Wu Yining returned to the Wu Residence, lost in thought, after leaving Prince Wei's Manor. As she reached her own courtyard, a young maid came up to greet her.
"Young Miss!"
With a sharp little face, apricot eyes, peach blossom cheeks, and a red mole between her brows — this was the person Wufu and others were looking for, one of Wu Yining's second-class maidservants, Xing Er.
"Young Miss, the plan failed." Xing Er spoke anxiously.
Wu Yining shouted with a delicate voice, "Silence! What are you panicking for? Get inside and stay put."
The Commandery Princess was right; this Xing Er couldn't handle things. If she got caught and confessed, what face would be left?
She must be dealt with!
Wu Yining's heart sank slightly, but she pulled a smile and said, "Go inside and pack your things. I'll arrange for you to stay at the estate for a couple of days. Once this matter blows over, I'll bring you back!"
