Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Taking Credit for Someone Else’s Work

Afternoon.

Waking from her nap, Lin Fuying heard a commotion outside and couldn’t help but ask, "What’s going on outside?"

Dong Yue quickly gathered information and returned.

"The General’s wife from Zhenyuan Prefecture has come to express her gratitude, claiming that a girl from our residence saved her young son’s life."

Lin Fuying’s eyelids twitched slightly, and she propped herself up a bit.

"The General’s wife from Zhenyuan Prefecture?"

"Yes."

"Did she mention who saved the young master?"

Dong Yue didn’t understand why Lin Fuying was interested in this matter, but she still responded, "No. The young master only saw the badge of our War God Residence and mentioned that the girl was wearing a light green dress."

"Did the young master also come?"

"No, I heard he’s recuperating in the residence. It’s just the General’s wife who brought gifts, presumably to ask the Prince to search the residence for the girl. Hence, quite a few bodyguards and servants have been mobilized."

After Dong Yue finished, she curiously said, "Your Highness, who do you think the girl could be? She’s so formidable. The only person with medical skills in our residence is Bai Wuheng..."

"It was me," Lin Fuying interrupted her.

Dong Yue was taken aback.

Lin Fuying looked at her with eyes that were no longer gentle and harmless as before, but rather fierce.

"Didn’t I go out today? I was wearing a light green dress."

Dong Yue looked at the lotus root silk dress she was wearing and was confused for a moment.

Lin Fuying spoke meaningfully, "If you want to have the position that Nanny Hua had by my side before, you’ll have to understand what I’m saying."

Dong Yue met her gaze and involuntarily swallowed, her heartbeat quickening, and she felt the urge to retreat.

Lin Fuying said nothing more and hurriedly turned to enter the room.

Left standing there, Dong Yue felt a raging storm in her heart; yet, strangely, she felt that this was exactly what Concubine Lin was like.

She saw all the small clues from the past, but she never took them to heart.

Soon after, Lin Fuying reappeared, dressed in a light green chiffon dress. Although it was not exactly the same as the one Chu Nanli had worn today, it was quite similar.

That damn Chu Nanli was really lucky, saving a life with her minimal medical skills, and the life she saved was the son of the General Family!

Seriously, fortune was blind.

But even if she had the skill to save someone, she didn’t have the skill to keep the credit for it.

The honorable identity of the savior from the General Residence must belong to her, Lin Fuying.

"Let’s go, accompany me to the main courtyard to meet the Prince and the General’s wife from Zhenyuan Prefecture."

Lin Fuying’s lips curved into a slight smile as she spoke, not at all worried that Dong Yue would betray her now that she knew her true nature.

As expected, Dong Yue bowed her head and replied.

"Yes, this servant will always look up to you, Your Highness."

The smile on Lin Fuying’s lips widened, "As long as you perform well, I won’t mistreat you."

...

"Princess Consort, we’re short a few pieces of wood; we’ll have to get them from the west side of the complex. I will go ask the Prince’s steward for permission first."

The lumber reserved inside the Prince Residence was all high-quality, each piece quite valuable. Therefore, whenever any courtyard needed it for any purpose, they had to inform the steward.

Chu Nanli had just finished refining a batch of pills and came out of the space to rest. Upon hearing this, a thought struck her.

She wanted to make some small toys for her two unborn children and happened to need some wood, so she decided to go to the west side of the complex and see if there were suitable raw materials.

Immediately, she stood up and said, "This princess will go with you."

"Yes."

Before long, they reached the main courtyard.

Chu Nanli hadn’t entered yet when she heard the voice of Lin Fuying.

"When I encountered the young master, he was lying on the ground in pain, almost suffocating. Combining some of the other symptoms, it wasn’t hard to determine the cause was an allergy."

Chu Nanli paused slightly in her steps.

Why did this situation sound so familiar?

Another unfamiliar woman’s voice sounded.

"Oh? I’ve never heard that Miss Lin had medical knowledge."

"Speaking of which, I am ashamed; it’s just that I followed Brother Wuhen and learned a little. Luckily, the young master’s situation was not complicated, and Yingying’s skills were sufficient to be of help."

Bai Wuheng’s voice followed promptly, "I saw that Yingying was intelligent and grasped the medical concepts with just a hint, so I taught her some medical skills."

The unfamiliar woman asked again, "After saving my son, why did Miss Lin leave without revealing herself? Could it be you were worried that if something went wrong, Zhenyuan General Residence would cause trouble?"

The question was somewhat unpleasant, but the tone didn’t seem to carry any extra implications and didn’t come across as aggressive. It was simply a question from someone of a higher status wanting to understand the situation clearly.

Lin Fuying replied embarrassingly, "Yingying didn’t know that was the young master from Zhenyuan General Residence. Saving someone was just an act of following my heart. So, after saving the person, Yingying didn’t want the rescued person to feel burdened and left quietly. However, I never expected that the person I saved would be the young master of your esteemed residence."

"Even more unexpected for Yingying was that you personally came here. Both emotionally and logically, Yingying should no longer hide, so as not to waste your trip."

Her words were watertight, yet they made Chu Nanli’s fists clench outside the courtyard.

A chill flickered through Chu Nanli’s eyes.

She could now confirm that Lin Fuying was taking credit for the life she saved that day!
