When something happened to the Jingdu Academy, especially if it was related to An Lingge's life, Mu Junhan immediately ordered his men to investigate the matter.

Not even two hours later, the shadow guard returned to report.

"Master, this subordinate has investigated thoroughly, and this matter is caused by the third miss of Prince An's Palace. She sent people to bribe the people of Jingdu Academy, and wanted to kill Miss An."

Mu Junhan was sitting right next to the window of the restaurant.

His thin lips formed a dangerous smile, "If this Hereditary Prince remembers correctly, then that Third Miss of Prince An's Palace has already framed Little Ge many times."

A concubine's concubine, relying on her birth mother to gain power, repeatedly framed her first daughter. She was quite bold.

"However, although the people from Prince An's Palace know who the real culprit is, they've followed the madame's orders and pushed this matter to a maid. The third miss actually didn't receive any punishment."

"They naturally have to clean up this matter. Otherwise, when the emperor blames them for it, the most unfortunate thing would be the entire Prince An's Palace." The expression on Mu Junhan's face could not even be described as ridiculing or mocking, "It's just a pity that girl, after getting scared, still had to suffer such grievances."

The shadow guard naturally knew who the girl Mu Junhan was talking about was.

He lowered his head, but there was a strange expression on his face, "Master, it was Miss An's idea to let a servant girl take the blame."

Therefore, Miss An would not feel wronged.

This was the shadow guard's underlying meaning, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

Mu Junhan was startled for a moment, but quickly let out a low laugh, "This Hereditary Prince actually forgot, that girl is a smart person who does not lose out."

It was because she knew that the madame would definitely hide this matter for her Prince An's Palace, that was why she intentionally asked the servant to take the blame. Since she was looking at the bigger picture, she had severed An Lingyi's arm.

Although on the surface, it looked like An Lingyi did not lose anything, but losing a servant girl was a huge blow to Third Young Miss.

The shadow guard thought for a moment and understood the reason.

It was no wonder that Master would be moved by the Miss An. A woman as smart and intelligent as her master might not be able to find another person like him.

Mu Junhan laughed for a while, knowing that An Lingge had her own plans, she decided to temporarily put this matter aside, "Have you finished investigating the matter regarding the medicine store?"

Earlier, he had sensed that there were people secretly hoarding medicinal herbs in the large medicine stores in the capital. As a result, he had secretly ordered those medicine stores to not sell any medicinal herbs that went directly to purchase large quantities of medicinal herbs.

The shadow guard thought for a moment, then said, "This subordinate has been looking inside that medicine store for the past few days, and very few people have bought those herbs directly." This subordinate looked around that medicine store for a few days, and very few people have directly bought those herbs, but this subordinate discovered that many of the herbs that you listed were bought by others.

That was to say, although no one directly went to buy the herbs, they had thought of other ways and were still hoarding the herbs.

A flash of surprise passed through Mu Junhan's eyes. He didn't know who could actually take away these medicinal herbs from right under his nose. Unfortunately, the capital city was so big, he couldn't order his medicine shop to not sell these medicines.

He pondered for a moment before instructing the shadow guard, "You can continue to investigate this matter. You can't leave any traces behind."

The shadow guard accepted his orders and left. However, what Mu Junhan did not expect was that before he could even find out who was hoarding the medicinal ingredients, An Lingyi had actually found out about this matter by accident.

"That bitch An Lingge, her life is really tough." An Lingyi's tone was sinister, she ordered the servant by her side to bury her head tightly, not daring to make a sound.

Originally, she was only doing some insignificant things in An Lingyi's courtyard. It was because of the matter of the maid's conviction that she was ordered to serve An Lingyi as a first-rate maid.

However, this servant had been in An Lingyi's courtyard for two to three years, and knew what kind of arrogant personality her master had. After finding out that she was promoted to a first-tier maid, she was not surprised, but panicked, afraid that she would make a mistake and be sold out by An Lingyi.

Her cautious appearance, when placed in front of An Lingyi's eyes, made her even more furious, "Why are you standing so far away, are you afraid that I'll eat you?"

"This servant dares not." The servant immediately took two steps forward, and just as she arrived beside An Lingyi, the latter fiercely swung her hand, and slapped her on the face.

"What a fool. He's not as clever as Jane." An Lingyi thought of Little Jun and looked down on the maidservants in front of him.

She originally had two maids by her side, but Bai Yu, this maid, had betrayed her and was killed by her mother during Qing Yun Temple. She only had a loyal daughter, but due to her own sin, she could not be saved.

This newly promoted servant girl did not know how to advise her against anything. Instead, she was afraid and afraid when she fought An Lingge together with her. It was truly an unpleasant sight to behold.

Her face darkened and the servant girl immediately knelt down, "Please don't be angry, Miss. Your servant has a stupid temper. If Miss doesn't like it, please send your servant to be the servant girl."

She wished that An Lingyi could send her away from him so that she could become his servant. At the very least, it would be better than being his servant, since his life was not in danger.

When Zhen'er was tormented and sent flying back with blood all over her body, she was extremely frightened. However, the nanny that brought her back was extremely cold as she looked at the servants with disdain.

"As a servant of the third young mistress, Jane actually dared to frame her master. The old mistress ordered her servants to whip her fifty times. Even though her life was not good, I still have to give her back. "All of you maidservants, remember this. If you hold any more thoughts, my son's fate will be the same as yours."

Although she was a second class maid, she knew that Jane had taken the blame for the third young miss.

In the past, she had seen how mighty Jen was, but in the end, not even a single piece of her body had fallen. She didn't want to end up like this as well.

An Lingyi's gaze fell upon the servant girl, his tone gloomy: "What, are you afraid of implicating you by staying by my side?"

"This servant dares not." "It's just that this servant is stupid and afraid of dragging Miss down. Originally, when Big Sister Zhen'er served Miss's room, this servant was very envious and always felt that Big Sister Zhen Er's luck in her previous life allowed her to serve Miss."
