Lin Wan'er didn't look up, but still felt creepy.
She knew Lu Jingting too well. He seemed affectionate but was actually the most ruthless. Just like Xiyu back then, who refused to be a concubine and was sold to a brothel by the prince.
If it weren't for Lu Ze and Lu Yuan, let alone staying in Shou'an Hall, I would have lost my life long ago.
Even if he doesn't treat her as a human being, she has to obey him without any bottom line. Only in this way can she survive.
A few days later, Lin Wan'er met Hongyu in the garden.
"Should I call you Wanyu or 'Miss Cousin'?"
Hongyu stared at Lin Wan'er with an unfriendly look.
Lin Wan'er also looked at Hongyu with displeasure, "The name is nothing, but Aunt Hong should be careful about the fetus in her belly. If something happens, wouldn't it be a false alarm?"
Hongyu smiled and touched her belly. "I am the Crown Prince's concubine with a title and status. Regardless of whether the baby in my belly is a boy or a girl, I am the legitimate young master or young lady of the mansion. As for your children, even if they are the Crown Prince's biological children, they are still adopted as collateral descendants. There is still a level of difference after all."
"you!"
"Hey, cousin, calm down, don't faint again. I'm in a double position now, and I can't hold you."
Hongyu waved her handkerchief and rolled her eyes at Lin Wan'er.
"But don't worry. Considering that we were both personal servants of the prince, I will definitely yell at the servants planting trees over there and ask them to help send you back to Shou'an Hall."
Lin Wan'er's face changed, and just as she was about to curse back, she saw Xiao Yunxi walking towards them with her maid in the distance.
She said viciously, "Just wait for me!" and ran away quickly, as if she was escaping in a panic.
After Xiao Yunxi came over, she called Hongyu who was bowing and asked, "What were you and her talking about?"
Hongyu smiled lightly and said, "Nothing, we exchanged a few insults, but you didn't insult me, so you ran away."
Xiao Yunxi shook her head helplessly, "Your belly is very precious now, be careful."
"Yes, I understand."
The two of them sat together in the pavilion, enjoying the flowers and drinking tea, feeling very comfortable.
But at this time, the atmosphere in Shou'an Hall was solemn.
"Mother, this morning, when your daughter-in-law was returning from greeting you, she found this filthy thing not far from your yard."
Ruan handed the old lady an object wrapped in a handkerchief.
The old lady took it suspiciously, opened it and saw that it was actually a sachet of sweet almonds with nonsense written on it!
The old lady was so frightened that she almost screamed.
How could such a vulgar thing appear openly in the palace and so close to Shou'an Hall?
If this were to get out, the women in the Zhennan Palace would no longer be able to live as human beings, and she would be stabbed in the back. If the old prince knew about it, he would beat her to death!
No matter how confused Ruan was, she knew the importance of this matter and looked at the old lady nervously, "Mother, what should we do?"
"Put it away first," the old lady instructed Nanny Li in a deep voice.
Nanny Li also felt disgusted and glanced at the side room inconspicuously. It must be that slave girl's.
"Who else knows about this?"
Ruan thought for a moment and said, "Just my daughter-in-law and two personal maids, and then you and Nanny Li."
"Then don't let anyone else know."
"Aren't you going to find out who it is?" Ruan was puzzled.
The old lady sighed in disappointment, "Among the several female masters in the mansion, your two illegitimate daughters-in-law were driven to Nianci Temple to chant sutras. They have been gone for more than half a year. It must not be them."
"The only ones left are me, you, and the princess. It's impossible for you, it's impossible for me, and Xiao Yunxi and Jing Ting haven't even consummated their marriages. It's even more impossible for a virgin like me."
"Looking at the fabric of the sachet, it's not expensive. Ordinary maids and old women can still afford it. There are about a hundred people in the mansion, so it's not easy to check." Ruan frowned in embarrassment.
Having said that, the old lady suddenly remembered that Nanny Li had previously reported about Lu Jingting and Lin Wan'er having a secret meeting.
She already had an idea in her mind, it was almost certain that it was that bitch Lin Wan'er!
Seeing that Ruan was still frowning in thought, the old lady closed her eyes weakly, wondering what sin she must have committed in her previous life to have met such a stupid daughter-in-law in this life.
"Mother, what should we do next?" Ruan really couldn't think of a solution and asked hesitantly.
"It's nothing. Just keep your mouth shut and that of your maidservant. Don't let any word get out."
"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows. But fortunately, it was discovered today. If the Dong family found out after entering the mansion, it would be a huge disaster."
Ruan said it unintentionally, but the old lady took it seriously. When she thought of that scene, her scalp suddenly tingled.
She immediately ordered Li Ma Ma with a sullen face, "Go to Feiyu Pavilion and explain the whole story to Xiao Yunxi, and ask her to clean up the house."
"No, you go to Lin Wan'er's room first and search it thoroughly inside and out. Don't leave any dirty things behind. Then go to Feiyu Pavilion and pass on the message."
After saying this, the old lady gave Nanny Li a look, and Nanny Li immediately understood what she meant and put the sachet into her sleeve without anyone noticing.
"Yes, old slave, go right away."
Nanny Li used the excuse that the old lady had lost an important piece of jewelry and turned Lin Wan'er's room upside down.
Lin Wan'er stood at the door with a calm expression, "Madam, have you finished your examination? I'm tired and want to rest."
Nanny Li threw the clothes in her hands to the ground and sneered, "Young lady, do you really think of yourself as a 'cousin'?"
"This old servant advises you to take it easy and stop using those despicable means to seduce the prince!"
"Haha, Nanny Li has to tell the prince about this. Wan'er doesn't dare to respond!"
After saying that, Lin Wan'er raised her slender hand and said, "Madam, please leave. I need to rest."
Nanny Li had no choice but to leave and go to Feiyu Pavilion to pass on the message.
Xiao Yunxi was stunned for a moment when she heard the news. The reason was simple: she didn't understand what the Hehuan sachet was.
Seeing Xiao Yunxi's confused look, Nanny Li was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
He just told Xiao Yunxi to ask Hongyu or Cuiwei, and then ran out quickly under the pretext of serving the old lady her meal.
"Strange," Chun Xiao looked at Li Ma's back, "Why is this old ma's face so red?"
"It sounds like this 'Albizia Julibrissin Sachet' is not a good item." Xia He curled her lips.
Xiao Yunxi had long since retracted her confused and dazed look, and a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.
In her previous life, Lu Ze first used this thing to slander her for being restless, and then set a trap for her, completely dooming her!
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Chun Xiao looked at Xiao Yunxi worriedly.
"Nothing." Xiao Yunxi came back to her senses, "This thing can destroy a woman's innocence. Do you think it's a big deal?"
"what?!"
Xia He and Chun Xiao were both unmarried girls, so naturally they had no idea what the cassia sachet was.
"The princess picked me up on the road today. If someone 'accidentally saw me' in Feiyu Pavilion someday, I would have to die to prove my innocence."
Xiao Yunxi took a deep breath and ordered Xia He and Chun Xiao: "After nightfall, you take a few secret guards and search Feiyu Pavilion from top to bottom, even the bottom of the flower pots, to see if there is anything extra."
"Yes!"
