Lin Jingyue had no particular objections. She went to see Pei Zhijin once more, offering a few smiling words of warning to ensure that the girl wouldn't get too bold just because she was leaving the Capital.
Ever since Tang Jingyan had been driven out of the estate, life had become much easier for Pei Zhijin. This was especially true now that Tang Yingliu had been assigned a new instructress; it was said that the Crown Princess had petitioned the Empress Dowager to send Mammy Liu to the Fourth Princess’s estate for tutoring instead. The new instructress held higher credentials than Mammy Liu—she had once tutored the Empress herself. Terrified, Tang Yingliu no longer dared to cause trouble, hiding away in her courtyard day after day, not even daring to utter a single foul word, pinning all her hopes on marrying into the Third Prince's estate as soon as possible.
Hearing the Crown Princess’s veiled warning, Pei Zhijin smiled and accepted it gracefully. "It is quite unfortunate that the Crown Princess is leaving the Capital at this time. Several of my brothers and close kin from other aristocratic families are planning to arrive in the Capital soon to prepare for the autumn examinations next year."
