C12 Official Attendance
"Yes, yes, yes." Du Cangliang let out a long breath. The current Du Jiuyue was a hot potato that could be flung aside at will.
"Also, remember, she needs to go back to the Prince Qi's Palace in broad daylight," Sima Qi warned again, and the expression on his face became colder and colder. It was the season of spring when flowers bloomed, but sitting beside Sima Qi made people feel a chill.
If he offended Sima Qi, he would die miserably. This time, it all depended on Du Jiuyue's luck. As long as she killed herself, she would be finished. She didn't want this girl to be too stubborn.
The officials of the Jingwei Mansion knocked on the Du Residence door. Du Jiuyue was still sleeping in her small courtyard, completely unconscious. She was too tired.
Butler Du's expression was also unsightly, even when he saw that it was an official from the Capital Prefecture.
"Chief Steward." The two officials nodded and smiled, "Please go to the mortuary's morgue to identify your corpse."
"Discern the body? Which one of us is dead? " The head steward's face, which was previously filled with dark clouds, was now even more unsightly. He glared at the two officials with a face full of misfortune.
"It's the servant girl …" When an official saw the butler's unfriendly face, his voice lowered as well: "Originally, I wanted to ask Prince Qi's Palace to claim it, but Prince Qi told us to use Du Residence."
The moment he heard about Prince Qi's Palace, the main butler did not dare to hold Qiao Qiao anymore. He quickly straightened his face and said: "If that's the case, then I will arrange for people to go with the two officials." As he spoke, he invited the two officials into the mansion.
The head steward reported the situation to Madame Du.
"Lily must be the one who died if the Prince Qi's Palace was to identify her corpse." Madame Du had not been in a good mood all day. Thinking about Du Jiuyue's arrogant appearance while she was sleeping soundly in the mansion made her angry.
"Then, madam …" With a troubled expression on his face, the butler looked at Madame Du hesitantly, waiting for her instructions. Of course, they didn't want to identify the corpse. This kind of work, whoever was unlucky enough to go, who was willing to go?
"Go inform Princess Qi." Madame Du narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Those are her men. Of course we have to ask her to fetch them."
She really wanted to give Du Jiuyue some bad luck. She couldn't let her days be so easy. She initially wanted to kill Du Jiuyue, but now she was riding on top of them.
Just thinking about it made him angry.
"Yes." The head steward had wanted Du Jiuyue to step in. Now that his wife had spoken, he quickly walked towards Du Jiuyue's courtyard with a calculating expression.
Yesterday, he was immersed in the pig cage, and was beaten up by the commoners. If he were to go out today, he would definitely become the focus of attention.
"Dong, dong, dong." Du Jiuyue rolled over and rubbed her eyes in dissatisfaction. "Who is it?"
To disturb her sleep, was he courting death?
"Sixth Princess, the government wants you to identify the body." The head steward was worried. After yesterday's incident, he was also afraid of this unknown Ninth Miss.
"What?" Du Jiuyue finally regained her senses. She jumped down from the bed, randomly threw on a set of clothes, then looked for the door. "Who's dead?" Prince Qi? Otherwise, do you need me to identify a corpse? "
Her tone was harsh, she didn't care about Prince Qi anymore, since it had already come to this.
"This... Sixth Princess … "Ninth Miss, Lily died." The head steward was so scared that he was trembling. Even though he wasn't the one who said this, if Du Jiuyue were to spread the news, her Du Residence would be more than sufficient to deal with it.
"Lily?" Du Jiuyue was stunned for a moment before she pushed the butler away and rushed out. "Where's the official? Bring me there quickly!"
She came back for Lily. Unexpectedly, she was told to identify the corpse. That's right, with Sima Qi's methods, how could he let Lily use her Prince Qi's Palace alive?
Du Jiuyue rushed in front of the two officials and asked without a care, "Quick, where is Lily's corpse?"
The two officials were both intelligent men. They knelt before Du Jiuyue as soon as they saw her. "We pay our respects to the Sixth Princess. She's a thousand years old, a thousand years old …"
Du Jiuyue didn't care much about it. She waved her sleeves and said, "Rise, where did all these lousy rules come from? Quick, bring me there! When did Lily die? "
"Yesterday …" Yesterday … "Ling Chen." The two officials trembled in fear, but as they wiped off their sweat, they led the way out. They finally saw Princess Qi, who was rumored to have survived after being bathed in a pig cage before their marriage.
Du Jiuyue's body trembled when she heard this. Would it still be enough after such a long time? In the blink of an eye, she saw the main butler standing by the side with a hint of pride on his face.
"Butler, prepare the carriage." Du Jiuyue sneered in her heart. Of course she understood what the people from Du Residence were thinking, but would she listen to them?
"Yes, yes, yes." The head steward had wanted to follow from a distance and watch the show, but he didn't have the chance. He answered reluctantly, and did not move.
Du Jiuyue laughed coldly and said with a deep voice, "What is it? Do you want me to prepare the carriage myself? "
"I dare not, I will go now." The head steward quickly turned around to make the arrangements.
Madame Du saw that the head steward was humiliated and did not dare to step forward. She was afraid that she would cause trouble for herself.
Du Jiuyue sat in the carriage, two officials following her on foot, not daring to complain.
The people who were originally surrounding the Du Residence to watch the show left in twos and threes. They knew that the person in the carriage was Du Jiuyue and wanted to embarrass her again, but seeing the two officials following behind her, they restrained themselves.
The few people who were waiting at the tea house at the end of the street all had disappointed looks on their faces.
"This woman still has some tricks up her sleeve. I'm afraid even Du Cangliang wants to die right now?" Fifth Prince Sima Ling had changed into a new set of green clothes today, but the smile on his face didn't subside in the slightest.
On the other side, Third Prince, Sima Hu, was still dressed in snow-white clothes. His clothes fluttered in the wind and he held a fan in his hand. He looked extremely elegant and dashing.
"Du Cangliang has already looked for Old Sixth, he can't deal with this little girl." Sima Hu smiled faintly, but the smile was very light in his eyes and disappeared in a flash.
"I can't believe it." Sima Ling narrowed his eyes and said in surprise, "Third Brother, what do you think this woman has to rely on?"
"What else?" Sima Hu waved his fan and smirked. "It's just because she's Princess Qi now."
"How laughable." Sima Ling did not think so, "It is because of this identity that she must die. What else does she have to rely on?"
"That's what she's smart about. "To know how to use things to the best of their abilities." Sima Hu squinted his eyes and smiled. However, his lips curved up in a faint smile and he said with excitement, "I just don't know, how could Ol 'Six be so careless as to let her servants be sent to the government's morgue?"
Sima Ling was stunned, he looked at his third brother in surprise.
"You are saying … Someone is going against Sixth Brother? And you dare to speak so brazenly? " The more Sima Ling thought about it, the more complicated the matter felt. It seemed that someone had finally taken action. He guessed again, "Do you think Du Jiuyue was also saved by this person?"
