Thinking of her past with Cheng Qian, she stood up and asked, "You said Cheng Dianyi was taken away by Chu Yong?"
Liu Nian nodded, as if she had thought of something. "Concubine, Cheng Dianyi wouldn't say anything nonsense, would he?"
Xiao Lin paced back and forth in the room, her hands nervously clasped together. It shouldn't be like that. It has been half a day. If Cheng Qian said anything, she couldn't stay in the yard.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and was glad that the ridiculous thing she had thought of a few days ago did not go further. Moreover, since the beginning of the first month of the year, she had almost no contact with Cheng Qian. Even if someone wanted to gossip about Meng, they would not be able to find evidence, provided that Cheng Qian kept his mouth shut.
"Do you think the prince will use him again?" asked Xiao Lin.
Liu Nian thought for a moment and said softly, "That depends on what the prince thinks about this matter."
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"This is what I think. If this incident is determined to be Cheng Dianyi's misconduct after drinking, he may only be fined a few months' salary. But if it is determined that he coveted the maid in the prince's palace or a more serious accusation, I'm afraid Cheng Dianyi's future will be in jeopardy." Liu Nian analyzed in a young voice.
Indeed, everything depended on how the prince dealt with Cheng Qian. However, with Baochun now taken back by her family, there was no one left in the outer courtyard. She now regretted having used Xiao Songzi more discreetly last year. She wouldn't have gotten the prince's wrath out on her for prying into the eldest young master's affairs, leading to Zhang Decheng dismissing her.
Liu Nian looked at Xiao Lin's expression, thought for a moment, and stepped forward and said, "I heard something else."
Xiaolin looked up, "What's the matter?"
"Jinzhi was taken away by Wang Chenghai."
"What do you mean? What do you mean taken away? Where did it go?" Kobayashi looked surprised.
Liu Nian's eyes were filled with worry. "I don't know. No one has found out yet. I wonder if it's related to Baochun's incident. It's said that Wang Chenghai took people to Yinyan Pavilion. Seeing Wang Chenghai had Jinzhi taken out, Concubine Wu was startled and reached out to stop him. Wang Chenghai blocked it. Wang Chenghai just told Concubine Wu to ask the princess for an explanation and that he was just following the princess's orders."
Xiaolin was surprised. How could this happen? How could the story of Jinzhi and Baochun be connected?
"Everyone in the mansion knows that Baochun, Jinzhi and Luolan, who was by Concubine Li's side, entered the mansion together. The three of them have a very good relationship. On weekdays, the two of them often go to the outer courtyard to look for Baochun. I just don't know why they only captured Jinzhi, but didn't hear any movement from Luolan." Liunian sighed.
"Go to Yinyan Pavilion and see if you can hear any news." Xiao Lin whispered.
"I think it's better not to go forward at this time. When I just came back, I saw Concubine Wu going to Jing'an Garden. I'm afraid that if I go to inquire at this time, I won't get any information. I don't want to attract the attention of the princess's people. You know, I don't know how Wang Chenghai got so many people together. It seems that he has eyes in every corner of this inner house." Liunian thought for a while and said hesitantly.
Xiao Lin nodded. That was right, especially after the Chinese New Year. She had only been back to the Lin family in the first month of the lunar year and had not had the chance since then. She even tried to bring something for her aunt but failed. Even when she claimed to be the eldest young master, the princess rejected her request.
Especially now that the princess is pregnant, people say pregnant women tend to have bad tempers. But if I don't go to Jing'an Garden, how can I complete the task assigned to me by the Lin family?
Originally, I wanted to use Baochun to hold the prince back, or let Cheng Qian come forward to talk about it, so that I could at least give an explanation to the Lin family. But now, both of them are powerless, and I can't get out. What should I do?
