Chapter 2094: Chapter 2094: It Didn’t Happen

If Princess Consort Niu finds out about this now, she won’t be able to get out of it unscathed.

"Princess Consort, they are merely three unimportant people. Why make such a big deal out of it?" She said with a stiff smile to Princess Consort Niu.

Hearing this, Princess Consort Niu raised her eyes to look at her and smiled lightly.

"How can you say I’m making a big deal out of it? To have Secondary Consort Yuan come to my courtyard in person to ask for people, it seems that those few individuals are not so unimportant, after all."

With that, she turned to her own maidservants.

"Also instruct the people in the courtyard to search everywhere, we must help Secondary Consort Yuan... oh, no, to help Nanny Guo find the people. If they cannot be found..."

She then rolled her eyes malevolently toward Secondary Consort Yuan.

"Then I can only make the decision on behalf of Nanny Guo to ask Secondary Consort Yuan for the people. Secondary Consort Yuan, wouldn’t you agree? Hm?"

"I..."

At this moment, Secondary Consort Yuan felt as if she had swallowed a kilo of bitter herbs, wishing she could just die.

How could she have not thought things through and come to Princess Consort Niu’s courtyard to ask for the people so brazenly?

Even if she waited until the evening to send people to search covertly and capture them back, it would have been better, but now...

A perfectly justifiable matter, where she had the upper hand, had turned into her being in the wrong by her own doing. What should she do now?

"This... What does this have to do with me? The guards brought the people over. If you, Princess Consort, want to find them, go look for that guard."

She mustered her strength as she spoke to Princess Consort Niu.

No, she must hurry back and arrange for the execution of that idiotic guard. Otherwise, she would be dragged down with him!

"Looking for the guard?"

Princess Consort Niu looked at Secondary Consort Yuan with a chuckle.

"Secondary Consort Yuan came to find me earlier, asking me to hand over the people. It shows how much you value those few individuals, presumably they must be very important to Nanny Guo’s family.

Now that they have disappeared in the courtyard of Secondary Consort Yuan, and even a person died there.

This matter must be thoroughly investigated. Otherwise, if there is a cold-blooded murderer hiding in the vast Prince Niu’s Mansion, wouldn’t it terrify everyone? How could that be allowed?

In my opinion, not only do we need to find those few people, but we also need to uncover who killed the servant in Secondary Consort Yuan’s courtyard.

I do want to see just how bold the murderer is, to dare to commit murder in Prince Niu’s Mansion!"

"You..."

Secondary Consort Yuan’s lips trembled, unable to say a word.

But that wasn’t the end of it.

"Tsk tsk,"

Princess Consort Niu ’tsked’ softly twice.

"I just thought of something. Secondary Consort Yuan, even if those few people were mistakenly taken to your courtyard, it shouldn’t have led to loss of life, right? Could it be that the servants in your courtyard intended to detain the people from Nanny Guo’s family?

Or did they plan to kill them outright, and then use them for some scheme against Nanny Guo by my side?"

"There’s... There’s no such thing."

Secondary Consort Yuan gasped sharply, immediately denying Princess Consort Niu’s words.

Was Princess Consort Niu’s implication not that she wanted to pin a baseless accusation on her?

Implying that she wanted to control Nanny Guo by using her family members, to do things unfavorable to the Princess Consort? Or even directly commanding Nanny Guo to assassinate the Princess Consort?
