Chapter 339: Chapter 338 Yan Lin is Intercepted

Hearing her words, Lan Xin hesitated for a moment, but still replied softly, "The eldest young master did indeed return half an hour ago. But Miss Xie said that there were not many medicinal herbs left, so the eldest young master personally accompanied her out to buy medicine again."

As she answered, she cautiously observed Zhu Xinyue’s expression.

She knew that the eldest young lady had never liked Miss Xie.

But this time, after hearing the answer, Zhu Xinyue’s face did not show anger, she was more desolate.

"Everyone likes Xie Feifei, in the whole Zhu Residence, just I, the one who doesn’t know better," she said with a bitter smile.

"Miss, don’t talk like that." Seeing Zhu Xinyue’s pale face, Lan Xin was terribly anxious.

However, Zhu Xinyue looked at her with a calm gaze, then asked, "Xinyue, you tell me, what do you think of Xie Feifei?"

Lan Xin bit her lower lip several times, unable to speak her mind.

"Just tell me directly, I won’t be angry with you," Zhu Xinyue said, still very calm.

After gritting her teeth, Lan Xin made up her mind and quickly said, "Eldest young lady, I think, you need not harbor such strong ill will towards Miss Xie. She is really a good person, every servant in the mansion who falls ill, she personally makes medicine for them. Moreover, every time she goes out with the eldest young master, she buys the food you like and even buys clothes for you..."

"So, you think that the quarrels I have with her on regular days are because I am being unreasonable?"

Zhu Xinyue looked at Lan Xin, those eyes that were usually lively, seemed to have lost their vitality at this moment.

"No, that’s not what I meant, I just want to tell you, miss, that you can completely become friends with Miss Xie. The eldest young master, for all these years, besides you, has been close to her, maybe she will become your sister-in-law."

Lan Xin couldn’t help but spill out all her thoughts.

"Sister-in-law? But I, I don’t want that," Zhu Xinyue gave another bitterly cold laugh, muttering softly.

"Miss, I..."

Lan Xin was so anxious that she was about to kneel down.

But Zhu Xinyue stopped her by grabbing her collar this time.

"I asked you to speak, so whatever you say, I won’t be angry with you, nor will I punish you," Zhu Xinyue said indifferently.

"Miss, you..."

"I understand. From now on, I will try to get along with Xie Feifei." It’s just that she didn’t know whether Xie Feifei would want to get along with her.

Well, there was no use in saying any more.

Within this Zhu Residence, there was no longer anyone who would believe in her.

Father, elder brother, and even Lan Xin, who had grown up with her since she was a child, thought she was the bad one.

She...

Truly was left without support.

...

The hall.

Chu Baihan and the others were already seated.

"What about those three officers?" Chu Baihan glanced around the dining table, then asked Zhu Liqun.

"Reporting to Princess, those three officers are severely injured. They must not be exposed to the wind, so for these few days, their meals have all been served in their rooms. Does Princess wish to see them? I will have someone call them right away," Zhu Liqun said, ready to instruct the servants.

Chu Baihan immediately stopped him, "No need. The three officers are injured, they should rest well. I wonder who has been treating their injuries?"

"Reporting to Princess, it was Feifei," responded Zhu Liqun.

Just at that moment, the voice of Zhu Yinian came from the doorway.

Chu Baihan lifted her gaze and saw Zhu Yinian, dressed in ordinary clothes, walking in with a young girl.

The girl was graceful like the willows, with a pointed chin, resembling a white flower.

She was also dressed in a white dress, making her look like a perfect match with Zhu Yinian.

"Princess, this is Feifei. She has taken care of the wounded soldiers in the army and even the three officers," Zhu Yinian hurried to introduce Xie Feifei.

Chu Baihan had heard this name earlier in the day while in the military camp.

After all, the soldiers mentioned her name, saying that this Miss Xie was as beautiful and kind as a fairy.

"Your skills are indeed commendable, it is quite rare. You have worked hard these past few days, after we return to the capital city, I will report these matters to the Emperor and reward you accordingly," Chu Baihan said with a light voice.

Military doctors are always extremely important to an army, no matter the circumstances.

If Xie Feifei can make contributions to the Tongzhou army, then naturally, she will ensure the other party receives the appropriate rewards.

"Princess Xie. Your Highness, my medical skills are merely superficial and pale compared to yours. You have always been the one I admire."

Xie Feifei stepped forward, biting her lower lip, then spoke to Chu Baihan in a tone filled with admiration.

Her eyes seemed to swell with water as she looked anxiously at Chu Baihan.

But at that moment, Feng Shan directly stepped in between them.

He picked up the teapot and said in a calm voice, "Princess, let me pour tea for you."

Chu Baihan glanced at her teacup, which was still full.

Her expression...

Appeared somewhat eerie.

"Miss Xie, General Zhu, please take a seat."

Chu Baihan said softly.

Soon, Zhu Yinian and Xie Feifei sat down together in the seats next to them.

Chu Baihan looked up at the two of them.

On his left was Xie Feifei, and to his right was an empty seat.

It was as if it had been intentionally left vacant for someone.

It was evident that Miss Xie held quite an important place in his heart.

Shi Jing was seated quite far from Chu Baihan.

He bowed his head, sipping tea alone and dejectedly.

She seemed to treat everyone with equanimity and courtesy, except for him; toward him alone, she seemed rather prickly.

Chu Baihan glanced towards the door once more.

The sky had already darkened, so why had Yan Lin not yet returned?

Just then, her Hidden Guard strode in and whispered something in her ear.

A severe look flashed through her eyes instantly.

Yan Lin had discovered on the way back that the mountain road was blocked.

Taking a detour would require two more days of travel.

This was the message sent by carrier pigeon.

A mountain road blockage? How can this be so coincidental?

Chu Baihan felt quite somber.

However, she thought to herself that, thankfully, it was just a problem with the road and that Yan Lin and his men were all unharmed; at least that was some good news.

"Princess Xie? Is something wrong?"

Seeing that Chu Baihan looked troubled, Zhu Liqun immediately expressed his concern in a helpless tone.

"It’s nothing," Chu Baihan shook her head and said softly.

Speaking about the matters concerning Yan Lin’s troops would undoubtedly shake the army’s morale; it was best left unsaid.

The Tongzhou army could hold on for a while; Yan Lin just needed to return before that time.

"Go see what the young lady is doing! Why hasn’t she arrived yet?"

Zhu Liqun had checked the doorway several times, but Zhu Xinyue was nowhere to be seen.

He felt somewhat anxious.

This girl must be out of her mind to make the Princess wait for her.

Finally, Zhu Xinyue arrived late.

"Yueyue, why have you come so late? Hurry and apologize to the Princess," Zhu Liqun immediately scolded Zhu Xinyue.

"Princess, I..."

"No harm done. I am a guest as well, without so much formality. Let’s all eat; during these exceptional times, let’s not dwell on such matters," Chu Baihan interjected softly, with no intention of getting angry with Zhu Xinyue.
