On the other side of the veranda, several women exclaimed.
"Ah! Princess! Your face!"
"Ah! There's blood! Someone's hurt the county lady!"
"Call the court doctor quickly!"
"Quickly arrest the culprit! How dare he hurt the county lady!"
One of them had a frantic voice: "Ahhhhh! Come here, find the person who hurt this county lady! Beat him to death!"
County Princess? Zhou Zhiying?
Song Qingting thought of a certain little bully in her memory. He was a barbarian she despised, with no manners and only knowing how to be unreasonable. But she couldn't stand her good status. Her mother was a queen, her uncle was the emperor! And because she had suffered in the past, these elders loved her especially.
Hearing a large number of footsteps coming towards her, Song Qingting quickly got up and ran in the opposite direction, determined not to get caught. Her forehead was still swollen, and anyone who saw her would be suspicious of her!
"The stone the county lady just threw is right here! The bad guy must have been here!"
A burly madam picked up a stone tied with a pink ribbon from the grass.
County Princess Zhou Zhiying disappeared at the age of three and lived in the countryside for ten years. She didn't know the tricks that the nobles played. After she was found, she was pampered and no one forced her to learn, so the games she could play were very simple.
Just now, the county lady and her friends were throwing rocks into the water, competing to see who could throw the farthest. But the county lady missed her throw, aiming to the left instead of forward. Just as she was rueing her loss, a rock fell from the sky, leaving a bloody scar on her face. Nanny quickly sent someone to chase after the man, while she stayed behind to search for clues, hoping the man might have left anything behind in his hasty escape. Unfortunately, she searched for a long time but couldn't find any jade pendants or purses.
Another younger maidservant sniffed hard and exclaimed in surprise, "Madam Jing, isn't that the incense the county lady used today? This incense costs one hundred gold coins per ounce, and Xiangguifang only sells one ounce per month. This month's incense is in our county lady's hands, so it must have been purchased a while ago."
Aunt Jing looked at the maid with admiration and said happily, "This incense is definitely not something that ordinary people can use. Maybe by following this scent, we can find that person! I'll have someone go to Xiangguifang and have someone pay attention to the incense of these nobles. I want to see which noble person came to the banquet and hurt the host family. What's the reason?"
When the servants who had chased out brought back several young ladies and masters they had met along the way, Nanny Jing asked about the situation and, after confirming that there was no suspicion, she directly apologized to the young ladies and masters and let them go.
One of the young men hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke: "Just now I saw a woman in a pink dress covering her face and running away quickly. She even bumped into me."
Nanny Jing stood closer and could indeed smell a faint fragrance.
It seems the person who injured the county lady was a woman! Her face might have been injured, but she might have covered her face because she was afraid of being recognized.
"Do you know her?"
The man shook his head.
Madam Jing was not discouraged. She knew that the reason for the pink dress and the special incense was that the area could be narrowed down. She thanked the young man profusely and led his men away.
Under the shade of a tree, a man in a green brocade robe stood with his hands behind his back, and next to him stood a follower in black clothes.
Because they were standing in a rather subtle place, they wouldn't have noticed anyone standing there unless they looked carefully, so they witnessed the farce.
The attendant whispered, "My Lord, the woman who just ran over looks a bit like the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She has a big bump on her forehead. If she's caught..."
Wei Ying thought of the woman who had just limped, fallen to the ground, and then got up and ran madly. A complicated look flashed in his eyes.
