Chapter 2097: Chapter 2097: Yet to Be Verified

"Yellow-faced hag, just you wait!"

She fiercely shook off her sleeves, her eyes bloodshot as she looked at her own maid.

"Let’s go."

"Yes, Secondary Consort."

The maid complied, silently sighing with relief, then followed Secondary Consort Yuan out.

...

As dusk fell, the nanny sent to investigate the deaths in Secondary Consort Yuan’s courtyard had returned.

"Heh, she’s quite ruthless indeed."

Upon hearing the nanny’s report, Lin Caisang, sitting nearby, chuckled lightly and said,

Yet, despite the smiling face, her eyes were devoid of any warmth, her forefinger lightly tapping on the table.

"If she weren’t ruthless, how could she have attained her current status?"

Princess Consort Niu also smiled, picking up a teacup from the table, and spoke to Lin Caisang,

This Secondary Consort Yuan, without a powerful family background, has used her own cunning charm to make the prince obtain an imperial decree, appointing her as Secondary Consort.

"Young Master Sui, Madam Sui, do you have any strategies to deal with Secondary Consort Yuan?"

"Does Princess Consort Niu wish to deal with Secondary Consort Yuan?" Lin Caisang raised an eyebrow, looking at Princess Consort Niu.

"Well..."

Caught off guard by Lin Caisang’s question, Princess Consort Niu hesitated.

She wanted to deal with Secondary Consort Yuan, but that was merely an internal affair of Prince Niu’s Mansion. Right now, what she truly desired was not about Secondary Consort Yuan’s fate but that of Yin Lvqing!

She wanted Yin Lvqing to face his deserved downfall—that was the very scene she longed to witness!

"Madam Sui, do you think there’s a connection between Secondary Consort Yuan and Yin Lvqing?"

She wondered whether it was merely a coincidence that everyone in Prince Niu’s Mansion presumed Baiqing to have little chance of survival since he was taken away at such a young age.

Yet, against the odds, Secondary Consort Yuan arranged for the guards to bring Baiqing and Sui Zimo, the couple, into her courtyard.

Her servants had had family visitors before, but such an incident had never occurred. Could it be that Secondary Consort Yuan had foreseen that this time, it was her Baiqing returning?

If it were said that Secondary Consort Yuan had no connection with Yin Lvqing at all, she would absolutely not believe it.

"This matter is not easy to ascertain and needs further investigation," Lin Caisang remarked.

"Moreover, about that arrested guard. Later, please ask the nanny to bring him before me; I want to personally interrogate him to find out if someone else is involved."

She looked to the nanny, instructing,

"This..."

Naturally, the nanny dared not make decisions on her own and turned to look at Princess Consort Niu for guidance.

"Whatever Madam Sui says, do that; bring the individual to the residence of Young Master Sui and Madam Sui, and remember, be cautious," Princess Consort Niu quickly commanded upon seeing the nanny looking her way.

Of course, she was curious about how a mere guard dared bring a person connected to Nanny Guo to Secondary Consort Yuan’s courtyard.

However, regarding the mansion’s guards, she truly had limited means to make them speak.

If the punishment was light, they would not fear; if the punishment was severe, they might even die—it was truly a dilemma for her.

At this moment, since Lin Caisang was willing to take this person for interrogation, she naturally agreed.

"Madam Sui, there is a secret chamber in my courtyard; perhaps we could bring this person there for interrogation?" Suddenly, as if struck with a thought, she looked at Lin Caisang, suggesting.
