Chapter 551 Du Mingxian's Identity is Discovered
The Crown Prince waved his hand, "Don't worry, I will send people to investigate these matters. Once I have a simple investigation into what they are doing here, I can arrest them on any charge."
Du Mingxian understood immediately and arrested them. If they did not admit their true identities, she could beat or kill them without anyone saying anything.
But if the two of them admit their true identities, that would be interesting. A princess and prince from another country coming to Da Shun, concealing their identities and going undercover, could easily become spies and even negotiate for the transfer of documents. No matter how you look at it, it would be beneficial to Da Shun.
"There's another thing I've never understood: a crown prince and a young master have been in Da Shun for several years without making a move, and they've been operating undercover. Their schemes must be quite ambitious."
The Crown Prince was aware of this as well. "That's why I can't act rashly. I'll wait until I understand their intentions before making a decision."
"it is good."
"I'm relieved to see you're alright. Did you write to your grandmother?"
Du Mingxian was taken aback at first, then realized what she meant, "I've written it, Your Highness, please rest assured."
The Crown Prince chuckled, "You and Ling Silang work for me, so naturally I have to care about you."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Okay, you go back first."
"Yes."
Du Mingxian returned to the Tian residence first, and was immediately summoned to the room by Miss Tian. She was a little uneasy.
"Your husband is back so soon?" Miss Tian sat in front of the mirror, looking at her through the mirror.
Du Mingxian lowered her eyes and said meekly, "Miss, my husband was worried that if I came back late and I wasn't there when you needed me to do something, I wouldn't be able to serve you well and would be letting you down with the high wages you paid. So he asked me to come back early and do my best to serve you well."
"Your husband is a good man. He always thinks of you and is so considerate that it makes people jealous."
"Yes miss."
A hint of coldness flashed in Miss Tian's eyes, but her words were very gentle, "Alright, starting tomorrow, you will come and serve me."
“Young Miss, I am currently pregnant and not as quick as the other sisters. I’m afraid I won’t be able to take good care of you.”
Miss Tian waved her hand, "It's nothing, I just wanted to keep you around to relieve my boredom."
"Yes." Du Mingxian couldn't refuse, so she could only agree.
"By the way, starting today, you should not leave the manor. It's inconvenient with your big belly. Recently, the servants have found some other fresh foods for me, as I no longer like fruit."
"I will send someone out the day after tomorrow to tell your husband that he no longer needs to send you anything. It's not convenient for you to be pregnant. If he wants to see you in the future, he may have to come to the manor."
Du Mingxian's heart skipped a beat; she must have been exposed.
First, the fruit attracted attention; everything seemed imperfect, indicating that she had been discovered and was now being placed under house arrest.
Seeing that Du Mingxian remained silent, Miss Tian asked in a deep voice, "Are you dissatisfied with my arrangements?"
"No, I'll leave everything to Miss's arrangements."
"Hmm." Miss Tian was extremely satisfied.
That afternoon, Du Mingxian didn't have to serve Miss Tian, but stayed in her room by herself, and she lost the opportunity to leave the mansion at any time.
How could she send a message to the outside world, telling them that she was alright?
She couldn't think of a good solution all night. Now she could only pray that the Crown Prince wouldn't act impulsively and that Ling Silang would trust her after hearing the news.
The next morning, she went to serve Miss Tian.
Miss Tian has two maids by her side, one named Dong'er and the other Nan'er.
Both of them were used to serving others and had no intention of sharing their work with Du Mingxian. Du Mingxian went up to ask them.
Dong'er smiled and said, "We're not good with words and can't please our master. You're good at pleasing her, so just chat with her to pass the time. We don't need you for anything else."
So, is she still just a mascot in front of Miss Tian?
Watching Miss Tian finish getting ready, and seeing her stand up, he said, "Xiao Du, will you come out with me in a bit?"
"Yes."
Miss Tian went to eat, and they served her. Halfway through the meal, Miss Tian suddenly asked, "Little Du has been in the manor for a while now. Is he getting used to the food?"
"I'm not used to it. I used to eat simple meals at home, but now the food at the manor is very good. Even though I've been here for a while, I'm still not used to it."
Miss Tian seemed thoughtful. "I thought you'd get used to it."
Du Mingxian did not answer.
After the meal, if Miss Tian wanted tea, her personal attendants would take turns eating.
To ensure her nutrition, Du Mingxian always took her food back to her room and ate it in her space. But she couldn't do that today and had to eat with everyone.
The maids, servants, and young men in Miss Tian's courtyard were a bit better; everyone was quiet. After eating, they washed the dishes themselves before leaving.
Du Mingxian got up to go to the outhouse, and Nan'er caught up with her, "Little Du, let's go together."
"I need to go to the outhouse."
"Perfect timing, I want to go too."
"Then together."
From that moment on, she was absolutely certain that Miss Tian must have become suspicious of her identity, which was why she did this. Nan'er had come to eat with her to spy on her.
The latrine in the mansion smelled terrible, and she entered the spatial dimension the moment she entered the latrine.
He let out a long sigh of relief, then slowly tidied himself up before leaving the space and the outhouse.
Nan'er was indeed outside. "All done?"
"Ah."
"Let's go then." Nan'er naturally stepped forward and took her arm. "Miss was worried that it might be inconvenient for you with your big belly, so she asked us to pay extra attention to your safety."
Du Mingxian readily agreed, "Okay, it is indeed a bit inconvenient. I'm really grateful to have someone taking care of me."
"You and Miss are destined to be together."
Du Mingxian smiled and said nothing more.
The two returned to Miss Tian's room together, and Du Mingxian and Dong'er followed Miss Tian as they left the Tian residence.
There were two carriages outside the mansion. Miss Tian got into the first one, while Du Mingxian and Dong'er got into the second one.
The carriage soon arrived at its destination. Du Mingxian got off the carriage and discovered that... it was in the suburbs. There were also several other young masters and ladies in the crowd. She spotted Hongguo at a glance.
She glanced at it briefly before looking away immediately, as if she hadn't seen it at all.
Dong'er seemed to be a kind-hearted person. Standing aside, he quietly introduced the young men and women who came to Du Mingxian, including those from merchant families and those from official families.
Miss Tian is very popular among everyone because she is the Crown Princess of Prince Ming.
This popularity immediately drew attention to Du Mingxian.
"When did Miss Tian change her confidante?"
"The new guy who was transferred to my side yesterday is someone I have a connection with."
The young lady who asked the question was quite shocked. "Miss Tian, this lady seems to be pregnant."
"Yes, she wasn't originally a member of my household. She was a free woman, and she was already pregnant when she entered the household," Miss Tian explained with a smile.
Upon hearing this, many young men and women praised him.
