Chapter 302: The Meeting (1/2)

The next day, early in the morning, Pei Qingfeng woke up early and prepared to visit the general’s residence. Before he left, he gathered a ton of medicinal ingredients. If Bai Luochu was really angry at him, it would be for the best if he took it all out as compensation.

In the residence beside the Second Prince’s residence, Ling Xian’er was packing up some items in the stargazing pavilion.

The other two young ladies who shared a great relationship with Ling Xian’er asked, “Xian’er, where are you going?”

Ling Xian’er looked at them. She wanted to bring the two of them along but after thinking about how overprotective Pei Qingfeng was of Bai Luochu, she changed her mind. Even if Honored Tian Yun realized something, she would be able to hide it from him. If the two of them went, they would definitely spill everything they knew. As such, Ling Xian’er decided to conceal the fact from the two of them.

“Nothing much. I am simply going out for a stroll with Big Brother Qingfeng.”

Their lips started twitching and they started to make fun of her, “Fine! Leave us alone here and go out with your Big Brother Qingfeng!”

To avoid the two of them from spoiling her plan, she quickly made a promise to placate the both of them. “Can the two of you calm down? I am touring around the capital city with Big Brother Qingfeng now in order to bring you to the best spots!”

After thinking about it, the two of them allowed her to leave.

Ling Xian’er heaved a sigh of relief and she started making her way to the general’s residence.

Bai Luochu was in the general’s residence as she ate her breakfast. From time to time, she would ask Cai Ling, “Did you inform the kitchen about my instructions?”

Cai Ling’s lips twitched and she almost sighed in disappointment. “I have already reminded them to prepare some light dishes for the guest this afternoon.” Before Bai Luochu could nod, Cai Ling piped up. “Mistress, I do not understand. How can Mistress continue to act as though nothing is wrong when the Second Prince is treating you like this?!”

Bai Luochu naturally understood that Cai Ling was feeling unjust for her, thus, she immediately explained, “Cai Ling, you can’t say that. His Second Highness might really be facing some difficulties. Weren’t you aware of how well he treated me in the past? You little servant girl, why are you always so fast to react without thinking your actions through? All visitors are guests and since he is coming, we need to act like proper hosts. Calm down and let him explain himself.”

Cai Ling knew that it was useless no matter what she said. She had no choice but to stand at the side quietly.

There was still 15 minutes before the agreed time and the guards sent someone to inform Bai Luochu, “Young Lady Luo Chu, His Second Highness is here. Do you want us to bring him to the reception pavilion?”

A manservant immediately ran off to relay Bai Luochu’s orders.
