a significant change in attitude towards him. Once regarded as an incapable young man who had parachuted into his position due to his royal status, he was now seen in a new light. They had previously mocked him privately, believing that this young prince would surely be unable to handle the responsibilities of the Xingbu and might even cause trouble for the Yamen.
However, as the truth of the case unfolded, everyone realized how gravely mistaken they had been. No one dared to underestimate Lin Feng anymore; on the contrary, they were filled with admiration for him.
This change was not merely reflected in their attitudes but also ignited a newfound enthusiasm for work among all. In the past, some might have approached their tasks half-heartedly, but now everyone was fully committed, treating each case with exceptional seriousness and responsibility.
Lin Feng spent an entire day at the Yamen. Although he did not encounter any particularly significant or urgent matters, he meticulously reviewed many backlogged case files and engaged in deep discussions with his subordinates about various challenging issues.
It was only in the afternoon that he concluded his day's work and stood up to head home. As he reached his doorstep, he saw Xia Qingyu gracefully walking out from inside.
Dressed in a light blue long dress, the hem fluttered gently in the breeze, resembling a fairy descending to earth. The sunlight cast a warm glow on her face, revealing a gentle smile that momentarily captivated Lin Feng.
