Chapter 236 Staying at the Anguo Mansion

But no matter who he asked for help, he had to first find out He Yong's whereabouts.

The secret guard named Lin Ji flew away, and He Yuyao suddenly remembered something: "Oh, cousin, there is one more thing."

"I think this incident can serve as a breakthrough."

"The daughter of the Ministry of Personnel's Vice Minister Lin was abducted and killed by evil people some time ago. The mastermind behind this incident should be He Yunyao." He Yuyao said this firmly.

Although she didn't have any evidence, He Yunyao's behavior that day already explained everything.

Thinking of this, He Yuyao shook his head: "But I don't have any evidence."

When Pei Chuyan heard what He Yuyao said, he did not show any shock. He just turned around and sat on the chair where his grandfather used to sit, and began to sort out these things carefully.

He Yuyao looked at his cousin in front of him with a serious face, and suddenly felt that he was very much like his father, Duke Anguo.

Although he is young, his domineering aura makes others take three steps back.

Pei Chuyan began to think carefully in his mind. The Jingzhao Prefecture had already filed a case on Miss Lin's case, and the Third Prince had also intervened.

Because of the Third Prince's intervention, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince paid special attention to the matter, so Pei Chuyan naturally knew a long time ago that Zhou had gone to Jingzhao Prefecture to withdraw the case.

So, He Yong, is it related to the third prince?

After figuring out the key to the matter, Pei Chuyan felt a lot more relieved. If it was just a matter of He Yunyao, it might not cause any harm to He Yong.

But if he has anything to do with the Third Prince, it will be very easy to control him in the future.

Pei Chuyan stood up and looked at He Yuyao in front of him: "Cousin, it's inconvenient for you to carry this memorial, leave it here with me!"

Then he said in a firm tone: "Don't worry, cousin, I will definitely seek justice for my aunt, but this matter requires long-term consideration and cannot be rushed. Cousin, you..."

Before Pei Chuyan finished speaking, He Yuyao interrupted him: "Cousin, I believe you."

"Now I don't know if I can still intervene. I can only try my best not to cause trouble for my cousin," He Yuyao looked at Pei Chuyan very sincerely. She knew that although Pei Chuyan was young, he was a very scheming person.

"If you need me, please let me know. If I get any new evidence, I will notify you as soon as possible."

Pei Chuyan also smiled and nodded. Fortunately, his cousin understood.

Based on his own principles, he was unwilling to involve his cousin too much. He wanted to avoid He Yuyao as much as possible if he could handle it himself.

Then he stepped out and looked outside: "It's too late tonight. I'm going to stay at the Anguo Mansion. I'll ask Butler Lin to take my cousin back."

He Yuyao thought about it and said "Okay".

With someone to share the responsibility, He Yuyao's steps became much lighter every time she stepped into the He Mansion.

Unexpectedly, the nanny beside Lin was already waiting for her outside the door.

They were used to bullying He Yuyao, so their words were also sinister: "After all, the eldest lady is too generous. Now because of the cousin's matter, our second lady is sick and uncomfortable, and the eldest lady is still running out every day."

"You came back so late today. It's really unbecoming of our family."

When He Yuyao looked at the nanny's expression, she suddenly felt relieved.

In the past, she cared about other people's eyes and was afraid of the maids in the mansion. But she was the eldest daughter of the mansion, so why should she be afraid of what they might do?

Thinking of this, He Yuyao took a quick step forward and slapped the nanny on the face with a "pa" sound.

"Open your eyes and see whose carriage I came back in!" Then he walked inside with his head held high.

The nanny was stunned by He Yuyao and didn't react for a while. But after she reacted, she hurriedly trotted outside the mansion to see the carriage that the eldest lady was riding in.

It turned out to be the carriage of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

The nanny ran back in a hurry, not caring about the slap she had just received from He Yuyao.

All I could think about was that the eldest lady still had contact with the Duke of Anguo's Mansion. Would the eldest lady know about the past? The eldest lady...

When the nanny ran back to Lin's courtyard, she saw that her wife had fallen into a deep sleep due to exhaustion from taking care of the second young lady for days.

I couldn't bear to disturb you anymore.

Pei Chuyan said he stayed at Anguogong's house that night, but he did not sleep all night.

For some unknown reason, he suddenly began to frequently recall everything he had experienced in the Anguo Mansion.

I guess it was the death of his aunt that suddenly stimulated him!

He remembered the joyful looks on the faces of his grandparents as they gave him red envelopes in the main living room during the Chinese New Year.

He also remembered the angry look on his mother's face when he smashed the teacup with a slingshot while his father and mother were drinking tea in the yard during their rare leisure time.

But the last thing that came to his mind was the image of his mother committing suicide for his father.

This family eventually fell apart bit by bit.

Pei Chuyan suddenly felt cold all over and could only huddle in the quilt to get through the night.

The next morning, when he was about to return to the palace, Lin Ji came back.

As He Yuyao said, He Yunyao was indeed the mastermind behind the Lin Yin case. However, this matter was accidentally discovered by the Third Prince, who took the opportunity to capture Minister He.

Lin Ji didn't say the rest, but Pei Chuyan guessed it.

I think Minister He and the Minister of Personnel have already defected to the Third Prince.

Pei Chuyan suddenly remembered the Zhou he had met before, and ordered the secret guard: "Go check the wife of the Minister of Personnel, Zhou."

After giving these instructions, Pei Chuyan went to the palace.

For fear of upsetting Steward Lin, he deliberately did not inform Steward Lin this time. He only instructed the gatekeeper to remind Steward Lin that in the future, no one from the mansion who came to visit would be received unless he was there.

Pei Chuyan originally planned to find the prince to find out about the third prince's recent situation.

Unexpectedly, the court session ended late today and the prince has not returned to Xingyang Palace yet.

He had no choice but to go back to Qingyun Palace first.

However, when he got near Qingyun Palace, he happened to meet Jinxin who had just returned from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and was carrying a small stool and walking towards Qingyun Palace.

Pei Chuyan took it quickly upon seeing this: "Miss Jinxin, what is this?"

"Prince Pei is back!" Jin Xin heard him greet her and then saw him. She didn't hesitate and just let him take the stool away.

"There was a small stool in the palace that was broken, so I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to replace it with a new one." Jin Xin said as if it was a common practice.

Pei Chuyan was stunned for a moment.

Logically speaking, given the status of the Imperial Concubine in the palace, even if the chopsticks were broken, it should have been the Ministry of Internal Affairs that delivered them to her door. Why did Jinxin have to go there in person?

Because Song Qingyan was afraid of trouble, they always did these little things themselves.

"Did Prince Pei sleep well when he returned home yesterday?" Jin Xin asked with a smile.
