Noble Consort Xiao raised her eyebrows. “Mother mentioned Miss Lin to you. Do you truly not miss her?”

“If I missed her, Mother wouldn’t marry her to me, so why would I keep missing her? Mother, missing someone is very painful. I don’t want to suffer all the time! You know, I’m someone who can’t endure hardship!” Chu Jinling leaned against Noble Consort Xiao, his demeanor revealing a hint of delicacy.

Noble Consort Xiao’s eyes flashed with surprise, then with delight.

After Chu Jinling escorted her into the carriage, he was off to accompany his imperial uncle for the ancestral ceremony.

Noble Consort Xiao, reclining in the luxurious carriage, narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly. “Granny Song, do you think Ling’er has truly forgotten Lin Sisi, or is he still pretending?”

Granny Song, who had been by Noble Consort Xiao’s side, observed Chu Jinling’s expression. “The Ninth Prince doesn’t seem to be pretending. He has always acted like a child in front of Your Majesty.”

Noble Consort Xiao snorted softly. “I treat him as a child, but he’s no longer one.”

He was already an adult man.

“Are you suggesting that the Ninth Prince deliberately deceived you? But what was his motive? The Ninth Prince isn’t as far-sighted as his uncle. Everyone around him is under your command, reporting his every move. He’s always obedient in front of you.”

Granny Song harbored no doubts about Chu Jinling, unaware of Noble Consort Xiao’s suspicions.

Noble Consort Xiao lightly brushed her beautiful nails past the corner of her eyes. “If Ling’er remains obedient for the rest of his life, then I’ll plan for him for the rest of his life. In short, this Lin Sisi, claiming to be tainted, can never get close to him again.”

No one could tarnish her precious son!

But if her son was happy, she wouldn’t have to worry.

“Granny Song, go and dismiss the people around Lin Sisi! If Ling’er no longer pays her any attention, then I needn’t bother about her anymore.”

Noble Consort Xiao gently closed her eyes to rest, emanating an aura of unattainable nobility.

Granny Song complied and departed.

Her actions were detected by the shadow guards monitoring her.

The shadow guard returned to Chu Jinling’s side and reported the matter.

Chu Jinling nodded. “I understand.”

Chu Jinling approached Chu Yihan and saw him in a bright red wedding robe, looking vibrant. “Imperial Uncle, you truly look dashing today!”

No one could compare to him.

Mo Qi stood beside Chu Yihan and looked at Chu Jinling with a hint of surprise. “Ninth Prince, you’ve been hiding well. By coaxing the Noble Consort, you can easily visit General Lin in the future.”

Chu Jinling waved dismissively. “It’s nothing special. I grew up by my imperial uncle’s side, how could I lack such abilities? Wouldn’t that embarrass my imperial uncle?”

If it were any other time, Chu Yihan’s reaction would have been to disdainfully throw Chu Jinling a glance and then deny any association with the matter.

After all, he never engaged in the antics of the younger generation, so he wouldn’t have sent Shadow Guards for him to use.

But today, in his great joy, he rarely praised Chu Jinling, saying, “Wait until you marry Lin Sisi before saying such things.”

Before marrying her, it was still embarrassing for him!

Chu Jinling’s expression immediately fell. “Imperial Uncle, your expectations are too high!”

Being your nephew was truly difficult!

Chu Yihan paid no mind and went out to welcome Su Yingxue.
