Chapter 847 The Truth - Twenty Years Ago
His master had indeed fallen for this woman who seemed like just a pretty face.
Standing silently to the side like a quail, Ah Rong watched as Princess Baiyun, whom she called a vase, slowly took two steps forward.
"Judging from this young master's appearance, he doesn't seem like the type to stalk people. Perhaps it's a misunderstanding. Why don't you release him first, Seventh Young Master, and let him explain?"
Princess Baiyun didn't disbelieve the Seventh Prince's words; rather, the person he was controlling was dressed far too well.
If all such people are stalkers, Princess Baiyun doesn't know which kind can be called a good person.
The Seventh Prince was still waiting to send the person to see the official when he heard Princess Baiyun's words and was taken aback.
"Miss Su, if you let go of him now, he might run away!"
The Seventh Prince tried to persuade her, but Princess Baiyun insisted that he release the person.
Xu Menglong's gaze fell on Princess Baiyun's face again. Her appearance was just like her personality. If it weren't for her standing there, Xu Menglong would have the illusion that she was a fairy descended from heaven.
"No, Seventh Young Master, please let go!"
Miss Su barely glanced at Xu Menglong from beginning to end; her gaze remained mostly on the Seventh Prince.
Yesterday, the Seventh Prince clearly angered her. She thought they would never meet again, but unexpectedly, in just one night, she indirectly received a favor from him.
Princess Baiyun felt a little awkward, so she didn't hesitate to ask the Seventh Prince to release Xu Menglong.
Upon receiving Princess Baiyun's resolute gaze, the Seventh Prince had no choice but to slowly close his folding fan and stand up.
"Thank you for your trust, Miss."
As soon as Xu Menglong gained his freedom, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Princess Baiyun. Although there had been a little incident earlier, it was actually a good opportunity for him to get to know her.
Xu Menglong glanced back at the Seventh Prince, who was giving him an unfriendly look, and said, "Young master, you've really misunderstood. I really didn't mean to follow this young lady. I just happened to see the accessory on her waist on the way here, and I really liked it. So I wanted to ask where she bought it this afternoon. I never expected that you would mistake me for a stalker!"
As Xu Menglong spoke, he pointed earnestly to Princess Baiyun's waist. Upon hearing this, Princess Baiyun looked down and saw a tassel with beads hanging from it dangling from her waist.
"Is this what you mean, young master?"
If it hadn't been mentioned, Princess Baiyun would have forgotten that she still had this thing hanging from her waist. It was a costume belonging to a people of the Wei Kingdom, which her mother had worn since she was a child.
Although Xu Menglong was making it up, he was quite interested in this style of tassel, since it was the first time he had ever seen one like this in his life.
He nodded and looked at Princess Baiyun, his face showing no dissatisfaction or resentment despite the unpleasantness just now.
"Miss, could you tell me where I purchased this?"
Xu Menglong's words made Princess Baiyun laugh, and the Seventh Prince also cast a curious glance at the little thing. He carefully examined it and had a feeling of déjà vu.
But when I try to think more carefully about where I've seen it before, I just can't remember.
When asked about it, Princess Baiyun didn't try to hide it from the two of them. "It's just an ordinary tassel. It was a gift from my mother, so I've always carried it with me. As for the young master's wish to buy it, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
Although Princess Baiyun was smiling, no one could see any mockery in her eyes.
Both of them were momentarily dazzled by the smile.
"Since it was a gift from Miss's mother, it's no wonder it's so unique! It's likely that this is the only one of its kind in the world!"
It must be said that Xu Menglong is a very good talker. Princess Baiyun hadn't thought much of the tassel at first, but after hearing his words, she suddenly developed a fondness for it.
"You flatter me, sir. It was merely something my mother did on a whim."
Princess Baiyun smiled and bowed slightly to Xu Menglong. Just as she was about to say something, Mu Fan hurriedly walked in from outside the door.
"Miss, something has happened to the young master!"
Mu Fan whispered something quickly into Princess Baiyun's ear. At the same time, someone from the Seventh Prince's side came in to report that the Eldest Princess had hit someone on her way to the Duke's mansion.
Both men, feeling worried, bowed simultaneously and said, "We have some matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave first!"
"I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
The two exchanged a glance, then gave Xu Menglong an apologetic smile and quickly left the shop.
Having been caught red-handed, Xu Menglong naturally could no longer follow Princess Baiyun. So he returned the greeting to the two and watched them leave.
The Seventh Prince and Princess Baiyun rushed to the clinic, where Bai Xu had already slowly woken up.
Where am I?
Bai Xu rubbed his aching head and slowly sat up from the bed.
Seeing this, the doctor quickly pressed him down, saying, "Don't move. Your condition is still unclear. You can't move around."
Bai Xu was forcibly pressed back down by the doctor, and then a girl behind the doctor asked with wide eyes, "Doctor, how is he? He won't die again, will he?"
The girl's voice was ethereal and melodious, and Bai Xu's gaze unconsciously lingered on her for a moment.
"Don't worry! Now that you're awake, you won't die!"
The doctor's tone was a bit harsh, but it wasn't entirely his fault. The girl had asked him at least ten times whether the patient would die as soon as she entered the room.
He runs a clinic that treats and saves lives, and people keep asking him if he'll die. No wonder he's in a bad mood.
The doctor held Bai Xu down, asked him how he was feeling, and carefully examined his eyes and tongue. Seeing that there was nothing seriously wrong, the doctor withdrew his hand.
"You can go back after resting for a while. If you feel unwell after you get back, you can come to the clinic again."
The doctor packed up his medicine box and was about to leave when the princess quickly stopped him. "Doctor, don't you need any medicine or tonics? Or do you not need to take any tonics?"
This was the only question the princess had asked since she entered that made the doctor feel comfortable.
Seeing that she was not very old, the doctor did not pursue the matter further. "He has bumped his head, and medicine will not help. But you should observe him closely when you get home, especially at night. It is best not to let him sleep alone."
"ah?"
The princess was instantly stunned. She stared blankly at the doctor, blinked, and murmured, "Don't let him sleep alone?"
What does "Don't let him sleep alone" mean? Something about that sentence feels a bit off.
Seeing that the princess didn't seem very bright, the doctor added, "Just arrange for someone to watch over him and keep watch at night. If there are no problems after these two days, it will prove that this young master is truly alright."
