Chapter 27 . 2: Heaven’s on My Side!
[Haven’t seen her for more than a year, Her Highness has grown up and looks more beautiful . But Her Highness does not seem to remember them and isn’t as close to them like she was before . ]
After everything was all prepared, Zi Wan came over to stand behind Duanmu Xi and bowed in greeting . “Your Highness Crown Princess, the water is ready and Your Highness can begin with your bath . ”
“Mm . ”
“Then allow your servant help Your Highness undress . ” Zi Yan stepped forward, thinking to help Duanmu Xi undress .
Duanmu Xi turned around and dodged away from her, before ordering coldly .
“No need . Both of you are dismissed . ”
She didn’t want people to come help her take off her clothes, and it was the same even if they were women .
Zi Wan and Ai Yan were taken aback but they still bowed respectfully as they retreated their way out .
“Your servant shall take her leave . ”
Till Zi Wan and Zi Yan had gone out from the room, Duanmu Xi then came to stand before the bathtub and began to disrobe .
The warm water washed away the exhaustion on Duanmu Xi’s body . Coming back here made her feel like she had come home .
[Now, she has Father, Mother, Snowy, and there’s also Little Shadow and Lan Ze . She’s no longer lonely, but if Grandfather was here as well, then it would be even better . ]
[Grandfather, Little Xi misses you… . . ]
After about half an incense stick’s time, Duanmu Xi was done with her bath . She wrapped the bath towel around herself and stepped out from the bath .

“Have the helpers come in . ”
Hearing the call, Zi Wan and Zi Yan pushed the room door open and bowed before Duanmu Xi . “Your Highness . ”
“Get me a suit of white clothes . ”
Yes, Your Highness”
— At the main doors of Duke Jing’s Manor . —
Duanmu Shuang climbed out of the sedan with a darkened face .
“Summon the Lady Heir to come see me in my study . ”

She had just taken a step inside the manor when Duanmu Shuang turned to give Black Plum the order .
“Yes Your Highness . ”
After a low bow, Black Plum turned and walked away in another direction .
After a cup of tea’s time, Duanmu Qing came into the study .
Seeing Duanmu Shuang standing by the window with her hands behind her back, Duanmu Qing furrowed her brows .
“Mother?”
“The Crown Princess has come back . ”

Duanmu Shuang still had her gaze looking outside the window, her voice sounding rather faraway .
“What! ? She managed to come back?” Just a few short words was enough to make Duanmu Qing jump up in rage .
Hearing the surprised cry, Duanmu Shuang knitted up her brows and turned to look at Duanmu Qing looking highly displeased .
Detecting Duanmu Shuang’s displeasure, Duanmu Qing immediately restrained her temper .
“Then what about those assassins we sent?”
Duanmu Shuang’s eyes flashed with a cold glint as venomous as a viper’s as she spat out three words through gritted teeth .
“Completely wiped out . ”
She had sent out so many elite mystic warriors but not a single one had come back alive .
