Chapter 617 Beating Qing Xue 4 ” (2/2)

This was already the last chance.

If he doesn’t move, the king would surely return.

By then, Qing Xue wouldn’t be able to escape no matter the efforts he pulls.

……

Within the bustling market of the capital city, Bai Yan hurriedly followed the guard to the location of her son and the princess. To the woman’s surprise, the scene to welcome her arrival didn’t exactly pan out in the way she imagined. Rather than her loved ones being in danger, there’s only a pile of thugs lying on the floor moaning and groaning in pain and very close to death.

“Sister in law?”

Di Xiao Wan only needed a glance to notice the woman’s arrival. Immediately making a delighted face, the princess’s mood should’ve been great, that was until she noticed Dragony tagging along by holding Bai Yan’s hand.

Gnawing at her nails over the question, the little missy puts on a guilty face: “I wanted to follow the queen, that’s why I went to find her.”

Normally Di Xiao Wan would be outraged at that sort of explanation, but against that innocent and naive face, she couldn’t even get mad and bear to blame her.

“Xiachen!” Running over fast at the sight of her son, Bai Yan’s hand remains shaky despite everything being okay. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry… I shouldn’t have left you alone. I’m so happy that you’re fine.”

She almost lost her son once before, that’s why she’s getting so emotion. The experience was simply too much for this mother the first time around.

“Mother don’t cry, I am fine.” Moving that hand to help wipe some of those tears, Bai Xiachen sensibly sooths the crying Bai Yan with his bright smile: “When Father is not around, I am the only male in the house, that’s why I need to protect Mother and Auntie. There’s no need to worry about me.”
