If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!
Chapter 451: Who has it?
The Great Elder and the other four people stared at Cui'er who was standing in the middle of the room with nervous faces, their hearts in their throats.
Finding the whereabouts of the powder was the main purpose of their visit today, but they did not expect that it would involve another secret.
After half an incense stick of time, Cui'er, who had been thinking with her head down, finally raised her head slightly, as if she had thought of something.
"But what did you think of?" The second elder's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously.
"Well, I have no impression of that. I'm just a second-class girl. I can't be exposed to everything."
After a pause, Cui Er continued, "But the nanny who follows the eldest prince may know."
"Madam Zhang?" the Great Elder interrupted. Just now, when he was looking through Cui'er's resume, he glanced at the description of the nanny beside the eldest prince.
"Yes, it's Aunt Zhang. She has been serving the eldest prince personally, so she should know a lot of things."
The three elders and the tiger leader looked at each other and saw a hint of heaviness in each other's eyes.
As the personal nanny, it is still a question whether she knows what is going on. Even if she knows, whether she can speak up like Cui'er is still a question.
The tiger leader stood up and walked out of the house. He had to hurry to see if the other clan leaders had seen this nun.
The elder took a deep breath and continued to question Cui'er, determined to dig out as much knowledge as possible from her: "Then Cui'er, do you know what Madam wants to achieve urgently?"
Hearing this, Cui'er looked at the third elder sitting next to the first elder in some confusion. In comparison, she trusted this female elder who had saved her father's life more.
The Third Elder, who had sensed her uneasiness, soothed her gently, "It's okay. Just tell us everything you know. It doesn't matter if you're wrong. The more information you provide, the more confident we will be in handling our affairs."
"Moreover, this powder is of great importance. If it falls into the hands of someone with evil intentions and is used to harm the tribe, the consequences will be unimaginable. I don't think Cui'er would want anything to happen to her hometown, right?"
The third elder explained the situation to the girl with reason and appealed to her emotions, slowly removing her psychological defenses.
"Yeah, let me think about it." Cui'er's eyes were shining. She had always been suppressed in various ways and hadn't felt so needed for a long time.
"Don't worry, you can sit down and think about it. We're waiting."
Just then, her nanny came over to add more tea. The Third Elder motioned her to give the girl a bowl.
Cui'er was flattered and took it with both hands, swallowing it in big gulps.
It tastes good, it's really delicious! I haven't had such delicious tea for a long time!
After a few sips, she finished the bowl. Cui'er glanced at the teapot in the nanny's hand with eager eyes. Her pitiful look was like a puppy wagging its tail to please.
Seeing this, the nanny felt heartbroken, and hurried forward to pour her another bowl: "Drink slowly, child, nanny has more here."
A childless woman, when she gets old, can't stand seeing a well-behaved and sensible child looking at her with longing, as it will touch the softest part of her heart.
"When you leave the Shenxing Division, go and play with Mammy when you have time. Mammy will make you some delicious snacks, okay?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Cui'er will definitely go to play with Nanny." Cui'er nodded while drinking tea.
Only after she had finished three bowls of tea did Cui Er reluctantly refuse Mammy's offer to add more tea, "Mammy, Cui Er is done. Thank you very much!"
Turning to look at the three elders who were looking at her expectantly, Cui'er sorted out her thoughts and said, "I remember that Aunt Zhang had an only son. After they went to the capital together that time, they never came back."
"Where did they stay? How many people were there? What exactly did they go there for?"
"Well, there were only fifteen or sixteen people left there. Cui'er didn't know what they were doing."
The Second Elder suddenly thought of the six people that Feng Yijia and Chen San escorted back last time, "Are they the same group of people that were sent to the Shenxing Division a few months ago?"
Cui Er thought about the appearance of those people and the expression on Aunt Zhang's face when she saw them, and shook her head: "It shouldn't be. I saw Aunt Zhang secretly go to the leader once, and I don't know what she said."
"But since that day, Aunt Zhang has become increasingly nervous, and she often stares blankly towards the south."
Is there a chance? The three elders thought at the same time. The first elder winked at the third elder, and they had to discuss how to solve the problem. It was obviously not convenient for Cui'er to be here.
"Well, we understand what Cui'er said. You can go down with Madam to eat something and take a rest. By the way, let Madam accompany you to pack your things and come back to the tribe with us later, okay?"
Cui'er nodded excitedly. She never dreamed that she would be able to leave Shenxingsi in her lifetime.
Looking at Cui'er following the nanny out of the main hall, the great elder turned his gaze to the tiger leader who had just come in from outside.
"How is it? Did Aunt Zhang confess?"
The Tiger leader flipped through the thick stack of papers in his hand and shook his head. He had already carefully flipped through it twice and indeed did not see anything, not even a name named Zhang.
The room fell into silence, with only occasional low voices of discussion coming from outside.
"Well, let's wait a little longer. If she doesn't confess voluntarily in the end, we will take action."
If they waited until the last minute to find someone to come over, they would be completely at a disadvantage. So they didn't try it out easily.
Here, with the addition of tea and the simple exchange just now, plus the nanny's intentional or unintentional efforts to bring them closer, Cui'er and she quickly became close.
"Mammy, can I really go out with you today?" Cui'er followed the mammy and confirmed again and again, still unable to believe it.
"Yes, of course it's true. Didn't the three elders already agree to you? Let's go and pack our things." The nanny leaned over and patted her hands gently, intentionally raising her voice.
There were still quite a few people in the courtyard, some were waiting in line, some were showing off their prizes, and some were just taking a break to watch the fun.
There are also those who are hesitant and waiting, and Aunt Zhang mentioned by Cui'er is one of them.
As the eldest prince's personal nanny, she enjoyed the master's trust, and the eldest prince treated her well on weekdays.
She had been standing at the door of her room for a long time, watching people walk into the house and walk out happily.
On one hand, there is loyalty to the master, and on the other hand, there is yearning for herself and the longing for her son. It seems as if there are two little people in her heart, constantly pulling at her.
"As a servant, I must never let my master down!"
"This is the only chance to get news about your son. Are you willing to miss it?"
"This is the fate of being a servant. I must never betray my master! Besides, didn't my master leave a way out?"
"Tell me honestly, can that really work? Do you think the people in charge of the four major families in Haoyue are really vegetarians? Even if the emperor himself has no male heir, what about the other royal families? Only when all the royal families are extinct can a bastard have his turn."
"you......"
"Am I wrong? Even if it happens, will the child dare to acknowledge the eldest prince? Will he dare to reveal his origins?"
......
Word by word, back and forth, the questioning was soul-searching, and the answer gradually surfaced. Aunt Zhang's face turned pale.
In the former eldest prince's mansion in front, except for the eldest prince himself who was under guard, only the princess and she were still holding on. The young masters were constantly making noise, and it was unknown how long the princess could hold on.
At this moment, the conversation between Cui'er and the nanny happened to reach her ears, making her stiffen all over and open her eyes wide in disbelief.
"Cui'er, what did you say just now? Who took you out of Shenxingsi?" Grabbing Cui'er who was about to enter the door, Nanny Zhang asked sternly.
The two of them were arranged to stay in the same room, and to enter they had to pass by Nanny Zhang who was standing at the door.
It has been a long time since I have seen her speak so harshly. It was as if I saw her disciplining disobedient little maids and servants in the Grand Prince's Mansion in the past. She was mighty and domineering, yet gentle, which made Cui'er dazed for a moment.
"Madam Zhang," Cui'er couldn't help but hug her back with the strength of her hand, "Cui'er, I haven't seen you so strong and energetic for a long time."
