Chapter 431: Control
Yu Lingxiu had a cold expression, and her eyes fell indifferently on Lin Miaoyin: "In that case, then please trouble the princess to come in!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around gracefully and stepped into the yard first.
Upon seeing this, Nanny Wu immediately followed closely and even slowly closed the door of the yard.
As soon as the gate closed, Feng Ming hurriedly walked to Beigong You's side, leaned over slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I smelled a very strong smell of blood in Miss Yu's yard just now. But strangely, after searching everywhere, I didn't find any human figure."
Beigong You frowned when he heard this and asked, "Why didn't you say it just now?"
Feng Ming looked embarrassed, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "I am really worried that the injured person might be Master Shen. Master Shen has a special status, and this matter is of great importance. I dare not speak rashly."
Beigong You's heart sank, realizing that there was a smell of blood in the yard but no one was seen. This most likely meant that the area of the dungeon in the mansion that they had previously guessed might include the yard in front of them.
Thinking back to when he had previously forbidden Feng Ming to mention the surname Chen, he couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed, thinking that this was going to be troublesome.
Meanwhile, in the yard.
As soon as Lin Miaoyin stepped into the yard, she apologized directly: "Miss Yu, I misunderstood you just now. I'm sorry."
Yu Lingxiu was originally planning on ridiculing Lin Miaoyin, but when she heard this sudden apology, she was stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face froze instantly.
After a long while, she came back to her senses. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint sneer, and she said with forced calmness: "Princess, do you think this counts as an apology?"
Lin Miaoyin ignored Yu Lingxiu and turned her gaze to Madam Wu: "Madam, you just stopped me, and now you are trying to get me to avoid the prince and come in. Why is that?"
Yu Lingxiu was suddenly awakened by Lin Miaoyin's reminder. She subconsciously looked at Nanny Wu with hesitation in her eyes.
Nanny Wu felt that gaze and cursed in her heart, "idiot". With just a few words of provocation, she was manipulated into doing things.
"The princess just wanted to come in, but I asked you to come in. Why would there be so many reasons?" Nanny Wu looked stern and her tone was a little tough.
Upon hearing this, Lin Miaoyin slowly looked around the dilapidated courtyard and frowned slightly.
Suddenly, the tip of her nose moved slightly, and a faint smell of blood came into her nose with the breeze. In an instant, her face turned pale.
Nanny Wu saw all of this, and a barely perceptible smug smile appeared on her lips: "I asked the princess to come in because I felt that the prince valued her so much, but the princess apologized to a servant in public. If this gets out, wouldn't it damage the prince's reputation? That's why I asked the princess to come in so that I can give an explanation."
Lin Miaoyin took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and sneered, "Madame Wu, what you said is very interesting. The prince values me, and this is known to everyone in the palace. But apologizing in public is just me being fair, so how can it damage the prince's reputation? Do you have other ideas, Madame?"
Nanny Wu's face darkened, and she retorted in a stiff tone: "What the princess said is true. I am only thinking about the prince. The princess should consider the prince's face more when she acts."
After saying that, Nanny Wu opened the gate of the courtyard: "Anyway, the princess has seen the courtyard and apologized. If there is nothing else, you should leave early! Aren't you looking for someone? It's not good to stay here any longer!"
The moment Nanny Wu opened the courtyard door, Beigong You immediately stepped forward.
Lin Miaoyin's beautiful eyes moved as she glanced at him gently. Then she turned to Aunt Wu with a faint smile on her face and said gently, "Thank you for your concern, Aunt Wu!"
Nanny Wu deliberately let her enter the yard just now. It turned out that she had an ulterior motive. She wanted her to sense the faint smell of blood in Yu Lingxiu's yard.
The bloody smell is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, which makes people shudder.
She knew very well that someone as perceptive as Feng Ming could not fail to notice this abnormality.
But he insisted that there was nothing, there must be something hidden.
Feng Ming has always been loyal to Beigong You and would never betray him.
In this case, there is only one possibility - Beigong You instructed Feng Ming to conceal this matter.
Nanny Wu must have discovered this and set up this plan, deliberately letting her find out the clues, with the purpose of alienating the relationship between her and Beigong You.
Thinking of this, Lin Miaoyin looked at Nanny Wu with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
Then, Lin Miaoyin turned slightly and faced Beigong You, saying softly, "Are there any other places they might have gone to?"
Beigong You's originally high-hanging heart quietly let go after hearing these words, and the expression on his face softened for a moment, as if the warm spring sun dispelled the winter haze, and he only whispered: "Let's go!"
After saying this, he took Lin Miaoyin away from this place of trouble without hesitation, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
Yu Lingxiu looked at the two people's backs as they walked away, her pretty face filled with deep, hard-to-conceal unwillingness. Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, her nails almost digging into her palms.
Nanny Wu stood aside, with a sarcastic sneer on her lips, and her tone was like poison: "The princess is so arrogant and rude, and the prince is still protecting her so wholeheartedly. There will definitely be a big mess in the future!"
When Yu Lingxiu heard this, the fire of jealousy in her heart instantly burned fiercely. The jealousy was like a surging tide, almost drowning her completely.
After just a moment's glance, she suddenly looked at Nanny Wu with a sharp gaze, and asked with a hint of doubt and vigilance in her tone, "Mammy, why did you insist on asking the princess to come into my yard just now? Could it be that Yuzhu is really in my yard?"
Madam Wu pretended to be extremely surprised and stared at her with wide eyes: "How could the young lady not know whether Yuzhu is in the young lady's yard?"
Yu Lingxiu had a disdainful sneer on her face, and said in a cold tone: "I haven't left the house for several days, how can I know the situation in the yard?"
Nanny Wu had a false smile on her face and said slowly, "I don't know! Besides, even if I really knew where Yuzhu was, why would I send her to the young lady's courtyard?"
Of course, she was used to deal with Lin Miaoyin.
Although she had been taken advantage of by the court doctor these days, her leg disease had improved a little and she was no longer disturbed by the piercing pain, and her mind was much clearer than before.
Thinking back on the events of the past few days, it was not difficult for her to discover that she had been deliberately and cleverly instigated to resent Lin Miaoyin.
Just like just now.
