When Yunhe returned from gathering the news, he was overjoyed. Everyone in the inner courtyard of the Prince's mansion, even the lowly maids, suffered because of them.

Now that neither Mr. Buyu nor Wuyai are in the Prince's Mansion, the poison that the master administered may not be so easy to cure. I wonder how that prince is feeling now.

"How's it going? There's some commotion outside, isn't there? My medicine should take effect quickly. Let's see how they handle this." Qian Youxue lay comfortably on the quilt, eating the grapes that Mei'er fed her.

The Prince's mansion was a wealthy place; even the grapes there were sweeter than those bought outside. If it weren't for her injury preventing her from sitting, she would have already wandered out to check on the situation.

"The War King must have guessed it was you, right?" Yunhe said with some concern.

"So what if he knows? He can pretend to be deaf and dumb, so why can't I? Remember, don't let any of them in. I need to rest for a few days to recover." Qian Youxue wasn't stupid. With such a commotion that day, it was impossible for someone not to have heard a thing.

If they want to use Granny Zhou to give her a hard time, then they should be prepared to bear the consequences. She rubbed her neck, then her eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at Yunhe: "By the way, I'm not sick, but I need some good tonics. Go and ask Granny Zhou for them."

"This servant understands, I'll go right away." Yunhe grinned slyly, her master was about to skin Prince Zhan alive!

...

"Your Highness, the Princess's gate is tightly closed. Only Yunhe came out from inside. The maid named Mei'er also seems to be injured." Leng Mo reported what he had seen to the prince.

Besides Xuan Mingye, Zhou Mama, Shuihua, and Shuicao were also in the room. After listening to Leng Mo's report, Shuihua retorted with great dissatisfaction: "Master, I did not hurt that girl named Mei'er at all. It was Yunhe who beat me and caused me internal injuries. Zhou Mama can testify for me."

"I never imagined that Miss Qian's maid was so formidable; even Shuihua was no match for her. Your Highness, what should we do if this continues?" Granny Zhou didn't directly answer Shuihua's question. She wasn't blind; she had witnessed Shuihua's deadly moves. However, out of consideration for her reputation, she didn't want to tell the prince.

A glint flashed in Xuan Mingye's eyes. He had never distrusted Granny Zhou before. But this time, Granny Zhou was clearly speaking up for Shuihua. Even so, he couldn't say anything, because she was someone his mother had left behind.

The room fell silent. No one could figure out what their master was thinking. Even Granny Zhou lowered her head because she felt guilty.

"If you're not at the Prince's residence, then go to the palace and find a doctor. Remember to bring back someone who can't keep a secret." After saying this, Xuan Mingye went into the inner room with his hands behind his back.

Even when Granny Zhou was bullied, the master didn't care. This shows how much the master favored this Miss Qian. If things continue like this, wouldn't that good-for-nothing secure the position of princess?

no!

Even if she couldn't be the master of the house, Qian Youxue shouldn't be allowed to live too comfortably. So, she stepped forward and cupped her hands in greeting to Leng Xue: "Brother Leng, let Shui Hua handle this."

Leng Xue thought it was a trivial matter and handed it over to Shui Hua without giving it much thought.

Shuihua is usually quite clean in her work, but this time she wanted to get revenge on Qian Youxue, so while carrying out her mission, she also deliberately spread other rumors, with the simple goal of ruining Qian Youxue's reputation.
