"But after rescuing the Second Princess, I felt something was amiss. After some thought, I decided I should tell my Consort."
"Then Princess Song can see whether the other person is a man or a woman." Wen Mianmian asked anxiously.
"It should be a woman. I saw a corner of her pink dress, but because of the distance and it was just a quick glance, I don't know if I was seeing things."
"I said this to remind Consort Fujin that what happened to the Second Princess was definitely not an accident."
Wen Mianmian didn't expect her to say that.
"Thank you for telling me this. I'll consider it as a favor I owe you."
Wen Mianmian also doesn't like to owe others. If Song Gege needs anything in the future, she can help her, but she doesn't want to become friends with her.
Sorry, she can't do that.
Putting aside whether Princess Song sincerely saved Tiantian and what purpose she wanted to achieve by doing so, the fact that she was the Fourth Master's princess made it impossible for Wen Mianmian to be on good terms with her.
Besides, Princess Song has a lot on her mind, and she doesn't want to get too involved with her.
"Then I would like to thank the concubine." Song knew when to stop, as she had no grudge against Wen Mianmian.
He saved the Second Princess because when he saw her he thought of his own daughter, and he had no other thoughts.
The current concubine owes her a favor, which she thinks is pretty good.
"In fact, Concubine Fu Jin's hostility towards me doesn't need to be so great. I have long since let it go. The master now only has you in his eyes and heart."
"So I no longer expect the Master's favor. I just hope that my life in the mansion will be easier in the future."
Song sat with Wen Mianmian for a long time and talked a lot to her.
Wen Mianmian felt mixed emotions after hearing this.
After Song left, Wen Mianmian was still lost in thought.
"Mianmian~" Xiaobai couldn't help but shout when he saw Mianmian was distracted.
Wen Mianmian came back to her senses and looked down at it, "What's wrong?"
"You're the one who's in trouble. Everyone's gone, why are you just standing there in a daze?"
"I'm fine~"
Just as Fu Jin had finished her breakfast, she heard Nanny Chang say that a fence was being built around the Lotus Pond.
While drinking bird's nest, she said nonchalantly, "This master really cares about the Wen family's children."
"It was just a fall into the water, and the fence was already installed."
"It's a pity."
There were only Matron Li and Matron Chang serving the Lady in here. When they heard what the Lady said, the two matrons didn't say anything.
"Even if you put it on, it doesn't matter. Children get more naughty as they grow older. Even if you put it on, accidents are bound to happen anyway."
Nanny Chang scooped another bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Fu Jin.
Fu Jin put down the bird's nest she had just eaten.
"That's right, but why was it the Second Princess who fell in? It would have been much better if it was the Young Prince. However, Wen's child was just like her. They fell into the water but were still rescued. They are truly blessed with great fortune."
Fu Jin took the soup and started drinking it again.
"I heard that it was Princess Song who passed by the lotus pond and saved her. If it weren't for Princess Song, maybe the Second Princess would be..."
Nanny Li didn't say the rest of the words, but anyone with a discerning eye knew what she meant.
"Song usually looks like a peaceful and harmless person, but I didn't expect her to do such a thing." Fu Jin sneered.
At the same time, I also felt a little resentful towards Song. Why did she interfere when everything was fine?
Although she didn't do it this time, she knew about it and even covered up for that person.
She was quite shocked when she first found out, but after thinking it through, she was no longer so shocked.
Now the master only has Wen in his eyes, and the others haven't even seen the shadow of the Fourth Master. It would be strange if he is not anxious.
To her pity, it was not the two little princes who ran out and fell, but the second princess. All her efforts were in vain.
Fortunately, everything has been handled and she didn't do anything. Even if the master wanted to investigate, he couldn't find out about her.
"Could it be that Princess Song is doing this because she wants to seek refuge with Concubine Wen?" Nanny Li guessed.
"Oh, even if she wants to curry favor with the Wen family, the Wen family will never let her get close to them."
When Wen first came into favor, she didn't like to interact with other people.
Now she has everything she needs. She has a child and the love of her master. How could Wen Mianmian still need anyone else?
"The person who just brought breakfast said that he saw Princess Song going to Zizhu Courtyard." Nanny Li told what she had heard about breakfast.
She had forgotten about it just now, and only remembered it when Song Gege was mentioned.
"What is she doing in Zizhuyuan?" Fu Jin paused for a moment when she heard this, then continued to drink her soup.
"Fujin, don't you think Princess Song saw something at that time, and went to tell Fujin Wen this time?" Nanny Chang was a little worried.
"So what if he saw it? It has nothing to do with us." Fu Jin was not worried at all.
He continued to drink his soup.
At most, she just added fuel to the fire in this matter. The second princess falling into the water had nothing to do with her.
After hearing what the concubine said, the two maids felt relieved.
Fortunately, everything they did has been cleaned up and no clues were revealed.
"Then Madam, do you want to remind that person?" said Nanny Li.
"No need to remind her. She doesn't know we discovered what she did. We can just pretend we don't know about it."
"Fujin is still thoughtful."
"Wait and see if the eldest prince is awake. If he is, have him have breakfast and come over."
"Fujin, it's still early, why don't you let the eldest prince sleep a little longer?"
"Is it still early? The master has to go to the palace before dawn every day. The eldest prince is doing very well now."
"If I don't keep an eye on him and think about him, I'll be hurting him in the future."
Fu Jin put down the bowl and snorted coldly.
The two maids dared not speak when they heard what the concubine said.
Although the master had scolded Fu Jin before, Fu Jin still asked the eldest prince to get up and study every day. However, compared with before when she had to study for most of the day, Fu Jin has restrained herself a lot now.
The eldest prince was only allowed to study for an hour and a half every day.
But the eldest prince was sick some time ago, and it hasn’t been long since he recovered. Now he’s sick again. I don’t know if his body can handle it.
"Yes, then I will go to see the eldest prince later." Nanny Li said quickly.
"Let's go now. The eldest brother should be up by now."
"Yes." Nanny Li sighed inwardly and walked out.
——
On the third day, Su Peisheng arrested a suspect. Someone discovered that this person had sneaked out when the second princess fell into the water, and came back after the second princess fell into the water.
After some investigation, this slave was the most suspicious.
A lot of gold, silver, jewelry and money were also found in her house.
Now that he had found these, there was nothing else to say. Su Peisheng just took the person away.
