"This servant is the Crown Prince's person." The maid nodded and gave a slight bow, which was impeccable.
This composure and restraint.
Xie Lingqin frowned. "What is the Crown Prince's main purpose in sending you here?"
"The Crown Prince said that I should follow and protect you well, Miss. If there is any fire, loss of life, or theft in the future, I can also protect you."
Xie Lingqin frowned upon hearing this.
Whom is the prince referring to?
You even know that she deliberately set that fire? Was she trying to tease her?
However, if the Crown Prince sends someone to her side, won't she be under surveillance from now on?
"The Crown Prince also said that a servant should not serve two masters. Now that I have come to Miss's side, I will definitely be Miss's person from now on, and I cannot betray my master."
Xie Lingqin's lips twitched slightly. This Crown Prince had indeed calculated her thoughts very accurately.
As expected, they are not easy to deal with.
But this maid, so meek and obedient, and so knowledgeable and courteous, suited her just fine. Besides, without Tinglan, and being new to the General's Mansion, she knew that even the most cautious person couldn't always avoid making a mistake...
"May I have your name?"
"Miss, this servant is Zihe."
"Okay, I'll take you. Go and make a pot of chicken soup right away, I need a lot of nourishment."
Zihe adapted quickly, "Okay."
Xie Lingqin was even more satisfied with this maid. She was poised, reserved, and kept her emotions hidden, truly a woman of quiet grace.
...
The second concubine looked at Liu Mama, who had just answered, and her expression froze. "She only took in two maids from outside?"
"Yes, madam."
As Liu Mama replied, she ultimately didn't mention that she had been stunned by Xie Lingqin's gaze earlier.
Because she felt that she must have been mistaken.
The second concubine was lying half-side up on the Drunken Concubine's couch, picking at her perfectly manicured nails. Something flashed in her eyes. After a moment, she waved her hand and said, "Two it is."
Although I didn't manage to leave anyone in Qingfeng Pavilion to keep watch as I had hoped, perhaps soon I won't need to anymore.
...
Qingfeng Pavilion.
I had just finished a bowl of chicken soup when I heard a commotion outside the courtyard.
Xie Lingqin looked up and stood up; the door was already open.
Zihe walked in.
"What happened?"
"It was Second Aunt. She said she found evidence that Tinglan was having an affair."
