OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess-Chapter 941: You’re Not Leaving Until You Tell Me Everything!
After speaking, Bai Zhi’er continued, "And thank you, Miss Jiang, for reminding me. I’ll keep an eye on it."
Prince Qing couldn’t hold back any longer and leaned in to ask, "Are you two done talking? What exactly is it about?"
Jiang Ying crossed her arms and huffed, "It’s a secret between me and the Princess."
Bai Zhi’er blinked her eyes, "Hmm~ a secret!"
"Alright then, little uncle, Miss Jiang, I must go now. Brother Ce is still waiting for me in the palace. See you."
She waved her delicate hand and boarded her carriage to leave.
Prince Qing took two steps after her and then turned back to look at Jiang Ying.
"You didn’t say anything inappropriate to Zhi’er, did you?"
Jiang Ying shrugged, "Of course not. She’s the Princess. If I said anything bad, my uncle would be the first to rush over and strangle me."
Prince Qing squinted his eyes, "Then what exactly did you tell Zhi’er?"
Jiang Ying offered a graceful and polite smile, bowing slightly, "Sorry, I can’t disclose it, Your Highness. I must excuse myself first."
Saying that, she moved swiftly and left.
Prince Qing was stunned for a moment and directly chased after her, "Stop! You’re not leaving until you clarify this today!"
After returning to the imperial palace, Bai Zhi’er first headed to the Xiuluo Guard.
"Brother Ce, what do you need me for?" She skipped in, and the Xiu Luo Envoys promptly bowed their heads in respect.
Today, Feng Fuce was dressed in a robe with a white base and gold patterns, which surprisingly softened the sharpness in his expression, adding a touch of youthful cool serenity instead.
He lifted his gaze to Bai Zhi’er, and for a fleeting moment, there was a gentle shift in his eyes.
"You’re here—here’s a letter for you."
Bai Zhi’er’s eyes lit up as she hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter and opened it.
"Finally, something to do! If little uncle didn’t call for me soon, I would’ve had to go out and seek merit myself!"
She opened the letter and quickly glanced through it.
"What... it’s about helping to find someone?" Bai Zhi’er looked slightly disappointed.
Her jade-white, pretty face clouded with disappointment.
Bai Zhi’er handed the letter back to Feng Fuce, "If it’s about finding someone, shouldn’t they just go to the government?"
That’s too simple; even if she didn’t do it, Mei Ying and the others could handle it.
Feng Fuce raised an eyebrow, reading through the letter’s contents.
The letter was a request from a wealthy merchant from Jiangnan.
He said his daughter had eloped with someone half a year ago and has since disappeared without a trace.
His wife recently kept dreaming that their daughter was soaking in a river, constantly saying how cold she was.
So the couple suspected that something happened to their daughter.
For half a year, they had tried many avenues to find her but to no avail.
Even a fortune-teller, upon seeing their daughter’s birth dates, said she was deceased.
The couple, desperate, had to be heavily recommended to the Jianghu Alliance Leader.
Xu Lianzhou then entrusted this matter to Bai Zhi’er.
Perhaps he thought finding someone else’s long-lost daughter could be considered a merit.
Bai Zhi’er sighed with her chin in her hand.
After waiting all these days, she only got a pea-sized task.
Feng Fuce lifted his gaze to her. He gently raised his hand, and the Xiu Luo Envoys beside him quickly withdrew.
Once they were alone, Feng Fuce spoke with the utmost patience, "You don’t want to take it?"
"I just feel that anyone could handle this matter. Mei Ying and the others could surely find his daughter’s whereabouts too. Why must it be us? I want a bigger task, preferably one that can earn merit." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Feng Fuce raised his eyebrows, his handsome and cold features reflecting a faint dark light.
He stood and walked over to Bai Zhi’er, "Let me ask you, why do you want to accumulate merit?"
Bai Zhi’er was taken aback, "Because I want to succeed the Heavenly Dao, you knew that, so why ask?"
