Chapter 217 Yun Xinluo 20
Since this matter concerned the prince's beloved Madam Yun, Su Peisheng handled it extremely quickly. He was fully aware of the importance of this matter, so he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
The main reason was that those people had never seen the world, and after being caught and questioned, they confessed everything.
According to them, that day a woman who was dressed simply but had a demeanor unlike that of an ordinary maid suddenly found them and promised to give them a generous reward as long as they were willing to investigate the situation of the mistress of the Zhen Mansion first.
As for whether there were any other requirements after finding out the truth, everyone hesitated and evaded the question.
Su Peisheng learned in detail about the maid's attire as described by them. She looked young but had an old-fashioned broom-like hairstyle. She could slap someone in the face with just a turn of her head. She had two dark silver hairpins on her head, as if she had been poisoned. She had two silver spinning top-like earrings on her ears. She looked dull, cumbersome, and interesting.
According to this familiar yet unfamiliar description, Su Peisheng searched around the capital and met Jianqiu, who was beside his own wife!
(This is the look Jianqiu wore before she entered the palace.)
After learning what had happened, Yinzhen finally felt relieved, but what followed was worry about his own safety.
His affair with Xin Luo was extremely secretive, how did Yixiu know about it?
Today, Yixiu only asked someone to investigate Xin Luo's situation, but people's hearts are fickle, who knows what they will do after they find out? Moreover, what worries him most is whether Yixiu will take the opportunity to murder him in the future?
His cold eyes swept over Su Peisheng, who naturally could have thought of this, and knelt down to apologize to him, "It was my incompetence that caused someone to reveal the prince's whereabouts."
……
"Alright..., get up."
After a moment of silence, Yinzhen still called him up. The reason why Su Peisheng could stay with him for so many years was because he knew his limits! He knew what to do and what not to do, what he could do and what he couldn't do.
The most greedy thing he could do was to collect money from the people in the backyard, but he didn't have the courage to reveal his whereabouts.
However, Su Peisheng was guilty of dereliction of duty as he failed to keep a close eye on the collusion between the people in the front yard and the back yard.
"This time I will punish you with ten strokes of the cane."
"Yes," Su Peisheng stepped back respectfully, leaving the space to the two of them, and willingly accepted the punishment.
He knew that the prince had shown mercy to him this time, and the ten strokes of the cane were only a symbolic punishment. The executioners would hold back when they heard the number, and he would just need to rest for a few days afterwards.
He also knew the seriousness of the matter. The whereabouts of the prince were so important, but he failed to manage the people around the prince who had two minds. Fortunately, it was the wife this time. If any prince knew about it, it would be hard to say whether the prince could punish him again. It would be a big deal.
Su Peisheng naturally held a grudge against the main courtyard. He thought that his concubine, Su Fei, had been with the prince for so many years, longer than the time when Concubine Fu Jin was married, and had never been punished by the prince with a stick. But because of Concubine Fu Jin, he really lost a lot of points today.
Yun Xinluo was also there when Su Peisheng replied, and she heard it clearly. As she expected, it was Yinzhen who caused the trouble. Now she had even more reason to be angry, "Well, you really have implicated me! I told you that we are not suitable, but you refused to listen! Before, you blamed me for not wanting to enter your palace. Now it seems that it is fortunate that I was smart and did not listen to you, otherwise I don't know what kind of trouble I would have been caused by your wife!! "
