Chapter 18 Scared
In order not to attract too much attention, Mother Zou waited two days before she mentioned her intention to return home in front of Nanny Shi and others.
The excuse was a bit lame, but at least it connected with the previous two days.
Mother Zou kept saying, "The Princess of the County is concerned about the health of the County Prince. She suddenly remembered that there was a recipe passed down from our ancestors in the old mansion. It is an excellent health-preserving recipe. I thought I might as well go back and get the recipe."
The servants in the mansion cannot leave the house at will.
All must be reported to the manager for approval.
The steward of the Prince's Mansion is in charge of all matters in the front yard, while the affairs of the back yard are mostly managed jointly by Mu He and Nanny Shi.
After hearing this, Nanny Shi naturally nodded in agreement.
Mu He asked, "Why not send a letter and ask the Marquis' Mansion to deliver it?"
Mother Zou looked up at her and vaguely concluded that this person might be dissatisfied with the Princess.
Slaves who have served their male masters for a long time will develop thoughts that they shouldn't have... Mother Zou has seen this a lot.
Mother Zou snorted inwardly, but said politely on the surface: "I'm also thinking of sending some gifts to the Marquis' wife on behalf of the Princess, as a show of filial piety."
She thought to herself that in the future, no matter whether it was true or not, she must help the princess seize the right to be the housekeeper!
"Go ahead. The Princess has many servants around her, so there's no need to worry about you being missing out." Nanny Shi reiterated.
Hearing this, Mother Zou became even more motivated.
You have to come back soon!
Otherwise, this old woman from the Prince's Mansion will take her place!
Mu He finally said, "It's not in my power to stop the Princess from doing this. Madam Zou, please go on this trip."
Mother Zou wondered if this wasn't a deliberate attempt to make fun of Qiao. In the end, she finally relented. She had to keep a close eye on this guy for the Princess! He's got so many tricks up his sleeve!

When Mother Zou left.
Cheng Nianying no longer had any needlework to learn, but luckily she had a cat, so she started playing with it every day.
The palace maids were all shocked when they saw this and told Mu He about it privately.
"Why does she look like someone without any ambition?"
Mu He turned around and said accusingly, "Are you talking about the master again?"
She has been in a good mood these past two days.
Because the master finally didn't go to Youhuangyuan much.
"Sister Muhe, Sister Muhe." A young palace maid ran in, wrinkling her nose and saying, "Someone said they always smell a strange odor."
"What did the maid who was in charge of cleaning say?"
"They said it was clean, but I really don't know where the smell came from. Someone said privately..."
"say what?"
"They said someone might have had an affair with someone from another court, got pregnant, and buried the baby in the garden, which is why there's this strange smell."
"Nonsense! I'll go and take a look!" Mu He frowned.
No longer worried about the Princess, Mu He resumed her demeanor as a palace lady.
Until half an hour later.
A scream pierced the sky above the Prince's Mansion.
Wu Xun hurried to Fu Yi.
"The servant's body was found by someone in the mansion!"
"The lover of this girl from the Marquis' Mansion is quite ruthless. He killed her after delivering the message." Wu Xun frowned and shook his head.
They had known for a long time that there was something wrong with the boy and had been keeping an eye on him.
He also deliberately allowed the servant to deliver the message.
Just wait and see to catch the big fish.
Who knew that after meeting with the Princess that day, he would disappear...
Fu Yi's expression was indifferent: "It's a bit strange. Even if the attack was ruthless, there is no reason to cut off one's own arm."
"How could he die out of nowhere? The way he died... it was really..." Wu Xun wanted to vomit, "He was fished out of the abandoned well in the Diyue Pavilion, and he was already floating in a bladder."
Fu Yi: "He died in Diyue Pavilion."
"You...you don't mean that the Marquis' daughter killed him? Impossible! Absolutely not!"
"She was cutting bamboo that day." Fu Yi reminded lightly.
"Yes, that knife move was a bit strange. But, but the way she held the knife didn't look like a martial artist!"
"What if you're trying to pretend?"
Wu Xun shuddered: "That...that's a bit too scary."
Fu Yi's face showed no extra emotion. He looked up and sighed softly, "It's getting even more interesting."
Wu Xun thought about it again and again, and finally said firmly: "But why kill him? Are you afraid that you will find out that she is having an affair with someone else? I feel that many of the logics in this are unreasonable."
Fu Yi was calm and collected: "Why rush? Just keep reading."
…
The news that a servant had died in Diyue Pavilion soon reached Cheng Nianying.
One of the women patted her chest and said, "It was horrible. Miss Muhe fainted from fright on the spot."
The little palace maid complained: "Let's just say it's haunted."
Nanny Shi's face darkened. "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the master? Get out!"
After scolding the person away.
Madam Shi quickly turned around to comfort Cheng Nianying: "Don't be afraid, I will sleep next to your feet at night. If you need to get up at night, just call me..."
Cheng Nianying looked at her.
Aunt Shi is not young anymore, and the wrinkles around her eyes are deep.
Cheng Nianying wanted to say, "I'm not afraid."
But when the old woman in front said this, even Mu He fainted from fright.
Any decent girl should be afraid of such things, right?
Cheng Nianying thought about it and said: "I'll go find the prince." It would also be a good opportunity to clear my suspicion.
Which murderer sends himself up?
Nanny Shi was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay."
When Cheng Nianying went over to look for him, Fu Yi was not there.
The guard said, "The master has gone to visit Miss Muhe."
When Nanny Shi heard the voice, she glanced at Cheng Nianying's face without thinking.
Cheng Nianying's face showed no unusual expression. She readily said, "Then let's go see Miss Muhe."
Aunt Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah!"
The first half of Schima superba's life was relatively smooth.
She was selected into the palace as a concubine and almost became a poor one among the old emperor's concubines. But when the old emperor saw her once, he praised her beauty and intelligence and appointed her as a female official.
Afterwards, Fu Yi was granted the title of Prince of Danshuo and frequently went to the palace to meet the emperor. The old emperor then waved his hand and asked Mu He to lead a group of palace servants to the Prince's Mansion to manage affairs.
She had status and was favored by the prince. The palace maids were careful to flatter her, and the other servants in the prince's mansion did not dare to offend her.
But what is beautiful and intelligent.
What status is important.
She saw a corpse today and was so frightened that she lost her soul and became totally out of control.
Not only was she frightened, she was frightened sick.
"Sister Muhe, the prince is here..." The little palace maid shook her anxiously.
Mu He opened her eyes, her face was pale and her cheeks were flushed.
The moment she saw Fu Yi, she finally couldn't help but shed tears: "Master..."
The little palace maid stood aside and thought secretly, Sister Muhe has always been tough, but she showed her weak side today. Even a man with a heart of stone should be softer!
Just at this moment.
Someone reported: "The princess is here."

The other side.
Within the high walls.
The man was rarely so gloomy. He asked the person in front of him, "You said that you haven't sent any letters since that day?"
“Yes… yes.”
"What on earth is this Qin Yurong up to?"
"Could it be that he was captured by Prince Danshuo?"
The man was silent for a moment: "No rush, she will be invited out of the house another day."
He said he was not in a hurry, but every word seemed to burst out from between his teeth.
