She looked at the eldest princess, whose face was already contorted with rage: "Your Highness, this..."
The princess immediately glared at the old woman, who shrank back and dared not say another word.
"What's impossible?" Su Wanyan calmly walked forward, looking curious. "What are you all doing here? Are you all here to rest?"
The eldest princess clenched her fist hidden in her sleeve, suppressing her anger, and asked with a smile, "Weren't you resting inside? Why are you outside?"
"The Princess's residence has beautiful mountains, clear waters, and lovely flowers. I like it, so is it not allowed for me to come out for a stroll?"
Su Wanyan asked, "I just heard you talking about stealing someone? Who stole someone? Was someone stealing someone in my room? Or is someone trying to frame me for this?"
At this point, her brows suddenly furrowed: "If that's really the case, this matter absolutely cannot be left unresolved!"
After saying that, she stepped past the princess and went to open the door.
The old woman was startled and quickly blocked Su Wanyan's way: "Since Princess Gong is here, then this old servant must have seen wrong. Perhaps it is...someone else."
"Who else?" Su Wanyan sneered, "This is the room the Princess arranged for me. What do you have to hide?"
The princess's anger had already reached the top of her head.
Why is Su Wanyan here?
She should be in her room right now, locked in a passionate encounter with her lover!
It was her carelessness after all. If she had known this would happen, she should have drugged Su Wanyan!
I thought she was a weak woman, and no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't defeat her man. What a waste!
The eldest princess narrowed her eyes. She had no idea that the defenses of her eldest princess's residence were so weak that anyone could sneak in!
"Princess Consort Gong," the Eldest Princess slowly turned around and looked at Su Wanyan, "This is ultimately a matter within my household. Isn't it inappropriate for Princess Consort Gong to interfere?"
"So I'll just let them pin these dirty deeds on me?" Su Wanyan said coldly, "Does the Princess also want to protect those who harmed me?"
If this weren't her room, she wouldn't have anything to say.
But this was the room arranged by the eldest princess. Once inside, there was a male concubine. It was obvious to everyone what the eldest princess wanted to do.
To catch someone in the act of adultery, you need to catch them in the act so they have no way to deny it. But if you can't catch them, that's a different story.
The princess lowered her gaze and looked at Su Wanyan with hostility, but after a moment, she looked away and beckoned to the guards in the courtyard.
The guard immediately stepped forward and bowed: "Your Highness?"
Then, the eldest princess looked at the nanny who had led the way and beckoned with her finger as well.
The old woman's legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground with a thud, trembling all over, tears streaming down her face: "Your...Your Highness..."
The words of pleading were already at his throat, but he couldn't utter a single one.
The princess's eyes hardened slightly, and the old woman dared not struggle any longer. Trembling, she crawled to her knees at the princess's feet, pleading, "Your Highness...please spare my family..."
The eldest princess ignored her words, and it was unclear whether she had taken them to heart or not.
She drew the curved knife from the guard's waist, grabbed the old woman's head, and slowly slashed the blade into the old woman's neck. Instantly, like a cow or sheep at the slaughter, blood gushed out.
"Ah—" The group of young ladies behind them had never seen such a scene before, and they were so frightened that they retreated one after another, their faces turning pale.
Even Su Wanyan stared in disbelief.
As the eldest princess made her move, her eyes were fixed on Su Wanyan, as if to say, "Are you satisfied now?"
Blood stained the blade, and the old woman's eyes were filled with unspeakable terror. After a moment, her trembling lips stopped trembling, her body swayed, and she collapsed to the ground, convulsing.
The eldest princess smiled and handed the curved sword to the guard, tilting her head to look at Su Wanyan: "In that case, Princess Gong, are you still not willing to let this go?"
"..." Su Wanyan composed herself: "The Princess is decisive and has a demeanor that is beyond the reach of ordinary people. She truly lives up to the name of the Princess of the Great Jin Dynasty."
She truly admired her.
The troublemaking nanny was killed, and the matter was put to rest at the cost of a life. Moreover, the method used was extremely oppressive and intimidating. The incident occurred within the Princess's residence, so it would be difficult for anyone to continue the investigation.
Among the group of young ladies following behind, some had already fainted from fright.
Su Wanyan lowered her eyes slightly: "I was also at fault in this matter, which made the Eldest Princess have to take action herself. To express my apology, I have a gift to give to the Eldest Princess."
The eldest princess was still angry. Now that she heard that Su Wanyan had a gift to give her, she thought that Su Wanyan was going to use some kind of trick. She laughed coldly and said, "Well, I am very curious about what Princess Gong can give me."
"The gift is inside the carriage in the Prince's mansion. The Princess can send someone to fetch it. Besides, the gift is valuable, and there are too many people around here."
The princess glanced at the terrified young ladies, her eyes filled with contempt. "It's just one dead person, a bunch of useless trash."
With a flick of her sleeve and an arrogant expression, she left first.
Once outside the courtyard, the Eldest Princess coldly and fiercely ordered, "Keep an eye on Su Wanyan! Do not allow her to leave the Eldest Princess's residence even for a moment! Immediately send people to search the mansion. If anyone from Prince Gong's residence has infiltrated, arrest him, regardless of whether he lives or dies!"
She refused to believe she couldn't hurt that bitch in the slightest!
"Yes," the old woman beside her replied hastily.
As soon as the princess left, servants came to clean up the body.
The young ladies were so frightened that they left in twos and threes.
In the end, it was Su Wanyan who left last.
More people are now monitoring Su Wanyan.
As Su Wanyan walked through the garden of the Princess's residence, even the maids pruning the branches would occasionally glance at her, and there was a servant every few steps in the mansion who was cleaning.
Does the eldest princess not intend to let her leave?
Staying any longer might really be detrimental to her.
Su Wanyan walked up to a sweeping maid and asked, "I need to use the restroom. Where is the outhouse?"
"Your Highness, please follow me." The maidservant naturally led the way for Su Wanyan.
Once they reached a secluded spot, Su Wanyan picked up a silver needle and swiftly stabbed it into the maid's neck. The maid's body went limp, and she collapsed without warning.
She quickly changed into the maid's clothes, then took down her neatly styled hair and awkwardly tied it into two small buns.
She wiped her hands on the ground and smeared some ash on her face.
Without a mirror, I don't know how well I'm disguised, but after changing my clothes and hairstyle, I shouldn't have any problems unless you look closely.
At this moment, Mingyu leaped down from the roof: "Your Majesty, the number of guards has doubled."
If we don't leave now, it might be too late.
Even now, he cannot leave quietly with Su Wanyan.
"Go and set a fire."
