Chapter 97 Goodbye Assassin
"Wait, why do you look unfamiliar?" The mother in charge called Zizhu.
Zizhu looked up, with a charming and seductive face. She said aggrievedly, "This servant girl shouldn't serve the master anymore. I was sent here because we were short of manpower today."
The housekeeper smiled sarcastically in her heart, oh, it must be because she looks like a foxy girl and they are afraid that she will seduce men, so she rarely serves in public.
He immediately stopped doubting and said with a straight face, "You will be waiting for the master in a while. Don't cause any trouble."
Zizhu said with a bitter face: "How dare I?"
The housekeeper snorted and let her go.
After entering the garden, Zizhu saw Cheng Nianying who was surrounded by people. As soon as she took a step, someone bumped into her.
It's another maid.
The maid smiled at her and said, "Go and take it to Princess Kang."
Then she went to the Princess of the County first.
Zizhu turned around and saw that everyone else was eager to show their courtesy to the princess. Zizhu choked in her throat, she didn't expect that everyone would have to fight for it.
He had no choice but to turn around and walk towards Princess Kang reluctantly.
Miss Xu Si from the owner of the manor is also worried about how to arrange the position of the princess.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this man and Princess Kang were not getting along well.
It was Qin Yurong who helped Cheng Nianying sit down next to the two people from the Qiu family. Qin Yurong hadn't seen her friends for a long time and wanted to hear them talk.
The girl from the Qiu family was naturally very happy: "Last time at Prince Kang's Mansion, I saw you only talking to the one from the Wei family, and you didn't pay much attention to us."
Miss Xu Si also breathed a sigh of relief.
But the Crown Prince's wife was a little embarrassed, thinking that she didn't need her care anymore, so she might as well go back to Princess Kang.
"Princess, please try the seasonal food on the farm first." Fourth Miss Xu stepped aside to let the maid pass.
Cheng Nianying picked up a piece of cheese and tasted it.
"how?"
She couldn't taste it and said, "Very good. Let's all sit down and talk."
Fourth Miss Xu responded and then returned to her seat. She then picked up the arrows at hand, which were used for pitching pots. However, the shapes were different, and the ones for the Princess would naturally be the best.
Cheng Nianying knew what Qin Yurong was thinking. After everyone around her had left, she asked, "Where's Zhou Yunfu?"
The Qiu family girl and the Song family girl exchanged a glance and said, "Some time ago, she said she had become friends with Princess Zhaoning. Then, when the news of the Crown Prince's death came, she became ill."
"I don't know what's going on." They said lightly.
Qin Yurong wanted to speak, but Cheng Nianying held her hand. Cheng Nianying then asked, "Don't you know the reason?"
"What? Yurong, what did you say?"
"You first said that you had a friendship with Princess Zhaoning, and then you said that news of the prince's death had arrived. ... Aren't you sure that this was the cause of her illness? Otherwise, why would you bring up these two things first? I just asked about Zhou Yunfu." Cheng Nianying wondered.
Was it because the "older sister" in the past was too easy to fool? Could she use such words to play dumb?
The girl from the Qiu family choked.
The Song family girl sighed and said, "After all, it's her personal matter..."
Cheng Nianying tilted her head: "If it's a private matter, you shouldn't have mentioned it this morning."
“…”
"Tell me what the prince's death has to do with her illness."
This is a tone Qin Yurong would never use.
Qin Yurong was surprised by the coldness in the tone, but Qiu and Song did not doubt the authenticity of the man.
The Song family girl hesitated and spoke again: "She said...she said that Princess Zhaoning originally wanted the Crown Prince to take her as a concubine. At that time, she was quite proud of it at home. She also said..."
"say what?"
"Why should you be the only one who can climb high, and she should climb higher than you?"
Qin Yurong was stunned.
I never thought that my best friend would say such words.
"Now that the prince is gone, he must be ill." The girl from the Song family lowered her voice.
"You idiot!" A scolding suddenly broke out from the other side.
Everyone turned to look.
Then Princess Kang stood up, shaking her skirt.
"What's wrong?" Those who were far away couldn't see clearly, so they asked each other hurriedly.
"It seems the maid accidentally spilled the tea."
Princess Kang stood up with a stern face and was about to leave. Fourth Miss Xu hurried over to persuade her and kicked her: "You slave! Why are you so stupid? Get out of here right now."
The maid fell to the ground on her side.
Cheng Nianying recognized it at a glance.
Li Jinjiang’s mistress...is called Zizhu.
She is the killer in the building! How could she be in Yujing?
Cheng Nianying licked her lips. Another one coming to kill the Princess?
She immediately lost interest in talking to Qiu and Song and stood up to walk over there. Qin Yurong quickly followed her, "What's wrong?"
"That man...is suspected to be an assassin."
"How do you know?" Qin Yurong was surprised.
Cheng Nianying didn't respond.
She walked closer and asked, "What's going on?"
Princess Kang was being comforted by everyone, but when she saw her coming, she felt suffocated again. So many people were praising her daughter-in-law, but even a maid was against her!
Princess Kang said coldly, "I think today is just bad luck. Let's go back to the palace!"
"Princess, don't be angry. Change your clothes first." Miss Xu Si advised repeatedly.
Zizhu had achieved her goal, and she kowtowed and covered her sleeves, saying, "Please spare my life, master."
Cheng Nianying noticed this detail and stopped before she got any closer. ...This person is good at using hidden weapons, so he can't get close.
"Tie her up." Cheng Nianying interrupted.
This sound stunned everyone.
Even Princess Kang didn't react.
"What are you standing there for?" Cheng Nianying asked softly.
For a moment, Fourth Miss Xu felt as if she saw the soft-spoken but extremely intimidating Prince Danshuo.
She didn't dare to object and immediately said, "Tie her up!"
Zizhu was also stunned. It was impossible. How could the princess be so alert?
At this time, Princess Kang snorted coldly, "Alright, alright, it seems that I am so narrow-minded that I want to capture this maid and beat her to death."
Cheng Nianying: "..."
Fourth Miss Xu stood there with her hands tied, feeling very embarrassed. Should she tie them up or not?
Cheng Nianying said in relief: "Let her go get new clothes."
Fourth Miss Xu: "Let her go?"
"Well, she has to make up for the mistakes she made herself."
"Princess Kang and Princess Jun are so kind that they've spared you this time. Why don't you go quickly?" Fourth Miss Xu urged.
Seeing that Cheng Nianying was not coming any closer, Zizhu had no choice but to get up and walk out.
Cheng Nianying waited for her to leave for a while before she went out.
Fourth Miss Xu asked, "Where are you going, Princess?"
Cheng Nianying is never the kind of person who sits and waits for death, so she takes the initiative to end the danger.
She said, "I'm so bored, I'm going to go out for a walk."
"Then I..."
"No need to follow."
"good."
Sure enough, her words are very effective now, and they don’t dare to offend her.
Cheng Nianying blinked slowly and walked out with Qin Yurong, while Mother Zou was left behind.
After walking out of the garden, Cheng Nianying asked the servants where the maid had gone.
The servant immediately pointed in the direction.
"Thank you." Cheng Nianying said and went over there.
The servant was flattered. How could he dare ask his master to thank him? He thought the princess was still angry and wanted to make trouble for the maid. Now it seems that she doesn't want to make things difficult for the servant.
Cheng Nianying took Qin Yurong on the road.
Qin Yurong couldn't help but ask anxiously, "She's gone, how could she chase the assassin?"
Cheng Nianying didn't say anything, just led her forward.
When Zizhu's figure finally came into view, Cheng Nianying said, "Wait for me here."
"Are you afraid I'm in danger? But it's even more dangerous for you to go alone! Why not call the guards from the Prince's Mansion?"
"I was afraid she might hear your footsteps and startle her."
"?"
Cheng Nianying didn't explain any more. She moved lightly and slowly approached.
She is more like the assassin.
Qin Yurong was stunned, watching Cheng Nianying leap up like a cat and hit—
Zizhu only felt a huge force, and then her whole body was pushed against the wall. Then her wrist hurt, as if a cramp was pulled, and she could no longer muster any strength.
The familiar feeling of being strangled followed.
Zizhu was horrified: "You...you!"
That smell!
"You traitor!"
Cheng Nianying lowered her voice and whispered in her ear, "How do you know I'm a traitor? If a traitor breaks your neck now, no one will know."
Zizhu suddenly stopped talking.
"Who's there?" King Liang saw this side from afar and shouted.
