Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 661

Chapter 661: Chapter 658: Shameless_1

Lu Ping understood that this would both show loyalty to the Crown Prince and serve as a warning before knowing what the person meeting the eldest young lady intended to do.

"But... can we find out anything by investigating so openly? What if that person rented a private room under a false name or didn’t leave any name at all?" Lu Ping furrowed his brow slightly.

"This person left a letter at the side gate of the Princess of Zhen’s residence without signing a name... The Princess of Zhen’s residence will surely investigate. If he truly wishes to meet, he will certainly leave useful information," Bai Qingyan said.

"Miss Bai is right. I will take care of it immediately!" Lu Ping accepted the order and left.

In the front hall, Murong Li had just taken a sip of tea when he heard the Bai family’s servant announce that Mr. Xiao had arrived.

Murong Li put down his teacup and stood up. As expected, he saw his ninth uncle walking around the screen wall, talking to the Bai family’s steward, and heading towards the main hall, followed by Yue Shi carrying various supplement boxes behind Xiao Rongyan.

Outside, Murong Li was the Yan prince held hostage in the Jin Kingdom, and Xiao Rongyan was the wealthiest merchant in the world. Murong Li should not have greeted Xiao Rongyan first. Thinking of this, Murong Li sat back down.

Before entering, Xiao Rongyan saw Murong Li sitting in the main hall drinking tea and smiled slightly at him. Entering the main hall, he greeted first, "Greetings, Prince Li...."

Murong Li stood up and bowed, nodding slightly with a well-mannered demeanor. "Mr. Xiao, are you also here to visit the Princess of Zhen?"

"Indeed..." Xiao Rongyan replied with a smile.

"Mr. Xiao!" Bai Jinzhi immediately bowed to Xiao Rongyan as she entered. "Bai Jinzhi thanks Mr. Xiao for previously protecting my Bai family!"

"It was nothing. Miss Bai, you speak too highly of me!" Xiao Rongyan replied calmly.

"Please, Mr. Xiao, take a seat!" Bai Jinzhi greeted Xiao Rongyan, then turned to bow to Murong Li. "Prince Li!"

"Commandery Princess Gaoyi, how is the Princess of Zhen?" Murong Li addressed her by title.

"Eldest Young Lady sleeps more than she is awake and has been severely weakened...." Bai Jinzhi’s voice choked up as she spoke. Forcing a smile, she gestured for Murong Li to sit. "Please, Prince Li, have a seat first."

Murong Li nodded.

Bai Jinzhi tried to emulate her eldest sister’s dignified demeanor and continued, "Thank you both for visiting my eldest sister. However, given her condition, she cannot receive guests. I hope you will understand."

"It is no problem. It has only been five days since the Princess of Zhen was injured. She should rest in bed. I merely came to deliver medicine...." Murong Li turned and took an engraved wooden box from the hands of his loyal servant, placing it on the table beside Bai Jinzhi. "This is a secret medicine from Yan my mother gave me when I came to Jin. It is extremely valuable and very effective for injuries. Please have Mr. Hong, your household physician, take a look at it. If deemed safe, it may be used for the Princess of Zhen."
