Divine Doctor: Daughter of the First Wife (Yang Shi Liu) 601

Princess Lian

The words Princess Lian has returned to the manor succeeded in shocking everyone in the yard.

Xuan Tian Ming and Feng Yu Heng had been shocked, while city lord Wu was shaken with anger.

They just saw him step forward and point at the so-called Princess Lian, who was stepping through the entrance, saying: “Get her out of here! Quickly take her away!”

The woman looked at her in shock and confusion, raising her voice to ask: “Father, why do you want to chase me away? His Highness Prince Lian sympathized with how I was unable to fulfill my filial duties and allowed me to return home to see my relatives. Why is it that father wishes to chase me away?”

The girl supporting her had a subdued expression on her face and hated that she could not find a crack to hide in.

City lord Wu stomped his foot: “What a bunch of nonsense! Do not act crazy. Quickly return to your residence and don’t come here to lose face for me!”

“Father!” The girl was a little angry, “I am one of Prince Lian’s people. You have no choice but to pay respects to me!” After saying this, her tone immediately softened once more, quickly walking over to the city lord. With a coaxing tone, she tried to say: “Father must be blaming daughter for leaving home and not coming back to see you. Don’t be angry, alright? Hasn’t daughter come back now! I also brought back a number of gifts for you and mother. They were all chosen for daughter by his Highness Prince Lian.” While saying this, she said to the servants outside: “Quickly bring the gifts prepared by his Highness in for father to see! Be careful. If you break them, I’ll have your heads chopped off.”

City lord Wu’s face darkened as he stood there, glaring at the entrance; however, once he saw his retainers begin to carry things in, one crate at a time. Looking more carefully inside the crates, he saw that they were filled with pieces of snow and ice. His expression became even uglier.

Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tian Ming also looked at each other helplessly. Bai Ze was completely dazed. He watched the woman in red point at the snow in the crates and say: “His Highness Prince Lian heard that father is usually quite thrifty and has never eaten vegetables before. These are the vegetables that his Highness ordered be delivered immediately by fast horse. In a while, have the kitchen prepare them for father to taste.”

The woman spoke with a look of pride on her face. There did not seem to be any doubt on her face that there was anything wrong with her pointing at the crates of snow and saying that they were vegetables. The phoenix crown let out a crisp sound, which provided a nice backdrop to make her look even more beautiful.

City lord Wu raised his hand and wiped his face. He then gently patted the back of the girl’s hand and coaxingly said: “Alright, father knows your… the feelings of you two. We will accept it. You should go back!”

“Go back?” The girl raised her voice a bit, “Why go back? Father, have you become muddled from old age? Daughter has rushed all the way here from the capital to see you. I traveled for an entire month and only just entered Bin City today. Why is it that you want to chase me away upon seeing me? No!” As she spoke, she pushed away city lord Wu and began to walk toward the inside. While walking, she said: “Where’s mother? Could it be that she caused father to lose weight from anger? Is that why father is so unhappy? Don’t worry, daughter has come back and will definitely support father on this matter. You… huh?” She finally noticed that there was an extra group in the yard. It was Xuan Tian Ming, Feng Yu Heng, Bai Ze and a group of soldiers. The girl stopped and looked at them curiously. Tilting her head, she seemed to begin thinking seriously. Not long later, her eyes suddenly lit up: “I know who you are! Da Shun’s ninth prince and imperial daughter Ji An, am I right?”
