The old woman who was speaking was none other than Nanny Zhong, Liang Yanzhi's personal servant. Actually, she was a distant relative of the wife of Marquis Zhong from her mother's family.

Earlier, she followed Mrs. Zhong into the Marquis' Mansion as a dowry, and was later transferred to serve the second young lady, Liang Yanzhi.

Mrs. Zhong was worried that her daughter would be bullied after marrying into the Duke of Huguo's mansion, so she sent Nanny Zhong to be the managing nanny and stay by her side.

Now that Liang Yanzhi was divorced and sent back to the Marquis' Mansion, she followed her back.

But no one expected that she had been bribed by the Li family three months ago.

The person who was called "Master" by Nanny Zhong at this time was Li Changfeng's eldest son Li Tianlin.

He came here specifically to find out about this strange Mojiu incident.

This person was extremely suspicious. As soon as he heard the whole story, he felt that this was a trap set by Shi Anxia. "Princess Haiyan has always been protected by people sent by her husband. How could she let your young lady snatch things and run away right under her nose? Did your young lady grow eight legs or wings and can fly?"

As soon as he came up, Li Tianlin gave Nanny Zhong a warning, thinking that what she said was unreliable, "Isn't it just for show? Besides, anyone can come in and out of the Shangshu Mansion at will?"

Nanny Zhong was not happy to hear this. She was the one who spread the news, and she deserved the most credit for this matter. "Master, you have asked the right person. It is said that the princess really brought people with her that day, but when she arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, she withdrew the people. Guess why?"

Li Tianlin was a little impatient, "Just say it!"

Seeing that the other party had no intention of interacting, Nanny Zhong had to speak directly, "The Shangshu Mansion is poor! You don't know that the eldest son-in-law of our Zhongli Marquis Mansion sounds glorious, and he is the Shangshu. But he is poor, he has always been poor. If he was not poor, my second young lady would not refuse to marry him."

"Tell the important point!"

"Oh. The point is that the Shangshu Mansion can't afford servants. The only two servants in the mansion were brought from Huizhou, a maid and a girl, a grandparent and grandchild. You know, our eldest brother-in-law just took office, and the house was just granted. Originally, the eldest daughter and the eldest brother-in-law planned to slowly settle in the Shangshu Mansion, and first lived in the Zhongli Marquis Mansion for half a year, and the yard was cleaned up. In the end, didn't it become a joke? Our second daughter fell in love with her brother-in-law and was divorced and returned to her parents' home. Now, the eldest daughter and the eldest brother-in-law can no longer stay in the Marquis Mansion, and moved to the Shangshu Mansion overnight. If you have the ability, go to the Shangshu Mansion now and take a look. The yard at the entrance is still overgrown with weeds."

Li Tianlin sneered, "I don't have the ability to enter the Shangshu Mansion."

Aunt Zhong gently slapped her mouth and said, "Hey, look at my mouth! Please forgive me. Do you want to continue?"

Li Tianlin leaned back on the chair, lifted the corner of his robe, and lay down to listen, "Go ahead."

Nanny Zhong stood in front of him, bending slightly as she continued, "Generally speaking, the Shangshu Mansion doesn't have many servants, not even a doorman for the time being. But there may be one in the next few days. After that incident, the eldest brother-in-law should have arranged it. But there was really no one on the day of the incident. The princess is also a considerate person. She was worried that her grand trip would scare the Shangshu's wife. You know, although our eldest daughter is the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, she has been in Huizhou for more than ten years and has long been far away from the capital. To put it bluntly, she is just a woman who has never seen the world."

"Okay, stop talking about your eldest daughter. I want to know how your second daughter ran away? Is the box of ink pigeons really gone? Was it swapped by the princess?"

In Li Tianlin's eyes, the princess was a shrewd person. Otherwise, how could Huang Wanqian and the others be so coaxed by her?

"It's impossible to switch the box." Nanny Zhong guaranteed, "I saw with my own eyes that the Second Miss threw the box into the lotus pond in panic, and I also saw with my own eyes that the princess's people fished the box out."

Li Tianlin didn't say anything, but listened carefully.

Nanny Zhong continued to talk, "As for how the second young lady ran away, it was because the eldest young lady was pregnant, and the princess's maid had to take care of the eldest young lady and chase her, so didn't she get lost?"

She suddenly thought of something, paused, bent down mysteriously, and lowered her voice, "Also, my second young lady took some medicine to strengthen her courage before she went out, so she dared to run to the Shangshu Mansion and act wild. I guess she took a lot, so she ran very fast. Others don't know the effect of the medicine, but don't you know it?"

"That's not medicine, it's a tonic." Li Tianlin couldn't stand people saying that Fushou Paste was medicine.

Most medicines are poisonous, but that thing is not poisonous, it is all essence... Because in his eyes, it is like flowing silver.

"Yes, yes, it's a tonic. Tonic is also medicine! Master! Do you believe what I said now?" Nanny Zhong spoke more and more smoothly. "The second young lady ran fast, and the princess's maid didn't have enough strength to catch up, so she ran away, didn't she?"

"Just these two people chasing? No one else?" Li Tianlin still didn't believe it.

"No more, no more. Didn't I just tell you that the princess has dismissed all the people and only left a personal maid to serve. There is also a groom and a servant, all of whom are staying in the backyard."

"You know so much about it?"

Nanny Zhong straightened her back and said, "This old servant either won't agree, or if he agrees to change masters, he must be loyal and reliable."

Li Tianlin sneered in his heart but did not show it on his face.

Then the old woman beamed with joy, "The princess has few people with her, and she probably doesn't dare to send everyone out to chase. What if someone harms the princess? The Shangshu Mansion is like a sieve. Oh, by the way, the princess and her husband are still angry about this."

"Why do you think so?" Li Tianlin was more interested in this matter.

After all, the princess is recognized by the Empress Dowager as the real Phoenix Girl. She is very different from the fake Phoenix Girl who eats and drinks for free and only annoys people in the mansion.

If there was a rift between the princess and her husband, they would have a much greater chance.

Although this woman is already married, what does it matter? She is just a lucky charm, not something I will really marry and love as a treasure.

Seeing her mistress's interest, Nanny Zhong began to tell the story earnestly, "There was a big commotion that day, but the prince consort didn't even come to the mansion to see the princess. Later, when they heard that the black dove box had been found, the prince consort did come to take the princess back, but his face was as cold as ice chips. The poor princess sat by the lotus pond for a whole day and night, watching people salvage the box. Her little face became thinner."

When Li Tianlin heard that the real Phoenix Girl's "little face has become thinner", he thought of the increasingly round face of the fake Phoenix Girl in the mansion... That fat guy! He ate eight pancakes in the morning.

He even suspected that the guy had been abused and never had enough to eat since he was a child in the Marquis' Mansion, tsk!

Distracted!

Nanny Zhong didn't notice anything at all and thought her mistress was listening intently. "I heard the princess's maids discussing privately, saying that the prince consort had originally arranged people. But the princess felt that the prince consort was too controlling and restricted her freedom, so she withdrew all the people, both openly and secretly..."
