Speaking more and more quietly, even the mood seemed to sink a bit.

Lin Yuan was slightly stunned, could it be that Xia Zhen wasn’t sincere towards Tian Hui? No, even though she had only met that elder once, she had still felt his affection for Tian Hui.

Looking at Tian Hui’s somewhat sorrowful little face, Lin Yuan couldn’t help shaking her head; neither of them was good at expressing themselves, seemingly having never had an open and honest conversation.

As long as no one else interfered in between them, there was plenty of time in the future, and there was no fear that they wouldn’t have opportunities to communicate.

The embroidery lady brought by Tian Hui worked even more efficiently, having taken measurements for Lin Yuan, Lin Wei, and a few others, while on the other side, the maids had just finished taking measurements for Lin Jiaxin and his company, making the shopkeeper somewhat embarrassed.

However, since Lin Yuan had already promised to give him this deal, she naturally wouldn’t go back on her word. Anyway, everyone would need new clothes after arriving in the capital city.

Just as she was seeing off Tian Hui and her group at the door, Chun Yu and Dong Qing arrived, stopping their cart at the entrance.

Upon seeing the three large trunks closely packed on the cart, Tian Hui laughed, "It seems I have made a redundant trip, look, the princess has already prepared your outfits in advance."

Lin Yuan smiled mischievously at her, curiously looking towards those trunks.

Chun Yu hopped down from the cart with a lively spirit and bounced over to Lin Yuan, performing a bow.

Her voice was as adorable and clear as a spring oriole, "Miss Lin, our princess has sent me to deliver something to you! The princess said tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and she has to attend a banquet in the palace and can’t accompany you, so she asks you to visit her on the sixteenth. "

After saying this, she specifically looked towards Xiao Linshuang, her bright sparkling eyes twinkling, "Oh, and the princess also said, don’t forget to bring the young miss! She really misses the young miss!"

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but reach out her hand and gently pinch Xiao Linshuang’s chubby cheeks.

Xiao Linshuang also liked this cheerful young lady a lot, following Chun Yu’s hand and pinching back at her waist, which tickled Chun Yu so much that she laughed and jumped to the side.

Among Princess Anle’s four servant girls, Chun Yu was the youngest and also the liveliest; Xia He and the others all treated her like a younger sister. Now that she had finally met Xiao Linshuang, who was even younger and livelier, it was natural for them to get along well.

Dong Qing followed Chun Yu and jumped down from the cart, but surprisingly, he didn’t start rambling as usual, which made everyone quite puzzled.

Tian Hui couldn’t help but ask, "Hey, what’s with Dong Qing today? So quiet."

After glancing at Lin Yuan, Dong Qing clenched his lips tightly, pointed at his own mouth, and waved his hands repeatedly, displaying an expression of deep remorse, which puzzled everyone even more.

Lin Yuan couldn’t be bothered to play his guessing game and pretended to threaten him, "When it’s time to speak you stay quiet, and when it’s not, you never stop babbling. I think instead of cutting off your tongue, you should have a button sewn onto your mouth!"

Dong Qing shrank his neck, his throat sliding slightly as he said with a hint of grievance, "Ah, after returning yesterday, the young master strictly reprimanded me. I already know my mistake, Miss Lin. From now on, I won’t speak carelessly anymore, causing your ears to tire; please, miss, keep me in check. "

So that was it.

Lin Yuan’s expression became somewhat uneasy, suddenly recalling the conversation she had had with Xia Zheng the previous night about how tired her ears were from listening to Dong Qing’s babble, not to mention how Xia Zheng used it as a reason to sneakily steal a kiss.

Lin Yuan’s face unconsciously turned red: that guy, he meant for Dong Qing to say this to make her embarrassed, didn’t he!

Nobody noticed Lin Yuan’s expression because their attention was all drawn to the three large trunks on the cart.

Butler Zhou called the young servants to bring the trunks inside; even Tian Hui, who was supposed to leave, couldn’t help but turn back curiously to see what wonderful items there were.

The Red Smoke Pavilion and the maids were busy rushing back to the shop to finish the clothes.

As Tian Hui walked back, she smiled at Lin Yuan, "It seems the princess is more thoughtful after all, perfectly guessing someone would come to disturb you, so she hurriedly sent Chun Yu to pass on the message for you to go over. "

Though that was said, Lin Yuan was still very thankful to Tian Hui, "It’s better to be timely than early, I am still grateful to you, big sister, for helping me get out of Yao Mansion’s invitation; otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what excuse to use."
