Upon hearing this, Qiudie and Dongxue looked at each other, then looked around. Seeing that there was no one else around, they knelt on the ground again.
Seeing this, Jiang Ranli felt helpless. Was she really that scary? Was she really telling a lie?
"Concubine, I am the Fourth Master's person."
Just as Jiang Ranli was sighing helplessly, Qiu Die's words almost scared her to death.
The Fourth Master's people? The Fourth Prince's people?
Jiang Ranli's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Concubine, when the Fourth Master heard that the Ninth Master was going to assign you maids, servants, and old women, he arranged for several servants to be by your side overnight. So, Concubine, please rest assured, we servants are willing to serve you wholeheartedly."
Seeing that Jiang Ranli didn't believe it, Dongxue also spoke.
This time, Jiang Ranli was even more shocked. She had always known that there were people belonging to the Fourth Prince in the Ninth Prince's mansion, but she never expected that the Fourth Prince would send his people to her.
Well, the Fourth Prince must trust me very much and want to help me leave the Ninth Prince’s Mansion as soon as possible, so he did this.
Apart from this reason, Jiang Ranli couldn't think of any other reason.
"Besides you, who else is the Fourth Master's man?"
"To answer the concubine, besides the two of us, there are also Wen Chong and Mrs. Zhang," Dongxue said.
Jiang Ranli didn't know what words to use to describe her surprise. The Ninth Prince had assigned her a total of six people, and it turned out that four of them were the Fourth Prince's men.
How many of the Fourth Prince’s spies are there in this mansion?
Jiang Ranli looked around, and the passing maids, servants, eunuchs, etc. came into her sight. She suddenly felt terrified.
She thought that the fight for the throne among the princes had not yet reached a fever pitch, but looking at the spies that the brothers had planted in each other's houses, the struggle for the throne had probably already begun.
It feels so bad to live under the surveillance of others every day.
"Let's go back."
Jiang Ranli's mood suddenly became a little depressed. Although she knew that Qiu Die, Dong Xue, Wen Chong and Zhang Pozi were all the Fourth Prince's people, which meant that she could go out through the secret door whenever she wanted, she felt uncomfortable when she thought that there were many spies planted by others in this mansion.
Perhaps it was because he felt that the struggle for imperial power was cruel, or perhaps it was because he felt that the struggle in the backyard was full of intrigue and difficult to guard against.
After returning to the courtyard, Jiang Ranli told Sixian and Sidai about Qiudie, Dongxue, Wenchong and Zhang Pozi, and asked them to arrange their work properly. Then he curled up on the couch and stared blankly.
Inside a Beijing snack shop.
Yinlang waited for a whole day but there was no sign of Jiang Ranli, and his handsome eyebrows were twisted into a "川" shape.
"Master Jiu, the shop is about to close," Uncle Wang said as he walked up to Yinzhen.
Hearing the voice, Yinzhen looked at him, "Where has Li'er been these two days? Did something happen? Why can't I find her after waiting for two days?"
"To answer Master Jiu, the young lady has just been resting at home these two days and nothing has happened," Uncle Wang replied.
After hearing this, Yin'er frowned even deeper. He had been asking for two days, and every time, Uncle Wang gave the same answer. But if Jiang Ranli was fine, with her restless nature, how could she not go out for two days? Unless...
Thinking of the word "unless", a possibility immediately emerged in Yin'er's mind. Jiang Ranli hadn't seen him for two days, maybe because she didn't like him and wanted to avoid him.
"Tell me the truth, what happened to Li'er?"
