Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 653

Chapter 653: Chapter 650: Fairness_1

Mrs. Liu was shaking all over with panic. When she stepped over the threshold, her legs wouldn’t lift, and she almost tripped. Fortunately, Nanny Luo next to her supported her, and they stumbled to the veranda of the main room.

Xiao Rongyan stood under the eaves. When he saw the Second Madam Mrs. Liu stepping onto the steps, he bowed deeply to her. "Mrs. Bai, please allow me to wait here for news. As soon as I know that Miss Bai is safe, I will leave."

If Xiao Rongyan hadn’t brought people today and arranged troops in the front yard, those thieves wouldn’t have been stopped outside the first gate of Princess of Zhen. Mrs. Liu was already grateful to him. Now she couldn’t be bothered with Xiao Rongyan and choked back her tears, nodding before stepping into the main room of Qinghui Courtyard.

Lu Ping performed a salute to Xiao Rongyan. "Mr. Xiao, please wait in the side room for a while!"

Xiao Rongyan nodded and followed Lu Ping to the side room for tea. But he couldn’t sit still at all. Hearing movements from the main room, he stood up and walked to the eaves. He saw Mrs. Liu and Nanny Luo hurriedly leaving, muttering something about an ancient wild ginseng she had luckily kept and that it would definitely be useful.

Xiao Rongyan stared anxiously at the dripping rain curtain under the eaves.

Inside the main room.

Bai Qingyan had Doctor Hong create an excuse to send Mrs. Liu away. She slowly sat up and spoke, "This serious injury was set up by me so I could safely return to Shuoyang! Doctor Hong... if the Crown Prince comes to ask later, tell him my injury is severe, and I won’t live for more than a few years."

Doctor Hong had already examined Bai Qingyan’s injury. It indeed hadn’t harmed vital organs, showing the shooter’s extraordinary archery skills.

Bai Jinse bit her lip hard, feeling even worse knowing it was Bai Qingyan’s plan.

If only she were older and smarter, she could help her eldest sister, so her eldest sister wouldn’t have to resort to such a method...

"I understand! Don’t worry, Miss. I’ll certainly explain it well to His Highness! Miss Lu, please help Miss Bai with the acupuncture. I will come after washing my hands to remove the arrow." Doctor Hong said.

"Yes!" Lu Ninghuan responded. She used scissors heated by the fire to cut open Bai Qingyan’s clothes in the front and back. After cleaning the wound with boiled cotton cloth and applying acupuncture to stop the bleeding, she stepped aside to give Doctor Hong space.

Doctor Hong had treated Bai Qingyan’s injuries before and knew she had a high pain tolerance.

Bai Qingyan sat cross-legged, back to Doctor Hong, head covered in fine sweat beads.

Doctor Hong held one of Bai Qingyan’s shoulders with one hand and gripped the arrow’s tail with the other.

Bai Jinse’s throat tightened. She looked up at Doctor Hong’s calm gaze, gripping the thin cotton cloth tightly. Doctor Hong instructed earlier to press down on the wound once he pulled out the arrow.

"Miss..." Doctor Hong called Bai Qingyan.

Bai Jinse thought Doctor Hong was about to tell Bai Qingyan he would pull out the arrow. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Hong precisely pulled out the arrow.

Bai Qingyan let out a muffled groan, blood splattering on Bai Jinse’s face. Lu Ninghuan reacted quickly, pressing Bai Qingyan’s wound with the thin cotton cloth and pulling out the golden needle to stop the bleeding.

Bai Jinse also hurried to press down on the wound, tears uncontrollably falling, trembling as she called out, "Eldest Sister..."

"How is it? How is Princess of Zhen?!" The Crown Prince asked loudly as he entered the main gate of Qinghui Courtyard. _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}
