Looking outside, Mammy Liu frowned and turned to An Rushuang "Madam, why didn't you question her?"

Hong Yu was also confused about this.

Picking up an osmanthus cake and holding in her hand, An didn't eat it and instead pinched it into pieces and looked them falling onto the ground…

"We do not have any evidence now. Even if we question her, she won't admit. So why bother to do this? It's better to catch her in the action!"

In the morning around nine o'clock, Second Prince arrived as scheduled.

Lord An had been discussing issues with him in the study for half an hour. What the Second Prince was talking about was plain as water. Hearing these, An Yipei couldn't help feeling annoyed, considering he must have some other intentions.

"I know Lord An is an expert in preventing floods and control waters. It's such a pity that I haven't seen that."

In fact, the Second Prince was very handsome. At this time, however, his frontal angle looked slightly uncomfortable with his loathly squeezed out stiff face, which destroyed his good look. If he played nice as such to other ministers, it was definite that everyone would have some responses accordingly!

But the man in front of him was such a clumsy fool in the political arena!

Being cold, An Yipei said in a respectful but distant way "I do not dare to take the credits to myself. In terms of the flood issue, I do hope that Second Prince would never see it. Nanqi will be free of floods has always been my long-cherished wish."

"That's true. I hope so too…"

Twisting his handsome face and trying to smile, he couldn't help shaking her hands. If this man didn't have influence when speaking in front of his emperor father, he would have already slapped him in the face and cut him off at the knees!

However, he didn't dare to do right now. He had to put up with him for a while!

When the two were embarra.s.singly staring at each other in the study, an affectedly sweet voice was heard outside.

"Second Prince and Lord! Lady An invites you to have lunch at the foyer."

As she saying, a woman stood outside at the door wearing a white dress and a water green s.h.i.+rt outside. With her apricot-like eyes, she looked at the two people softly. That was no other than Cui Liu.

Reaching out his hand, An Yipei said "After you, Second Prince!"

While replying perfunctorily, Zhu Han could not help but glancing at Cui Liu who looked shy. Looking down from her white jade-like neck, he could see Cui Liu's perky breast and delicate waist like a willow in March. Only a glance, Zhu Han felt his heart flaming and his mouth dried.

At the other side, a woman in peach red rushed back after seeing everyone leaving. On entering the garden, she shouted "Madam! Madam!"

Seeing Hong Yu sweating, An Rushuang smiled and gave her a cup of tea, saying "Do not rus.h.!.+ Speak slowly."

Mammy Liu was embroidering a handkerchief. Seeing An's reaction, she found madam seemed to have grown up overnight.

Hong Yu gulped down the cup of tea without breathing. After calming down a little bit, she said "Cui Liu! As madam said, Cui Liu did change her clothes and put on some makeup…"

Thinking a little while, she added "Cui Liu's dress is what she doesn't bear to wear in daily life. It was made of brocade satin that Lady An rewarded her."

Hearing this, Mammy Liu changed her face. She stopped embroidering handkerchief and said angrily "What a b.i.t.c.h! I didn't expect she has such a great ambition that she even wants to seduce the royal! Madam, rest a.s.sured! I'll teach her a lesson after she comes back!"

She was just a servant girl born of snotty background. How dare she dreaming of becoming an imperial concubine?!

Hong Yu didn't think too much. But hearing Mammy Liu's words, she felt somewhat terrified.

Looking at Mammy Liu, An Rushuang snuggled up to her and murmured "I know Mammy Liu cares me most. But you do not need to teach her a lesson. If Cui Liu is really such a servant girl, I won't keep her."

The royal? She would pull him down from this high position!

Mammy Liu sighed and said "That's good. Couldn't we find a good cook in such a big An Family?"

Bringing another cup of tea to Hong Yu, An Rushuang smiled "Hong Yu, go again and take a little servant girl with u in case you miss something."

Hong Yu immediately agreed and had another cup of tea before leaving.

When Cui Liu introduced Second Prince and Lord An to be seated, Lady An asked her to go back and look after madam.

How could Cui Liu be content? She had not even said a word with Second Prince. Although she replied a "yes" and didn't come back later, she was observing what happened in the main hall.

Looking from the outside, Hong Yu couldn't help curling up her lips and asked the little servant girl they caught in the early morning to tell madam. She remained there to observe.

Half an hour had pa.s.sed, Hong Yu almost fell asleep. Suddenly she heard the voices of Second Prince and Lord An. She immediately raised her head.

True enough, Second Prince was walking outside, accompanied by Lord An who seemed to see him off.

…the royal was leaving. Maybe they had misunderstood Cui Liu?

Thinking so, Hong Yu saw Cui Liu wandering around at the little alley. Later, she suddenly bowed and threw something out!

Meanwhile, Zhu Han felt something hitting his feet. Looking down, he saw a stone wrapped with water green cloth lying beside him.

He said without any facial expression "Lord An, thank you for your hospitality and don't bother to see me out."

Hong Yu saw Second Prince's coach leaving at the front door and then came to the back door to pick up Cui Liu.

When Hong Yu came back to tell the whole thing, madam was still calm and smiled to ask guardians to look closely at the doors and pay attention to when Cui Liu came back.

After an hour, Cui Liu went back.
