My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived-Chapter 56 - Chu You Suffers a Loss

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Chu You desperately spat out water, looking utterly disheveled.

Her maid was frantically patting her back to help her catch her breath.

Chu Baihan walked over, leaned down, and pressed firmly on Chu You’s abdomen and chest a few times.

She used her inner strength for these presses, and as soon as she did, Chu You felt like her bones were falling apart, but water unequivocally poured out of her mouth, and her breathing eased slightly.

“Why did you deliberately avoid me just now?” she asked Chu Baihan, sitting up from the ground.

“Miss, miss,” her maid called out, clearly worried.

It was only then that Chu You realized the person in front of her was not some concubine daughter from a minor family but the Princess of Nanduan Kingdom.

And also, had her pretense of tripping been discovered by the other?

Otherwise, why would she have deliberately avoided it?

Could this incident provoke her anger towards the Chu Residence?

As Chu You was racked with remorse, Chu Baihan tilted her head and said with a guilty expression, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you would fall.

I just thought the moonlight looked better over there, so I wanted to go have a look…”

“If I had known it would result in you falling into the water, I would have definitely tried to stop you.”

She, she really didn’t realize it was deliberate?

Chu You was stunned for a moment.

Looking at Chu Baihan’s open and repentant face, she felt inward glee.

To think she was worried about how formidable the Princess of Nanduan Kingdom would be, she turned out to be nothing but a naive fool without any schemes.

As long as she hadn’t been detected, Chu You had another chance to plot.

“Are you feeling better now?” Chu Baihan continued to ask sincerely.

Chu You’s chest was in excruciating pain, yet she had to pretend to be calm, “It’s nothing, I’m fine.

Princess, thank you for lending a hand just now.”

“It was nothing, just lending a hand.

Miss Chu, you should be more careful in the future,” Chu Baihan replied with a smile.

She, appearing like this, truly seemed to carry no pretense.

Chu You’s guard and concern gradually faded, and she said sheepishly, “I don’t know what happened.

I was just walking and suddenly slipped.”

“Suddenly slipping, I hope the Chu Residence isn’t harboring anything filthy.

I’ve heard that the souls of those who died with grievances often linger by the water.

If they encounter the person who harmed them in life, they try to pull them into the water…”

Chu Baihan leaned in close to Chu You’s ear and slowly, softly uttered these words.

Chu You initially thought nothing of it since she had intentionally slipped.

But after hearing Chu Baihan’s tone, she suddenly felt as though someone had indeed pushed her just then.

A chill wind blew, and goosebumps covered her entire body.

After all…

the number of people she had harmed was not small.

Could it be that they had really come back?

She swallowed hard, then looked around vigilantly.

Chu Baihan glanced at her cautiously before withdrawing her gaze and standing up, smoothing out the creases on her sleeve with her fingertips, she said softly, “It’s getting late, Miss Chu should rest well.

The Princess should head back to the residence.”

“Come, someone, see the Princess off.”

Although Chu You was unruly and overbearing by nature, she could still remember such basic manners.

If she had invited the Princess to the Chu Residence and then let the Princess return alone, she feared that there would be complaints against her father at the court session the next day.

“Miss Chu is unwell, you should rest.

I can return to the Princess Residence myself,”

Chu Baihan said indifferently.

“By the way, if Miss Chu has the time in the coming days, you could also invite the noble ladies of the capital to visit the Princess Residence.

It’s my initial arrival, and I would like the residence to be a bit more lively,” she continued, smiling at Chu You.

Chu You, touching the aching spot on her chest, brightened up when she heard this.

If she could let the noble ladies of the capital know that she had connected with such a high branch as the Princess, who would dare to look down on her?

Because she had been a concubine daughter and was involved with the Commandery Prince Residence, even after she became the legitimate daughter, the noble ladies of the capital still looked down on her.

“Alright, Princess, I will visit in the coming days,” Chu You nodded eagerly, her expression could not be more excited.

Chu Baihan withdrew her gaze and turned to leave.

In the moment she turned, her expression instantly turned ice cold.

After leaving the Chu Residence, Nan Xing said with dissatisfaction, “Princess, we were too lenient with Chu You today.”

“Lenient?” Chu Baihan raised an eyebrow, her eyes a cold clear, “This is only the beginning.

Remember, what we want is not just Chu You paying the price.

We aim for the entire Chu Family…

to be utterly disgraced and ruined.”

Hearing this, Nan Xing’s expression brightened, and she quickly responded, “Yes, Princess, I understand.”

“By the way, how is the investigation I asked you to conduct?”

Thinking of something, Chu Baihan’s eyes grew solemn.

Back then, when she was returning to her family’s home, she was injured by a dart.

She still did not know who had hurt her that year, and what the assailant’s motives were.

“Reporting back to the Princess, because much time has passed, it is a bit difficult to investigate, and we need more time,” Nan Xing answered with a frown.

“Hmm.

You all continue investigating,”

…

“Humph, although she’s a Princess, her temperament is like that of an ant, weak and incapable.

What a waste of her position,”

Inside the Chu Residence, Chu You, looking in the direction where Chu Baihan had left, began to speak with sarcasm.

If she were the Princess…

She would definitely not be so feeble; nobody would be able to scheme against her in the slightest!

She couldn’t help but think to herself that it would be wonderful if one day she could take over the identity of the Nanduan Kingdom’s Princess, just as she had taken everything from Chu Baihan in past years.

The maidservants and house guards stood by, heads lowered, none daring to utter a sound.

Suddenly, her cold gaze swept over the crowd.

“What are you doing?

Didn’t you see that I am still on the ground?

Hurry and help me up,” she scolded loudly.

“Yes, yes, Miss,” several maidservants scrambled to assist her.

“Ow, it hurts.

Are you trying to kill me with your carelessness?”

With severe pain in her chest, Chu You slapped one of them fiercely.

The faces of several maidservants swelled up.

“Have you not gone to fetch the house doctor yet?” Chu You shrieked.
