The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Chapter 210 Prince Qing Arrives

A moment later, a woman dressed in a light blue maid's uniform pushed open the door and entered. She looked anxious and her face was pale.

"Miss?"

As soon as she entered, a foul stench assaulted her nostrils. Lan Xin didn't dare to say anything. She looked around the room, found Murong Ruoyan's direction, walked over quickly, and knelt down in front of the screen.

"Miss, I don't know why I fainted in the outhouse. When I woke up, you were gone." Lan Xin's voice was choked with sobs, as if she were pleading for mercy, but also trying to explain.

Murong Ruoyan was in a mess just now and was only thinking about cleaning up quickly, so she didn't think of Lan Xin.

Lan Xin felt wronged; she was clearly waiting outside the outhouse when she suddenly fainted.

Murong Ruoyan was just looking for a way to vent her anger when Lan Xin arrived at the perfect time. There were only the two of them, master and servant, in the room. Murong Ruoyan simply stood up from the bathtub, and the silhouette of the young girl was reflected on the screen, leaving room for imagination.

Then Murong Ruoyan quickly wrapped herself in her bathrobe, walked out, and slapped Lan Xin hard across the face.

"Ah!" Lan Xin's face immediately turned red, and the pain made her cry out.

"What are you yelling about? You abandoned your post and failed to protect your master properly. Shouldn't you be punished?" Murong Ruoyan glared fiercely at Lan Xin.

Lan Xin endured the pain and begged for mercy, "It's all my fault, please forgive me, Miss!"

Murong Ruoyan glared impatiently at Lan Xin. As Lan Xin kowtowed, a small box fell out of her arms, immediately catching Murong Ruoyan's attention.

"what is this?"

Lan Xin quickly said, "When I came here, I met Miss Pu's maid. She said that this is a perfume balm given by Miss Pu. It can... can remove odors and add fragrance."

Lan Xin knew Murong Ruoyan too well. She was spoiled and willful, and couldn't stand anyone saying anything bad about her. Now that she was being given perfume by a young lady from a noble family, wasn't that a blatant mockery?

Sure enough, after hearing this, Murong Ruoyan slapped Lan Xin again, and this time Lan Xin's face turned red.

"What perfume? I don't care!"

Lan Xin knew that Murong Ruoyan was angry at the moment and she had to quickly distract her. So she picked up the box of perfume and said carefully, "Miss, what we need to do right now is to win over Old Madam Qin. Miss Pu may not have any bad intentions. Our two families have no dealings. She is probably just trying to make a good relationship."

Hearing this, Murong Ruoyan's emotions calmed down a bit. Yes, she still had to rush over to play the zither, so she scolded Lan Xin again, "Aren't you going to help me with my hair and makeup?"

Lan Xin's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was temporarily relieved, and she hurriedly replied, "Yes, Miss."

……

The main hall of the Qin Mansion.

While most ministers were received by others, Qin Xu also had to go and greet them, welcoming and seeing them off. However, Qin Xiuyuan, being of a lower generation, personally stood at the door to greet guests.

"Brother Bailing!" Qin Xiuyuan turned around and saw Xie Bailing's figure. He had his black hair tied up with a golden crown and wore a blue robe. He was elegant and noble with an extraordinary temperament. He looked more mature than usual. There was also a servant following behind him, carrying gifts.

Xie Bailing bowed and said with a smile, "Today is your grandmother's birthday, and I have come here to offer my congratulations."

After saying that, he tactfully handed the gift to the servant behind Qin Xiuyuan.

Qin Xiuyuan's smile widened. "I'm so glad you could come. Please come in."

Today, the Qin family was holding a birthday banquet, a joyous occasion, so it was very lively. Just as the two were chatting and laughing, a magnificent carriage slowly approached from afar. The attire on the carriage clearly indicated that it was used by the royal family. However, Jing Anle and Jing Fengyao had already arrived, so what was this carriage...?

As the carriage drew closer, Qin Xiuyuan's brows furrowed more and more. He waved his hand and hurriedly told his servants to invite Qin Xu over.

A short while later, the carriage stopped, and the servants of the Qin family tactfully brought out stools for passengers to get out of the carriage.

This grand display naturally attracted everyone's attention, and it turned out that the person who stepped out of the carriage was none other than Prince Qing!

He was dressed in a black robe, with an imposing and dignified presence. Then, a beautiful young woman stepped out of the carriage. She wore a light pink dress, had slender fingers, and was breathtakingly beautiful. It was Jing Rou.

Qin Xiuyuan and Xie Bailing exchanged a glance, and were about to step forward to greet him, "Greetings, Prince Qing." But Prince Qing ignored Qin Xiuyuan and walked directly toward the gate, indicating that the visitor was not friendly.

Xie Bailing gazed wistfully at Prince Qing's retreating figure, thinking to himself: We've finally met again.

Last time, he burned down Prince Qing's accounting office, and Prince Qing has yet to catch the culprit. So what gift should we send him this time?
