My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived-Chapter 55 - Return to Chu Residence

She responded lightly with a sound, “Mm.”

“Humph, isn’t it just that she was born a bit better?

What’s so great about that, to actually put on such airs,” Chu You thought sourly in her heart.

“Today’s sudden visit to pay my respects, I wonder if it might have inconvenienced the General of Chu.

I often fight on the battlefield and have heard of General Chu’s renown.

Today at the banquet, I also felt an instant affinity with Miss Chu, so I wanted to make a trip to the Chu Residence.”

Chu Baihan spoke in a ghostly voice.

“The Princess Consort speaks too highly of us.

Your visit to the Chu Residence is our honor,” Although unable to decipher Chu Baihan’s thoughts, Chu Hesheng still responded respectfully.

“Miss Chu, your eyes and brows resemble someone I used to know,” Chu Baihan’s gaze fell on Chu You, and she said this with a profound meaning.

What?

Hearing Chu Baihan’s words, the hearts of those from the Chu family sank with a thud.

“Where is the Princess Consort’s old acquaintance now?” Jiang’s family couldn’t help but ask with some anxiety.

“Dead, dead for many years now,” Chu Baihan looked at Jiang’s family, articulating each word clearly.

Jiang’s family’s eyelids twitched violently again, her heart inexplicably filled with panic.

But Chu Hesheng was quick to react, speaking calmly, “There are many who bear a resemblance to each other in this world, and it is a fortune for Youyou to resemble the Princess Consort’s old acquaintance.

Just as my eldest daughter bears a resemblance to the Princess Consort, sadly, she is a person with shallow fortune and does not compare to the Princess Consort.”

When Chu Hesheng said the last part, his gaze towards Chu Baihan carried a probing intent.

“The eldest daughter General Chu speaks of, is it the late Princess Consort?” Chu Baihan asked with a raised brow.

“The Princess Consort knows of my eldest daughter?” Chu Hesheng’s probing intention grew stronger.

Chu Baihan spoke weakly, “I have heard of her, a Princess Consort who was burned to death in a great fire.”

Chu Hesheng then began to sigh, showing a sorrowful expression.

“Speaking of which, this daughter of mine had a hard life.

She lost her mother at a young age, was willful, and we all indulged her.

We thought that marrying her to the Prince would bring her happiness, but who could have expected that she would lose her life in a great fire.”

Indulged her?

Hearing these words, both Chu Baihan and Nan Xing almost burst into derisive laughter.

They had never seen such a shameless person.

“General Chu really is a wonderful father,” Chu Baihan said, with deep meaning.

Chu Hesheng couldn’t discern the praise or criticism and could only continue, “Please come inside, Princess Consort.”

Since Chu Baihan was a female guest, naturally she would be entertained by Jiang’s family and the others.

After Qin Hesheng arrived inside the residence, he quickly went to the study.

Jiang’s family led Chu Baihan to the pavilion.

After taking a seat, she poured a cup of tea for her and then began with a tone of great honor, “This servant’s wife truly did not expect the Princess Consort to visit our modest Chu Residence.”

“You are overstating it, I am new to Yan Country and just wanted to visit around.

And since Miss Chu resembles an old acquaintance of mine, I naturally felt a sense of closeness,” Chu Baihan took a sip of tea, speaking lightly.

But when the tea passed her lips, a glint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

“The weather has been hot and dry these days.

The ladies of the residence have taken a dislike to other teas.

Therefore, I’ve prepared some honeysuckle tea, which can relieve the heat.

I wonder if the Princess Consort still favors this flavor?” said Mrs.

Jiang, feigning nonchalance.

Hearing Mrs.

Jiang’s words, Nan Xing standing behind was almost infuriated to death.

This poisonous woman—she did it on purpose.

The Princess Consort used to be allergic to honeysuckle.

As a child, she almost died from touching it.

“Not bad, the flavor is quite good,” Chu Baihan’s eyes flickered.

She drank all the tea in one gulp right in front of them.

Mrs.

Jiang and Chu You watched her face intently, and after a long time without seeing any reaction, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With no reaction, she couldn’t be that wretched Chu Baihan.

Probably just someone who looked similar.

They shouldn’t scare themselves over nothing.

Noticing their sigh of relief, the corners of Chu Baihan’s mouth curled with an ironic arch.

A person who had nearly visited the Yama Hall twice—how could she not have overcome a mere allergy?

“Princess Consort, why does your maid always wear a veil?” asked Chu You, shifting her gaze from Chu Baihan to Nan Xing.

Was it her imagination?

Why did she feel that this maid looked very familiar as well?

“It’s a tradition of Nanduan Kingdom,” Chu Baihan replied, effectively silencing any further questions from Chu You.

Chu You’s heart stirred slightly.

Although the Princess Consort seemed aloof and somewhat disagreeable, she answered every question and her temperament seemed acceptable.

If they could forge a good relationship, wouldn’t that help her own marriage prospects?

For the past six years, the Su Family had been tightly holding onto her.

They even wanted her to marry Su Yuan, that useless man.

Although Liu Shuxin appeared to be friendly on the surface, the position of concubine to the Crown Prince had never materialized.

She had to find herself a new stepping stone…

No matter which Prince the Princess Consort married, given her status, bringing her over as a concubine should not be difficult.

Plus, if she established a good relationship with her now, it would be easier to suppress her later and step by step take her position.

Hadn’t her mother done the same to Madam Xu years ago?

With this in mind, Chu You took the initiative to hook arms with Chu Baihan.

“Princess Consort, the Chu Residence has many beautiful flowers.

Would you care to enjoy them?” she asked with a smile, coquettishly.

Admire flowers in the dead of night?

She really had refined tastes.

An ironic glint flashed in Chu Baihan’s eyes; she knew Chu You…

was about to start scheming again.

“Sure, I am yet to see how the flowers of Nanduan Kingdom differ from those of Yan Country,” Chu Baihan said, suppressing her emotions and getting up with Chu You.

The two arrived at the garden of the Chu Residence and noticed a pond not far away.

A brilliant flash passed through Chu You’s eyes.

If the Princess Consort were to fall into the pond and she came to her aid, would the other party remember her kindness?

Over the years, it was by such means that she had made many noble ladies of the capital owe her favors.
