Chapter 425 Undercurrent
"I think this matter is probably not as simple as serving people." Yu Lingxiu shook her head slowly.
Yu Lingxiu's recent condition was so strange that she felt it necessary to find out the truth.
But when she thought of the fierce argument that Beigong You had just had with the eldest princess because of her own affairs, a complex emotion surged in her heart.
She didn't want to owe that man a favor for no reason anymore. This stubbornness took root in her heart, so she suppressed the idea of asking Beigong You for help.
Yuzhu had been silently paying attention to Lin Miaoyin's expression. Seeing that her eyes were full of confusion and entanglement, she hurried forward and said softly, "How about I go outside and ask for some information?"
After hearing this, Lin Miaoyin shook her head again, and her eyes fell gently on Yuzhu, "You stay in the courtyard for now. The situation is unclear now, and moving around may cause unnecessary trouble. This mansion may seem peaceful, but in fact, undercurrents are surging. If you are not careful, you may fall into danger."
Chu Youan had been listening quietly to the conversation between the adults. She blinked her eyes, first looked at Yuzhu, who was usually very gentle to her, and then turned her gaze to her mother.
Her small chest was slightly raised, her young face was full of seriousness, she couldn't help but raise her head, pointed at herself with her little finger, and said crisply: "I can do it!"
Lin Miaoyin looked at Chu Youan who was eager to help, and couldn't help but laugh. She shook her head gently, raised her hand and gently touched her head, and said in a gentle voice: "The adults can handle their own affairs, so don't worry about it."
Chu Youan blinked his eyes, his little brain working rapidly. After thinking for a moment, he said crisply: "Ask father?"
After hearing this, Lin Miaoyin shook her head again and did not answer.
She felt helpless and didn't want to dwell on this topic any further.
The relationship between her and Beigong You is indeed somewhat subtle.
Chu Youan looked puzzled, "Father is an adult!"
Her childish voice was full of confusion. She didn't understand why she couldn't ask her father.
Lin Miaoyin felt helpless. It was difficult to explain the relationship between her and Beigong You to the young Chu Youan.
In name they are husband and wife, but she has no memory of the past, and her feelings towards Beigong You now only remain at the level that he is Chu Youan's father.
But for Chu Youan, a family with both parents is extremely important.
In order to prevent Chu Youan's childhood from being traumatized, she stayed in the Princess's Mansion, even though her identity was somewhat improper.
"Yuzhu, your most important task right now is to help me take good care of Youan." Lin Miaoyin didn't want to talk about anything related to Beigong You anymore, so she changed the subject, looked at Yuzhu seriously, and explained solemnly.
Yuzhu was about to say that there was no need to remind her like that, but when she met Lin Miaoyin's serious and unquestionable gaze, she swallowed the words back and could only nod in agreement obediently.
She understood Lin Miaoyin's concerns and was willing to take good care of the young master wholeheartedly for the young lady.
After coming out of Chu Youan's yard, Lin Miaoyin originally planned to go back to her room and think carefully about what was going on with Yu Lingxiu's ventilation.
But just when she took a few steps, she saw Maidong coming towards her.
Lin Miaoyin paused abruptly, and the words Feng Ming had told her before instantly emerged in her mind.
In the years since she left, Maidong and Yuzhu have been running around looking for her. I think the relationship between the two must be very deep, maybe...
"Are you here to look for Yuzhu?" Lin Miaoyin asked first, with a hint of tentativeness in her voice.
Mai Dong stood straight in front of her, his posture as straight as a pine tree, and said respectfully: "I am here to see the princess on the orders of the prince. The prince said that the princess may have something to tell me."
Lin Miaoyin was slightly startled when she heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face.
She really didn't expect that Beigong You could guess her thoughts. An indescribable subtle feeling quietly grew in her heart.
He actually knows her so well?
This realization caused ripples in Lin Miaoyin's heart, and she couldn't help but start wondering what kind of past they had during the days when she lost her memory?
Lin Miaoyin calmed herself down, raised her eyes and looked at Mai Dong. Her expression regained some calmness, and she said, "Since the prince has said so, I won't beat around the bush. Do you know if there is anything unusual with Yu Lingxiu recently?"
Mai Dong bowed his head and replied respectfully: "To answer the princess, Miss Yu has been recuperating in the courtyard recently and has not been out!"
Lin Miaoyin frowned slightly, "Has she met anyone?"
"Except for the court doctor and Nanny Wu, I haven't seen anyone else! Even the people serving Miss Yu are not the same people every day! The princess seems to be on guard against something!"
Mai Dong’s answer made Lin Miaoyin fall into deeper thought.
She thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of anything unusual. She couldn't help but ask Mai Dong: "Then do you think there is something wrong here?"
Maidong shook his head. Everything was normal. Moreover, Nanny Wu had brought the court doctor to see Yu Lingxiu with the eldest princess's permission. There was nothing unusual.
"Then help me pay more attention!" Lin Miaoyin stopped thinking and told Mai Dong: "It's better if you find someone to help me keep an eye on him. Can you stay in Youan's yard and protect Yuzhu?"
After Lin Miaoyin said this, she found that Mai Dong was not surprised, but relieved. She knew that before he came, Beigong You should have told him to protect Yuzhu.
He felt uncomfortable again because Beigong You guessed his thoughts again, and even predicted thoughts that he had not yet had.
After giving Maidong some detailed instructions, Lin Miaoyin walked towards Beigong You's study.
As soon as he stepped into the study, he saw Feng Ming standing in front of Beigong You with a serious expression, reporting important matters in a low voice.
Feng Ming stopped talking when he noticed someone coming in.
Lin Miaoyin instantly realized that she seemed to have interrupted them, and quickly said, "I'll come back later!"
After saying that, he prepared to turn around and leave.
Beigong You's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible hesitation. Looking at Lin Miaoyin's back that turned quickly as if to avoid suspicion, he said hastily, "It's okay. I don't have anything to hide from you."
When Lin Miaoyin heard this, she felt mixed emotions. She blurted out subconsciously, "Then why was our relationship so bad in the first place? Why did I forget all my memories of you?"
Beigong You's face suddenly became very ugly, as if he was hit by a sledgehammer.
He really didn't want to recall the past when they were together, those days full of misunderstandings and quarrels.
He was afraid that once Lin Miaoyin knew everything, she would resolutely take Youan and leave his world completely.
