Chapter 653 - 650: Fairness_1
Mrs. Liu was shaking all over with panic. When she stepped over the threshold, her legs wouldn’t lift, and she almost tripped. Fortunately, Nanny Luo next to her supported her, and they stumbled to the veranda of the main room.
Xiao Rongyan stood under the eaves. When he saw the Second Madam Mrs. Liu stepping onto the steps, he bowed deeply to her. "Mrs. Bai, please allow me to wait here for news. As soon as I know that Miss Bai is safe, I will leave."
If Xiao Rongyan hadn’t brought people today and arranged troops in the front yard, those thieves wouldn’t have been stopped outside the first gate of Princess of Zhen. Mrs. Liu was already grateful to him. Now she couldn’t be bothered with Xiao Rongyan and choked back her tears, nodding before stepping into the main room of Qinghui Courtyard.
Lu Ping performed a salute to Xiao Rongyan. "Mr. Xiao, please wait in the side room for a while!"
Xiao Rongyan nodded and followed Lu Ping to the side room for tea. But he couldn’t sit still at all. Hearing movements from the main room, he stood up and walked to the eaves. He saw Mrs. Liu and Nanny Luo hurriedly leaving, muttering something about an ancient wild ginseng she had luckily kept and that it would definitely be useful.
Xiao Rongyan stared anxiously at the dripping rain curtain under the eaves.
Inside the main room.
Bai Qingyan had Doctor Hong create an excuse to send Mrs. Liu away. She slowly sat up and spoke, "This serious injury was set up by me so I could safely return to Shuoyang! Doctor Hong... if the Crown Prince comes to ask later, tell him my injury is severe, and I won’t live for more than a few years."
Doctor Hong had already examined Bai Qingyan’s injury. It indeed hadn’t harmed vital organs, showing the shooter’s extraordinary archery skills.
Bai Jinse bit her lip hard, feeling even worse knowing it was Bai Qingyan’s plan.
