Chapter 288 Why is it you? Why are you here?

After everything was arranged, Xu Yanyi changed her clothes and left the house alone.

She probably never imagined that while she was looking around, Mu Nanzhou had already experienced a life-and-death experience and almost couldn't see her anymore. She also had no idea how much Mu Nanzhou had silently given for her behind her back.

Xu Yanyi was still focused on continuing to investigate the treason and did not notice that Mu Nanzhou was barely breathing and was obviously weak, but she was not paying attention.

"It's best to go early and come back quickly so that you can have dinner with the prince in the evening."

She knew nothing about it and was even thinking that she would be back soon and have a good dinner with Mu Nanzhou when she came back.

After leaving the Princess's Mansion, she got on the carriage and headed straight for Baoshizhai.

However, on the way there, Xu Yanyi felt more and more that something was not right.

"The prince was quite normal when he was doing Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, but why did he seem a little strange just now? Could it be that he was worried about something?"

Xu Yanyi finally realized that there was something strange about this, but she was at a loss of ideas, so she had no idea what had happened to the prince.

After finishing cooking, he was nowhere to be seen. When he came back, he looked a little unwell. What happened?

"Forget it, forget it. I won't think about it anymore. I'll just ask him about it when I get back. What if he's feeling a little tired because he's been busy lately? I can reward him when I get back."

She still didn't think about it carefully, because she couldn't figure it out clearly. She planned to go to see Master Yue and then ask Mu Nanzhou for clarification after she came back.

The carriage soon arrived outside the gate of Baoshizhai. She jumped off the carriage, walked straight over and knocked on the door, "Open the door!"

"Who is it?" The voice of Baoshizhai's housekeeper came from inside, and then the door was opened.

When the butler saw that the visitor was the eldest princess, he immediately bowed respectfully and said, "It turns out that it is the eldest princess who is here. What can I do for you?"

She often came here to visit Master Yue. The housekeepers and servants here had known her for a long time, so they didn't feel strange when they saw her. Instead, they greeted her very kindly.

Xu Yanyi smiled and said, "I'm here to look for Master Yue. Is he here?"

As she spoke, she poked her head over the butler to see if there was anyone inside.

The housekeeper was not ignorant and immediately invited the person in, "Princess, please come in and talk first."

Xu Yanyi followed the housekeeper into the house without hesitation, but then she heard the housekeeper sigh, "It's really unfortunate that the princess came. Our young master hasn't come back yet. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few more days if you want to find him."

"Hasn't come back yet?" She asked in a somewhat depressed tone, "Then do you know when he will come back, and where he went, and why hasn't he come back yet?"

This is such a big house, why hasn't he come back for so long? Is he never coming back?

"Princess, our young master has a business to do in the next few days, so he has gone on a business trip. I am afraid he will not be back for a while until the business is settled. What can I do for you? If it is urgent, I will let someone notify you after our young master comes back."

The housekeeper explained the reason respectfully and never neglected her from beginning to end, even treating her like his own mistress.

When Xu Yanyi heard that he had gone away, she immediately became anxious, "How is his health? Why is he still doing business when he is not in good health? Which is more important, life or money!"

She only knew that Master Yue's health had not been good, and he was not short of money. How big a business could be worth him making a personal trip and not coming back yet?

The butler smiled silently and said nothing in the end.

Since Master Yue was out, it was useless to blame him. She could only ask, "Since he was out, did he bring a doctor with him? What if he got sick on the way?"

"Princess, you may..." Just as the butler was about to answer, the door was opened again and a man walked in from outside.

Xu Yanyi turned around and saw that the person who came was Lan Yu who was beside the prince. She was a little surprised, "Why is it you? Why are you here?"

That's right, Lan Yu happened to come in and was bumped into by her. Even Lan Yu herself froze there, not knowing what to do for a moment.

The butler was also wiping his sweat, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"I'm asking you a question, why are you here?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Xu Yanyi asked again.

In fact, the first time she saw Lan Yu, she thought that it might be Mu Nanzhou who sent him to follow her, but she immediately ruled out this possibility.

After all, Mu Nanzhou is not that kind of person, and she doesn't hide when she goes out, she is very open and aboveboard!

Lan Yu really didn't expect the princess to come here. In fact, he wanted to turn around and leave just now, but Xu Yanyi's eyes were quite good and she saw him at a glance.

They even called him back, so that he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

After adjusting her expression, Lan Yu also walked over to say hello, "I didn't expect the princess to be here too. What a coincidence. I just happened to pass by here and came in to take a look. I didn't expect to run into an old acquaintance."

"You happened to be passing by? Do you know the owner of this place?"

It's no wonder Xu Yanyi was curious, because she had never heard that Master Yue and Lan Yu knew each other. She only knew that Lan Yu was the doctor of the prince.

Lan Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I do know the owner of this place, but he has been away from home recently, so I came here to help him clean the house and take care of it."

His mind raced, and he finally came up with this excuse.

Anyway, regardless of whether Xu Yanyi would believe it or not, he had at least managed to get away with this matter. He couldn't tell her that her husband was the owner of this place.

Then it's not certain what will happen to her.

Although he explained the matter seriously, Xu Yanyi always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

But deep down I always had a feeling that I didn't believe him. This statement was a bit too lame, and no one would believe it, right?

But what reason did Lan Yu have to lie to her? It really doesn't make sense. After all, Master Yue's family is wealthy and there are so many housekeepers and servants in the mansion. Anyone can clean and look after the house. Why would he be needed?

Moreover, the housekeeper is a meticulous person. He will definitely take care of Baoshizhai before Master Zaiyue comes back. Why should Lan Yu make another trip alone? This is obviously a contradiction.

At this time, Lan Yu and the butler exchanged glances, then quickly looked away, as if nothing had happened.
