Chapter 211 New Incident

"This is a fake face." Yan Qingqiu said.

Miss Dong frowned and said, "There is a spy in this mansion. This is unacceptable!" She handed the medicine in her hand to An Yan, but was stopped by Li Rongsen. He thought it was better to be careful.

An Yan signaled Li Rongsen that this was unnecessary and said, "It has nothing to do with her."

"Then we have to find out who it is."

"They are basically people from Huashe Mountain. This wooden stick is only found in Huashe Mountain. And this is a man pretending to be a woman." Yan Qingqiu explained.

Miss Dong was not angry with Li Rongsen. She said, "Oh, you are quite good at protecting your master, but she and I have been friends for many years. Hurting her is like hurting myself. Why should I do that?"

"That's true. West City and East Mansion have always been closely connected." Yan Qingqiu nodded.

"Please find a place to rest. I'll take her there first." Li Rongsen said as he picked up An Yan horizontally.

"I can walk by myself, put me down." An Yan said as she walked over and pulled Miss Dong's hand, indicating that she should give her the medicine. After taking it, she would have the strength to walk.

But Miss Dong didn't give it to her, instead she smiled.

Seeing her like this, Yan Qingqiu asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that the people in West City are loyal." Miss Dong said as she led them to the yard that had been prepared for them.

Everything had been packed up by now. An Yan lived in the middle room, while Yan Qingqiu and Li Rongsen lived in the two side rooms.

Li Rongsen carried An Yan to the couch and put her down.

Miss Dong handed her the medicine and poured her a glass of water, saying, "I'm more anxious about this than you are. A spy in the mansion is no joke."

"Maybe, they are coming for you. Today they are just taking the opportunity to sow discord between you and me, and it will also help Huashe Mountain to seize other cities and villages." An Yan said.

"That's right. There must be more than one spy." Miss Dong was a little worried.

"You have to keep that face. She will definitely come to ask for it." An Yan reminded her again.

Miss Dong frowned and said, "I'll lock her up." She was about to get up and go over, but was stopped by An Yan. She said, "You'd better be careful, otherwise..."

"What's wrong?" Miss Dong asked her, and saw Yan Qingqiu walk in with water. He said, "It's raining outside."

"Let's find the spy tonight, and also see if the two families over there have any bad intentions towards the Dong Mansion." An Yan said to Miss Dong, and then covered her ears and whispered something.

Miss Dong nodded slightly and then left the room.

Li Rongsen asked: "An Yan, what did you say to her just now?"

"Catch the spy." An Yan replied.

Yan Qingqiu sat on the stool and asked her, "You must have given her a good idea."

"That depends on whether the spy can keep his composure." An Yan slowly let out a breath, and then began to close his eyes and rest.

"It seems that the people on Huashe Mountain are planning a big plan." Yan Qingqiu said.

"It's time to go back to West City. I wonder if the old man can hold on."

"The old man is very capable. He has guarded West City for so many years. How could he be destroyed at this moment?"

"Yan Qingqiu, the woman you like is really capable." An Yan said while looking at Yan Qingqiu, seemingly with deep meaning.

Yan Qingqiu frowned and said, "She just loves to play and make trouble, and likes to be the center of attention."

"The Poison Fairy is her, and Qian Momo is also her, right?" An Yan asked.

Yan Qingqiu frowned, pursed his lips and said nothing. Then he heard An Yan say, "No wonder you were so anxious to see her. It turns out it's because she married someone else, and that made you unhappy."

"Not necessarily. There are many people with the same name and surname." Yan Qingqiu refused to admit it.

"How many men like her?" An Yan asked again.

"There are many, too many to count, but she and I have the best relationship. We have known each other since childhood and are related by marriage, so naturally she is different from others." Yan Qingqiu said this purely to save face.

"So different that I never thought of coming to see you."

Yan Qingqiu covered his face and then said, "I don't have much time to see her either. We can't agree on a time to meet."

Li Rongsen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, knowing that Yan Qingqiu was lying.

An Yan asked again: "Yan Qingqiu, have you ever seen her true face?"

"She just had that face. Actually, I don't remember much about her." Yan Qingqiu spoke frankly, and then said, "When we were little, I always called her ugly. Later, I thought she was actually quite good-looking."

"So you called her ugly." An Yan nodded slightly.

"After I fell in love with her, I no longer thought she was ugly," Yan Qingqiu said again.

"What does love feel like?" An Yan asked him.

Yan Qingqiu frowned. He didn't understand, let alone figure it out. He said, "Anyway, she's in my heart and I can't let her go." He then asked Li Rongsen, "Do you think you've ever loved anyone?"

Li Rongsen was stunned and didn't respond immediately.

"I see that you talk about Xiaohua every day. You take everything she says seriously. You took it so seriously the other day when she just said the dishes were not washed clean." An Yan said this intentionally or unintentionally.

"I don't like being looked down upon. She is insulting my ability to do things." Yan Qingqiu quickly defended himself.

Suddenly, many people came over from outside.

The person leading the way was the mansion's second housekeeper, a woman in her late forties who usually managed all matters of the mansion. She was a powerful figure who looked down on everyone else but Miss Dong. She said, "Miss Dong is gone."

"What?" Yan Qingqiu raised his eyebrows. Even Li Rongsen found it unbelievable. He subconsciously walked closer to An Yan, ready to protect her at any time.

But An Yan looked calm. She asked, "Why is it gone?"

"She went out of your room and then fell at the door. You must be responsible for this," the second housekeeper accused her.

"I have a close relationship with your eldest daughter. Everyone knows this. Why would I harm her?" An Yan asked.

"Of course it's to annex the East Palace. Who wouldn't covet the East Palace? You chose to come here at a time like this, so you must have bad intentions."

"What's in your mouth, woman? Your words are so foul." Yan Qingqiu couldn't help but scold her.

"Shut up, you bastard!" The second housekeeper immediately spat at Yan Qingqiu and said, "Look at your character. All you do is hang around women all day. What kind of ability do you have?"

"I don't mind showing you what I can do!" Yan Qingqiu said as he started fighting with the woman.

Everyone was just watching the show, and An Yan didn't intend to stop them.

The second steward stopped when he couldn't fight and said, "See? They are here to seize our East Palace. They went to Flower Snake Mountain to get help from people who came to the palace. They are determined to subdue the people in the West City."

An Yan became excited when she heard this and asked her, "Why do you want to find someone from Flower Snake Mountain to enter the mansion? You can go to the North Courtyard or the South Suburbs, which are not cheap, but you want to go to Flower Snake Mountain at the foot of West City?"

"What do you care about me?"

"Well, I know I can't escape, so you might as well tell me the truth. How many of the people in this mansion are from Huashe Mountain? I, Xicheng, will take responsibility for them on your behalf. How about it?" An Yan said.

The second steward laughed and said, "It's great that you came here. Firstly, you took the blame for me, allowing me to take over the East Palace naturally. Secondly, you have the first chance to destroy the West City, so naturally I will get a bigger share."

"How did Miss Dong disappear?" An Yan asked again.

"She died of poisoning. It was because of the medicine you gave her." The second butler said as he glanced back.

Miss Dong was lying on the single bed, and it was obvious that she died from taking poison.
