Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 104: The Whereabouts of the Two Private Maids

Soon after, Yue Wenhan came back. He came in and sat down on a chair quietly with a sullen face.

"Cousin, did you find out anything?" Qu Moying raised her eyes to look at him and asked, feeling a bit nervous. The two maids they were investigating were Wei Yu and Xie Feng, and Xie Feng was the one who took her to the Linyuan Pavilion on the night she died.

"The Crown Princess brought two private maids with her when she married into the Eastern Palace. One of them went missing on the wedding night when assassins sneaked into the Eastern Palace and caused chaos. No one knows if she is still alive. The other one had been helping Princess Ji take care of the Crown Princess. After the Crown Princess passed away, she said she was willing to work for Princess Ji," Yue Wenhan said in a flat voice.

"Which one went missing?" His words made Qu Moying feel unsettled. She didn't even notice her voice was trembling.

"The one called Wei Yu. The Crown Prince's wedding was very chaotic since assassins sneaked into the Eastern Palace and hurt the Crown Prince. The Crown Princess was even severely injured for protecting the Crown Prince. No one could notice a maid on a night like that. However, some other people said that she fell into the lake and got drowned that night."

Yue Wenhan nodded.

"Fell into the lake and got drowned?" Qu Moying had to clench her fists to suppress the shock and anger in her heart. The one who fell into the lake and got drowned was actually her. But, did that mean Wei Yu also died on that night?

"Yes, that's what I was told just now. But someone also said Wei Yu was killed by an assassin, and some said she died outside the Eastern Palace. Anyway, no one has a certain answer," said Yue Wenhan. At first, he talked to several servants, but no one dared to answer his questions. After he told them he was the Crown Princess's cousin, they finally started to say something.

However, everyone has a different answer. Yue Wenhan couldn't tell if they were telling the truth or a lie.

But at least one thing was confirmed – something bad happened to that maid. Since these servants dared to tell him that, it was surely approved by the Crown Prince.

"Then the other maid called Xie Feng now is working for Princess Ji?" Qu Moying sneered inwardly. No wonder when Xie Feng took her to the Linyuan Pavilion, she so happened to run into Ji Youran. Because they had set up everything to kill her there.

She had suspected it before but still found it not very possible. Now, everything was connected together.

This was the truth!

When she was still a child, she met Wei Yu one day, who was an orphan, and took her back home. They had grown up together, and Wei Yu had always been very loyal to her. Xie Feng was born in the Ji's Mansion, and her whole family had served the Ji Family loyally for many years. This was why Xie Feng was assigned to serve Ji Hanyue.

But she never expected Xie Feng to be someone else's pawn. No wonder every time when she started to suspect Ji Youran, Ji Youran would behave better to clear her doubt. She had been kept away from the truth all the time while Pei Luo'an and Ji Youran had hooked up since long ago. It was all thanks to this maid.

A trace of coldness showed up in Qu Moying's eyes.

"Cousin, what's wrong?" noticing Qu Moying's strange reaction, Yue Wenhan hurriedly asked.

"I...I just feel it was so unfair for our cousin. I can't believe one of her private maids immediately showed her loyalty to someone else right after she passed away. Does it really make sense?" Qu Moying gnashed her teeth, tasting blood in her throat.
