I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1242

Chapter 1242: Chapter 472: Saintess Gu: Mentor, I’m a Professional!

Lady Jin Yun did not think much of it after hearing those words. She glanced around to ensure no one was near, then spoke in a low voice, "I just heard Lady Chen say that the Empress spoke with her specifically and seemed to not agree with the marriage alliance between the Chen and Shen families. Moreover, His Majesty personally spoke of having Chen Mo participate in selecting a suitor, so it seems there might be changes to this matter..."

"If Chen Mo truly becomes the Prince Consort, given the Princess’s strong personality, she is unlikely to agree to him taking a concubine. At that time, obtaining a status would be even more difficult."

With that said, Lady Jin Yun sighed helplessly.

Being a widow herself, she deeply understood how hard it was to live alone.

Lin Jingzhu was immersed in solving cases all day long and showed no interest in romance. She had originally planned to give up, but now she finally met a man she liked, and such an outstanding one at that, she would take hold of this opportunity no matter what!

"If necessary, I will risk this old face of mine, stir the matter up, and let the people of the world judge it!"

"Your father sacrificed himself for the country, for the honor of the Lin Family and the Imperial Family. I’ve been a widow for so many years without ever voicing a complaint, so why should my daughter’s happiness be deprived as well?"

The more Lady Jin Yun thought about it, the angrier she became. She was about to storm into the palace to reason with the Empress.

Lin Jingzhu hurriedly pulled her back, persuading, "Mother, calm down. The matter of selecting a suitor was decided by the Emperor; even Aunt can’t take charge of it. Besides, if you head out blindly, aren’t you putting the Chen Family in a difficult position?"

After hearing those words, Lady Jin Yun also calmed down and frowned, "Then what do you suggest? Should we just sit and wait for demise?"

Lin Jingzhu shook her head and said, "It’s just participating in the suitor selection, not a foregone conclusion. The result is still uncertain, and I believe in Mr. Chen; he will surely handle this matter properly."

"Hmm?"

Lady Jin Yun paused for a moment, looking somewhat skeptical.

This girl was usually more impatient than her. In the past, she would have already rebelled in such situations; why did she seem so calm today, as if she had taken a calming pill?

"Did Chen Mo say something to you?" She stretched her head to peek into the room.

"We are mutually in love, spiritually connected, no need for much to be said." Lin Jingzhu shut the door with the back of her hand, wrapped her arm around Lady Jin Yun’s, and walked toward the front courtyard. "Come on, let’s head back quickly. Staying absent for too long might cause others to worry."

"Alright..."

"By the way, it’s strange how Qin Shu seems quite taken with Chen Mo, subtly probing for news, but I remember her family has a son... Something feels off..."

The two walked farther, and the air quieted down.

A moment later, the air blurred, and three figures gradually emerged.

Chen Mo carried a cat in his left hand and Ji Lianxing in his right, both still fluttering incessantly.

Given the current situation, staying at the Chen Mansion was impossible for the time being; if Mrs. Yan turned up again, it’d be beyond clearing up, even if one jumped into the Yellow River to wash.

"It’s better to first seek refuge at the Imperial Music Bureau and sort this out."
