Li Yan obediently shook his head.
Upon hearing Li Yan's voice, Ming Lingyi, having just learned everything she needed from Cheng Yi, turned and walked toward the carriage parked at the docks.
As she turned, Ming Lingyi paused. After a moment's thought, she told Cheng Yi to rise.
"Whether you serve Li Yan or Li Yun, it's not my place to decide your punishment. Get up. And in the future, you don't need to kneel every time you see me. I can't bear such a gesture."
After saying this, Ming Lingyi no longer hesitated, striding toward Li Yan.
As for Cheng Yi, he didn't dare linger and quickly hurried after them.
Regardless, he was one of the Crown Prince's personal guards and could not leave His Highness's side.
He didn't dare take Ming Lingyi's words at face value.
Li Yan's arrival undoubtedly made Father Ming and Mrs. Ming overjoyed.
