Chapter 2081: Chapter 2081: Very Similar to the Prince

Now truly was not the time to be petty—they had to find Princess Consort Niu first.

"You and Baiqing go find the princess consort, and I’ll stay here," Zimo said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang nodded.

She finally came back to her senses.

Since Yin Lvqing was able to arrange for someone to enter Prince Niu’s Mansion, their matters must soon reach Yin Lvqing’s ears, right?

Therefore, those who might leak their whereabouts could not be spared.

"Okay, be careful. Baiqing and I will head there first. Baiqing, let’s go."

After saying this, she pulled Yin Baiqing along and left.

...

In the nearby courtyard.

A nanny hurriedly entered, bowing to a plainly dressed woman.

"What is it?"

The woman stopped writing, looking up at the nanny.

"Your Highness, the mansion guard reported that Liu brought three strangers into Secondary Consort Yuan’s courtyard, but they specifically asked for Nanny Guo in our courtyard."

The nanny reported to Princess Consort Niu.

"Oh?"

Princess Consort Niu slightly curved her lips, looking at the nanny.

"Where is Nanny Guo?" she asked.

"Your Highness, Nanny Guo is off duty today. Hearing that a shulan orchid bloomed on Beilin Mountain, she went to pick that orchid," the nanny replied.

"And everyone in Prince Niu’s Mansion knows about this, even the mansion guards."

"Keep an eye on it."

Princess Consort Niu pondered for a moment, then instructed.

It was not unusual for guests to visit Secondary Consort Yuan, but the guards sending Nanny Guo’s guests to Secondary Consort Yuan’s courtyard certainly piqued her curiosity.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The nanny took the order and was about to leave.

Suddenly, she turned back, looking cautiously at her mistress.

"Your Highness, this servant has something to say, but I’m not sure if it’s appropriate."

"What is it? Speak," Princess Consort Niu said.

She was known for not suspecting those she employed and employing those she did not suspect. Naturally, those around her felt free to speak their minds.

"This servant secretly went to take a look. The three who came looking for Nanny Guo were a man and a woman with a child about seven or eight years old. Strangely, this servant always felt the child bears some resemblance between his brows to the prince.

Could it be that the prince outside..."

"Shut your mouth!"

Hearing this, Princess Consort Niu sharply rebuked.

"This servant misspoke, please punish me," the nanny, seeing the princess consort’s wrath, immediately knelt down.

"Get up,"

Princess Consort Niu took a deep breath, gesturing for the nanny to rise.

She knew all too well what kind of man the prince was.

Men are somewhat fickle after all, and it’s perfectly normal if he has kept a woman or two on the outside.

But the prince was discreet, knowing what kind of woman could bear his children. Would any of those women on the outside have swelling bellies?

Even if, by some chance, one of them did, she wouldn’t have to lift a finger; the prince would handle it himself.

"You’ve been with this consort for so long, how do you still not understand discretion? Don’t you know what should and shouldn’t be said?"

"Your Highness, I am to blame,"

The nanny, scared into a cold sweat, bowed her head in acknowledgment.

"But, Your Highness, that child really does look a lot like the prince. If it were not for...this servant thinks that if Secondary Consort Yuan’s people brought him to her courtyard, there must be something fishy going on."
