Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

131-135

Chapter 131: Twins (1)

Prince Jin had been watching off to the side the entire time. The corner of his lips twitched. After bearing with it for a long moment, he gave in and spoke up. “This prince will send some men to escort you back to Prince Wei’s estate.”

It was only then that Royal Princess Duanjia turned around and noticed Prince Jin there. She wiped away the tears in her eyes before asking, “Fourth Brother, are you alright?”

“Just some minor wounds, they’ll heal soon. This prince has to continue investigating with the city guards, so Longcheng will escort you back with some men.”

“Mm, Fourth Imperial Brother, please be careful.”

The maidservants waiting at the side brought over a cloak and covered Royal Princess Duanjia with it. With Chu Lian supporting her, the two of them boarded a carriage driven by one of Prince Jin’s bodyguards.

The carriage went all the way into the main entrance of Prince Wei’s estate and even passed the screen at the entrance. There, it stopped.

Chu Lian alighted before Royal Princess Duanjia, so she was the first to notice the middle-aged woman anxiously waiting next to the carriage with a group of maidservants and senior servants. The moment Royal Princess Duanjia got off the carriage, she charged right into the arms of the noble lady.

“Mother!”

“My good child! You’ve scared Mother to death today!”

The group of servants flew into a flurry of activity when the princess alighted from the carriage. Some of them brought clothes, while others brought over warm braziers. In this panic, Chu Lian didn’t forget her manners. Although she couldn’t move forward, she made a perfect bow to Princess Wei.

Although Princess Wei was concerned with her daughter’s condition, she still kept an eye on Chu Lian from the corner of her eye. Noting that Chu Lian hadn’t shown a single shred of panic or fear, she inwardly gave a nod of approval.

After a moment, when Royal Princess Duanjia was warmed up again, she remembered that Chu Lian was still waiting at the side. She quickly pushed aside the servants surrounding her and tugged Chu Lian closer. “Mother, the only reason I’m still standing before you today is all thanks to Chu Liu.”

Princess Wei raised an elegant eyebrow. “Oh?”

One of Princess Wei’s most trusted servants saw that Royal Princess Duanjia was about to continue speaking, so she hurriedly spoke up and suggested, “Royal Princess and House Jing’an’s Third Young Madam have just narrowly escaped calamity. Why not drive away the bad luck first by stepping over these braziers? If there are things to say, surely it can wait until later in Princess Wei’s room, after a nice warm bath? “

Princess Wei nodded and called someone to bring a small brazier in front of the two young ladies. Royal Princess Duanjia insisted on holding Chu Lian’s hand as they stepped over the braziers together, so Chu Lian had no other choice but to follow. After that, the two of them were sent to the bath in Princess Wei’s courtyard.

Princess Wei sent a handmaid over to serve Chu Lian. The handmaid thought ahead and prepared a set of clothing for her to change into after her bath.
