Chapter 723: Chapter 723 Mourning and Conspiracy (6)_1

"What has happened?"

"Aren’t they merely capturing an assassin? Why are they stirring us up?"

"Could it be that the assassin has invaded our courtyard?"

...

"Quiet." Bai Xian spoke coldly, "Otherwise, we shall administer family discipline."

Upon hearing about the family discipline, the yard immediately fell silent.

"Search." Qin’s old nurse was frantic with anxiety; the weather was so cold. The princess had been abducted by an assassin. Could she withstand the freezing weather?

Everyone began to search.

The women in the backyard were somewhat discontented. They might not be favored, but they were, nominally at least, Prince Ling’s concubines or attendants. These armored men entered their rooms without uttering a single word causing an upheaval. Where could they place their dignity?

"Why aren’t you out yet?" An old woman led some people to a room, surprised to find people inside.

"Cough, ha, do you think someone in my state could go out?" The person inside laughed with a chilling sarcasm, filled with melancholy.

"My lady." The maid by her side sobbed, "My lady’s fever won’t subside. The doctor said she cannot withstand the cold air."

The women in the courtyard heard the noise and all craned their necks to look. When they discovered it was Qin Meiren’s room, all of their faces revealed an expression of fright.

Qin Meiren’s status in the backyard plummeted after she was punished by the prince by having her hands and feet chopped off. Because she was paralyzed and bedridden, she always needed medical potions, underneath this hauntingly undesirable smell that wafted from her room.

Over time, the women of the backyard lazily visited to mock her or watch the spectacle.

It could be said that Qin Meiren’s room was the most deserted in the backyard. After a long time, the women in the backyard almost forgot about the woman who used to be their companion. On hearing her cold voice now, they all involuntarily trembled.

"What’s going on?" Madame Lu, hearing the voice, immediately came to check.

"Qin Meiren cannot go out due to the wind." The old woman respectfully replied.

"Don’t worry about her, start the search now." Madame Lu commanded.

Ming Meiren was also unwell and could not stand for long. Qingting could only support her with her own body. Even so, after a short while, she began to sweat profusely from severe pain.

Liufei, who had the appearance of a cold beauty, was indifferent toward all the commotion. She stood on the edge with her maid, still surrounded by several beauties.

Everyone had been dragged out from their warm beds. Once they stepped outside and faced the cold snow, their bodies started to feel chill immediately.

There was a group of people surrounding Linfei because Lin Haisheng had arrived from the Northern Land. Many people needed Lin Haisheng to bring them some special products back to the Capital City for their families. Besides, she already had her own small circle, so she was quite popular.

However, Linfei did not have the mind to discuss with the sisters around her, she was deep in thought.

The disturbance in the Wang Residence was considerable. The maids and servants of the princess had all appeared in the backyard. Moreover, everyone’s face was filled with anxiety - something was amiss.

Could it be? Thinking back to the assassin, considering a possibility, Linfei felt her heart nearly stop beating.

Something major was about to happen in the Wang Residence.

Although she disliked Lin Ziyin, as the legitimate daughter of the Lin family, Linfei was not foolish. From this incident, she smelt something unusual. Thinking swiftly in her heart, given the Prince Ling’s degree of importance towards Lin Ziyin, if something were to happen to Lin Ziyin, the first batch of unfortunate people would definitely be the women in this backyard.
