Chapter 3558: 4.1158 Offering Courtesies

"Yes," Pear Night said expressionlessly. "That day, everyone went to catch up on sleep after breakfast and slept all afternoon, only getting up late for dinner."

It seems that's right, it was the day after the Qin Estate was bombed, wasn't it?

Wei Ziqin thought for a moment and nodded. "That must have been the day Qiao Qiao went into seclusion."

Qiao Mu snorted. "Coming to find me must have been to spread alarmist rumors."

Pear Night nodded. "Crown Princess, then should we just let her pursue him into the army and bother His Highness?"

Qiao Mu pouted her small lips. "We'll see if she even sees Qiao Qiao's Lian first."

Wei Ziqin chuckled and took her daughter's small hand. "Alright, Qiao Qiao, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go eat. You've been in seclusion for so long, you haven't even had a sip of soup."

The mother and daughter, along with little Yellow Crane, exited the side room.

Meanwhile, a thousand miles away, at the army's encampment in Gray Plain Village.

Huifeng, with a smile, extended his hand to block the two women, his gaze indifferent as he said, "My apologies, His Highness is currently discussing matters with several generals in the tent and is not convenient to receive Master Dan Shi. Please return, Master Dan Shi."

Dan Yi Su stood before Huifeng. Her young maid, holding a covered pot of something, stood behind her. It seemed they had come to deliver a tonic to His Highness.

Huifeng glanced at the stew pot, maintaining a polite smile, still blocking Dan Yi Su.

Dan Yi Su was not angered. She politely nodded to Huifeng. "Young man, since His Highness is busy with official duties, then I trouble you to take this bowl of snow lotus seed soup inside for His Highness."

Huifeng looked at her with a half-smile, shaking his head. "My apologies, Master Dan Shi. His Highness's diet is prepared by a dedicated physician. For safety reasons, he cannot consume outside food at will. I hope Master Dan Shi understands."

Dan Yi Su's smiling face stiffened slightly.

She didn't say anything, but the young maid behind her, Meilan, couldn't help but exclaim, "Hey, how can you say that? Are you implying that our Master Dan Shi would poison the snow lotus seed soup??"

"Meilan," Dan Yi Su softly reprimanded.

Not only did this not make Meilan stop, it further ignited the young maid's protective fury, like a hen guarding her chicks.

Meilan, holding the plate, took two steps forward and stood in front of Dan Yi Su, wishing she could smash the plate onto Huifeng.

"How dare you be so rude to our Miss?" Meilan cried out in exasperation. "This is soup personally prepared by our Miss using fresh snow lotus!"

Huifeng couldn't help but roll his eyes upon hearing this.

Are both of these mistress and servant sick?

If he dared to let this bowl of soup go in today, and the Night Pavilion's message reached the Crown Princess tomorrow, he wouldn't have an easy life!

Besides, perhaps before the little Crown Princess decided to take his life, His Highness the Crown Prince would have already found him displeasing and struck him down himself...

They truly have no shame, forcing him to play the bad guy!

Huifeng was about to put on a stern face and severely reprimand the mistress and servant before him.

Just then, Young Master Fu San lifted the tent flap, standing at the entrance with a half-smile.

"Who do we have here? It's Master Dan Shi!" Fu San hooked his lips, giving Dan Yi Su a faint glance.

This is interesting. This woman actually chased them all the way to Gray Plain Village, and now she's still thinking of entering the tent, trying to get close...

She really thinks that little evil star in the capital is just a decoration, doesn't she?

Fu San couldn't help but shake his head.

This Master Dan Shi, as expected, was very bold with her skills.
