Chapter 186: The Third Prince’s Doubt

Ning Xueyan saw clearly, following Lan Ning’s finger. Xia Yuhang had just left, and another man unexpectedly appeared inside the Elegant Moon Pavilion. His back was very similar to Xia Yuhang’s. At first glance, their height, figure, and even standing posture were similar.

If it weren’t for her familiarity with Xia Yuhang from her previous life, anyone would have thought that the person was Xia Yuhang!

A trace of chilling smile appeared on the corner of her shallow lips. Ning Qingshan was truly vicious and would stop at nothing to ruin herself.

It must have been that Xia Yuhang happened to walk to the pavilion just now, so that person didn’t appear. As long as she appeared, someone would certainly discover it. Ning Xueyan was now certain that there was something mysterious in the garden over there. Xia Yuhang had just come down from the artificial hill, and where he was going was that courtyard.

Thinking again about the terrain here, after leaving the Plum Garden, turning a corner, although it was a straight walk, it wasn’t far from the Plum Garden.

There was a banquet in the Plum Garden today, and this place was more like being close to the men’s seats. Xia Yuhang could enter that place, indicating that it was open today. There must be some Young Masters of a Noble Family here who weren’t at the banquet, strolling around. The artificial hill’s Mid-Mountain position was higher than the courtyard wall. After going up, people inside the courtyard wall could certainly see clearly.

As long as she and a man appeared together in the Elegant Moon Pavilion, coupled with the note in her hand, she would be unable to Defend Oneself. Ning Xueyan could even be certain that there was also a note on that man’s body, and her name was definitely written on it.

Ning Qingshan was going to kill her with one blow!

“Lan Ning, go over there, and throw this there when they’re not paying attention.” A trace of cold eeriness flashed in Ning Xueyan’s eyes.

Looking around, she pointed at another corner and said, there were many Palace Maids passing by there, and things like fruits were being sent up. It was obvious that it was an exit, and sometimes a Boy Servant would pass by.

She handed the crushed, handled note to Lan Ning, and stood behind the tree, watching the man who appeared in the pavilion with a cold face. This wasn’t someone she was familiar with, so she couldn’t tell who it was.

Lan Ning looked over there and immediately understood intelligently. She took the note in Ning Xueyan’s hand and walked towards the exit of the Plum Garden.

She went around there, and the note in her hand fell on the ground in a more obvious place, without stopping. She turned a corner and went back.

The whole process was very fast! Palace Maids were coming and going, and they were all busy, and no one noticed Lan Ning’s appearance.

Several Palace Maids were busy sending fruits into the Plum Garden. Suddenly, a Palace Maid stopped and kicked a crumpled note under her feet. She was quite doubtful and asked another Palace Maid beside her, “Hey, did you drop something?”

“It’s not mine.” The Palace Maid she asked looked and shook her head.

“What, what?” Several Palace Maids nearby also heard it and came over to ask. When they saw that it was a note on the ground, they each shook their heads, indicating that it wasn’t theirs.

“Look, what’s written on it?” Everyone was curious, and a Palace Maid suggested.

The first Palace Maid handed the tray in her hand to other Palace Maids , and squatted down to pick up the crumpled little note. Only then did she open it and couldn’t help screaming.

It immediately attracted more attention. Even some Boy Servants passing by couldn’t help but stop, not knowing what had happened to this group of Palace Maids .

“Third Young Lady Ning? This font looks like a man’s.” Although the note was crumpled and torn, and there were several traces on the name, it could still be spread out and flattened, and the few words on it could still be seen clearly.

“Third Young Lady Ning, who is it? It can’t be the Third Miss of the Duke’s Mansion, can it? Let me see.” A Palace Maid had seen Ning Qingshan at the banquet just now, such a gentle and quiet person, how could she do such an Embarrassing and, moreover, Despicable thing.

“Why can’t it be? Look, it doesn’t say Third Young Lady Ning’s name, and also ‘meet at the Elegant Moon Pavilion’. A dignified Young Lady, unexpectedly so Shameless.” Thinking that others didn’t believe her, the first Palace Maid handed the note in her hand to the others, and muttered a sentence.

“Elegant Moon Pavilion, isn’t that the pavilion opposite?” A Palace Maid behind didn’t see the note, but heard the sound. She blinked her eyes and her eyes Light Up, and suddenly remembered that this pavilion was just opposite, and immediately pointed her hand in the direction of the Elegant Moon Pavilion.

She was very surprised at this moment, and her voice was a little louder. Many people followed her eyes and looked at the Elegant Moon Pavilion over there. It was indeed close to the Elegant Moon Pavilion, so close that one could clearly see that there was a man standing over there, with his Hands Behind Back, looking left and right, looking like he was waiting anxiously.

Especially, the direction he was looking was the entrance to the Plum Garden, and that place was closest to the Young Ladies’ seats!

It’s actually true! This… this is too Shameless!

“Didn’t that Third Young Lady Ning just go to Noble Consort Ya’s place, could it be a mistake, it’s not her?” Someone raised a Doubt!

“Speaking of which, it’s even more so. It’s impossible to make a mistake. Maybe the Third Young Lady dropped it when she passed by here. She might have passed by here when she left the Plum Garden just now.”

“Speaking of which, I seemed to have seen Third Young Lady Ning just now!”

That’s how the words were rushed out. Words led to words, and it increasingly made people feel it was very possible, maybe it was, it must be, it definitely was!

“Why aren’t you working and are you all gathered here?!” A Eunuch came over and Scolded the group of Palace Maids who were chattering together with a stern voice.

He was the Eunuch in charge here. He was busy today at the banquet, and his feet didn’t touch the ground. Now he came out and saw a large group of Palace Maids gossiping, and some Boy Servants were also Eavesdropping on the side with Surprise, so he was Furious.

Seeing that the top Eunuch had gotten angry, the Palace Maids immediately scattered like birds, leaving only the Palace Maid inside who was holding the note in her hand in a daze, both worried and afraid.

Seeing that everyone had run away, she had to go forward and present the note in her hand: “Your Grace, this is the note that this servant girl just picked up. It seems that someone has made an appointment with the Third Young Lady of the Duke’s Mansion, and this servant was just about to send it to you.”

She only wanted to Shirk responsibility at this moment, of course pushing everything away, and her words were also very implicit, as if she really didn’t know what had happened. Regardless of whether the Third Young Lady of the Duke’s Mansion had really made an appointment with another man, it was better for her, a little Palace Maid , to speak less.

The Third Young Lady of the Duke’s Mansion? The Eunuch was slightly Stunned, his Expression moved slightly. He took the note in the Palace Maid’s hand, waved his hand, and Indication for her to go.

The Palace Maid hurriedly ran away, lifting her skirt.

He opened the note that was even more crushed. The name of the Third Young Lady of the Duke’s Mansion was clearly written on it. A trace of Gloom flashed in his Eyes. He looked up at the man who was still standing in the pavilion. He paused and turned around, walking towards the Plum Garden.

This Third Young Lady of the Duke’s Mansion was the most likely to become the Third Prince’s Consort. Noble Consort Ya had specially called her over just now. Now that this kind of thing had happened, no one could take responsibility. The Eunuch thought about it and dared not act on his own. He turned around and went towards the seat where the Third Prince was.

This kind of thing was the Master’s matter. The more he, a servant, knew, the faster he would die!

“Third Highness, this servant has something to Report to you.” The Eunuch walked to Ao Mingyu’s side and lowered his voice.

On the other side, a Guard came over Hastily from outside and whispered a few words to Ao Chenyi. Ao Chenyi’s Corner of the Mouth revealed a Slight Smile. He already knew that this Young Girl, who looked Weak, was actually sharp. In just a moment, she had made the Matter this way. Intelligent and Decisive was interesting.

Languidly Waving Hand, he let the Guard retreat. He said meaningfully to Ao Mingyu beside him, “Mingyu, if you have anything to do, go and be busy. This King will take another look and see if there are any that have a Satisfactory Appearance and are also to This King’s liking. The two from the Duke’s Mansion are not bad, but one is too small, and one…”

He didn’t finish his words. He looked at Ao Mingyu meaningfully. The Thin corner of his lips curled slightly, and there was a hint of Eerie in his Handsome smile. The Deep Meaning that was said there made the Smile that Ao Mingyu had on his Face almost Stiff.

He deeply Took a Breath, Suppressed the Anger and Shame in his Heart, and said with a Smile to Ao Chenyi: “This nephew does have something to leave for a while. Uncle, please watch it yourself first. This nephew will come and accompany you in a Moment!”

“Go!” Ao Chenyi Waving Hand, and that Handsome face revealed some Eerie Smile, and supported his Hand, and leaned against the railing.

That Young Girl was over there with her pocket open, waiting for Ao Mingyu to fall in!

Unexpectedly, today he had originally come to Stroll out of boredom, and he could see such a Good Show. If he hadn’t seen that Young Girl’s Behavior was Eerie just now, he would have really missed a Good Show. Thinking about whether he should go and watch it up close, or just watch it from this Place from afar…

Who would have thought that His Royal Highness, Prince Yi, who was high above and busy with state affairs, would actually be Pondering such a Shameless Problem in his always Cold, Bloodthirsty Heart.

“Where did this come from?” The Third Prince was holding that note in his hand, and Anger and Shame rose in his Heart, and the Veins on his Forked Head at the Corner of the Eye twitched involuntarily.

“It’s just the Doorway over There. When this servant went over to see, several Palace Maids were gathered there, and they seemed to have been looking at it for a While. There were also Boy Servants of a few Young Masters on the side.” Seeing Ao Mingyu was Angry, the Eunuch lowered his head and became more Respect. Of course, he also made the Fact clear.

Whoever got involved in this kind of thing would be Unlucky. Otherwise, they would be killed in the end, so he Must tell the Third Prince clearly that there was not only him, but also many Palace Maids and Boy Servants at the time. In other words, this matter had already Leaked out.

“Where is the person?” A trace of dense Cold appeared on Ao Mingyu’s Face. His Cold gaze fell on the Eunuch, As If he was Investigate the truth of his words, and it was After a While before he asked such a sentence.

The Eunuch’s Back was covered in Cold Sweat, and when he heard the Third Prince didn’t ask any more questions, he immediately pointed to the direction of the Elegant Moon Pavilion and said: “It’s just There, Your Highness, you see, that person is still There, looking like that…”

The Eunuch didn’t dare to continue, and moreover, the more he spoke, the lighter his voice became. The Killing Intent in Ao Mingyu’s eyes was Clear.

He squeezed the note in his hand, Ao Mingyu with a Cold Face, and turned around and walked towards the Elegant Moon Pavilion, and he wanted to see if someone had Designed Ning Qingshan, or if Ning Qingshan was really so Despicable and Shameless…
