The old lady sat there silently, carefully observing everyone present. Today was Youxue's big day, and Qian Yingxue, who wanted to see Youxue humiliated, was kept under strict guard and was one of her people; there was no way she would run into trouble.
Oh, right!
I haven't seen Mu Xue all morning. Where did she go?
To verify Yunhe's words, Qiansheng sent someone to Yunhe's house, where they saw the rope Yunhe mentioned, as well as the gag, and brought everything back.
Aunt Liu's eyelids twitched violently; she had noticed from the beginning that Mu Xue hadn't appeared. She figured she was just there to watch the show anyway, so if she didn't come, she didn't come; she could just make up a lie and get away with it.
However, she now realized that things might not be so simple, so she secretly called Granny Zhang and instructed her to go and check on the second young lady's room.
However, before Granny Zhang could even step out, the old lady called out to her, "Stop! Where are you going?"
Granny Zhang dared not say more and retreated to stand beside her master.
"Mrs. Liu, please stay. Everyone else, go back and rest!" The old lady didn't want to air her dirty laundry in public, nor did she want to affect Yuexue and Yingxue, so she waved her hand and dismissed everyone.
Aunt Lan knew something was definitely not going to happen when she didn't see Qian Muxue following her this morning. Now that she's seen Yunhe appear, even a fool would know what's going on. Let's see what Liu Shi can do this time.
After the others left, Qian Sheng glanced at Granny Zhang, then at his mother, and seemed to understand something. Before his mother could speak, he stepped forward and slapped Aunt Liu across the face.
Aunt Liu, bewildered, touched her face, still trying to argue, "Master, why did you hit me?"
"Where's Mu Xue!" Qian Sheng shouted.
Aunt Liu staggered back two steps, speechless, touching her face and shaking her head: "I don't know either, I haven't seen her since this morning."
Why……
Despite all her calculations, she never anticipated Qian Muxue's deep cunning. A scheme to switch the prince with a cat is unfolding in the Qian family; is this a blessing or a curse for the old lady?
If the Crown Prince knows that this matter will not be easily resolved, the Prince of Zhan's mansion will probably not let things rest either. The Qian family is going to be in big trouble this time.
Just as the room fell silent, a sack was thrown in from outside. The person inside the sack struggled a few times on the ground and then went still.
Before anyone could open the sack, a deep voice came from outside: "Madam, for the sake of Princess Zhan, the person has been sent back to you. Yunhe, the Prince wants you to go to the Prince's residence to serve the Princess as soon as possible."
That voice sounds so familiar, it's Uncle Long!
Qian Sheng shuddered, feeling a chill run down his spine, and hurriedly stepped forward to open the sack. Inside, he saw Qian Muxue dressed in a phoenix coronet and wedding gown.
Qian Muxue realized she had been exposed, so she pretended to be unconscious and closed her eyes. It wasn't until her father shook her arm that she woke up, feigning confusion: "Father... what's wrong?"
"Mu Xue, Mu Xue, what's wrong with you?" Qian Sheng pointed at Mu Xue's outfit without touching the ground.
Qian Muxue pretended to look at the clothes, then touched her face, shaking her head in shock: "What...what happened?"
The old lady stared intently at Qian Muxue, her expression genuine, before slowly speaking: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Qian Muxue sniffed, tears streaming down her face. She threw herself into her father's arms, her face full of fear, and sobbed as she made up an excuse: "Muxue doesn't know either. I was sleeping soundly in the room last night. How could this have happened?"
"Where's your girl?" When Madam Su entered and saw Qian Muxue's appearance, she guessed that things weren't so simple. This Qian Muxue, who seemed like a lady from a respectable family, was far more cunning than Madam Liu.
