Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 257 Discovering Musk and the Maid
After the Fifth Princess sorted out the auction, the Fourth Prince and Jiang Chen also returned to the capital. In fact, it was only a dozen days, Guaerjia's body had been buried, and Nian Shilan and Qi Yuebin had also been recuperating for quite some time.
The only twist was when Nian Shilan knew that the "real murderer" was Guaerjia, she wanted to force herself to open the coffin and whip the corpse, but was persuaded by the old lady. Opening the coffin and whipping the corpse was an insult, and the Guaerjia clan was indeed insignificant in Prince Yong's mansion, but there were still living people in the Guaerjia clan.
The Fourth Prince had lost a lot of weight due to his efforts in disaster relief. He took good care of himself for a few days before he had the energy to deal with the affairs of the mansion. The Fourth Prince and Yi Xiu came to Lanyun Villa hand in hand. Nian Shilan was still in confinement and could not get out of bed, so they could only talk across the screen.
Nian Shilan looked at the Fourth Prince with longing through the blurry screen. She began to sob before she spoke, "I see that the prince has become much thinner. I believe he must have suffered a lot these days while away from home."
The Fourth Prince did not expect that the first thing Nian Shilan said to him was not to complain, but to show concern for him. He could not help but said softly, "My Lord, I see that Shilan has become thinner."
Nian Shilan wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said with understanding, "Your Highness, business is more important."
This made the Fourth Prince feel even more guilty. He couldn't bear to tell the truth and hurt Nian Shilan's heart, so he could only say to Yixiu, "Please tell me the cause and process of the incident."
In fact, Nian Shilan had already found out everything, but in order to show weakness in front of the Fourth Prince, she still listened to Yixiu patiently.
Yixiu raised her eyebrows. Did you forget what you did after a while of flirting? Don't worry, I will definitely help you recall it. Yixiu said sadly, "Sister Nian suffered a disaster because the medicine brought by Concubine Qi had problems. I wanted to follow this clue to investigate, but I didn't expect Concubine Qi to suffer a disaster as well."
At this point, Yixiu couldn't help but press the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, as if she was in grief.
The Fourth Prince clenched his fists. He had not expected that Qi was also pregnant. If he had known that Qi was pregnant, he would have let Qi harm Nian Shilan. Otherwise, with one child for the Nian family and one child for the Qi family, wouldn't this be the end of the Fourth Prince's life?
Nian Shilan felt that the Fourth Prince was in a low mood, and she didn't want Qi Yuebin to win the Fourth Prince's sympathy, so she said angrily, "Speaking of Qi Shufujin, she is really a traitor. I thought she at least treated Shilan sincerely, but I didn't expect..."
The Fourth Prince remained silent, so Yixiu had to speak up, "Oh, Sister Nian, did you know something?"
Nian Shilan asked Songzhi to come in, and Songzhi came in carrying a box and a sachet.
The Fourth Prince asked uncertainly, "What is this?"
Songzhi's eyes were slightly red. "Please ask the prince's wife to make a decision for my master. That day, my master went to question Qi Shufu. In her panic, I discovered the truth about Qi Shufu. The sachet she carried with her was made of musk. I took the opportunity to find the sachet and the box of musk carried by Qi Shufu in Wangshu Pavilion."
How could Songzhi be so smart? The discovery of Musk started from the day when a little maid rushed out and told Nian Shilan that Qi Yuebin was a murderous person.
Seeing that the little maid was loyal to her master, Nian Shilan promoted her to work with Songzhi.
Although Songzhi was afraid of the little maid's gossip, she still brought the little maid to her side because of Nian Shilan's order. Including when Nian Shilan went to trouble Qi Yuebin, Songzhi Lingzhi controlled Qi Yuebin's personal maid, and the little maid helped Nian Shilan to hold Qi Yuebin down.
This made Songzhi dislike the little maid even more. However, when Nian Shilan was receiving the imperial physician's diagnosis, the little maid said something to Songzhi, "Sister Songzhi, when I was young, my family practiced medicine. Although I did not learn my father's medical skills, I have a good nose and can smell unnoticed smells."
Songzhi asked doubtfully, "What do you smell?"
The maid leaned close to Songzhi's ear and said, "I smell a musky scent on Concubine Qi's body."
This conclusion made Songzhi's eyes widen. She grabbed the little maid's arm and said seriously, "Don't say such nonsense."
The little maidservant swore to the heavens, "This matter is of great importance. How dare I say such nonsense? If you believe me, please search Wangshu Pavilion while it is in chaos. I don't believe there will be no traces."
Songzhi hated Qi Yuebin as much as she was loyal to Nian Shilan. She asked Lingzhi to look after Nian Shilan while she took the maid to search Wangshu Pavilion. As expected, in addition to the sachet that Qi Yuebin carefully put away, there was also a box of musk hidden very secretly.
Qi Yuebin was still struggling on the bed, not knowing that the most unfavorable evidence against him had been found by Songzhi. In fact, it was not that Qi Yuebin was not careful. When something happened, no one in Wangshu Pavilion was allowed to move around, and Qi Yuebin was not given time to deal with the matter.
Songzhi was happy to get the things, but she was also more afraid of the little maid. She smiled with a knife in her eyes, "Today, you have made the greatest contribution. When the master finds out, he will definitely reward you. Is there anything you want?"
The little maid knew that it was time for her to withdraw, so she acted hesitantly.
Songzhi knew in her heart that this was a request that was difficult to say out loud, so she said kindly, "Our master has no complaints about his servants. Just tell us what you want, and the master won't blame you." It would be best if you made a request that displeased Nian Shilan, otherwise you would be kicked out of Lanyun Villa.
The little maidservant said bravely, "My family fell into poverty, so I had to enter the palace as a slave. In fact, there are people waiting outside. If Sister Songzhi helps me, everything that happened today will be all thanks to you." After all, except Songzhi, no one saw the role of the little maidservant.
Songzhi's eyes rolled, her smile became more genuine, and she asked tentatively, "I wonder which thoughtful person has won my sister's heart so early?"
The little maid blushed and answered, "It was a childhood engagement. I thought it would no longer count since our family has fallen on hard times, but I didn't expect him to be willing to abide by the agreement between the two families. He also said that he would take me back to my hometown."
Songzhi congratulated and said, "Sister, you can get such a good marriage, which shows that our ancestors have blessed you. You will surely have good fortune in the future." This is what it means to give in.
The little maid said sincerely, "That's why I beg you to help me, sister. I just want to leave the house as soon as possible and live with someone." She didn't want to stand out in front of Nian Shilan, otherwise what if Nian Shilan thought she was useful and kept her?
Songzhi pretended to be regretful, "If you miss the master's favor, you will regret it later." Then she added, "However, since there is really someone waiting for you, I can't ruin your marriage. I will go and talk to the master about this matter, and then you can take the reward money and leave the house happily.
