Chapter 404 Missing
When Lin Miaoyin heard this, her heart was shocked and a look of surprise appeared on her face. Feng Ming continued, "After Madam Wu has finished questioning everything, she will ask Cui Lu to sign and seal the agreement, and then let Yu Lingxiu watch Cui Lu being beaten to death."
Lin Miaoyin's hands clenched unconsciously, and a complex emotion surged in her heart, including sympathy for Cui Lu's tragic ending and confusion about the complex relationship behind it.
Lin Miaoyin took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and asked, "Where is Yu Lingxiu now?"
Feng Ming lowered his head slightly and replied, "She is now kneeling in the Princess's courtyard."
Lin Miaoyin was silent for a moment, with a myriad of thoughts running through her mind.
In the Princess's Courtyard, the atmosphere was as depressing as the dead silence before a storm.
Yu Lingxiu was wearing plain clothes and kneeling on the ground. Her figure looked particularly small and helpless in the middle of the empty hall.
In the inner room of the main hall, the eldest princess did not show up. Only her vague silhouette behind the screen revealed an elusive majesty.
At this time, Nanny Wu walked in hurriedly.
When passing by Yu Lingxiu, Yu Lingxiu grabbed Wu Ma's trouser leg as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and said in a trembling and anxious voice: "Ma'am, why doesn't the princess see me?"
Yu Lingxiu's eyes were filled with confusion and anxiety as she stared at Nanny Wu, as if she could find the answer from her face.
Nanny Wu looked at Yu Lingxiu like this, still seeming to not know what she had done wrong. She secretly sighed at her confusion and could not help but sneer. A trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. She forcefully moved Yu Lingxiu's hand away, and without even stopping for long, she quickly walked towards the inner courtyard.
When the princess heard Nanny Wu's footsteps, she raised her eyes slightly and said in a cold voice, as if covered with frost: "You said everything?"
Nanny Wu immediately bowed respectfully and replied, "I've told you that the matter is over for the young master. But Lin Miaoyin seems to be still pursuing the matter!"
When the princess heard this, her eyebrows knitted up instantly, and a trace of anger flashed across her face: "She really thinks this is her place!"
Madam Wu hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Master, when I came in, Miss Yu asked me what I had done wrong."
When the princess heard this, a cold light flashed in her eyes: "You still don't know what's wrong?"
She shook her head gently, her tone full of disappointment and determination: "If you are so stupid, don't stay here anymore!"
Nanny Wu understood what she meant, nodded slightly, and retreated quietly.
After leaving the yard, she looked at Yu Lingxiu who was still kneeling on the ground with a cold expression and a voice without a trace of warmth: "Miss, you have been here for so long, I am sure your elders at home are worried about you. The princess can't bear it, so let this old servant take you back!"
When Yu Lingxiu heard this, she was struck by lightning and instantly realized that she had been completely abandoned by the princess.
She threw herself at Nanny Wu's feet, hugged Nanny Wu's legs tightly with both hands, and cried: "Please help me, Nanny, I will definitely listen to the eldest princess and will not act on my own again!"
Her tears flowed freely, and her face was full of fear and pleading, but Nanny Wu remained unmoved.
Nanny Wu had a cold expression on her face, she didn't even raise her eyelids, she just waved her hand casually, motioning the maid waiting on the side to come forward.
The old women immediately understood what he meant and hurried towards Yu Lingxiu. Although their actions were not rough, they were not gentle at all. They held Yu Lingxiu's arms on the left and right, ready to help her up.
Yu Lingxiu was still struggling, her cries echoing in the empty yard: "Mammy, please, give me another chance, I really know I was wrong..."
After Yu Lingxiu was lifted up, Nanny Wu spoke slowly, without a trace of emotion in her voice: "I will give you half an hour to pack your things. After half an hour, I will personally take you away."
Her tone left no room for doubt. After she finished speaking, she turned her back to Yu Lingxiu and ignored her pleading.
Yu Lingxiu stared with empty eyes at the figure of Nanny Wu as she walked away. She felt as if her spine had been taken away and her whole body was limp.
With the help of the old woman, she moved her feet mechanically and walked towards her own yard step by step.
.
Looking back on when she first entered the Princess's Mansion, the outside world tacitly assumed that she would become the Princess's daughter-in-law, and she enjoyed great glory for a time.
She didn't dare to think about where she would go in the future.
How would outsiders point fingers at, ridicule, and mock her family? These thoughts were like sharp blades, piercing her heart again and again.
"Cui Lu, pack your things!" She used her last bit of strength to speak in a hoarse voice, her voice full of fatigue and despair.
As soon as she said this, she suddenly came to her senses and realized that Cuilu was no longer alive.
In an instant, the scene of Cui Lu being beaten to death emerged involuntarily in my mind.
Her eyes were filled with hatred, as if they wanted to eat her alive.
She knew better than anyone that Nanny Wu wanted Cui Lu to die just to make her shut up forever, to bury all the secrets and right and wrong along with Cui Lu's life, and to put an end to everything with her.
In this way, there is no evidence. Even if Lin Miaoyin is determined to trace the source of the rumor, it is doomed to be futile and nothing will be found.
"Lin Miaoyin!" Yu Lingxiu gritted her teeth and shouted, her voice squeezed out from between her teeth, full of bone-eating hatred. Her hands were clenched into fists, her nails almost embedded in her palms, veins popped out on the back of her hands, and her knuckles turned white from excessive force. At this moment, the face of Lin Miaoyin in her mind was like a demon that could not be shaken off. It was this woman who had shattered her life.
Just when her resentment was about to consume her, Chu Youan's figure suddenly broke into her thoughts. Yu Lingxiu's whole body shook violently, as if she was struck by a thunderbolt, and all her doubts were answered in an instant.
In an instant, she suddenly realized and finally understood why the eldest princess gave up on her to become King Ning's person.
It was her. It was she who took advantage of Chu Youan.
It wasn't her who touched anyone in the Princess's Mansion, nor was it her who poisoned the Princess's Mansion. It was her who touched Chu Youan, so the Princess became angry.
She didn't have time to think about it, so she turned around and rushed out of the yard like a madman, running straight towards Chu Youan's yard.
Behind her, the anxious shouts of the maids became louder and louder, but Yu Lingxiu seemed to be deaf to them. She had only one thought in her mind: she must find Chu Youan as soon as possible. Her footsteps were messy and hurried, and her shoes stomped heavily on the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.
Finally, she ran to Chu Youan's yard.
Chu Youan was standing in the middle of the study, the sunlight outlined a soft silhouette around her.
On her fair face, her eyes are bright and clear, like the purest lake in spring, revealing ignorance and innocence.
However, when Yu Lingxiu saw this beautiful scene, a trace of resentment suddenly flashed in her eyes.
