The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 660: shameless
Chapter 660 Shameless
Lupin understood that this way he could show his loyalty to the Crown Prince and give a warning before he could figure out what the man who had made an appointment with the young lady was going to do.
“But… can we find out if we investigate openly like this? Who knows? Maybe the person didn’t leave his name when he booked the private room, or left a fake name?” Lupin frowned slightly.
“This person left a letter at the side door of the Princess Zhenguo Mansion, and did not sign his name… The Princess Zhenguo Mansion will definitely check it out. If he really wanted to invite us, he would have left useful information.” Bai Qingyan said.
“What the young lady said makes sense. I will do it now!” Lupin took the order and left.

In the front hall, Murong Li had just taken a sip of tea when he heard the Bai family’s servant say that Mr. Xiao had arrived…
Murong Li put down his teacup and stood up. As expected, he saw his ninth uncle walking around the wall shadow and talking to the steward of the Bai family as they walked towards the main hall. Yue Shi, who was following behind Xiao Rongyan, was carrying large and small boxes of supplements in his hands.
Outside, Murong Li was the prince of Dayan who was held hostage in Jin State, and Xiao Rongyan was the richest businessman in the world. Murong Li should not have bowed to Xiao Rongyan first. Thinking of this… Murong Li sat back.
Before Xiao Rongyan entered the room, he saw Murong Li sitting in the main hall drinking tea. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He stepped into the main hall and bowed to Murong Li: “Greetings, Prince Li…”
Murong Li stood up, bowed his head, and nodded slightly, his posture was very good: “Mr. Xiao, are you here to visit the Princess Zhenguo as well?”
“That’s right…” Xiao Rongyan said with a smile.
“Mr. Xiao!” Bai Jinzhi bowed to Xiao Rongyan as soon as he entered the room, “Bai Jinzhi would like to thank Mr. Xiao for protecting my Bai family!”
“It’s just a small favor. Miss Bai, you’re too kind!” Xiao Rongyan returned the greeting calmly.
“Mr. Xiao, please take a seat!” Bai Jinzhi greeted Xiao Rongyan, then turned around and saluted Murong Li, “Prince Li!”
“Princess Gaoyi, I wonder how the Princess Zhenguo is doing?” Murong Li called Bai Jinzhi by her title.
“My elder sister sleeps more and wakes up less, which has seriously damaged her vitality…” Bai Jinzhi’s voice suddenly choked up when she said this. She curled her lips with difficulty and made a gesture of invitation to Murong Li, “Prince Li, please sit down first!”
Murong Li nodded.
Bai Jinzhi sat down like her elder sister, dignified and serious, and then said, “Thank you both for coming to visit my elder sister, but my elder sister is in a condition that makes it impossible for her to see guests. I hope you can understand.”
“It’s okay. The Princess Zhenguo has only been injured for five days. She should rest in bed. I’m only here to deliver medicine…” Murong Li turned around and took a carved wooden box from the loyal servant behind him. He stood up and placed it on the table next to Bai Jinzhi. “This is the secret medicine of Dayan that my mother gave me when I came to Jin from Dayan. It is very precious and has great benefits for injuries. You can let Mr. Hong, the court doctor of your house, take a look at it. If he thinks there is no problem, you can give it to the Princess Zhenguo for a try.”
Xiao Rongyan looked at Murong Li.
Xiao Rongyan naturally knew how precious this secret medicine was. He was afraid that before Xiao Ali left, his sister-in-law would have searched the entire palace to give Xiao Ali such a box. He didn’t expect that Xiao Ali would actually give it to Yu Baiqingyan.
In Murong Li’s heart, although the Zhenguo Princess is still the Zhenguo Princess of Jin, she will be his ninth aunt in the future! And even if this relationship is not mentioned, Murong Li admires Bai Qingyan very much. If there is a possibility in the future… Murong Li also wants to persuade Bai Qingyan to work for Dayan.
Bai Jinzhi was heartless and didn’t know how to refuse… so she took the initiative to thank Bai Qingyan and accepted it. She said casually, “Just now, Huang’s Arong came to me and told me that the playboys who used to play with Prince Li and Lu Yuanpeng went to join the army and are back? Is it true?”
Murong Li nodded, “That’s right. I heard from them that… the hardships in the army were too hard and they couldn’t stand it. So… when the Jin Emperor transferred the new army to the border of Xiliang, they all wrote letters home, asking their elders to try to rescue them. But Lu Yuanpeng and Sima Ping were really impressive! Especially Lu Yuanpeng. I heard from them that when Lu Yuanpeng heard that he was going to Southern Xinjiang… he was like drinking bull blood and had to go.”
Bai Jinzhi nodded and asked, “I heard that they said the food in the army was not good, and that there was sand and gravel mixed in the rice. Military rations have always been carefully checked by the Ministry of Revenue, so how could there be sand and gravel mixed in? Could it be that these playboys…are saying this just to save face?”
Murong Li could tell that Bai Jinzhi was trying to trick him, but he didn’t show it on his face. He looked up calmly with his big eyes wide open. His gaze was sincere and clear. He looked at Bai Jinzhi innocently, without hiding anything. He said frankly, “Although I haven’t been with these young masters in the capital for a long time, I thought… they just like to play around and can’t stand hardships. They are definitely not the kind of people who can’t afford to lose face. They would never say such things to save face for themselves.”
Bai Jinzhi was stunned when he heard this, and nodded secretly, yes… Generally speaking, those playboys in the capital city want everything, but they are shameless! Led by Lu Yuanpeng!
Why would someone who doesn’t care about his face care about it?
It seems that this matter needs to be investigated in detail.
Xiao Rongyan has been patient for several days. He visited Bai Qingyan every day but never saw him. Xiao Rongyan could understand… After all, the Bai family announced to the public that Bai Qingyan was seriously injured, so how could they let a man like him meet him casually?
Bai Qingyan asked Xiao Rongyan to take the right path again…
It has been a few days and Xiao Rongyan could no longer wait. He originally thought that the person he would receive today would still be Second Madam Liu and he had already planned to reveal his true feelings to her. After all, many people in the capital city knew that Xiao Rongyan was in love with Princess Zhenguo.
Unexpectedly… the person who came today was Bai Jinzhi.
Xiao Rongyan stood up and bowed to Bai Jinzhi: “Today, I brought some calming spices for Miss Bai. I don’t know what flavor Miss Bai likes, so I brought a little of each so that Miss Bai can get rid of the smell of medicine when she changes the medicine! If it’s not too much trouble… can Miss Bai try which one works best… I will send someone to deliver the spice. I wonder if Miss Bai Si can do it for me… and present the spice to Miss Bai to try. I will be waiting in the main hall.”
As long as Bai Qingyan knew that he was waiting in the main hall, Bai Qingyan would know how much he missed her and would definitely find an excuse to let him into the inner courtyard.
If Bai Qingyan refuses, then Xiao Rongyan will have no choice but to use his old trick again and break into Bai Qingyan’s boudoir tonight.
Who knew that Bai Jinzhi was so rude that she only wanted to tell others that Bai Qingyan was seriously injured. With red eyes, she pretended to wipe away tears and said to Xiao Rongyan, “When I came out just now, my elder sister fell asleep again. Mr. Xiao was so kind that I took the place for my elder sister. It’s better to wait until my elder sister wakes up and let her choose. It’s not good to wake up my elder sister who just fell asleep.”
Xiao Rongyan: “…”
It looks quite realistic.
Murong Li held back his smile, knowing that his uncle was missing his aunt, so he put down his teacup and stood up to say goodbye.
