Shen Tingsi's heart was pounding, but his expression remained calm. "Did you send that note too?"
The man walked to the outside of the bed curtains, staring at him through the curtains with a penetrating gaze. "Since the Second Miss has read the note, she should know what His Royal Highness Prince Zhan wants to ask."
Shen Tingsi sneered and said coldly:
"I do know what your master wants to know."
The man raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to continue.
"But if I want to speak, I have one condition."
Shen Tingsi slowly sat up straight, looking at him with a cold gaze, exuding a tough aura that shouldn't belong to a woman in the inner house. "If he helps me leave the Marquis' Mansion, I will tell him everything I know, and I promise not to hide anything."
The man was silent for a moment, then asked:
"Why did the Second Miss leave the Marquis' Mansion?"
Shen Tingsi sneered:
"You, the people of the Imperial City Division, know exactly how the Wenning Marquisate has treated me. Since they don't treat me as a family member, but rather as a prisoner and a criminal, mistreating and abusing me in every way, I would rather abandon my status as a young lady of the Marquisate and make my own way outside. At least I can live like a human being."
He originally wanted to ask the people from the Imperial City Department to take him to see the emperor, but after thinking it over again and again, he felt that making such a request right away would only make Shen Yubai suspicious of him and would cause more trouble.
Therefore, he wanted to use the power of the Imperial City Bureau to leave the Marquis' Mansion first.
Whether asking the Marquis' Mansion to release the people or escaping secretly, it is much better than being trapped in this hellhole.
The man looked him up and down, paused, and said:
"Since we want to make a deal, Miss Second must show some sincerity first, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the master when I return."
After Shen Tingsi pondered for a while, he whispered:
"The Ninth Prince was seriously injured that day on the outskirts of the city. He was indeed being hunted. When I applied medicine to the Ninth Prince, I removed a gear-shaped hidden weapon from his body. It had strange patterns on it.
Although I am not familiar with martial arts, I can see that this kind of hidden weapon is very rare. As long as the hidden weapon is identified, I should be able to trace the identity of its owner.
If Prince Zhan can help me escape from the Marquis' Mansion, I will draw the specific appearance of the hidden weapon for him.
So, this deal is not a bad one for you, right?"
He is the real Ninth Prince, and no one knows what happened that day better than him.
But what puzzled him was why Shen Yubai wanted to investigate this matter.
Also, why did Shen Yubai think that the girl who saved him was "Jiang Xiancao"?
The person who saved him was obviously Jiang Huaizhu!
The doubts in Shen Tingsi's heart grew heavier, but he was afraid that he would lose this hard-earned opportunity, and he couldn't ask the man anything.
The man nodded, "Since the Second Miss is so sure, I will go back and report to the Master."
After saying this, he turned and left.
Shen Tingsi called him, "When will you reply to my letter?"
"No later than ten days."
Shen Tingsi felt that the wait was still too long, but before he could bargain, the man had already used Qinggong to leave through the back window.
After the man left, Shen Tingsi suddenly thought of the missing glutinous rice balls.
He got out of bed nervously and looked for Tangyuan in the empty room.
When he reached the door, he heard a commotion coming from the yard.
Tang Yuan cried, "These are the young lady's clothes, stop it!"
After hearing this, Shen Tingsi hurried out and saw Nanny Li with two maids pouring out Tangyuan's freshly washed clothes from the basket, throwing them on the ground and searching for something.
Seeing this scene, Shen Tingsi's face turned cold.
As soon as the people from the Imperial City Bureau left, the Jiang family ordered these slaves to cause trouble again.
They were really bold. Relying on the support of the crown prince, they ignored the imperial edict of his father and continued to abuse the legitimate daughter of their family even more severely.
Seeing Tangyuan crying and trying to get the clothes back, she was pushed away and fell to the ground, and was spat on. "We are all serving the eldest master. Who do you think you are? How dare you stop me!"
Shen Tingsi stepped forward angrily and slapped the maid who pushed her.
The maid was stunned by the beating, and then screamed:
"Why did the Second Miss hit someone?"
Shen Tingsi raised his hand and slapped her again, "Just because you are a slave and I am the master's lady!"
The maid was unwilling to accept and wanted to speak. Shen Tingsi raised her hand again, and Li Ma said coldly beside her:
“That’s enough!”
Shen Tingsi ignored Li Ma's words and slapped the maid for the third time, making her face red, and then stopped.
Then he turned around and stared at Li Ma Ma with a cold gaze, "You are just a servant, why did you scream at the master just now?"
Li Ma's heart trembled slightly at his gaze, and then she sneered:
"Second Miss, believing she has the support of the Ninth Prince and the Imperial City Bureau, has indeed become increasingly arrogant. But if I remember correctly, your engagement with the Ninth Prince is now over. You are just an ordinary woman relying on the protection of the Marquis' Mansion. Where does your arrogance come from?
As for the old slave, although he is just a servant, he has been with the old lady. Could it be that the second young lady doesn't even take the old lady seriously?"
Shen Tingsi sneered, "Don't use the old lady to pressure me. If she saw you two servants being so arrogant in my room, she wouldn't stand up for me, her own granddaughter. Would she help you continue to humiliate me? There is no such cruel grandmother in the world!"
Nanny Li's eyes turned cold. "The Second Young Miss has become increasingly sharp-tongued. She even dares to talk about the Old Madam casually!"
Shen Tingsi helped Tangyuan up from the ground, swept his eyes over everyone present, and said sternly, "Tangyuan is mine. If anyone dares to touch her again, I will kill that blind bastard even if it costs me my life!"
