The cannon fodder female supporting role wants to run away, and the madly criticizing prince is red-

Gu Huai's face flushed with joy, making his delicate face even more handsome.

"Then I'll study for a while longer, and then go to see her secretly at night. It won't be noticed by anyone, so no one should know."

Dong Qing said, "My Lord, you should study first. We can talk about these things in the evening."

What Nanny Hong secretly inquired about was discovered by Cheng Jiayao.

It was discovered by the sharp-eyed March.

She quickly told Cheng Jiayao about this.

"Madame Hong is actually asking about my elder brother? Why is she asking about my elder brother? Did she hear some rumors?"

Cheng Jiayao turned around warily and asked Eryue and Sanyue beside her with cold eyes.

Her nerves were tense like a bow and her calves were throbbing with pain.

March shook her head, "I don't know."

February was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid not."

"Miss, you know that you have bribed the servants in the mansion with money. It is definitely not them. They will not do such a thing as betraying their master casually."

Cheng Jiayao, "Then why is she asking? Someone must have said it leaked out, so she came here to inquire."

"Who did Madam Hong ask? Did that person tell her the truth? If I knew who betrayed me, I would never let her go."

A vicious look flashed in Cheng Jiayao's eyes, and Er Yue was startled.

March lowered her head even more. She didn't dare to have any extra thoughts or words.

Such a lady is a bit scary.

She knew she was not someone who could be bullied.

Er Yue came out and said, "I know who that girl is?"

"Baicao, stand up!"

A timid maid stood up. She was thin and small, wearing a very old blue cloth jacket.

He was very short, but had a humble, forced smile on his face.

Er Yue raised her voice and said, "Baicao, please tell me what you said to Madam Hong. Tell me every word clearly."

"Baicao dare not lie." Baicao bowed to Cheng Jiayao and Eryue, and stammered, "When Nanny Hong came to ask me, I said I didn't know."

"You do not know?"

"Did you really say that?" Cheng Jiayao asked quickly.

Baicao nodded, looking at the ground with timid eyes.

She continued, "Sisters Eryue and Sanyue have already made it very clear this morning. I dare not do it again. Besides, I don't know anything about the eldest brother of the Crown Prince's Consort, and it's even worse to spread it randomly. I'm just a maid, how dare I spread rumors about my master."

Baicao's words made Cheng Jiayao very satisfied.

She smiled and said, "Yes, this girl is sensible and won't gossip about her master."

"Feiyue, transfer her to my side to serve me. I am in need of a girl like you."

Baicao knelt down quickly, kowtowed to Cheng Jiayao, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Madam. I will serve you well in the future!"

Cheng Jiayao smiled and said, "It seems that Nanny Hong didn't ask anything. Then I feel relieved."

"However, you two must take good care of the maids under you. Don't let such things happen again. If she does it again, there will be no place for her in this mansion!"

"Yes!" February and March lowered their heads and shouted in unison.

"It's really strange. Didn't people say that gossip about the Crown Prince's wife was spreading in the mansion? I haven't heard any of this gossip until now." Nanny Hong put her hands on her waist and took out an apricot-red handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe the sweat off her neck.

"I asked the two maids in Xiaoxiang Garden. They said they didn't know."

"Then how can I report to the Madam when I get back? I don't even know what happened at the Madam's home."

Nanny Hong took a walk around Xiaoxiang Garden and came back. When Yu heard about this, she couldn't help but feel curious.

"It's really strange! Something happened in Jiayao's family, and it was said that the news reached the Marquis' Mansion, but you didn't find out about it. It's really strange."

"Is it possible that someone doesn't want us to know about this? Who is stopping this?"

Madam Hong shook her head, "I don't know."

"You can't even find out anything about this matter." Yu sighed, "I really don't know what to say to you. Let's call Jiayao over and ask her again to see if she is willing to tell us."

Cheng Jiayao was summoned to the presence of Madam Yu. She looked at Madam Yu and Madam Hong curiously, and then greeted Madam Yu meekly. "I greet you, mother. I wonder if you have asked me to come to your side. Is there anything you want me to do?"

"My daughter-in-law will obey your orders."

Yu said to her, "I know everything."

understood?

Cheng Jiayao showed a surprised expression, "I wonder what mother knows?"

"Something happened at your home."

Cheng Jiayao's heart skipped a beat and she lowered her head awkwardly, reaching out to brush a strand of hair from her face to hide her facial expression.

"Mother, mother, where did you hear that from?"

How could Yu know about this?

Could it be that the previous guess was confirmed and the matter had been passed on to her ears through the maids' mouths?

No, just now Yu asked Nanny Hong to come to her courtyard and ask the servants.

In other words, Yu knew that something had happened in her family, but she didn't know what it was.

Cheng Jiayao felt relieved immediately.

As a result, she immediately made up her mind.

Cheng Jiayao bit her lip, looking guilty, "I still let mother know. I didn't want her to know about this because I didn't want her to worry."

Yu looked at her with concern, "I know everything."

"You don't want me to worry, I know that. You are the most filial child."

Cheng Jiayao quickly replied: "That's exactly what my daughter-in-law thought."

"My elder brother is ill and I am very worried."

After hearing this, Yu said in deep thought, "So that's what happened. Your elder brother is ill. You must be worried. But why didn't you tell me about such a small matter? If it's a serious illness, I'll ask the imperial physician in the palace to treat your elder brother."

Cheng Jiayao lowered her head and said humbly, "It's not a serious illness. I just didn't know what I touched a few days ago, and I got a rash all over my body. It's very scary."

"Because it's not a big deal, I didn't tell my mother. I hope my mother won't blame her daughter-in-law."

"How could I blame you?" Yu pulled Cheng Jiayao and asked her to sit next to her.

"Is this disease some kind of pollinosis or dust disease? This disease can be contracted anywhere and at any time. People are bound to come into contact with flowers and plants outside. It is because of this that we get sick and the cause cannot be found for a while. This disease is also quite difficult to treat."

Cheng Jiayao said, "It is because of this disease that I am worried. My mother has been crying all day because of this matter. That's why I am worried."

After talking with Yu for a while, Cheng Jiayao finally managed to deal with her and felt relieved.

Cheng Jiayao returned to Xiaoxiang Garden with a very unhappy look on her face.

She clenched her fists and said, "Who on earth told Madam about this? This person is clearly against me!"

"How brave!"

Er Yue put down the gorgeous hibiscus in her hand and said, "It must be Aunt Lin. She is eager for you to leave the Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible, and wants to destroy your position in the Madam's heart."
