Bing-Er sighed and walked out of the yard. She walked along the narrow path, a long way ahead of her. There was no longer a longer path ahead of her. Bing'er turned around and looked at the small courtyard that was out of sight. She sighed in her heart. That small courtyard was so desolate. Those who didn't know about it would think that it was the backyard of the Prime Minister's Palace.

Bing'er turned around and walked along the path until she reached the end of the path. On her left was a tall and thick wall, and not far to her right was a semicircular arch, and she turned and walked towards the arch. Just beyond the arch was a rather wide path, and there were rows of neat elms on both sides of the path.

A light breeze blew by, and the fragrance of wild flowers assaulted his nostrils, causing him to feel relaxed and happy.

Bing'er closed her eyes and breathed in the fragrance in the air. After he exhaled, he opened his eyes and walked along the small path with a smile on his face.

After walking out of the path, Bing'er's eyes could not help but light up. In front of her was a huge pond, and the pond was filled with untainted lotus flowers. The blooming lotus flowers bloomed between the fan-like green leaves, as beautiful as a white-robed fairy descending into the world.

In the middle of the pond, a few small fountains sprinkled the water like a drizzle on a summer day. The weeping willow trees by the side of the pond surrounded the entire pond. A large pavilion between the weeping willow and the pond was placed at the edge of the pond.

Bing-Er walked slowly to the pavilion and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the lotus flowers blooming in the pond. She breathed in the faint fragrance emitted by the lotus flowers.

Suddenly, Bing-Er sighed. After being here for so long, she didn't have any clues. She was like a headless fly flying around.

"Who allowed you to stand here?" A sharp voice came from behind her.

Bing-Er was startled by the sudden voice. She turned around and saw a maidservant in light pink dress standing in front of her, holding onto a beautiful woman, dressed in a lavender dress with several beautiful lotuses embroidered on the hem. A belt made of gold and silver thread was tied around her waist. Her eyes were as pretty as autumn water, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and she had a fair oval face with rosy red lips. Although she had the appearance of a weak girl, her body exuded an innate noble aura. Especially her pair of limpid eyes, which revealed a sharp aura from time to time.

"How dare you refuse to greet the Madam when you see her?" The maid stepped forward and pointed at Bing-Er, and then she slapped on Bing-Er's face. After that, she retreated back to the beautiful woman and said coldly, "You are looking down on me!"

Bing-Er was about to bow to the beautiful woman in front of her, but then she felt a burning pain on her face.

Bing-Er's anger immediately reached its peak. She wanted to slap the maid, but she couldn't. In this strange courtyard, if she didn't offend people, it was best if she didn't offend people. Furthermore, if she really pissed off the lady, it would be bad for her to be kicked out of the Prime Minister's Palace.

Bing-Er suppressed the anger in her heart and took a deep breath. She half squatted and bowed to the beautiful woman. "I, Bing-Er, greet Madam."

The beautiful woman glanced at Bing-Er blandly, "Stand up."

Bing-Er stood up and thanked the beautiful woman. "Thank you, madam."

The maid supported the beautiful woman and carried her over to the pavilion, sitting gracefully on a stone bench in the pavilion. He looked at the beautiful scene in the pond.

Bing-Er turned around to face the beautiful woman, "Madam, your servant will take his leave." Although this beautiful woman's expression was calm and gentle, it gave off a domineering feeling. Perhaps even the head mistress was like this. Otherwise, how could she manage nearly a hundred servants in the Prime Minister's Estate?

However, she gave Bing-Er an invisible pressure at the same time, causing her to feel suffocated. She wanted to get out of here.

The beautiful woman retracted her sight from the beautiful scene in the pond and looked at Bing-Er. She said slowly, "Where are you?"

The beautiful woman's gaze made Bing'er extremely uncomfortable. She squatted down and answered respectfully, "Madam, I am a servant girl from the Prime Minister's Estate. I just finished washing my clothes and heard that the Prime Minister's Estate has a wonderful scenery so I left the small courtyard to enjoy its beautiful scenery."

"Impudent! You can actually casually enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Prime Minister's Residence?" The servant girl standing beside the beautiful woman said while looking at Bing'er coldly.

Bing'er raised her eyes and looked coldly at the servant girl. She said that this old lady was a bitch, but wasn't this the same as saying that she was more noble than others? At the end of the day, aren't you a servant girl?

The maid didn't think that Bing-Er would dare to look at her coldly. She was angry, but she didn't do anything because the beautiful woman was by her side.

"This place is where the masters play in their free time. It's best if you don't come here in the future." Do you understand? " The beautiful lady said to Bing-Er blandly.

"This servant understands. This servant will never come here again." Bing-Er hurriedly assured the beautiful woman. She was afraid that the beautiful woman would blame her.

The beautiful woman slowly stood up from the stone bench. "That's not necessary. As long as you don't disturb me while the masters are here, it's fine."

Bing-Er was surprised. The beautiful lady allowed her to come here again?

"Why aren't you thanking the woman?" The maid standing beside the beautiful woman looked at Bing'er with jealousy. This was a place where masters played on a daily basis. Even their master's personal maidservants were not allowed to enter or leave this place as they pleased. However, the madam actually allowed a lowly servant girl to come here!

"This servant thanks Madam." Bing-Er bowed to the woman again.

The beautiful lady did not pay any attention to Bing-Er. She turned around and walked down from the pavilion. The maidservant next to her hurried to support her. The two of them walked towards the garden not far away from the pavilion.

Bing-Er didn't get the order from the woman to stand up. She just stood there without moving.

The beautiful woman and the maid were in the garden admiring the flowers. They didn't even look at Bing-Er. The afternoon sun was scorching the land, and the air was extremely hot. The butterflies and bees were resting on the petals, while the fish were swimming back and forth on the surface of the water. The hot air was so hot that it was hard to breathe. Beads of sweat rolled down Bing'er's face and into her collar. Her dress was almost wet, but she still stayed in her half-squatting position in the pavilion. She had to do it because it was the only chance she had to get in contact with her mistress. As long as she could get in contact with her wife, she would get more contact in the future, and the more people she could contact, the more information she would get. At that time, she might even find out who killed Xiu-Er.
