Chapter 265: Chapter 266 Searching for Someone

After sending Xiaoyun out, Lin Fuying called Dong Yue, who was doing chores outside.

"Go make arrangements. Find a few fierce-looking thugs and create a huge scene outside that slut Chu Nanli’s courtyard!"

She couldn’t handle Chu Nanli for the time being but couldn’t stand to see her so carefree!

Once those thugs showed up, she wanted to see how Chu Nanli would cope.

"Concubine..."

Dong Yue, with a troubled expression, deeply resisted helping Lin Fuying do such immoral acts.

Yet, her indenture of servitude was still in Lin Fuying’s hands.

If she dared say a word of refusal, Lin Fuying would definitely not let her off!

"What, you’re unwilling?" Lin Fuying probably sensed her hesitation, her eyes turning cold instantly.

"This humble one dares not!"

Dong Yue quickly knelt down, still trying to appear sincerely considerate of Lin Fuying.

"Please consider, if the Prince learns of this, then..."

She didn’t dare continue her words.

Lin Fuying nodded thoughtfully: "You’re right, can’t you just be more discreet?"

By changing hands several times, who could trace it back to her?

Dong Yue, feeling helpless, could only follow Lin Fuying’s orders.

She received a few pieces of silver from Lin Fuying and when she approached Chu Nanli’s courtyard, she hesitated again.

After all, the Princess Consort had previously spared her life.

She wrestled with her decision for a moment and then used a string of candied hawthorns to coax a child playing nearby to deliver a message inside the courtyard.

It wasn’t half an hour later that Chu Nanli approached her directly.

"Are you looking for me?" Chu Nanli looked at Dong Yue, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Dong Yue pursed her lips, recounting Lin Fuying’s plan in detail to Chu Nanli.

Finally, she said with a guilty expression, "This servant’s indenture is still in the Concubine’s hands: I could only do as the Concubine commanded, otherwise she would make sure I suffered."

"I’m sorry, Princess Consort, for failing your kindness. Other than telling you this news, there’s nothing else I could do." Dong Yue lowered her head in shame.

"No matter; since Lin Fuying ordered this, just do as she said," Chu Nanli spoke indifferently.

Dong Yue was somewhat shocked. How could the Princess Consort react so calmly?

But then, she figured the Princess Consort must have her ways, being so intelligent.

Chu Nanli certainly wouldn’t let Lin Fuying disturb her peaceful days.

As for Ye Yunting, that disgusting fellow, did he not leave in a huff, saying something about moving out too?

If so, she might as well let Ye Yunting truly appreciate this "surprise!"

Upon returning to the War God Residence, Dong Yue reported her progress to Lin Fuying.

Learning that the thugs would still need more time to appear, a flash of disappointment crossed Lin Fuying’s eyes.

But it was enough for now.

...

It was only after getting to Xingshan Temple that Xiaoyun found out her aunt had already fled back home.

Fortunately, she and her aunt were from the same village in the capital suburbs. Others might not know where her aunt had hidden, but it was quite easy for her to find her.

She rented a donkey cart to return to the village, and coincidentally encountered her aunt cooling off in the yard.

Her aunt, surnamed Wan and around forty years old, had upturned eyes that suggested she wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

Initially, she had joined Xingshan Temple just to avoid trouble and didn’t sincerely believe in the Buddha.

Even after becoming a nun, she still maintained private contact with her relatives.
