Chapter 490: Chapter 491, A Big Scuffle
Yun Jinnian, upon hearing this, was also filled with befuddlement.
She was not usually skilled at placating people, but Princess Jinfeng was precisely the kind who needed coddling.
After hesitating for a moment, she sat next to Princess Jinfeng, "Why would Sister Xiang say such a thing? I have always placed Sister Xiang first. Look, while I gave the others medicine pills, I prepared beauty-enhancing rouge and powder specifically for Sister Xiang, all of which I personally mixed!"
"Rouge and powder?" Princess Jinfeng said, glaring at Chu Yu.
"Yes, I asked Chu big brother to bring them to you!" Yun Jinnian explained, confused. Could it be that Chu Yu did not give them to Princess Jinfeng?
Princess Jinfeng instantly felt so angry that her insides hurt.
Chu Yu had delivered them but had not explained the origin of the rouge. Since she rarely used such beauty products, she immediately asked Chu Yu to take them back and exchange them for something else.
How would she have known they were specially made for her by Yun Jinnian?
"Ah, Chu Yu, you bastard!" Princess Jinfeng roared.
Yun Jinnian jumped, startled. What on earth had happened?
Looking puzzlingly at Chu Yu, she saw he still had a carefree and smiling demeanor, which made her even more perplexed.
"Jinnian, you go to Zhuangyong Marquis Residence first. I need to have a proper talk with Jinfeng," Chu Yu said indifferently.
Princess Jinfeng clenched her fists but smiled at Yun Jinnian, "Sister Jinnian, you get off the carriage first. I’ll come visit you another day to catch up!"
Yun Jinnian nodded, "Alright then, I’ll be off!"
She rose and left the carriage.
No sooner had she stepped down from the carriage than thumping noises came from within.
Yun Jinnian, taken aback, looked towards Leng Binghan, "Brother Leng?"
"It’s nothing!"
Yun Jinnian figured it was alright—after all, they were siblings, and even if they fought, it would not lead to a fatality. In the end, Chu Yu would be the only one to suffer, so she felt reassured.
She mounted the carriage, "Uncle Cheng, let’s go!"
"Yes!"
Uncle Cheng steered the carriage to the side, avoiding the Prince Rui Residence’s carriage, and as he listened to Princess Jinfeng’s shouts from inside, Uncle Cheng frowned.
His lady was quite impressive, managing to come out unscathed from an encounter with an infuriated Princess Jinfeng.
The carriage trotted smoothly all the way to the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence.
Dai Hanmi, seeing the carriage stop, quickly greeted her arrival. Catching sight of Yun Jinnian alighting, she couldn’t help but smile with tears in her eyes, "You’ve finally come back!"
Yun Jinnian bowed graciously to Dai Hanmi, her voice gentle and restrained, "Sister Hanmi!"
Dai Hanmi immediately steadied Yun Jinnian, "Alright now, there is no need for such formalities between us sisters, let’s dispense with the pleasantries. Even though it’s morning, the sun is still quite fierce. Let’s go inside and talk!"
Dai Hanmi, taking Yun Jinnian’s hand, expressed her concern, "Oh my, how come your hand feels so cold? Are you unwell?"
"Not at all, I’m in good health, Sister Hanmi need not worry!" Yun Jinnian quickly assured her, squeezing Dai Hanmi’s hand in return.
Dai Hanmi was lively and efficient in her actions, and she treated her with genuine affection; Yun Jinnian liked interacting with Dai Hanmi.
"It’s good to hear you’re well. If you feel uncomfortable, make sure to tell me. They say doctors can’t heal themselves, so you mustn’t be careless!"
"Yes, yes!"
Yun Jinnian obediently nodded her head.
Dai Hanmi burst into laughter, "Look at me, you’ve just returned, and I’m already lecturing you. Once grandmother hears about this, she’ll probably have to school me too!"
"The dowager loves you the most; how could she bear it!" Yun Jinnian said, her voice tender, accompanied by a gentle smile.
As her smile reached her eyes, her entire being seemed to brighten.
From a little distance, Dai Hanbo watched, his mouth suddenly dry, unable to move forward, feeling very nervous, his face gradually reddening.
With somewhat clumsy hands, he shook himself and straightened his neat sleeves, then smoothed his hair.
