C666 Mind-mind

"Give them to him." Lian Meng Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Tell her that this maid's mouth is not clean so keep a tight watch. But she is someone the third miss brought back. Just keep quiet and keep her locked up." See what Lian Shiya is doing? "

"Yes." Leng Mei looked at the two maidservants, and the few of them took off Xiang Ying who was in so much pain that she almost lost consciousness.

The rest of the group immediately cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground.

Lian Ruyue held the mud-stained doll in her hands — —

This method of secretly cursing was in line with Lian Shiya's style of dealing with the world. She shamelessly stayed behind in order to curse the technique, which seemed to make sense.

"Qing Dai, tell the maidservants waiting outside to come in." A moment later, Lian Lu Yue instructed.

The maidservant walked in and greeted Lian Meng Yue before saying, "Eldest Miss, this servant has something to report to you."

"What is it?"

"This servant occasionally goes to Clear Spring Academy to clean. Today, while this servant is cleaning, I accidentally overheard Third Young Miss and her maid Chen Xiu say that they wanted to marry our Prince for a drop of blood, and they wanted to curse him." The maidservant said.

"What's your name?" Lian Ruyue asked.

"Servant Cai Zhu, third-rate maidservant." The servant answered.

The witness, the material evidence, were all there. There was not a single flaw to be found.

"Eldest Miss, the third young miss was in the Prime Minister's study just now, but she was chased out. This servant can vaguely hear the Prime Minister cursing the third young miss, saying that she's speaking nonsense and telling her to scram back to the Duke of Yue's estate. She is not allowed to appear at tomorrow's banquet." Leng Mei returned and said.

"Do you know why?"

"I asked the butler, and the housekeeper said that Third Miss said in front of the lord that she would give Duke Ming An his life. Duke Ming An ordered Rick's father to remind the lord to be careful of the duke." Leng Mei said.

"This Third Miss is really looking for trouble on her own. Now that the Duke has brought glory to our family, the Master is so happy that he can't even keep his mouth shut. Why would he listen to such depressing words?" Senior Servant Tai said from the side.

"This Third Miss really doesn't give up. There isn't even a place to sit in the mansion, yet she still recklessly ran in front of the Old Master to speak ill of Prince An. She's really courting death." Qing Dai shook her head and said.

"Then let's go and see how she seeks death." Lian Ruyue neither agreed nor disagreed with the servants' discussion and said while standing up.

After Lian Shiya was chased out of Lian Yan Qing's study, she stood by the study door and hurriedly said, "Father, daughter didn't say anything nonsense …"

Before she could finish her sentence, the door had mercilessly closed.

"Father, why don't you believe me?" Lian Shiya knelt on the ground with a sobbing tone and said unwillingly. However, a faint cold smile flashed in her eyes.

"Madam, let's just leave. It won't look good if the prime minister sends someone to drive him away later, he'll lose face for his highness." Cheng Jian went to help support Lian Shiya as she spoke.

"I have good intentions, but my father is unwilling to accept it. He must be harmed by some secret technique before he knows regret. Forget it, I'm just a nobody now, so what's there to say. Let's go, where's Xiang Ying?"

She looked around but didn't see any sign of Xiang Ying, so she asked.

"Third sister has brought back a rather skilled person to stay by her side while pretending to be an ordinary maid. Lian Tian is worried about the safety of the mansion and has already locked Xiang Ying away." At this moment, a voice without warmth came from behind Lian Shiya.

She stopped crying and used the handkerchief to wipe the tears off her face. She turned around and saw Lian Ruyue standing there. The sun was clearly shining, but when she saw her, even Lian Shiya felt a chill in her heart.

Her expression suddenly changed. She appeared extremely nervous as she asked in a low voice:

"What?" The maidservants I brought along with me have been captured? This is something that the Fourth Prince has bestowed upon me. It's a small guard of the heavens, and he dares to arbitrarily capture my men! I'm going to find him and find out who ordered her to do this! "

"…" Lian Ruyue raised her hand and loosened it, causing a puppet to drop at Lian Shiya's feet. Lian Shiyue was originally filled with righteous indignation and indignation for her injustice.

However, the moment he saw the puppet, his face immediately turned pale and he no longer dared to look straight into Lian Meng Yue's eyes.

"Pa …" Lian Ruyue raised her other hand and another bottle fell by Lian Shiya's feet. With a "pa" sound, it shattered, causing a trickle of red blood to flow out.

Lian Shiya's expression became even more unsightly, and her eyes flickered as she said, "What, what is this? Why did you throw it by my side?"

Lian Ruyue looked at Lian Shiya and shook her head. Her cold eyes revealed dense disdain as she said:

"Third sister, don't play with such low-class tricks."

Tomorrow is the big day for you and Fourth Uncle, so I don't have the time to waste time with you. Your maid has already been imprisoned, so quickly leave, if you stay any longer, don't blame me for being merciless! "

"You!" Lian Shiya's face flushed red. "I …"

"What? Do you want me to give these two items to Father?" Lian Ru Yue asked indifferently.

Lian Shiya clenched her teeth and got up from the ground. With the help of the orange embroidery, she left with a limp, as if she was unwilling.

"The servants of Third Sister have already loaded the carriages. There's no need to return to the Clear Spring Academy, just head to the manor's entrance." Lian Ruyue looked at her back and said.

"…" Lian Shiya turned around and grit her teeth. When the words were about to leave her mouth, she didn't say a single word and instead walked towards the direction of the manor's entrance.

Lian Ruyue watched her back as she walked into the distance, her gaze locked deeply on her:

"Nothing can happen tomorrow."

Pan Ruo sat cross-legged on the great banyan tree in front of the palace with her eyes closed and a blade of grass in her mouth. A white figure appeared in her mind, and her face flushed.

"Lady Silver, my lady invites the princess over." As she was lost in her thoughts, she looked down and saw several palace maids walking over.

She flipped over and jumped down from the tree.

"Ah …" A few palace maids were startled when they saw Princess Yiyun descending from the sky.

Pan Ruoxi removed the grass from her mouth and asked, "What did the Concubine Xian want with this princess?"

"The Empress told me that the newly conferred Duke Ming An had a banquet at the Prime Minister's estate and asked the princess if she wanted to go and play. The Empress said that the princess was bored and that it would be better for her to go out and make a few friends." The palace maid was still in a panicked state as she asked with a trembling voice.

"Duke Ming An?" Pan Ruo thought for a while, then asked, "Is it the younger brother of the county governor, Rong He, Lian Ruoyue?"

"Exactly." The palace maid replied.

"Who will be attending the banquet at the Prime Minister's Estate?" Pan Ruochi asked.

"According to what this servant knows, all the high ranking officials, family members, and princes will all come to congratulate you."

"Then …" Pan Ruoxi paused for a moment, then grabbed the palace maid's neck, pulled her to the side, and asked in a low voice, "Come, tell me in a low and honest voice, will the Ninth Prince go?"

When had this palace maid ever met such a disrespectful master? She hurriedly said, "I'm sure he will go. His Highness has always been on good terms with the Prime Minister and has a deep relationship with Duke Ming An. He will go."

"Alright, go report to the Concubine Xian. I'll go join in the fun as well, so we can get a closer look at Duke Ming, but I need to prepare a congratulatory gift for my first visit. I'll even be able to choose from the treasures that Qing Nan brought."

"The day before yesterday, the Prime Minister told me that anyone who attends the banquet must not bring gifts worth more than three silver taels." The palace maid reminded him.

"Three taels of silver?" Pan Ruochen frowned and said, "Those treasures of mine are worth at least a thousand taels of silver. These three taels of silver really isn't easy to find."

The palace maid smiled. "Don't worry, princess. The consort had long known that you would worry about these three taels of silver, so she has already prepared it for you. You can take it with you when you go."
