Chapter 280: Totally Confused

Lin Feiran bit her lips so hard that she didn’t let go even after her lower lip was broken. She stared at Shen Ninghua’s back with resentment and darkness. Suddenly, her expression changed.

Baili Junyi hurried over on horseback. When he saw Shen Ninghua, his expression relaxed and he hurriedly jumped off the horse. “Ninghua, I have been waiting for you in the mansion for a long time. Why haven’t you returned yet?”

Seeing him in such a hurry, Shen Ninghua paused. “I was delayed by something. What’s wrong? Is there anything urgent?”

An embarrassed look flashed across Baili Junyi’s eyes. “Nothing much…” As he spoke, he saw Lin Feiran who was kneeling at the side.

Lin Feiran was kneeling on the ground with a pale face. Her almond-shaped eyes were red, and she was covering her cheeks with her slender fingers. Her cheeks were red and swollen, and the tears on her cheeks had not dried yet. In addition, there were traces of blood on her lips. It was obvious that she had been tortured miserably.

Baili Junyi narrowed his eyes slightly. A dangerous look flashed in his eyes and then disappeared. “Delayed by something? Is it because of this person in front of you?” Today, Ninghua entered the Palace for the sake of the nation-wide selection. Now, it seemed that this woman was the one who caused trouble for her.

“It’s over. Let’s go.” Shen Ninghua didn’t want to see Lin Feiran anymore. She still had two babies waiting for her at home. There was no need to waste time on unrelated people.

Baili Junyi coldly glanced at Lin Feiran and nodded. He turned around and helped Shen Ninghua onto the carriage. Then, he boarded the carriage and left with her.

Lin Feiran knelt on the ground stiffly. She gritted her teeth. He actually left just like that! Didn’t Baili Junyi have the slightest bit of sympathy for her? Or was he really willing to give up on all the other beautiful women in the world just for the sake of Shen Ninghua?

She didn’t believe that there was such a man on earth who would not cheat on his wife! Although she had been pampered in the Lin family since she was a small girl, she was not completely ignorant. Her mother taught her many methods that a woman should know. She had clearly put on the most pitiful and attractive look. Unexpectedly, it was completely useless!

As soon as the carriage arrived at the mansion, Bai Ruo ran over in a hurry. She bowed and said, “Miss, it is so good that His Highness has brought you back. The two young masters are crying nonstop. No matter how much we tried, it is useless. Fortunately, you have come back in time.”

Shen Ninghua was stunned and turned to look at Baili Junyi. It turned out that he had called her back in such a hurry simply because no one could stop the children from crying?

“Cough, cough.” Baili Junyi coughed violently and strode towards the study. “I still have things to take care of. I’ll go take a look first.”

Shen Ninghua laughed out loud. She walked towards Huajun Pavilion a few steps before suddenly saying, “Bai Ruo, go and send His Highness two pots of tea. It seems his throat is not in good conditions. He needs some tea to moisten his throat.”

“Yes, Miss.” Bai Ruo smiled and left. Before she left, she glanced at Xia Rouqin, wondering who this girl was. Judging from her attire, she did not seem like a maid. Was she a candidate for the annual selection and brought by Miss from the Palace?

Bai Ruo suddenly stopped. If this girl was a candidate for the selection from the Palace, didn’t it mean that she was a concubine bestowed by the Emperor or Noble Consort Xian to His Highness?

Hong Ling walked over and gave her a slap. “Sister Bai Ruo, what’s wrong? How come you look like being stricken by lightning?”

“I’m fine,” Bai Ruo snapped back to her senses and took a deep breath. “Hong Ling, go take a look at Miss to see where the girl who came back with Miss went?”

“The girl who came back with Miss?” Hong Ling was also stunned. A sense of crisis suddenly rose in her heart. Was she a concubine bestowed by the Emperor to His Highness?

Bai Ruo still wanted to say something, but Hong Ling suddenly disappeared like her butt was on fire. Bai Ruo forced herself to calm down, but when she sent Baili Junyi the tea, she still looked absent-minded.

Baili Junyi was puzzled. “Bai Ruo, what happened to you? Did something happen to your Miss?” It was rare for Bai Ruo to look like this, and it was obvious that something big had happened.

“No, please forgive me, Your Highness.” Bai Ruo panicked even more. Her hands trembled, and the teacup shook so violently that the tea water splashed out.

Baili Junyi got anxious. Ignoring her misbehavior, he directly strode towards the backyard. He kept speculating in his heart. The woman he saw in the Palace should be Consort Li’s niece, the daughter of the Lin family. Could it be that Ninghua ran into trouble in the Palace? Or did Consort Li and the Lin family have some tricks up their sleeve against Ninghua?

He had already been to the Palace and told Father Emperor and his mother that he would not accept other women. Not to mention that he had two babies now, even if he did not have children, he would not allow others to interfere in his relationship with Ninghua.

When Shen Ninghua entered the inner room, she heard the anxious voices of the two nurses soothing the two babies. She hurriedly walked in.

Perhaps they sensed their mother’s arrival, the two babies, who had been crying so hard that their faces turned red, suddenly stopped crying. They narrowed their eyes and looked in Shen Ninghua’s direction.

“Greetings, Your Highness.” The four nurses knelt on the ground one after another, their hearts continuously trembling. They had been assigned to serve the two little masters, but now they couldn’t even soothe them. If the princess got angry, would they be able to keep their lives?

Shen Ninghua did not let them get up. She walked to the two babies and picked them up one by one. The two babies’ bodies were very clean. There were toys scattered around. The nurses had cold sweat on their heads and their voices were even a little hoarse. It was obvious that they had done their best.

“Get up. Although you are not entirely to blame, it is also a fact that you didn’t do well in taking care of the little Bei Zi and Prefectural Princess. I will punish you only by deducting two months’ salary. You may leave now.” Although they were not to blame, she had to punish them. Otherwise, they would have excuses next time and not try their best.

When the four nurses heard this, they immediately kowtowed gratefully. “Yes, Your Highness, thank you for your kindness.”

When the four of them left, Shen Ninghua looked at the two babies who were placed side by side and reached out to touch their noses. “You two naughty babies, didn’t mother tell you that I needed to enter the Palace and ask you to wait at home with patience?”

“Ah…Ah…”

The two babies thought that their mother was playing with them, so they stretched out their little hands to grab Shen Ninghua’s fingers.

Shen Ninghua found it interesting. She directly reached out her two hands and let the two babies grab each of them. The two babies held Shen Ninghua’s white fingertips and pulled them into their mouths.

Shen Ninghua quickly retracted her fingers. “Naughty! Both of you are naughty.”

“Ah…” The two babies moved at the same time. They widened their transparent eyes and looked at Shen Ninghua with a grin.

Shen Ninghua couldn’t help but laugh. She was just about to bend down and pick up one of them to breastfeed when the door was suddenly pushed open and Baili Junyi hurried in.

“What’s wrong?” Why did he look so anxious?

Baili Junyi looked up and down at Shen Ninghua and the two babies. He relaxed after finding nothing unusual. “Ninghua, are you alright? Did anyone in the Palace make things difficult for you?”

“No. Why are you…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Bai Ruo also ran over in a hurry. She had obviously run all the way here and was gasping for breath.

Shen Ninghua was even more confused now. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Hong Ling running in as well, followed by Qing Que, who had a frosty expression.

“What’s wrong with all of you? Tell me one by one. Junyi, why did you run over here in such a hurry?”

Baili Junyi looked at Bai Ruo. “I saw that Bai Ruo was absent-minded and thought that something had happened to you, so I came over to take a look.”

Shen Ninghua looked at Bai Ruo.

Bai Ruo finally managed to catch her breath. “Miss, I saw the girl that followed you back. She should be a candidate in the nation-wide selection?”

“You mean Rouqin?”

Hong Ling nodded. “Miss, don’t be too sad. It’s just a girl. Qing Que and I can do it in the middle of the night…” She wanted to say that they could effortlessly kill her dozens of times.

She knew that those words were too arrogant and presumptuous, so she did not finish speaking. However, everyone present understood what she meant.

Qing Que unconsciously took the short sword from her sleeve and the killing intent in her eyes almost overflowed.

Today, Bi Zhu went outside to check the accounts and was not in the mansion. Otherwise, she might have come out with an abacus right now.

Baili Junyi also remembered that there was really a girl who was brought back by Ninghua from the entrance of the Palace. Could it be that Father Emperor and his mother ignored his opinion and still bestowed a woman to him? Thinking of this, his face suddenly sank. “None of you needs to do anything. I can handle this matter.”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked out. He had already said that he would have no woman other than Shen Ninghua. So what if Father Emperor and his mother sent other women over? Could they force him to sleep with these women? Just thinking about it made him feel disgusted. It was just a woman. He had plenty of ways to deal with her.

Shen Ninghua’s face was dark. “All of you, stop! I brought Rouqin back to stay by my side. None of you can hurt her.”

The four people’s eight eyes stared at her at the same time, and the two little guys at the side did not what was going on and simply kept grinning. For a moment, Shen Ninghua felt helpless.

“I always wanted to find someone to teach her medical skills so that she would be useful in the future. Rouqin is the one I have found. I am going to take her as my disciple.”

Aha? Disciple? Miss found a disciple…

Bai Ruo hurriedly bowed. “Miss, I accidentally spilled the tea and I need to clean it up. I will take my leave. Hong Ling, come and help me.”

“Okay, Sister Bai Ruo, I’ll help you.” Hong Ling hurriedly followed, pulling Bai Ruo along as they ran out.

Qing Que had already turned around and jumped out the moment Shen Ninghua finished explaining. At this moment, no one knew where she was. Only Baili Junyi was left.

Shen Ninghua had a hard time holding back her laughter. She simply turned around and picked up the baby girl. She sat on a chair and shook her gently. However, her shoulders were still trembling from laughter.

Baili Junyi went forward to pick up his son and weighed him in his arms. “Haha, Big has become much stronger recently. Ah, his small arms and legs are much stronger than before. Uh…” Before he could finish speaking, he froze abruptly.

Shen Ninghua looked up, only to see stains of water spreading on his chest. “Ha, haha…”

Shen Ninghua couldn’t help but laugh out loud, tears almost coming out.

Baili Junyi was wet all over by his son’s urine…
