260 The Princess Was Harmed and Her Life Was Hanging By a Thread
Cao Duo immediately beamed with joy and took the purse. “Thank you, princess. This servant will go back and confirm it before coming to fetch you!”
Bing’er spat after sending off Cao Duo. “This old thing is really greedy.”
...“As long as I can get rid of Gu Qingxue, what’s wrong if I spend some money?” Princess Liuying reached out to take the tea that Bing’er handed over and took a sip.
Bing’er lowered her head obediently and said, “This servant is worried that Cao Duo will continue to extort money after the deed is done.”
“Silly girl, if anything happens to Gong Lingyu, as the person who takes care of the princess, would Mother Cao be able to escape responsibility?” Princess Liuying asked in return.
Bing’er suddenly realized, “No wonder the princess gave the task of taking care of the sixth princess to Mother Cao!”
Princess Liuying gently turned the teacup in her hand and said with a chuckle, “Everyone knows that Cao Duo was Madam Gong’s servant when Madam Gong was alive. If she failed to take care of the sixth princess this time and committed suicide due to self-blame, then isn’t everything going as planned?”
Bing’er hurriedly bowed to Princess Liuying. “Princess is wise!”
Cao Duo quickly returned to the courtyard house to check on the situation. After confirming that Gong Lingyu had yet to wake up, she hurriedly brought Princess Liuying to the courtyard house.
Inside the courtyard house, Rong Zhan was roasting sweet potatoes with the four children. Nine stood in the courtyard, cleaning up the dust in the courtyard house bit by bit.
Before someone knocked on the courtyard house’s main door, Rong Zhan and Nine seemed to have sensed something and simultaneously headed in the direction of the courtyard house’s main door.
“Ji Yan.” Rong Zhan gave the order, and Ji Yan, who had been guarding the roof all this time, flipped over and came down.
“Wow! Uncle Ji Yan, have you been hiding on our roof all this time? You’re so powerful! I want to go up to the roof too. Can you take me there?” Dumby excitedly looked at Ji Yan’s good skills, he almost wrote the word ‘worship’ on his face.
Ji Yan immediately felt great pressure and said weakly, “When there’s a chance next time, I’ll definitely bring Young Master up to the roof to take a look.”
“Go and see who’s coming.” Rong Zhan stretched out his hand to pull the restless little Dumby and instructed.
Ji Yan nodded and swiftly headed towards the courtyard house’s main door.
Rong Zhan clearly saw that when Ji Yan headed toward the main door, Nine, who originally wanted to go and investigate, stopped in his tracks.
It was very obvious that Nine’s sensitive perception was on par with his.
Looking at Nine’s back, Rong Zhan’s eyes were filled with a deeper meaning.
On this side, Ji Yan had just opened the main door of the courtyard house when he saw a woman wearing a cloak and gorgeous clothes being escorted by a large group of maids and attendants.
Ji Yan recognized the woman and somewhat surprisingly revealed her identity. “Princess?”
“Looks like Mother Cao is right. His Royal Highness is indeed here.” Princess Liuying’s face was solemn, and her eyes were filled with anxiety, “Young Master Ji Yan, is His Royal Highness here? I just received news that the princess has been harmed and her life is hanging by a thread. I have specially come to check on the situation. I would like to trouble you to pass on a message for me.”
Ji Yan looked at Princess Liuying coldly, not believing this woman’s nonsense at all.
Princess Liuying could be considered a regular guest of the prince regent’s manor. This woman liked the prince and would send out invitations to the prince regent’s manor for more than half the days of the month, inviting the prince to participate in various activities.
Naturally, the prince had never given any response. He did not even look at the invitation sent by Princess Liuying.
Who knew that they were not in Jing City anymore? After arriving at Dafu Village, Princess Liuying also came along. She simply could not leave.
Not to mention, the reason for her visit was so lame.
Lady Gu was personally taking care of the princess. How could the princess not be fine?
Rong Han heard a familiar and annoying voice. He stuck his head out to take a look and indeed saw Princess Liuying.
