C9 I Can't Afford to Support You Idle People

The official looked at Yun Qingrao in surprise for a few moments before coughing.

He had been a government official for so many years, yet he had never seen anything like this.

"Esteemed wangfei, this thief dared to barge into the prince's estate. He deserves to die, and he even has the guts to molest the prince's concubine. He'll die without a doubt. This official will take the corpse away first and explain the situation to the officials of the estate. This official will take his leave now!"

Mo Linyan's expression changed instantly.

She had never thought that the new concubine would send the officials away so easily.

It had to be known that this Prefecture Overseer had already been hinted at by others to teach her a lesson. If she didn't have a special reason, she wouldn't have left so easily.

Lin Qingyao might even be charged with murder.

However, she still didn't say anything. She slightly raised her chin and ordered someone to send out the Prefecture Overseer.

She walked in front of Yun Qingrao with light steps, and with a slight smile, she said, "I'm afraid that my little sister will be frightened after suffering such grievances for the next two days. Hong'er, arrange two maidservant to serve her well. From today onwards, you will be staying …"

Mo Linyan stayed silent for a while, "Let's just stay in Enchanting Garden!"

The moment this name was mentioned, many people's expressions changed.

Mo Linyan's expression was still gentle and graceful. She gently reached out and grabbed Yun Qingrao's wrist, giving off the appearance of a sister bowing to a bride.

"If you enter the gates of the Prince's Mansion, then we will be family. If you have any grievances in the future, feel free to come and find me. I will not let anyone bully you!"

A faint smile appeared on Mo Linyan's smooth face and she looked at everyone with a kind gaze. If Yun Qingrao hadn't seen through the culprit and understood Mo Linyan's personality, she would probably have been deceived by her appearance.

As expected of someone from the same background, he was skilled in using the techniques in the backyard.

However, she had targeted the wrong person. She, Yun Qingrao, would not stay in the backyard to fight for a favor. She had more important things to do.

"Thank you for your concern, wangfei!"

Mo Linyan unintentionally patted Yun Qingrao on the shoulder before leading the rest of the group away.

Yun Qingrao tilted her head and caught a whiff of the remaining fragrance in Mo Linyan's palm. It wasn't particularly rich. If it weren't for Yun Qingrao's constant vigilance, she wouldn't have noticed it.

Seeing Yun Qingrao turn her head to look at her shoulder, maidservant, who was called Hong'er, hurriedly said, "Concubine Lin, the wangfei has really treated you well. That Enchanting Garden is the best courtyard in the entire estate, the two wangfei have always shouted that they want to stay there, but never thought that the wangfei would give it to you personally!"

Yun Qingrao remained calm and collected as she showed a grateful and innocent expression on her face.

Only then did Hong'er lead the other two maidservant and brought Yun Qingrao to the new yard in satisfaction.

The Enchanting Garden was located to the south of the enormous Duke Palace. It was a single courtyard, very far from the crowd, and very quiet.

He pushed the door open and saw that the yard was clean and tidy.

In the courtyard, there were many bright red, intoxicating flowers.

The big red bone flower that was swaying in the wind caused ripples to form in the hearts of people. However, the moment Yun Qingrao saw the flower, her pupils shrank.

Just because the flower was poisonous.

The fragrance that filled the air was able to create hallucinations as time passed. Back then, she had even used this flower to teach others a lesson, so she knew the function of this flower the best.

Now, someone actually dared to use this against her.

However, the Drunken Heart Flower shouldn't grow here. Furthermore, why did Gong Liuyu transplant such a large piece of it? Even if it was used to harm people, it shouldn't be so blatant.

Yun Qingrao walked to the side of the flowers. She pretended that she didn't understand as she picked up a stalk and carefully examined it.

"There are actually such beautiful flowers in this palace, it is truly breathtaking!"

Seeing that Yun Qingrao dared to come close, a cold glint flashed past Hong'er's eyes, and the corner of her mouth rose in a smile.

"That's right. The wangfei has taken a fancy to Concubine Lin!"

"You, and you, help me pick some of these flowers and send them to my room in a bottle!"

Hong'er looked at the slender finger pointing at her, her eyes flustered.

This flower was extremely poisonous. She had personally witnessed maidservant gathering flowers here, and she died from the poison the next day.

Now, this woman actually wanted them to pick the flowers. This was clearly harming them.

Hong'er tried her best to resist the urge to tell them the truth. She saw Yun Qingrao still moving around the flowers, assigning this task to two third-rate maidservant.

"You two go help!"

"Aunty Hong, we …"

Those two weren't idiots. After staying in the mansion for so many years, they had learned nothing.

Yun Qingrao heard the commotion behind her and looked over doubtfully. "What? Sister Wang said that I can go find her if I feel wronged. You guys are people she gave to me. Can't I make you do anything trivial? Forget it, I can't afford to keep idle people like you in my courtyard!"
