Chapter 8 A New Artist?

Bai Qingqian nodded vigorously and made up a lie without blushing.

Even though Qin Jinmo was sharp-eyed and seemed to be able to read her mind in the next moment, she did not panic at all.

The confrontation lasted for 30 seconds, and Qin Jinmo looked away.

Bai Qingqian grinned. "There is always a way out. Prince Qin, don't you think so?"

Qin Jinmo ignored her, but she didn't care. She happily stuffed a water bag into his arms and said as she walked, "I didn't add much sugar. Drink it to quench your thirst and replenish your physical strength."

It just couldn't hold on for long.

Qin Jinmo held the water bag and watched her leave with a gloomy expression.

Qin Zhu looked at her back, and his eyes became colder and colder. He said to Qin Jinmo in a deep voice, "my prince, do you want me to keep an eye on Princess Bai?"

"Keep a close eye."

Qin Jinmo said in a cold voice, and there was a hint of contemplation in his dark eyes.

Would the second prince send these?

He didn't believe it. But if the Crown Prince sent it, it was even more unbelievable. Then how did Bai Qingqian get all this food?

Qin Jinmo frowned slightly and then handed the water bag to Qin Zhu. "There's no problem with the water. Drink some."

"Yes," Qin Zhu replied. He took a small sip and hung the water bag on his body. He planned to let Qin Jue drink some when he got back.

He and Qin Jue were sent by the marquis to protect Prince Qin, so they must have the power to resist when danger came.

Qin Jinmo sat in a wheelchair in silence, watching Bai Qingqian enthusiastically distribute water to the Bai family.

She added sugar to each water bag, and the servants were no exception.

When did she become so generous!

He narrowed his eyes and observed Bai Qingqian carefully.

Her snow-white skin was red from the sun, and her forehead was covered with sweat. Soon, the sweat rolled down her cheeks and disappeared on the dry ground.

If it weren't for the cinnabar mole at the end of her eye, he would have suspected that Bai Qingqian had been replaced when she met Chu Yu.

In fact, he was right. Bai Qingqian had already changed her soul.

Bai Qingqian had already noticed that Qin Jinmo was looking at her, but she pretended not to notice. She handed the water bag to Bai Qingzhou, then turned around and handed another to her second brother, Bai Qingyan.

Bai Qingyan hurriedly handed the water bag to Ruan Sisi. "Sisi, have some water."

Ruan Sisi was thirsty, but she knew that it was her sister-in-law who had given her the water. She snorted and said, "Who knows if it's poisoned? I won't drink it."

"Forget it if you don't want to drink it!" Bai Qingqian turned around and grabbed the water bag back. She took a big gulp and showed off. "It's a pity that some people don't drink it. The water is sweet."

"You!" Ruan Sisi was so angry that her face turned red. "Why should I give you my water!"

Ruan Sisi snatched the water bag back aggressively and took a big gulp.

Bai Qingyan looked at her sister in surprise. Why did he feel that she had deliberately provoked Sisi to drink water?

Sensing her brother's surprised gaze, she winked mischievously at him.

Ruan Sisi took a big sip of water and could not stop. She drank almost half of the bag in one gulp before stopping. "Tsk tsk, it's really sweet."

"Didn't you say you won't drink it?" Bai Qingqian teased.

Ruan Sisi blushed. "I'm thirsty. I won't let you get what you want!"

"Ah, yes, yes!" Bai Qingqian smiled and did not quarrel with her. Instead, she handed the water bag to her mother Yun Yan, who was still taking care of the children in the carriage.

The two children had just fallen asleep. Their faces were red, and their little mouths were not as dry as adults'. It should be her mother who had fed her water to the two little guys.

Bai Qingqian felt warm in her heart and handed the water bag to her. "Mother, please go and talk to my second sister-in-law. I'll take care of the two children."

"Okay." Yun Yan thought that she wanted to get closer to the two children, so she got out of the carriage without any suspicion.

Bai Qingqian quietly lifted the curtain and saw Qin Jinmo talking to her elder brother and second elder brother under the shade of the tree. Lu Anning, her elder sister-in-law, was talking with Ruan Sisi, her second sister-in-law. Her mother also went over.

The others were either sitting or lying on the ground. They were all recuperating. The guards were leaning against the big tree trunk and falling asleep.

Only then did she put down the curtain, sit beside the two children, and take out a big bowl of ewe's milk from the space.

Probably because the milk smelled good, the two little guys woke up in an instant.

His eyes were as dark as black gems. He blinked and couldn't wait to reach out his short hand to her.

She deliberately heated the ewe's milk, which was just right for the two babies. She fed it to Da Bao and Xiaobao with a small spoon.

After a while, more than half of the ewe's milk was gone.

When the last spoonful of soup was drunk, Bai Qingqian kissed the two babies with great relief and said with a gentle smile, "You two have a good appetite!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she changed the two little ones into clean diapers and fed them a bit of magical spring water.

The two children were awakened by delicious food and didn't sleep well at all. Now that they were full, they put on clean diapers, narrowed their eyes comfortably, and soon fell asleep.

She also drank a big bowl of ewe's milk and ate a vacuum-wrapped drumstick. Only then did she sleep with the two little guys for a while.

She was indeed exhausted from the walk just now.

Less than half an hour later, she was woken up by an unfamiliar scolding.

"Have you forgotten your identity, Princess Bai? You are now a sinner. You are not qualified to sit in a carriage, let alone sleep in a carriage!"

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw an ordinary face full of arrogance.

"Hey! Isn't this Chen Chuan." The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Chen Chuan darkened his face slightly and reminded her in a cold voice, "Princess Bai, I don't have any old affection for you."

"Ah, yes, yes!" Bai Qingqian smiled slightly. "The child can rest in the carriage, right? After all, he is the grandson of Marquis Weiwu."

Only then did Chen Chuan compromise. He was working nearby, but he had received an order from the Crown Prince to escort the Bai family to the Northwest region. He would investigate the relationship between the Second Prince and the Bai family and find out if the leg of Qin Jinmo had been saved.

He was not here to quarrel with Bai Qingqian.

Bai Qingqian looked at him indifferently.

Chen Chuan was one of the Crown Prince's trusted subordinates. He had been helping the Crown Prince do some things that the Crown Prince couldn't. But to everyone's surprise, he was sent here by the Crown Prince.

The reason why she recognized him was that the Crown Prince had specially introduced him to her in order to show that he attached great importance to the original owner.

Heh!

The original owner was stupid enough to fall into someone's trap.

She sneered in her heart and jumped out of the carriage, only to find that there were not only Chen Chuan, but also four strange men. One of them was scolding the two guards in a cold voice.

"It's useless to keep you here. You'd better go back. You don't have to guard here."

"But..." One of the guards looked embarrassed. "This is the order from the superior. If we just leave like this, it is absence without authorization."

"This is the Crown Prince's order."

He mentioned the Crown Prince. The guards' facial expression changed, and they were prepared to leave.

Before leaving, another guard asked Chen Chuan for some dry food shamelessly. They had no choice. Their food had been robbed. It would take at least five days to get to the next post. If they didn't have food, they could only starve to death on the way.

After Bai Qingqian witnessed all this, Chen Chuan walked up behind her and said in a gloomy voice, "Why are you standing here, Princess Bai? Are the Bai family and Prince Qin looking down on you and unwilling to let you get close to them?"

She turned her head and smiled. "You're so good at making things up. It's a pity that you didn't tell the Prince's fortune."
