Chapter 209: Chapter 209 These People Have Gone Mad

"Do you have the confidence that you can identify the person based on that hair?"

Chu Baihan continued to speak.

She had a strong intuition that Jian Yun might be able to surprise her.

"No way, identifying someone based on a single hair... that’s too difficult..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Lian next to her shook his head frantically at first.

But Jian Yun nodded at Chu Baihan very firmly, "Princess, I can try."

After speaking, she quickly walked towards Chu Baihan, completely ignoring the shocked expression in Yan Lian’s eyes.

She followed Chu Baihan, examining the heads of all the servant girls one by one.

She shook her head: "None of them."

"None of them?" Chu Baihan’s eyes darkened slightly.

"Let’s look at the men then." She continued to speak.

Thus, Jian Yun began to check the heads of these men.

"Princess, not them either," Jian Yun continued to shake her head.

"Are all the people from the Commandery Prince Residence here?" Chu Baihan continued to ask Xiang Yuan.

"To report to the Princess, except for our Commandery Prince and Madam, and the concubines, the rest are all here," Xiang Yuan stated with certainty.

"Princess, that hair should belong to someone young, it shouldn’t belong to the Commandery Prince and his lady," Jian Yun softly reminded at this moment.

"Steward Xiang, how many concubines does the Princess Consort Residence have in total?" Chu Baihan asked sharply.

"O-one, there are a total of twenty-three," Xiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, then stuttered in reply, his tone quite embarrassed.

Twenty-three?

Upon hearing this, Yan Lian couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

This Commandery Prince really is vigorous in old age, keeping so many concubines.

Noticing Yan Lian’s strange look, Xiang Yuan blushed and explained, "Those concubines, actually, have nothing to do with the Commandery Prince. It’s just that the Princely Heir brought back many women, and some, after losing their innocence, couldn’t be compensated with any amount of money, so the Commandery Prince had the Princely Heir marry them..."

"But, but the Princely Heir said that if he married a concubine, he would be in a difficult position to marry you, Princess, so he refused no matter what."

What?

This Xiang Zhang is shameless enough, actually wanting to marry the eighth Prince’s wife?

The moment a certain Prince Yan heard this, his face turned dark instantly.

If Xiang Zhang wasn’t already dead, he would have to shred him into pieces.

"So, the Commandery Prince had no choice but to marry those women himself, is that it?" Chu Baihan asked coldly.

"Yes, that’s right," Xiang Yuan nodded stiffly, bracing himself.

"Absurd!"

At that moment, Shi Jing spoke out angrily.

Clearly, he had also just learned about the situation at the Commandery Prince Residence, and he was angered by such behavior as well.

The Commandery Prince did provide those women a temporary place, but...

But this was harming them!

And Xiang Zhang would not learn from his mistakes.

Xiang Yuan felt that the Commandery Prince Residence was at fault, so he quickly lowered his head, looking embarrassed.

"I would like to see those concubines," Chu Baihan said coldly.

But at that moment, Xiang Yuan firmly refused.

"Princess, these concubines are very resistant to seeing strangers and have quite bad tempers. It would be better for you not to see them," he said.

"Steward Xiang, are you worried that our Princess will discover the secrets of your Commandery Prince Residence?"

Just then, a cool voice came through.

Immediately after, Nan Xing walked out from the Princess Consort Residence.

Seeing Nan Xing at that instant, Shi Jing frowned slightly.

Realizing something, his penetrating gaze turned to Chu Baihan: "Princess, you actually let your servant sneak in?"

"General Shi need not be so furious. The Princess merely wanted to clarify some truths," Chu Baihan spoke coldly.

"Nan Xing, what did you see inside?"

Realizing Xiang Yuan’s expression was very tense, Chu Baihan immediately asked Nan Xing in earnest.

Nan Xu strode over, casting a glance at Xiang Yuan before huffing coldly, "If I hadn’t sneaked into the Princess Consort Residence just now, I’m afraid all those filthy deeds you’re hiding would still be secret."

Turning to her, she spoke respectfully to Chu Baihan, "Princess, there are indeed more than twenty concubines living in the backyard of the Princess Consort Residence, but there is something not quite right about these concubines."

"Not quite right?"

"Yes, they seemed like they’ve all gone mad," Nan Xing said gravely.

"Nan Xing, lead the way. Today, this princess must indeed see what else the Princess Consort Residence is hiding from us."

Chu Baihan spoke in a cold voice.

"Is the Eldest Princess intending to force her way into the Princess Consort Residence?" Shi Jing’s face darkened.

"General Shi, it seems something has happened at the Princess Consort Residence. Do you still intend to hide it?"

Just at that moment, Tang Ze blocked Chu Baihan’s path, his cool gaze fixed on Shi Jing.

"Who are you?" Shi Jing immediately challenged.

But Tang Ze had no intention of answering him.

Turning his head, he said in a low voice to Chu Baihan, "You go in first. Leave this to me to handle."

"Alright."

Chu Baihan nodded, then led her people into the Princess Consort Residence.

"Impossible, Eldest Princess, impossible. The Commandery Prince said no one else is allowed in the Princess Consort Residence!"

Xiang Yuan spoke in a panic, even attempting to stop Chu Baihan.

As a result, Tang Yu rested his sword on Xiang Yuan’s neck.

"My sword has a mind of its own, so you’d better be careful. Otherwise, if you lose your head, it won’t be easy to explain to King Yama," Tang Yu said with a cold laugh.

"Who are you, really?" Shi Jing’s gaze grew colder as he looked at Tang Ze.

"My identity is of no importance to General Shi. What you should be concerned about is, if the Princess Consort Residence really has done something, could it be that you are an accomplice?" Tang Ze said in a haunting voice.

"How dare you!"

Infuriated, Shi Jing drew his sword intending to confront Tang Ze.

"Tang Yu, the sword."

Tang Ze also held out his hand, and Tang Yu quickly tossed the sword to him.

"You’re injured. Are you sure you want to cross swords with this general?" Shi Jing examined Tang Ze from head to toe.

"Why not?"

Tang Ze snorted coldly and then began to ready his sword.

...

Meanwhile, Chu Baihan entered the Princess Consort Residence and immediately had the gates closed.

Thus, even if Xiang Yuan was frantic, it was futile, for they could not even get through the gate.

"Princess, this way."

Nan Xing quickly led Chu Baihan to the backyard.

"Are you saying over twenty concubines are living here?"

Chu Baihan stood at the entrance of a courtyard, asking Nan Xing in astonishment.

Didn’t the concubines of ordinary households each have their own courtyard?

"Yes, Princess, all the concubines are crammed in here," Nan Xing said through clenched teeth.

The Hidden Guard swiftly opened the door.

The moment the door swung open, two women with disheveled hair and filthy bodies lunged out.

"I want to eat, I want to eat. Don’t hit me, just give me food..."

They clung to Chu Baihan’s sleeves, gnawing at them.

Nan Xing tried to pull them away, but Chu Baihan spoke softly, "Don’t agitate them."

"Alright, calm down. I will give you all food in a moment," she said.

Chu Baihan did not mind their dirtiness and directly stroked their heads, soothingly saying.
