Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 596

Chapter 596: Chapter 593: Mutual Affection_1

"This matter still needs to be thoroughly investigated by Master Fang. Make sure to prove my mother’s innocence."

"Rest assured, Your Highness! I will handle it immediately and shall not fail Your Highness’s trust!"

After speaking, Master Fang rose, bowed to the Crown Prince, and hurriedly left.

As soon as Master Fang left, a young eunuch came running in and whispered in Quan Yu’s ear. Quan Yu nodded and motioned for the young eunuch to leave. Then he entered and greeted, "Your Highness, Master Tan and Minister Shen from the Ministry of War have arrived."

"Help me change clothes!" The Crown Prince’s voice carried fatigue. He felt the burden of his position heavily.

Bai Qingyan returned to the mansion and had Wei Zhong summoned. She wanted Wei Zhong to secretly assist the people from the Crown Prince’s residence in finding the servants sold by the Fu family and the Empress’s family back then. They must ensure the Crown Prince’s investigation succeeds.

Wei Zhong agreed, just before he could leave the Qinghui Courtyard, a message was delivered from the front courtyard that Madam Fu had come to see Princess of Zhen.

Chun Tao brought hot tea and snacks to Bai Qingyan, placed them on the small table, and then busied herself helping Bai Qingyan change clothes with deep concern, "Miss has just arrived home and hasn’t had a hot meal, and you’re still busy."

Bai Qingyan wore her outer garment and smiled lightly as she straightened her cuffs, "When Grandfather and Father were alive, wasn’t it always like this?"

"But back then, when the King of Zhen and the Duke of Zhen were around, they only managed external affairs. The household matters were taken care of by the Mistress. Now, you have to handle both inside and outside matters, which is much harder," Chun Tao said as she helped Bai Qingyan put on her shoes, sighing, "Miss, at least have a few snacks to tide you over."

"It’s not proper to keep Madam Fu waiting. Put it aside, I will eat after meeting her," Bai Qingyan said, turning to leave.

The maids quickly lowered their heads and held the curtain, and Chun Tao ran to follow behind Bai Qingyan as they left the Qinghui Courtyard.

Madam Fu sat restlessly in the main hall, completely uninterested in the hot tea brought by the maids, constantly craning her neck to look outside.

This time, Fu Ruoxi had caused a big trouble.

Sending the words "wait for an opportunity" to Dadu City might be forgivable, but brandishing a sword at the Crown Prince in public was beyond explanation.

Madam Fu heard that Bai Qingyan had saved Fu Ruoxi, so she came to plead with Bai Qingyan on behalf of Fu Ruoxi.

The Fu Mansion was already surrounded. If it weren’t for Patrol Camp Commander Fan Yuhuai who was overseeing it, Madam Dong would never have gotten out.

Fan Yuhuai had a personal relationship with the Fu family. He found a loophole in the Crown Prince’s orders, claiming that although the Crown Prince ordered the siege of Dong Mansion, he did not prohibit the exit and entry of its members. Thus, he secretly brought Madam Fu to see Bai Qingyan.

However, Fan Yuhuai said Madam Fu had only half an hour, and afterward, regardless of the situation, she must return, or it would be difficult for him as well. Hence, Madam Fu was anxious and worried like a fire.

Madam Fu knew Fu Ruoxi could not be saved for attacking the Crown Prince, but she desperately needed to protect her grandson and the entire Fu family.

If Madam Fu was honest, Bai Qingyan could plan on saving the remaining members of the Fu family. If not, Bai Qingyan would stand by and let the Crown Prince handle it. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}
