Chapter 313: Chapter 314 Investigating the Child’s Matter Chapter 313: Chapter 314 Investigating the Child’s Matter As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw two anxious people waiting there and sternly questioned them, “What happened with you two? Why did the child run away?”

Qing Shan and the nanny, seeing the child return safely, were immediately moved to tears. They then knelt on the ground with a “thud” and said, “We did not take good care of the young master, please punish us, miss.”

“What good is punishing you? What exactly happened?” Shao He could not believe they would be so negligent.

Through the time they spent together, she believed that Qing Shan and the nanny would definitely not let the child leave easily, something must have happened.

“Qingxia followed the Fifth Prince to move some equipment, leaving me and Nanny Zhang to watch the child. Suddenly, a man came and asked the nanny to prepare the child’s food.”

Shao He interrupted and asked, “Did you confirm the identity of that man? Was he really someone from inside the residence?”

Nanny Zhang hurriedly spoke, “This old servant did confirm it; that person was indeed from the Fifth Prince’s Mansion, so this old servant followed him without hesitation.”

“Afterward, only I was left to watch the young master. The moment I turned around, a person in black appeared and knocked me out. I did not know what happened after that.”

Qing Shan had not expected that someone from the Fifth Prince’s Mansion could be such a martial artist. His martial arts skills were above hers, even preventing her from resisting.

Shao He became pensive, “If the opponent really wanted to kidnap the child, why did the child end up running into the next room? That really doesn’t make sense.”

Pei Huaian suddenly walked in and spoke, “It was the Hidden Guard who rescued the child.”

“What?”

“The Hidden Guard just reported to me. Someone tried to kidnap the child, and he had no choice but to intervene. After a brief confrontation, the opponent left upon failing, and the Hidden Guard could not stay visible for long, so he went into hiding, which led to the earlier situation.”

After hearing his explanation, Shao He realized and recalled the prior unusual behavior of Pei Chengye, suspecting he had planned to target the child.

“No wonder Pei Chengye was constantly watching the child; he had this intention from the start.”

With a guilty expression, Pei Huaian apologized, “I’m sorry for exposing you and the child to danger again, and for almost getting the child hurt.”

Seeing his self-reproach, Shao He reassured him, “We were all neglectful because we were worried about The Emperor. You can’t be blamed for this, fortunately, the child is alright.”

Pei Huaian, recalling what Nanny Zhang had just mentioned, suddenly turned and asked sternly, “Can you remember who it was that took you away?”

Since it was someone from the mansion who had taken her away, that person was undoubtedly a spy from the palace, likely a man of Pei Chengye.

Nanny Zhang thought carefully for a moment, then quickly mentioned the name of a steward from the kitchen, “It was Liu Gui, I remember very clearly, especially since I’ve been to the kitchen to prepare food for the young master these past few days, seeing him every day, which made me remember him over time.”

Thus, without any doubts today, she followed the steward directly to the small kitchen, and when she returned with the pastries, only Qing Shan was left fainted in the courtyard.

Although she knew all this might have been a setup, now she was powerless to accuse anyone and could only anxiously wait, relieved that nothing happened to the young master, and soon everything came to light.

Pei Huaian’s eyes slightly narrowed, he immediately looked to Ah Mo and instructed, “Bring the person here.”

“Yes.”

Ah Mo moved swiftly, and in less one period of an incense stick to burn, he brought Liu Gui along, pushing him to the ground.

With a panicked face, Liu Gui looked at everyone, “This servant has seen Your Highness, I don’t know why Your Highness has summoned me here?”

“It’s him, exactly him who asked this servant to prepare food for the young master,” Nanny Zhang firmly accused from the side.

Pei Huaian let out a cold laugh, his gaze falling on Liu Gui kneeling on the ground, his tone icy and piercing, “So, tell me, who instructed you to do this?”

Hearing this, Liu Gui trembled even more, still stubbornly denying, “I don’t understand what you mean, Your Highness? I have never been here…”

Pei Huaian’s lips curled disdainfully, his gaze sharp as a blade, “Is that so?”

Liu Gui shuddered, his head hanging low, not daring to look into his eyes, “Your Highness, I have really been wronged, and there are people who can prove that I wasn’t here at that moment; if Your Highness does not believe, you may ask Xiao Liuzi from the kitchen, he can vouch for me.”

Liu Gui vehemently denied ever being there, even fabricating an alibi, thinking he could thus escape, but Pei Huaian did not believe a word of it.

How could such cunning deceive his discerning eyes?

A simple investigation would easily reveal the inconsistency, and with the information Ah Mo brought back, he was almost certain that Liu Gui was lying.

Liu Gui’s heart raced, his forehead breaking out in fine sweat, not daring to raise his head and face Pei Huaian, fearing that he might betray any hint of his inner emotions,

Pei Huaian approached him slowly, looking down at him from a height.

Liu Gui felt as if he were being preyed upon by a beast, a fear like never before blossoming in his heart, his forehead drenched in dense sweat.

He wanted to back away, but his legs were too weak to stand.
