Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Chu Baihan Assaults Someone at Prince Lin’s Residence

"Come, someone..."

The remaining two maidservants cried out in panic upon seeing the situation.

The guards of the Prince Residence swarmed out, each wielding a sword, aiming it cautiously at Chu Baihan.

"What is happening here?" Ziyi and Ziwu just returned from outside at that time, striding in. They too looked very grave upon seeing the scene.

They glanced at Chu Baihan, quickly recalling the report from other Hidden Guards— the Prince had brought the Princess Consort’s maidservant.

Could it be this one?

"Lady Dongqing?" Ziyi tentatively called out.

Receiving no response, Ziyi, undeterred, spoke again, "Lady Dongqing, this is the premises of the Prince Residence, and it is wrong for you to intentionally harm someone."

Wrong?

Chu Baihan sneered coldly, pulling out a dagger from her person and stabbing it into the shoulder of one of the maidservants. The victim screamed in agony.

"Lord Ziying, my temperament follows our Princess, I just enjoy doing things contrary to others!" Chu Baihan threw the maidservant to the ground, turned back, and stared coldly at Ziying.

In that instant, Ziying was startled by her gaze.

After snapping out of it, he felt a lingering fear.

A maidservant, yet she had such an eye?

"What about it?"

The commotion had grown too large, drawing Yan Lian, who sternly observed everyone involved.

The injured maidservant, seeing this, quickly dragged her injured body to Yan Lian’s feet.

Crying out loudly, she said, "Ninth Prince, this woman is too malicious, she even dared to harm a servant in front of the lady."

Yan Lian bowed his head and saw that a dagger was still lodged in the shoulder of the maidservant, with blood streaming profusely, a ghastly sight.

He gasped in shock.

How come this maidservant called Dongxia, and the sister of the Eighth Prince behave so similarly, both equally ruthless?

"Uncle Emperor, I don’t like her," the little girl continued, tugging unhappily at Yan Lian’s sleeve.

Yan Lian frowned, his eyes darted toward Chu Baihan.

Although this maidservant was from the Eighth Prince’s sister’s side, the little girl was also a treasure they held in the palm of their hands.

Moreover, there are clearly defined ranks— a servant should never override her master.

So he quickly straightened his face, addressing Chu Baihan sternly, "Since from today onwards you are indeed a servant of this Prince, you need to act appropriately. Apologize immediately!"

Apologize?

Upon hearing this, the irony in Chu Baihan’s eyes deepened.

She gently wiped the blood from her fingers with a handkerchief, then said softly, "Prince Lian, I have never belonged to Yan Country. Once our Minister Su arrives, we will depart back to Nanduan Kingdom. My earlier courtesy was only because I did not want our Princess to be troubled upon awakening... But, as the Princess herself said before, we citizens of Nanduan Kingdom should vent our frustrations, and need not compromise."

"You..."

Yan Lian did not expect a mere maid to be so assertive.

She didn’t allow him any further discourse, Chu Baihan continued coldly, "Of course, Prince Lian, you may punish me for my crime, but aside from being the Princess’s servant, I am also a Vice General of Nanduan Kingdom, and will not tolerate your insults! The case of the Crown Princess’s assault has still not been clarified by Yan Country to us, and now you seek to persecute those of us who protect the Princess. In the future, how will you face the world?"

Yan Lian was scolded till his face turned red, and he was at a loss for words.

Why are the female soldiers of Nanduan Kingdom so formidable?

Every one of them from the Eighth Prince’s sister’s side is a Vice General of the army; truly not easy to deal with.

Just when the atmosphere was becoming even more tense, a servant came rushing in to report, "Ninth Prince, our Prince has summoned Lady Dongxia to his side immediately."

Upon hearing this, Chu Baihan’s expression turned even colder.

Some Prince of Yan Country still had the audacity to command her?

However, after her emotions gradually calmed down, her mind also became much clearer.

Indeed, she could vent her anger and attack a servant girl without repercussion.

But facing Yan Lin, the mighty Eighth Prince of Yan Country...

She still had to restrain herself.

After all, this was Yan Country, not Nanduan Kingdom.

Suppressing the murderous intent in her heart, Chu Baihan said coldly, "Are you not going to lead the way?"

The servant shuddered upon hearing her words.

Why did he feel that this young lady’s aura was eerily similar to that of the Prince, equally unnerving?

Regaining his senses, he hurriedly led the way in front.

"Uncle Nine, I don’t like her, I don’t like her!" The little girl kept stomping her feet and throwing a tantrum.

Yan Lian, plagued by a headache, could only try to persuade her, "She’s just a servant girl. I’ll take her back to Lian Prince Residence later. She won’t affect you."

"Really?" The little girl furrowed her brows and asked sullenly.

"Really," Yan Lian nodded earnestly.

"Then my servant girls..." The little girl glanced at her three servant girls with the corner of her eye. She still wanted Chu Baihan to pay some price.

But Yan Lian shook his head, "Little Jingjing, that servant girl has a somewhat special status. Just bear with it. Also, your servant girls indeed do not understand the rules."

"Summon someone to expel her from Lin Prince Residence and forbid her from coming within half a step of Little Jingjing ever again."

Turning around, Yan Lian then gave the order.

Soon, someone dragged the wounded servant girl out of the residence.

"Prince Nine, Prince Nine, I know my mistake, please give me another chance, I still want to serve the young lady!"

While being dragged away, the servant girl continued to plead bitterly.

The young lady was young, and on days when the Prince was not around, they could manipulate her at will.

If she were expelled, where could she find such a favorable master again?

But Yan Lian remained unmoved, watching coldly as she was dragged away.

Hmph, having mingled among women for so many years, how could he not understand her intentions?

He needed to find a chance to speak frankly with his eighth brother. Little Jingjing was still young and absolutely must not be led astray by these people.

The little girl wanted to say more, but as soon as she looked up and saw Yan Lian’s stern face, she could only pout and swallow her words.

In the meantime, Chu Baihan followed the servant to Yan Lin’s courtyard.

This place was all too familiar.

Looking at this place, nearly identical to how it was six years ago, she clenched her fingers tightly, barely concealing her emotions.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, and then walked into the house with a cold face.

At this moment, Wei Jia was treating Yan Lin for whip wounds.

When Chu Baihan looked over, she could see Yan Lin’s back, bloody and flesh-torn.

She raised an eyebrow. The Emperor was indeed harsh to his own son.

Wei Jia, sensing someone’s presence, stopped his actions, glanced in that direction, and asked softly, "Prince?"

Yan Lin looked up, his gaze sharp as he looked at Chu Baihan, his tone utterly cold, "Was there trouble in the front yard?"

Indeed, the incident in the front yard had not escaped his notice.

No longer bothering to pretend, Chu Baihan lowered her head and spoke coldly, "Prince, I am of our Crown Princess’s people, sworn to loyalty unto death. Now that her life hangs in the balance, I must go back to protect her."
