Both Lin Guifei and Prince Zhan sped back to Shengjing City.
The Imperial City, quiet for many days, was about to begin another undercurrent of intrigue.
Meanwhile, the Fourth Prince Consort was not idle.
The matchmaking promised for Lin Xingzhi and Miss Feng had finally seen progress.
The autumn in Shengjing City is very short, and by October, it had already started to cool down.
Mrs. Feng and Miss Feng, who had traveled to visit family in other parts of the country, returned.
This Miss Feng was the younger sister of Feng Qi.
Having just turned seventeen, she was renowned in Shengjing City for her virtuous character.
The suitors for her were relentless, enough to step over the threshold.
Yet, Mrs. Feng, reluctant to let her daughter marry high for compromise, low for hardship, had kept her until now.
Thus, after much inquiry, Mrs. Dong had her heart set.
The Feng family was straightforward, with a commendable family background.
