Chapter 256: Chapter 250: "Mother, Have You Also Heard Those Rumors?" (2)

At that moment, Ruan Mian saw familiar Birds and Beasts flying to the house, circling overhead, heading southeast, as if they intended to lead her away.

Her eyes slightly moved, unexpected that the Birds and Beasts had already found Ruan Jiao’s whereabouts.

As expected, she fled to Wuheng.

Seeing this, she used the excuse of going to the post station, riding her horse, following the Birds and Beasts out of the mountains.

Only when the Birds and Beasts stopped on the eaves, did Ruan Mian dismount from the horse.

Before her was the Governor Mansion. So, was Ruan Jiao hiding in this Governor Mansion at this moment?

Before she could go in to investigate, a grand carriage slowly approached.

Ruan Mian turned, hiding herself in the alley, only peeking out with her eyes.

When the carriage stopped, a young woman dressed in an indigo gown alighted from the carriage, her hairstyle simple but elaborate.

Given her appearance, she was definitely not an ordinary person.

In her confusion, two young servants suddenly dragged a female slave out of the Governor Mansion, forcing her to kneel in front of the woman.

The female slave trembled in fear, quickly kowtowing and pleading, "Com... Commandery Princess!! Spare me, I have never tried to seduce the Marquis, I serve him diligently every day like other female slaves, I..."

Before she could finish, the woman glanced at the old nanny beside her.

The old nanny made a gesture to the young servants, and they pressed the female slave to the ground again, stuffing something in her mouth.

The old nanny held a tool, approaching with an unchanged expression, grabbing the hand of the female slave and mercilessly pulling out one of her fingernails.

The female slave whimpered in pain, her veins bulging all over her body.

The old nanny swiftly, with no hesitation, quickly pulled out all ten of the female slave’s fingernails.

The female slave passed out from the pain, losing consciousness.

Only then did the Commandery Princess have the servants remove the female slave, coldly smiling at the bloody fingernails.

"In this world, there are always some oblivious things, clearly not theirs, yet vainly attempting to reach for it."

The old nanny quickly caught the handkerchief, "Dear Commandery Princess, all the female slaves in the mansion will be dealt with by your old servant. However... this old servant also heard that recently the Marquis had his eye on a dancer, though this dancer has yet to be found by your old servant."

"A dancer?"

Ruan Mian, witnessing all this, slightly moved her eyes, immediately recognizing this person as likely Chen Bozong’s wife, Princess Jiaceng.

According to the original book, she was still loyal to the Fifth Princess.

Now it seems, she cannot tolerate any sand in her eyes, and who exactly is this dancer mentioned by the old nanny?

If there were to be no female relatives or slaves in the mansion, then where exactly was Ruan Jiao hiding in the mansion?

She turned to enter the alley, letting the Birds and Beasts stand before her, hoping to ask about Ruan Jiao’s exact location.

Unfortunately, the Birds and Beasts shook their heads.

It seems they could only sense that Ruan Jiao was somewhere in this vast Governor Mansion, but as for the exact direction, further investigation was needed.

However, Princess Jiaceng’s unexpected presence turned out to be an aid.

Ruan Mian did not startle the snake at this moment, instead already having a plan in her heart. She intended to go to the post station to see Xie Huai’an next, since she was already here.

But coincidentally, Xie Huai’an was not at the post station, and according to Vice Minister Dong, he had already heard about the silk worms being poisoned and rushed to the house to meet her.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mian quickly returned to the house.

Sure enough, she saw Xie Huai’an in the oak forest. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

She saw him crouching on the ground, holding many dead silkworm corpses in his hand, seemingly pondering something.

"Sir!"

Upon hearing the voice, Xie Huai’an suddenly returned to his senses, smiling and standing up.

"I saw you so focused, have you thought of a way to bring these creatures back to life?"

Faced with Ruan Mian’s teasing, Xie Huai’an was rather helpless, "I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed, my dear... I still lack this ability."

She smiled, naturally nestling close to him, linking her arm with his, her bright eyes observing his face.

"Since this has happened, there is no room for reversal."

"Like my husband, I too lack the ability to revive them, but some can still be saved."

With those words, Ruan Mian led him to a house in the oak forest, a place where the caretakers rest on duty.

The water jar inside was filled with a large pot of water, and she filled several water bags.

"These are antidote waters I specially prepared. As long as the silk worms are not fully dead, with this antidote water, they might still have a chance."

Upon seeing this, Xie Huai’an simply used a wooden bucket to scoop a full bucket of water, followed Ruan Mian, and the two of them went back and forth through the oak forest, pouring the Spiritual Spring water over.
