Master Nalan was silent.

In fact, the spirit herbs would die if he did not do anything to save it.

“We have a 100-year-old ginseng in the Nalan family. Jing’er, do what Qing’er has said.”

Nalan Jing slightly nodded and looked at Feng Ruqing in confusion. He returned her wine jar and turned around to walk toward the storeroom.

***

Nalan Zhangqian rushed home at lightning speed. His forehead was covered in sweat and his complexion was pale.

He could see an old and a young person standing in front of Feng Ruqing. His facial expression shifted, his eyes were filled with anxiety.

But, who knew…

Nalan Dai’er was not as afraid of Feng Ruqing as she was before. Her small body leaned toward Feng Ruqing and her face glowed with an innocent smile.

Even Master Nalan was calm and at peace. He was not furious.

Even so, Nalan Zhangqian did not lower his guard with Feng Ruqing. He took big strides toward Feng Ruqing, stopped in front of her, greeted her, and kneeled on one knee.

“Your Highness.”

Feng Ruqing was shocked. She quickly helped Nalan Zhangqian up. She smiled and said, “Uncle, you don’t have to be like this. We are a family. You don’t have to greet me by kneeling.”

She could accept all the respect given by the other people but not the ones given by the elders in her family.

Nalan Zhangqqian stood up but his handsome face was still solemn. “Princess, my father is not feeling well today. He cannot receive any guests. Please leave and I will bring my father to visit you at the princess’s manor when I am free in the future.”

“Zhangqian!” Master Nalan frowned at that. His face sunk. “Qing’er seldom comes to our manor. As her uncle, you not only did not order tea for her, now you want to dismiss her.”

Nalan Zhangqian was shocked. He did not think that his father would be partial toward Feng Ruqing. He suppressed his emotion and replied, “Dad, have you forgotten how she had provoked you and bullied Dai’er? I’m just worried about you.”

Master Nalan smiled and said, “But, she’s still Yan’er’s daughter.”

She was Yan’er’s daughter no matter what. How could he be so strict toward her?

If Feng Ruqing came and irritated him again this time, he would have made her leave without being asked by Nalan Zhangqian.

But, Feng Ruqing did not provoke him and she even treated Dai’er gently. He still could not be cruel toward her.

“I don’t want Cousin to leave.” Nalan Dai’er pulled at Feng Ruqing’s sleeve tightly, bit her lip, and looked at Nalan Zhangqian.

***

Nalan Zhangqian was astonished.

What had happened? Dai’er was so afraid of Feng Ruqing before and Master Nalan had sworn to never meet Feng Ruqing again.

But, why did they not want Feng Ruqing to leave now?

“Dai’er!” Nalan Zhangqian was nervous now. These people were quick to forgive and forget. Now that Feng Ruqing had treated them in a slightly better way, they had soon forgotten how nastily she had treated them before.

He had also given her many opportunities before but she had never changed.

“Dai’er likes Cousin.” Nalan Dai’er grabbed at her tightly as if she was afraid that Nalan Zhangqian would make her leave.

Her cousin seldom came to meet her. She did not want her to leave now that she had came.

Nalan Zhangqian was extremely nervous now. He wanted to say something but stopped short when he saw Nalan Jing walking in slowly with a teapot in his hands.
