Chapter 456: Chapter 456: How Terrifying It Is Chapter 456: Chapter 456: How Terrifying It Is Moreover, whether that girl wants to befriend those people or not, we are not her and can’t guess what she is thinking. Letting those people wait outside the mansion, isn’t it directly telling that girl that it’s the palace’s approval?
That girl is my life-saving benefactor, I must treat her with respect, how could I put her in an unjust situation?”
The Second Prince made a disapproving noise upon hearing the Elder Princess.
“I didn’t expect those people to be so cunning that they dared to exploit you!”
Apparently, it’s been a long time since he sat down for a chat with those noblemen in the mansions, had a friendly conversation, talked about matters of the heart. They all seem to think they have a great deal of power now.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to have a good talk with them soon!”
The Elder Princess responded with a hum.
Whatever the children do, as long as it’s not too outrageous, she won’t oppose it.
“Feng’er, how’s that person lately?” With a pivot, she glanced at the Eldest Prince, inquiring.
The Eldest Prince, upon hearing her question, fell silent for a moment. Although he didn’t want to answer, he had to speak eventually.
“Auntie, rest assured, Feng’er won’t let that man have it easy. As long as he stays in Jianan City for one day, he can’t expect things to go his way. The Emperor is keeping a close eye on him too – he just asked Feng’er about that man’s situation a few days ago.”
“Hmm, that’s good,” the Elder Princess nodded.
The three fell silent, as no one wanted to discuss the ‘man’ the Elder Princess was referring to.
Shortly after, Nanny Bai came back, followed by a girl. It was none other than Lin Caisang, who had just come from Zeng Yulang’s house and arrived at the Princess’ Mansion.
Since the Elder Princess was a female relative, Ya Molian didn’t enter, but found a place outside the mansion, sat down, and drank some tea while she waited.
“Huh, isn’t that Doctor Yulang’s daughter, why is she here?”
Seeing Lin Caisang coming towards them from afar, the Second Prince awkwardly stood up, as if wanting to vanish into thin air.
“Um, Auntie, Elder Imperial Brother, I have something to do, so I’m going to leave.”
With that, he didn’t dare to face Lin Caisang, but found a corner, climbed over the wall, and left.
What a child, does he only know how to hide when he does something wrong?
He, however, found it hilarious and muttered to himself. It seemed that their father and mother must have really lectured the Second Imperial Brother harshly, to the point that he was terrified to see Lin Caisang.
Lin Caisang, watching the figure rushing away, was speechless.
Was she a wolf or tiger that he needed to run away so fast upon seeing her? He had seen her several times before and never acted so strangely. It’s as if she were terrifying.
“Nanny Bai, was that the Second Prince just now?” She asked Nanny Bai, who was leading the way for her.
“In response to Miss, yes, that was the Second Prince. He probably had some urgent matter to attend to, hence leaving in advance.” Nanny Bai promptly answered, thinking it over, she helped to cover for the Second Prince.
It wasn’t really the Second Prince’s fault, normally, he had no issues meeting Lin Caisang.
But no one knew what the Emperor and the Empress were thinking lately. They summoned the Second Prince to the palace every day, and each time he returned, he always had a helpless expression, complaining that his parents treated an outsider like a relative and treated him, their biological son, like an adopted child.
It seemed that the Emperor and the Empress must have admonished the Second Prince not so gently, putting Lin Caisang on a pedestal in front of him. The Second Prince must be afraid of feeling awkward upon seeing Lin Caisang.
