Chapter 871 Good Sister

If Song Chunxue had known that the women her senior sister brought to see were Bai Caiwei and Princess Anyang, she wouldn't have come.

Fortunately, Xie Zheng had reminded her before she left, so she wasn't completely unprepared.

In addition, she believed that her senior sister Fangyue would not harm her, so she gritted her teeth and stayed.

Although Bai Caiwei's own Taoist temple was not as spacious as Baiyun Temple, it was small but complete.

Moreover, the Bai family is very powerful, and the Taoist temple is filled with the smell of money. The tea table is made from the widest piece of a whole piece of precious wood, and several exquisite little monks are carved on the wood.

On the left side of the display cabinet, there were all kinds of exquisite tea sets. The beautiful porcelain was stunning to her, a layman, as if it were carved from priceless jade, making it irresistible.

“After the start of spring, all things come to life, and you two look very healthy,” Bai Caiwei said with a smile as she looked at Song Chunxue. “Especially Master Song, you must have taken some kind of miraculous medicine recently, as you are radiant.”

Princess Anyang glanced at her indifferently, and after a moment she suddenly said, "It should be a balance of yin and yang, she is different from us."

Since their falling out last time, Princess Anyang's hostility towards Song Chunxue has become increasingly apparent.

Noticing that Bai Caiwei's gaze towards her was different from before, Song Chunxue probably knew about her past with that monk. She no longer needed to be as careful and unconsciously try to please them as before.

“Princess, why be so modest? I remember Wuyou said that you haven’t mistreated yourself, one after another…” Song Chunxue stared at the green porcelain bowl in her hand, “I didn’t steal it from you, why make fun of me in such a roundabout way.”

Fangyue smiled, picked up a piece of peach blossom cake and handed it to Song Chunxue, "Speaking of which, Lord Xie even specially sent someone to deliver a gift to me, asking me to take good care of you. It seems that he really treats you like a treasure and cherishes you dearly."

She nudged Song Chunxue's shoulder. "If I ever meet someone who treats me this well, I'll definitely become his Daoist partner."

Her senior sister was trying to help her out of the predicament. Song Chunxue leaned closer to her, then lowered her head and shyly clutched her clothes. "Yes, that's what I told him too, but he said it's not a small matter and he'll formally tell the senior brothers and sisters when he's less busy."

Sure enough, Princess Anyang's face darkened even more.

Bai Caiwei smiled and asked, "Are you really going to become his Daoist partner? Don't you care about the past?"

Song Chunxue frowned. "It's all in the past, why bother? I'm not that energetic, do you think I can be so fickle?"

"You've all said that Lord Xie is such a good man, how could I not know? I'm too busy holding on to him wholeheartedly, how could I have any time to think about the past?"

She looked into Bai Caiwei's eyes earnestly and said, "The father of my child has been dead for so many years. Am I supposed to give up our mutual love just because of my parents' wishes and the matchmaker's words?"

Bai Caiwei poured her more tea, her smile unwavering. "That's true, cherish the people around you."

"I only have the person in front of me, of course I must cherish him." Song Chunxue picked up her teacup. "Thank you, Daoist Bai."

Princess Anyang and Fangyue looked at the two of them curiously, feeling that there was something more to their words.

Princess Anyang and Bai Caiwei had been close friends for many years. Seeing Bai Caiwei suddenly change her attitude, she was puzzled and dissatisfied.

But she wouldn't pry into it in front of outsiders.

She had already lost her composure at the Prince Xuan's residence that day; how could she possibly let a woman from the countryside outdo her today?

"You only covet Lord Xie's reputation and his person. You don't cherish him at all. If that were the case, you wouldn't have just left during that test, causing Xie Zheng to lose his composure in front of others and drink heavily every night."

Drowning one's sorrows every night?

During the time she was away from the capital?

Looking back carefully, it seems that she was only concerned with her own discomfort, and felt that she was not suitable to stay in the capital when she encountered some setbacks, but she rarely thought about Xie Zheng's feelings.

"He was such a proud and unyielding man, yet he did it all for you..."

“Princess, how could we know about other people’s affairs? I only know that she did not back down this time, even though she knew that she would be harassed by people like you who have connections everywhere, she still came.” Fangyue interrupted the princess, her intention to protect her was very obvious. “Since your relationship with Lord Xie is over, just let it go. Why bother with the affairs of other people?”

Princess Anyang's veins bulged on the back of her hand, and she stared at her with a sharp gaze.

Bai Caiwei stuffed a crabapple into their hands, saying, "Oh dear, why ruin our relationship over such a trivial matter? I invited Sister Fangyue here today to help you resolve this issue."

Princess Anyang took a deep breath, clearly in a bad mood.

"Sister Fangyue, please take a look and see if there's anything wrong with the princess?" Bai Caiwei grabbed the princess's arm and said in a soft voice, "Princess, I know you're dissatisfied with Song Chunxue, but we're both people of status, so let's keep things separate."

Princess Anyang sneered, "If I have to ask someone who humiliated me for help over such a trivial matter, I'd rather ask someone else."

"But this matter can only be resolved by..."

Bai Caiwei was trying to persuade Princess Anyang when Wuyou's voice popped into Song Chunxue's mind.

"Her matter is no small thing. The guardian spirit has turned into an evil spirit, and now that King Xuan is wanted, no one is feeding that thing, so it's tormenting this woman. It's extremely arrogant!"

Suddenly, Wuyou thrust his weapon toward Princess Anyang's shoulder.

"Who!" Bai Caiwei shouted in fright and turned to grab her sword.

Princess Anyang sat there in a daze. By the time she came to her senses, Wuyou had already been waving wildly in the air above her shoulder. If there had been anything on her shoulder, it would have been riddled with holes.

Wuyou stopped speaking in front of everyone.

He said to Song Chunxue, "See? That evil thing is gone."

Song Chunxue nodded, "I saw it, and it ran out like a wisp of smoke."

"Go to sleep, you can handle the rest yourself."

Fangyue raised her hand to signal Bai Caiwei, "Don't be nervous, it's my junior brother's sword."

"Ah?" Bai Caiwei exclaimed excitedly, "It's that talking sword?"

"With a sword spirit, it's not surprising that it can speak," Fangyue said, trying to smooth things over. "Sit down. Neither my junior brother nor her sword means any harm."

“That’s not surprising,” Bai Caiwei sighed. “Are you going to only find it surprising when chamber pots come to life?”

Fangyue glared at her, then turned to Song Chunxue, "What's going on?"

Song Chunxue looked at Princess Anyang, who was pretending to be calm, and asked, "Is your family's guardian spirit throwing a tantrum?"

“It’s not just a temper tantrum, they’ve killed several people. If this continues, even the princess will be in danger.” Bai Caiwei lowered her voice. “Moreover, their immortal master is very stingy, he won’t accept this or that. Now that Song Che is dead, he’s making a fuss about wanting to eat immortal pills. The princess’s mansion has been in chaos these past two days.”

"The princess sent people to search all over the capital for people with some skills, and in the end they all said that the elusive Taoist Master Han from Baiyun Temple had a solution, so I found Fangyue."

As she spoke, Bai Caiwei held Princess Anyang's hands tightly, "Good sister, this is no small matter. You must not be so concerned about saving face that you risk your life."
