Ling Shuang became more suspicious, but she did not stop.

Shen Wanwan closed the door and said, "I want to see your master right away. Can you take me there?"

Ling Shuang shook her head, "No."

Shen Wanwan glared at her, "I have something urgent to tell him right now!"

Ling Shuang still shook her head but did not explain.

Shen Wanwan was so anxious that she jumped up and down. No matter how she tried to persuade her, Ling Shuang remained unmoved. Shen Wanwan even wanted to give her some Xiang Wuhen poison.

"Miss Pei, there's no need to waste your time. The master said that he must ensure your safety. Taking you to the palace at this time may not be a good idea."

Ling Shuang looked serious and spoke with conviction.

She was a secret guard, and her duty was to always remember her master's orders. She had been sent away once before, and as an excellent secret guard, her pride would not allow her to make the same mistake.

Ling Shuang felt that "Miss Pei" was too cunning, and her lightness skills were better than hers. What if her claim of going to the prince's mansion was false, and she was actually trying to trick her into leaving the marquis' mansion, and then she sneaked back to find Marquis Pei without anyone noticing? Her dereliction of duty would be serious.

What's more, Feiying had said before that the prince had not returned from the palace, and he might be kneeling in front of the gate of the Yangxin Palace right now. Even if they really went to the prince's palace now, they wouldn't see him. So why bother?

Ling Shuang actually wanted to tell the other party about what happened to her prince in the palace, but "Pei Wanwan" was too cunning and kept trying to trick her. She knew very well that she could not withstand the other party's traps, so she simply didn't say a word, so that she could keep her mouth shut.

Otherwise you will just be a dead person.

Seeing that Ling Shuang was unmoved and turned around and walked out after saying just one sentence, Shen Wanwan was so angry that her teeth were itching. If she hadn't been worried about someone eavesdropping, she would have wanted to yell at her.

She had never seen such a cold and twisted secret guard. If she had the chance to get close to King Qin, the first thing she would do would be to ask him to fire Ling Shuang.

Feiyue is not as easy to deal with. She can be bribed by a bottle of Xiang Wuhen, and a prescription of Xiang Wuhen can make her almost recognize her new master.

The door opened with a creak, then gently closed. Shen Wanwan stared at the closed door in a daze. What was Ling Shuang's weakness?

However, facing Ling Shuang's unquestionable rejection, Shen Wanwan finally calmed down and realized that she had been impulsive just now.

The man in black is still in Jinhong Garden. If they enter or leave the mansion at this time, and happen to run into him by chance, wouldn't that be a big accident?

Shen Wanwan blinked, quickly re-bolted the door, and flashed into the space.

Pei Wanwan had left, but Shen Wanwan did not feel disappointed. She walked to the table and sat down, picked up a pen and started writing and drawing on the paper. When she wrote the last stroke, her expression was obviously relaxed compared to her previous impatience.

……

The next day.

As soon as the sky was getting light, Ling Shuang quietly left the Marquis' Mansion and returned to Prince Qin's Mansion. However, she did not see Gu Beichen, but only saw Xie Moxuan. She told Xie Moxuan everything that happened in the Marquis' Mansion that night.

After Xie Moxuan heard what had happened, he was shocked and even more frightened. "Hurry back to Wanning Garden and keep watch. Feiyue will be there later. From today on, the two of you cannot leave her side at the same time."

He didn't expect that Shen Wanwan would be so bold as to send Ling Shuang away and go alone to find out Pei Bailiang's past. Just hearing about this made him break out in a cold sweat. If something really happened, who knows how crazy that person would be.

Xie Moxuan was very sure that Shen Wanwan must have discovered something on Pei Bailiang, otherwise she would not have come back so frightened and so anxious to see Gu Beichen.

Now that Gu Beichen was still in the palace, he could only make the decision on his own. He sent someone to the Prime Minister's Residence to call Feiyue back, and let her sneak into the Marquis' Residence and follow Shen Wanwan as a personal maid.

Anyway, the mother and daughter had just returned from the manor, and the people they brought with them were all people who had brought back from the manor. It was just a strange face for the people in the marquis's mansion, so nothing would go wrong.

As for the Prime Minister's Mansion, Pei Wanwan herself is quite powerful and her body has already fully recovered. We just need to arrange someone to go there secretly to protect her.

There were not many women in their secret guard team, and only Ling Shuang and Fei Yue were relatively strong, otherwise they would not have been arranged to guard the two of them.

Now the Marquis' Mansion is obviously a den of wolves. It is indeed a bit stretched for Ling Shuang to be the only one guarding Shen Wanwan. However, if too many people are deployed, it will easily attract attention. Therefore, there is no rush to send people there.

Near noon, Gu Beichen finally returned from the palace. When he got off the carriage, he was carried into the Prince of Qin's Mansion.

There happened to be quite a few people watching outside the mansion gate, and they happened to see the faint bloodstains on his knees, and they happened to see that he was unable to walk and had to be carried into the mansion gate.

Xie Moxuan rushed over after hearing the noise. He only glanced at Gu Beichen's knees, winked at him, and had someone bring him into the mansion quickly, shouting, "Go get the mansion doctor."
