The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 476: Prince’s person
Chapter 476 The Prince’s Men
Li glared at Bai Jinzhi and poked him hard on the forehead. All the words she wanted to say went into her stomach. It was inevitable that no one would remain uninjured when going to the battlefield!
Of all the girls in my family who have been to the battlefield, which one is not injured? It is a blessing to be able to save my life!
“Aunt San, it’s okay. Doctor Huang prescribed some medicine for me and told me to apply it regularly when I get back…the scar won’t be too obvious in the future!” Bai Qingyan comforted Li.
Li nodded and said, “Don’t stand at the door anymore, let’s go back and talk!”
Mrs. Dong held Dong Tingzhen’s hand, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, smiled and nodded.
The whole family walked in lively and cheerfully. When Nanny Qin heard Lupin ordering people to move Dong Tingzhen’s luggage in first, she hurried down the high steps and went in person to greet the nanny and maid from the Dong family who came with Dong Tingzhen.
Not seeing Dong Tingzhen’s personal maid Haitang, Nanny Qin was slightly startled and glanced at Dong Tingzhen who was just entering the Bai Mansion. Without asking any questions, she walked in with the Nannies and maids of the Dong family with a smile.
The whole family gathered together and asked about the situation on the battlefield. Seeing that Bai Qingyan was holding little Bai Wanqing tightly, Fifth Madam Qi smiled and asked the wet nurse to take the child over, and told Bai Qingyan and Bai Jinzhi to rest quickly.
Li dragged Bai Jinzhi back to her own yard, asked people to prepare water, and checked whether Bai Jinzhi had any other injuries.
Now that Dong Tingzhen was here, Mrs. Dong couldn’t ignore her, so she accompanied Dong Tingzhen to see the small courtyard prepared for her. Chuntao accompanied Bai Qingyan to Boyun Courtyard.
Along the way, Chuntao never stopped talking. After asking Bai Qingyan if he was injured, she told Bai Qingyan about the lively situation at the family of the clan leader Bai Qihe.
Nanny Tong was waiting at the door with a group of servants from the Boyun Courtyard. When she saw Bai Qingyan from a distance, she trotted over to greet her. After she bowed, she took Bai Qingyan’s hand, looked her up and down, and asked, “Miss, did your trip to the northern border go smoothly? Where did you get hurt?”
During this period, Chuntao and Nanny Tong were both very worried, fearing that Bai Qingyan would say something bad.
After all, going to the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang is not like going to Southern Xinjiang. At least there is the Bai family army in Southern Xinjiang, but if you go to Northern Xinjiang, the young lady will only be with the twenty Bai family guards she brought with her.
“No, Madam! I’m not injured! Not at all!” Bai Qingyan smiled at Madam Tong, holding Madam Tong’s hand and walking towards Boyun Courtyard, “Madam and Chuntao have worked hard during my absence.”
“Big girl!”
“Big girl!”
The maids and servants of Boyun Court were all at the door, smiling and bowing to Bai Qingyan.
A little maid chattered to Bai Qingyan, saying that Nanny Tong had gotten up early in the morning to make snacks that the eldest girl liked. There was still some chilled sour plum soup for the eldest girl in the small kitchen. She asked Bai Qingyan if she wanted to secretly drink a few sips of the cool soup.
Bai Qingyan has a cold body, so sometimes he would secretly drink a few sips of iced sour plum soup in the summer. As long as it wasn’t excessive, Nanny Tong would turn a blind eye.
“Okay!” Bai Qingyan nodded with a smile.
“The bath water is always warm. Miss, do you drink the sour plum soup after bathing, or drink the sour plum soup before bathing?”
“Take a bath first!”
“Okay!”
Returning to the place where there are family and loyal servants, it feels like returning home. Bai Qingyan sat there happily watching Nanny Tong and Chuntao busying around.
After taking a bath and changing his clothes, Bai Qingyan sat at the desk and read the letter that Bai Jinxiu from Dadu City had just sent. Chuntao stood behind Bai Qingyan and twisted his hair.
Bai Jinxiu said in the letter that the marriage between Prince Liang and Liu Ruofu had been finalized.
But the strange thing is, there are rumors outside that someone saw Liu Ruofu escorting Prince Liang out of the home of her grandfather, the Minister of Rites Wang Lao Da, and the two were still flirting at the door, but… Bai Jinxiu heard from several ladies that Liu Ruofu said at first that she would never marry Prince Liang, but her innocence was indeed gone. Old Madam Wang was so angry that she fainted several times. Several ladies of the Wang family also cursed Liu Ruofu behind her back. After all, something happened to Liu Ruofu in the Wang family, and the reputation of all the daughters of the Wang family would be ruined. As a result, Liu Ruofu still said that she would not marry.
Old Lady Wang asked Liu Ruofu who had ruined her innocence by not marrying Prince Liang, but Liu Ruofu had no idea who had taken her innocence. With the consolation of Old Lady Wang, who had always loved Liu Ruofu, Liu Ruofu finally nodded. Now they just had to wait for Prince Xian to come to Dadu from Nandu, and the marriage between the two would be settled. They would probably get married.
In addition, regarding the exchanges between the Prince of Liang’s Mansion and the Prince of Jiuqu Lane’s Mansion, probably because of the incident involving Prince Liang, the two families have not had any exchanges for a while, so it is difficult to investigate and we need to wait a little longer.
After reading the letter, Bai Qingyan was not surprised by the rumor that Liu Ruofu sent Prince Liang out of the palace. After all, it was she who sent people to spread the rumor.
But… is Liu Ruofu’s innocence really gone?
Logically speaking, it shouldn’t…
To be safe, the prince’s men must have knocked Liu Ruofu and King Liang unconscious. Besides, King Liang was not someone who could be swayed by aphrodisiacs. If he was given a moment to catch his breath, he would wake up and see Liu Ruofu and realize that he had been tricked. Would he stay in the palace until then and be tricked? !
Absolutely not!
Could it be that… it was the Crown Prince who instructed someone to deliberately tarnish Liu Ruofu’s innocence?
Bai Qingyan lit the letter and put it into the pen wash in front of him…
The prince would definitely not want King Liang to really marry Liu Ruofu, so the prince would certainly not really let anyone tarnish Liu Ruofu’s innocence and frame King Liang.
But the people who brought Prince Liang and Liu Ruofu together were indeed the prince’s men.
Could it be that the prince’s men were attracted by her beauty?
That’s too bold!
It would probably take some time to investigate this matter. Bai Jinxiu was pregnant now, and she didn’t want to make Bai Jinxiu worry anymore, so she wrote a letter and asked it to be sent directly to the Grand Princess, leaving the matter to Wei Zhong to investigate.
Bai Qingyan had just finished writing the letter when Nanny Tong opened the Xiangfei bamboo curtain and came in. She walked around the screen and saluted to Bai Qingyan, saying, “Miss, Bai Qingping and Shen Yancong are outside asking to see you.”
“Our eldest girl just came back, and she hasn’t even caught her breath yet…” Chuntao felt sorry for Bai Qingyan.
“It’s probably about the military training. The eldest young lady has been away for these days, and the two of them must have a lot of things to report to her.” Nanny Tong could understand.
Originally, Nanny Tong’s son Zeng Shanru wanted to see the eldest lady to report on the mine matters as soon as the eldest lady came back, but Nanny Tong stopped him and asked him to come again tomorrow.
Bai Qingyan sealed the letter and said, “Mammy, ask them to wait in the front hall. I’ll be right there!”
“yes!”
Just as Nanny Tong turned around, she heard Bai Qingyan say again: “Mammy, if Zeng Shanru is free, please send someone to call him to see me. I have something to ask.”
“Yes!” Nanny Tong responded.
Bai Qingyan changed her clothes, tied her hair up simply, and went to the front yard to meet Bai Qingping and Shen Yancong.
When Shen Yancong saw Bai Qingyan coming in, he knelt down and kowtowed: “Greetings, Princess Zhenguo!”
