Yun Shang turned around and saw Liu Yinfeng looking at her. She was surprised, so she smiled at him and looked away.
The seventh prince smiled and said, "since brother moved here, I haven't seen the splendid mansion for a long time. If you don't mind, would you like to give us a tour of the mansion?"
Hearing the seventh Prince's words, Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang both became vigilant all of a sudden. After a moment's silence, Yun Shang laughed, "Of course we don't mind. You are our brother. After Prince Rui and I moved in, we didn't have time to take care of the mansion. Except for our own yard, everything has been the same as before. Nothing has changed. If your highness wants to have a tour around the mansion, then let's go. "
Luo Qingyan also nodded his head and helped Yun Shang to stand up. Then they walked out out of the room from the other side of the garden house.
"If my memory serves me right, this should be a peach garden," The seventh prince said as he walked out of the garden house.
"That's right. But it's not the time for the peach blossoms. It should be in the next two months. By then, the peach blossoms will be in full bloom and it will be beautiful." Yun Shang replied with a smile on her face.
After passing through the peach blossom garden, they entered a circular door, and the road was divided into a lake in the middle, and hallway was at both sides. On the left was the yard where Yun Shang lived now, and on the right was the main yard where the former crown prince lived before.
The seventh prince walked out of the door and turned right, saying with a smile, "I used to fish in this lake before, and the crown prince was still alive at that time. Once we had a dispute over some trifles, and the two of us fell into the lake. Later, father scolded us both because of it."
Yun Shang smiled but didn't reply. She was confused. The seventh Prince didn't just come here to pay his respects to the new year. But why did he go to the backyard at all costs?
Just as Yun Shang was thinking about it, she saw Qian Zhuo coming from ahead. Yun Shang stopped and frowned slightly. The yard they lived was on the left. Why did Qian Zhuo come out from this direction?
After hesitating for a while, she realized that they must have locked Liu Chuchu in a yard of this direction, and that they had just ordered Qian Zhuo to remove Liu Chuchu's corpses.
And the seventh prince had made every effort to lead them here, that was exactly what he wanted.
That is to say, the seventh prince must have known that Liu Chuchu in the seventh Prince's mansion that day was not the real Liu Chuchu and that she had been brought to the Prince Rui's mansion by them.
Seeing what was going on, Qian Zhuo held Hua Yutong in her arms in a hurry.
"Are you okay, your highness?" Yun Shang asked with concern.
It seemed that Hua Yutong was also frightened by that. She didn't recover from the shock, and after a while, she replied, "I'm fine. I just slipped on something."
Hearing this, all the people looked down. They saw a white pearl on the ground, which seemed to have fallen from someone's shoes or hairpins. The pearl was also covered with red embroidered cloth.
Qian Zhuo bent down and picked up the pearl. She asked curiously, "what's this?"
Suddenly, Lady Liu rushed to them, staring at the pearl in Qian Zhuo's hand. Her face turned pale all of a sudden. "It's my daughter's. This is the pearl on Chuchu's shoes."
