She listened for a while but didn’t dare to continue for long in fear that the people inside would discover her.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she raised her head, she saw a woman standing in front of her. Since the woman was carrying a light, she couldn’t see her face, which made her especially scared. She fell to the ground and was about to scream when someone covered her mouth and dragged her away.

An Shi, who was sitting on the roof basking under the moonlight, jumped off the roof. He looked at the dark and fat shadow beside Yuchan. Trembling in fear, she scurried back to Liuchun Pavilion.

“What do you think she would do?”

Yuchan didn’t bother to look at him. “How would I know? Why don’t you go and see for yourself.” After speaking, she went back inside.

An Shi touched his nose. With a flash, the person disappeared.

Tao Hong led the person in, and as she walked she said, “Side Consort is waiting inside.”

A short chubby woman beside her nodded, rubbing her hands continuously. If Yaoniang was here, she would be able to recognize her. This person was a woman who worked in the small kitchen doing miscellaneous tasks and her surname was Xue. She was a lazy woman who didn’t like to do her job but to argue with others. Mommy Mo tried to chase her away several times, but it was all in vain.

It’s also that Mommy Mo didn’t completely want to chase her away. This Old Lady Xue has an ill husband and a son who was a good-for-nothing. The family relied on her to make all the money. If she was chased out, her family would not have a good end. So Mommy Mo could only turn a blind eye, acting as if she didn’t see anything.

On the couch by the window, laid Side Consort Hu dressed in bright red gauze and a pair of wide-leg soft silk pants. Her long black hair draped behind her and she covered her mouth with a slender hand as she yawned.

She didn’t even look at Old Lady Xue. “Speak.”

Then Old Lady Xue began to describe the scene vividly.

Side Consort Hu, who had been lazing around, sat up straight halfway through. When Old Lady Xue finally stopped speaking, she asked with a strange look, “You are not lying to me?”

Old Lady Xue clasped her hands together and said, “Your highness, with your orders, even if you gave this servant ten guts, this servant dares not lie to you.”

“So Nanny Su is having an affair and the person she is having an affair with is a guard?” Side Consort Hu had given the orders to investigate, but normally with this kind of matter, it wouldn’t be easy to actually find anything. She didn’t bother to care too much about this, but merely gave orders for someone to listen by the wall at night. Unexpectedly, she discovered such a big secret on the very first day.

But- a guard?

As if she heard Side Consort Hu’s doubt, Old Lady Xue nodded repeatedly. “Yes, he was a guard. As for who exactly he was, this old servant couldn’t tell.” Then she smacked her lips as if regretting not knowing who it was.

Side Consort Hu creased her eyebrows and was curious. “Why are you so sure that it was a guard!? Did you see it?”

Old Lady Xue flushed with a bashful look and her eyes flashed before she inched closer. She whispered a few words to Side Consort Hu.

She had thought that Side Consort Hu would be annoyed, and even if she was not annoyed, she would still scold her. Yet the other party was very calm as if she didn’t feel that the words made her ears dirty. Thinking about the rumour in the mansion about the origin of the other party, there was a slight contempt in the eyes of Old Lady Xue.

“Unexpectedly, she is such a shameless little slut!” cursed Side Consort Hu. She looked up at Old Lady Xue, and almost fainted from the smell of the other person’s body. She covered her nose, fanning the air with disgust on her face, and said to Tao Hong, “Give her the reward then send her out.”

Tao Hong took out a silver coin from her sleeve and handed it over. Touching the heavy silver, Old Lady Xue smiled so wide that her eyes turned into slits, and she followed Tao Hong out.

After a short while, Tao Hong returned and asked, “Your highness, that Nanny Su…”

“It’s only a guard!” Without guessing, Side Consort Hu knew where the guard was from. He must be someone working next to Jin Wang. Whenever Jin Wamg came to Liuchun Pavilion, he was always surrounded by guards. Maybe that’s when that slutty nanny gets on with it with the guard.

But on second thought, this Nanny Su was so dishonest. If she remained in the small courtyard, what if she seduced His Highness? After all, Jin Wang went to the small courtyard quite often, and she served the little princess. She would be like the waterfront pavilion getting the moonlight first.

“No, this mustn’t remain like this.”

When Jin Wang came, Consort Hu was still a little nervous.

But Jin Wang only sat there, drinking tea as always, and Fucheng even offered him a book to read. Jin Wang started to read, without even glancing over at herself. Knowing that there was little hope, Side Consort Hu, who had been dressed up for the night, felt anger rising in her heart.

But when her eyes fell on the other’s handsome face, her anger suddenly disappeared. Instead, it was replaced with sorrow.

Sure enough, after sitting for almost half an hour, Jin Wang quietly took Fucheng away.

In the courtyard, guards stood in an inconspicuous corner like stone statues. At night, the entire Liuchun Pavilion was still and silent like a ghost town.

In the middle of the night, a sudden scream sounded, and lights were immediately turned on.

Guards moved extremely fast and rushed to the main room.

The leader of the guards was about to order his men to barge inside when the door was opened. Tao Hong walked out and said tremblingly, “Guard Wang, the Side Consort saw a dark shadow flashing by the window. His Highness asked you to take someone to go have a look.”

“Dark shadow?”

Tao Hong nodded.

At this time, Side Consort Hu walked out of the door. Her long hair draped behind her, but her clothes were neat.

She angrily said, “What dark shadow? It’s an assassin! Why haven’t you gone to check on the little princess?!”

As soon as the little princess was involved, everyone couldn’t help getting nervous. Guard Wang didn’t bother to ask for details, but leading his men in a hurry, they rushed to the small courtyard.

Side Consort Hu, who loves her daughter, was anxious and couldn’t sleep at all. Ordering some guards for protection, she followed after them.
