I Became the Eye Candy: Four Bigshots Claimed to be My Dad?-Chapter 49: Calm in the Face of Danger, and She Protected Her Father

Ye Qianning knew who had provoked the old Princess Consort into setting this trap.

But she couldn’t say much. After all, it was beyond the capabilities of a normal person.

She believed Prince Helian would find this person and give her father an explanation.

"Alright, I will have my men investigate thoroughly." Prince Helian said, his gaze falling on the silver needles covering the old Prince. He then asked, "The poison afflicting my father... can it be cured?"

"I’ve only temporarily slowed the spread of the poison. For a complete detoxification, we’ll have to wait for the Imperial Physician from the palace. They’ll surely have a way to purge it." ’If this were before, a single pill would have solved it.’

’However, her personal space was too small at the moment, and she hadn’t started cultivating medicinal herbs yet. The poison in the old Prince was potent because of how fast it spread, but as long as it could be slowed, it was actually quite easy to purge.’

"Good. I never expected someone so young to possess such skill. Your medical arts are astonishing. You’re a true prodigy and will surely achieve great things in the future," Prince Helian couldn’t help but praise.

He hadn’t stopped the little girl for a number of reasons, but the longer it went on, the more he felt she could perhaps be trusted.

The disturbance had come quickly, and it ended just as fast.

The old Prince’s birthday banquet at the Helian Royal Mansion concluded abruptly amidst the scare. Some people were still in a daze, while others knew exactly what had transpired.

Of course, regardless of which group they fell into, everyone gathered in the rear courtyard now saw the five or six-year-old child in a completely new light.

I mean, whose child would dare to even speak in a situation like that?

Sigh... but General Xiang’s daughter did. She was calm in the face of danger and even protected her old man!

Inside the carriage, Xiang Minghou held Ye Qianning, his weathered face beaming with delight. If not for his beard, you would have seen him grinning from ear to ear.

"Dad, why are you still so happy?" Ye Qianning was a bit speechless from his staring.

"HAHAHAHA! Dad had no idea your medical skills were so incredible! Who did you learn from?" Xiang Minghou was happy, truly overjoyed.

"I didn’t need to learn. I just know by looking."

"You just know by looking?" Xiang Minghou was astonished.

Ye Qianning nodded.

"HAHAHAHAHA! So my daughter is a genius! Wonderful! I’ve really hit the jackpot!" Xiang Minghou’s loud, clear laughter trailed behind the carriage all the way.

「General’s Mansion」

Xiang Mingli and Mrs. Wang were complaining to the old matriarch. Living in the capital, Xiang Mingli was usually the one to attend the various birthday banquets with his family. But now that Xiang Minghou had returned, they didn’t even have a chance to show their faces.

"Mother, how could Big Brother do this? For the old Prince’s birthday banquet, we brothers should have gone together. But no, he just took that little bastard with him without a word. Isn’t this a clear sign that he doesn’t respect us at all?"

"Exactly. Your daughter-in-law even picked out a birthday gift with Lord Li’s wife a few days ago. Now that we didn’t go, won’t we be a laughingstock?" Mrs. Wang said, her face full of sorrow.

Old Mrs. Xiang wasn’t particularly concerned about this. "In the General’s Mansion, he is the head of the household. Since he has returned, you two should involve yourselves less in these matters from now on."

"Mother, I went to great lengths to become a familiar face to all the officials! Aren’t you concerned about your son’s future at all?" Xiang Mingli fumed. "Besides, Big Brother actually took a bastard of unknown origin with him. You have to do something about this."

Old Mrs. Xiang also disliked the girl who had appeared so suddenly. She had no idea what kind of spell the child had cast on her son.

"Old Madam, the General has returned with the Young Miss," a maidservant came in to announce.

Xiang Mingli and Mrs. Wang exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised. Shouldn’t the banquet last until evening? Why were they back just after noon?
