When she came to the backyard, she didn't expect that Liu Hanwen had already occupied the lotus pond before her. She walked up to him dissatisfiedly and said, "You are a treasured person by Lord Tang's side, but you are drinking and chatting here every day. Are you worthy of Lord Tang's cultivation and trust in you?"

Liu Hanwen heard a sarcastic voice behind him and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Nothing big has happened recently. This government office is just a decoration. Whether there is anything going on depends entirely on Lord Tang's orders. If nothing happens, I can enjoy my leisure time here with peace of mind."

"That makes sense." Gu Yunru sat next to Liu Hanwen. She didn't know why she felt much more comfortable chatting with him about random things.

"How come he was kicked out by the prince again?" This time it was Liu Hanwen who came to mock her. Gu Yunru couldn't help rolling her eyes and said, "I didn't go in and let him calm down alone. Bad luck on my elixir!" After that, Gu Yunru hurried to the backyard, and Liu Hanwen followed closely.

Looking at the two maids beside her, Gu Yunru angrily asked, "My medicine is clearly in this jar, who took it away?"

"I don't know if anyone has ever been here..."

"You still say you don't know, but I think you are the ones who are stealing!" Someone was originally asked to take good care of the alchemy furnace. This alchemy furnace was hard to come by, expensive, and very complicated to make. In addition, so many precious medicinal materials were gathered together in order to refine an antidote, but unexpectedly, the pill disappeared.

If it weren't for the way these two guys stuck to, Gu Yunru really couldn't think of any other possibilities!

Liu Hanwen looked at the innocent faces of the two maids, and tears welled up in his eyes as he was frightened by Gu Yunru. He thought that this matter must have nothing to do with them.

"Princess, go ask around first to see if there are any sneaky people coming to the back kitchen. They should be unaware of this." The two maids rolled their eyes, "I remember, I saw Miss Ruyan coming here just now, but I only saw her back and then she disappeared.

Yue'er and I were standing here fine, but for some reason we felt a stomachache, so we took turns going to the toilet..."

Gu Yunru listened to their words and raised her eyebrows, "Take turns?"

Faced with the question, the two maids knelt down in front of her and said, "Princess, please spare us. I don't know why, maybe we ate something wrong last night, but we both have stomachaches, so we have to go together..."

"There must be something fishy going on. What did you eat yesterday?!"

Gu Yunru asked, and the two thought about it. It was nothing more than some leftover food in the kitchen last night, but why did only the two of them get stomach upset after eating it, while the others were fine?

I'm afraid there must be someone... Thinking of this, Gu Yunru came to Ruyan's door. Liu Hanwen also followed her. Several maids had been guarding and were lazy and fell asleep. Gu Yunru scolded them and they were scared out of their wits.

Gu Yunru walked over and found Ruyan still lying on the bed. Gu Yunru walked up to her and took her pulse. She was indeed still asleep and in a state of shock. It would probably take several hours for her to wake up. The elixir in the alchemy furnace could not have been taken by her. Turning around, he found that one of the servants on duty seemed to be missing.

"Aren't there six people in total? Why are there only five? Where is the other one?" Gu Yunru saw the panicked faces of the crowd. These guys are quite lazy. She would settle the score with them later. The most important thing now is to ask where the maid has gone.

Everyone looked at each other. A girl with a short head stood up and said, "It's the new Lian'er, but Lian'er just said she had a stomachache and went to rest. There are only five of us left here to take turns to watch over her."

"Lian'er, can you take me to see where Lian'er is?" After saying that, he asked the girl to lead the way to the public housing where the maids lived.

I opened the door and there was nothing.

"Where is Lian'er?" Gu Yunru raised her eyebrows. The new Lian'er seemed to be moving very strangely. The girl called her a few times, but no one responded.

"Strange, Lian'er came here two days ago, saying that her family was poor, so she asked Mama Liu to take her in. She rested, ate and lived with us sisters in the public housing, and seemed quite well-behaved. How could she..."

The other maids looked at each other, and suddenly one of them screamed, "Could it be Miss Tang's ghost that possessed me?" The girl's shouting made everyone else panic, and even Gu Yunru's back was wet. Liu Hanwen scolded her in dissatisfaction, "How dare you! Didn't the master tell you? Anyone who says this in the yard will have their tongue cut off!"

When Gu Yunru heard this, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. Seeing Liu Hanwen's fierce appearance, she was able to intimidate these girls. These girls had made up some things about Liu Hanwen behind his back. She had also heard about it occasionally. She left the public housing with Liu Hanwen and said to Liu Hanwen beside her: "Lan Pei's death should have been arranged by Master Tang. Lan Pei was not thrown into the well, but strangled to death..."

Liu Hanwen couldn't help but think of that morning, when Gu Yunru asked Lan Pei a few questions and returned the silver. Tang Ye happened to see this, so he immediately sent someone to kill Lan Pei and pushed the blame on the female ghost...

"Princess, you don't know that this has always been a taboo in the Tang Mansion. If any servant gossips, the master will not let them go. Those servants who gossip will be expelled from the Tang Mansion one by one."

"It seems that you also know about this matter. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Gu Yunru slowly stopped and stared at Liu Hanwen in front of him with an unsatisfied look. Liu Hanwen had just come to the mansion, but he knew a lot in just a few days. Unexpectedly, he became Tang Ye's confidant so quickly. Who knew how much he knew.

"There are some things that Princess, you'd better not ask about. The more you know, the more disadvantageous it will be for you. There's nothing to say." Liu Hanwen said with a smile, then left with a relaxed look on his sleeves.

"Liu Hanwen!" Gu Yunru stood where he was, silently reciting these three words.

After Dujuan pretended to be Lian'er and stole the pill, she immediately came to Han Suche and took out the pill. Han Suche's eyes suddenly lit up, and he swallowed the pill without saying a word. He then trained his internal energy and finally felt relaxed all over, forcing the Gu out.
