Chapter 208: I Am Your Chu Great General

The small garden fell into an eerie silence.

With the first two arrows, Meng Qianqian had demonstrated her archery skills. She could hit a moving target, let alone a living person standing still. Moreover, after Wanping Princess covered their heads with helmets, they had a fatal weakness—they couldn't hear the sound of arrows being released from the other side.

The previous arrow that Meng Qianqian shot was based on her enticing Bai Yuwei to shoot at the angle she had set, thus judging the direction and timing.

It wasn't that she could hear.

The same went for Bai Yuwei.

When Bai Yuwei realized that her ears could only hear her own heavy breathing, she completely fell apart.

She raised her hand to remove the helmet.

Wanping Princess coldly said, "Miss Bai! Are you conceding defeat?"

Bai Yuwei huffed angrily, "I don't want to wear the helmet! Change it to a cloth strip for me!"

Wanping Princess was already in a bad mood after so many precious items were damaged, and this Miaojiang young lady kept fussing around. She was thoroughly annoyed.

"You were the one who said the cloth strip was unacceptable, and now you want to change back to it. Did you set the rules? If you can't play by them, don't play at all!"

She wasn't taking sides; she simply couldn't stand it.

Tan'er took a bite of the sugared skewer and said, "I advise you to concede quickly. My sister never misses, and your life might be in danger!"

Bai Yuwei, embarrassed and angry, said, "But you just said she didn't understand archery! You're lying! You're all lying!"

Zhou Nanyan frowned and said, "So, you heard that? Knowing that Meng Qianqian's archery is not exceptional, you still insisted on competing with her. Aren't you bullying her?"

Bai Yuwei pointed in Meng Qianqian's direction, "But does she look like someone who doesn't know archery?"

Zhou Nanyan argued, "So, you only wanted to compete with Meng Qianqian if she was unskilled? Wanping Princess is right. If you can't play by the rules, don't play at all. It's truly disgraceful!"

Bai Yuwei angrily drew the whip from her waist and snapped it on the ground.

Tan'er quickly stepped in front of Zhou Nanyan.

Meng Qianqian aimed at Bai Yuwei and pulled the bowstring to its full extent.

"Stop!" Bai Qingchen stopped Bai Yuwei and stood up, saying to Meng Qianqian, "Lu Shaofuren, my sister concedes!"

Bai Yuwei's face turned red with anger. "Brother!"

Meng Qianqian said indifferently, "Will you concede on her behalf? Does that count?"

Bai Qingchen spoke seriously, "It counts. My sister's skills are inferior, and she admits defeat. Please, Lu Shaofuren, spare her."

Meng Qianqian didn't immediately release the bowstring but turned to face the others, saying, "Wanping Princess."

Wanping Princess spoke with fairness, "I, the princess, bear witness. In this competition, the winner is Meng Xiaojiu of the Shier Wei."

Bai Yuwei, furious, took off her helmet and threw it to the ground along with the bow and arrows in her hand. She then roughly removed the blindfold and tossed it to the ground, stomping on it a few times in anger!

Wanping Princess glanced at the broken bow and dirty helmet that Bai Yuwei had thrown, rolled her eyes, and said to the manager, "Add it to her bill."

The manager quickly took out a pen and started calculating, "One Imperial Bow, one War Helmet, three Fragrant Cloud Silk Headbands..."

"I'm never coming to this lousy Princess Mansion again!"

Bai Yuwei stormed off in anger.

Xun Yu's expression changed slightly. He had been a silent observer, hoping to witness the deepening grudge between the Governor's Mansion and Miaojiang, but he didn't want to offend Wanping Princess.

He quickly bowed to Wanping Princess, "Princess, about Miss Bai..."

"Enough. Don't say it was unintentional. Whether intentional or not, this princess doesn't care."

Wanping Princess had heard too much nonsense today and had no patience to listen to anyone's complaints.

The manager handed the account book to Bai Qingchen, "Young Master Bai, your sister has left, and as her brother, you should settle her debts, right?"

Everyone present had heard it clearly, as Bai Yuwei had just promised to compensate for all the losses.

Bai Qingchen took the account book, "I'll have the silver delivered to your residence shortly."

Princess Wanping nodded, "That's best."

Meng Qianqian removed her helmet and cloth, handing them along with the large bow, intact, to the Lady Official.

Princess Wanping glanced at Meng Qianqian, feeling that this woman was slightly more tolerable than Bai Yuwei.

Princess Wanping despised those who took advantage of the weak.

Even if she disliked those weaker than her, she wouldn't intentionally make things difficult for them. The ones she showed her displeasure to were the Empress and the Imperial Concubine.

The only person she had ever bullied due to her status was Meng Qianqian.

All because Meng Qianqian had taken Lu Yuan. Unforgivable.

Meng Qianqian had already returned to her seat, sensing Princess Wanping's gaze.

Was it an illusion? Why did it feel like Princess Wanping's attitude towards her shifted from admiration to resentment?

Meng Qianqian pondered, then stood up and said to Princess Wanping, "Princess, the bet is settled. May I take Chen Long now?"

Princess Wanping replied indifferently, "Take him."

Si She spoke up, "Chen Long, I have some questions for you. Weiyang, Haizhu, since you're here too, you can join. You Ji."

Ji Li's face turned cold, "Call me Ji Li!"

Meng Qianqian knew that Si She wanted to investigate the traitor.

As she had no memory of that time, she couldn't determine who had falsely transmitted the order of the "Chu Great General." She needed to listen; perhaps by interacting with the Shier Wei, she could trigger some memories.

Meng Qianqian approached Princess Wanping and smiled at her, "Princess Wanping."

Princess Wanping asked, "I've given you the person, what more do you want?"

Meng Qianqian rubbed her hands, "I'll talk to the Shier Wei, and I'd appreciate it if you could look after Lu Yuan's mother for me."

Princess Wanping was taken aback.

It seemed like she was asking for a favor.

The group decided to head to a nearby pavilion to talk.

Meng Qianqian followed with quick, large strides.

Si She said, "Xiao Yinhu, this doesn't concern you, so don't follow."

Meng Qianqian glared at her, "How is this not my business? I'm your—"

Chu, Da, Yuan, Shuai!

Half an hour later, Meng Qianqian, her acupoints struck by Si She, was carried back to the small garden by two maids from the Princess Mansion, her face ashen.

On the way back to the Xun family's carriage.

Bai Yuwei spoke with resentment, "Brother, why did you concede? I don't believe she dared to hurt me!"

Bai Qingchen spoke sternly, "If I hadn't conceded in time, your right hand would have been crippled."

Bai Yuwei argued, "She's not that powerful! Brother, don't boost her morale and diminish your own!"

Bai Qingchen didn't continue debating the facts with his sister but said, "Weiwei, your behavior will make me regret bringing you along."

Bai Yuwei called out in distress, "Brother!"

Bai Qingchen spoke with weight, "In Miaojiang, everyone yields to you because of Grandfather's protection. But here in the capital, you can't act as willfully as you did in Miaojiang. Now, I'm relieved you didn't marry Lu Yuan. With your temperament, you're not suited to be a lady in the capital."

Bai Yuwei burst into tears, lifting the curtain and jumping out of the moving carriage.

The carriage driver was startled and quickly pulled the reins to stop the horse.

Bai Qingchen asked, "Where are you going?"

Bai Yuwei said with grievance, "I'm going to find Grandfather! I'll tell him someone bullied me!"
