Chapter 342: Chapter 341: The More You Rectify

"They certainly have paid with their lives, but my mother will never come back, she’s dead. I always feel that it is my fault, if I hadn’t insisted on eating that piece of meat, my mother wouldn’t have gone out that night..."

Zhu Xinyue cried into a figure of tears.

"It’s not your fault. The ones at fault are those animals."

Chu Baihan’s mood was also very heavy as she comforted Zhu Xinyue.

Sniffling, Zhu Xinyue asked with a blank tone, "Princess, whenever it comes to matters involving Xie Feifei and me, my father and my brother always refuse to believe me, you..."

"This Princess believes you," Chu Baihan said directly.

What?

Zhu Xinyue turned her head in shock.

"Why?" she asked, her voice trembling.

She wanted to ask why the Princess, whom she had met only a few times, would choose to firmly believe in her.

While her big brother and father, who had lived with her for so many years, did not believe her.

"Because you said so, this Princess is willing to believe," Chu Baihan replied indifferently.

Her way of dealing with people was very simple; she only believed in her own judgment.

From the beginning, when she saw Zhu Xinyue, she felt there was nothing wrong with her, so why wouldn’t she be trustworthy?

Hearing Chu Baihan’s words, Zhu Xinyue’s heart quivered faintly.

It seemed, ever since her mother passed away, no one had ever trusted her so unreservedly.

Not even her big brother.

"Princess, thank you."

Zhu Xinyue took a deep breath and then thanked Chu Baihan.

Her voice was very soft, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

But she clearly knew that from this moment on, her state of mind had changed a bit.

...

"Brother Yinian, I’m sorry, I served Yueyue the dish today. I only remembered you telling me she loves Dongpo pork, but I forgot about what happened to your mother..."

Inside the carriage, Xie Feifei spoke in a pitiful tone.

Zhu Yinian looked up and could see her eyes brimming with tears, ready to fall at any moment.

His heart softened, and his voice carried a hint of tenderness, "Feifei, I’ve already told you, it wasn’t intentional, none of us will blame you. Yueyue is a sensible girl; she won’t dwell on this matter either."

"But, I clearly saw that Yueyue’s mood was a bit off just now, was it me..."

Xie Feifei bit her lower lip, looking extremely nervous.

"Don’t worry, Yueyue will understand. She’s always been sensible," Zhu Yinian said, comforting Xie Feifei and defending his sister at the same time.

"Yes, Yueyue is indeed a sensible girl. She won’t be angry with me over such a trivial matter..."

Xie Feifei looked down, hiding the resentment in her eyes.

When she looked up again, she had returned to her gentle and graceful demeanor.

"These past few days in the military camp, I often saw that Deputy General Su inquiring about Yueyue. He is talented and genuinely fond of Yueyue. Yueyue has reached the age for marriage, perhaps..."

Xie Feifei tentatively spoke.

Deputy General Su?

Su Gaoxuan?

Zhu Yinian frowned, remembering that he indeed had such a subordinate.

Though young, he was fierce in battle and got along very well with his fellow soldiers.

He seemed, indeed, to be a decent man.

But...

"Yueyue is still young; we can talk about the matter of marriage later. Moreover, Yueyue is someone with her own opinions. If I were to arrange her marriage, I am sure she would be unhappy."

Zhu Yinian quickly rejected Xie Feifei’s suggestion.

Every word and sentence was in defense of Zhu Xinyue.

Xie Feifei’s teeth were practically grinding to dust.

Rage was welling up in her heart; that Zhu Family father and son, they seemed displeased with Zhu Xinyue on the surface, but deep down, they still cherished her.

Brother Yinian, once you learn of the filthy thoughts that little wretch Zhu Xinyue harbors for you, I hope you can remain as composed as you are now.

Bowing her head, Xie Feifei’s eyes revealed strands of spite, like the tongue of a venomous snake.

Sooner or later,

I will make Zhu Xinyue and the entire Zhu Family, utterly disillusioned.

...

Military camp, late at night.

Chu Baihan was in her own tent.

The candlelight still flickered, as she continued to instruct her Hidden Guard, "You must find Prince Yan Lin and lend him a helping hand. It doesn’t matter if the troops and horses aren’t brought back. What this Princess cares about is his safety."

Chu Baihan’s voice was incredibly resolute.

In her heart, nothing was more important than Yan Lin’s safety.

Call her an ordinary person if you will, or even an irresponsible Princess.

But she did care about the people of Nanduan Kingdom.

She was even willing to risk her very life to protect her homeland.

However, she couldn’t let anything happen to Yan Lin.

Upon hearing Chu Baihan’s words, the Hidden Guard looked up in shock.

But they understood her feelings, and so they firmly responded, "Princess, rest assured, even at the cost of our lives, we will protect Prince Yan Lin."

Having said that, they left the tent.

As the curtain was lifted, Chu Baihan saw Feng Shan standing at the entrance.

It seemed as if he had been standing there for a long time.

"Xinyue... Yueyue, what brings you here?" Chu Baihan frowned slightly and asked with bewilderment.

"Princess, this servant has come to add a blanket for you," Feng Shan said with a lowered head and a submissive tone.

Only then did Chu Baihan realize that he was carrying bedding in his arms.

Looking back at her own bed, it was indeed bare.

"Alright, come in," she nodded.

Feng Shan quickly brought over the blanket and neatly made the bed.

But after he had finished, he didn’t leave in a hurry.

He stood in place and then looked up, asking Chu Baihan in a very forlorn tone, "Princess, do you like Miss Zhu very much?"

No one knew in what heart he asked this question.

Under his long sleeves, his fingers were full of scars.

Those were marks made by his own sharp fingernails, along with blood that had dripped down, but he felt no pain.

Because that was nothing compared to the oppression in his heart.

He desperately needed an answer.

Chu Baihan didn’t notice his abnormality and replied indifferently, "She is a very interesting girl. The reason this Princess helped her multiple times today must be because... I see a reflection of myself in her, I suppose."

Equally cherished by her father but also had her trust shattered by him.

"So, Princess’s kindness towards someone is only because she sees your own reflection in them."

Feng Shan could not hide his emotions; his voice became sharp, tinged with an interrogative tone.

"Xinyue, you are becoming too presumptuous!"

Chu Baihan’s expression immediately cooled down.

Was it because she had been too lenient with Chen Yuexin that she had recently begun to act so overstep?

Feng Shan, upon hearing this rebuke, finally regained his senses.

He controlled his trembling body, then lowered his head and managed to say with feigned composure, "Princess, this servant is worried that you are being deceived by others."
