Even if someone accepts them, they would still be looked down upon. If there is no good man, it’s better not to marry; they can protect them for a lifetime.

They actually feel quite guilty; if they had acted earlier, their sister wouldn’t have ended up there.

Wu Liang: "Yes, Miss Ashui."

"I haven’t eaten lunch, and it’s almost dinnertime," Ashui said, "Can you ask the Princess Consort?"

Wu Liang shook his head: "The Princess Consort said no."

Ashui: "Alright then."

"I’ll go warm the dishes."

It was almost dark when Qiann Yan finally came out of the room. The medicine was ready; now she just needed a chance to get Jing Lingyu to drink it.

She remembered Jing Lingyu’s injury; enough time had passed, he should be able to drink water normally. Previously, the doctor mainly used external medicines for him.

Recently, they likely prescribed some oral medication; maybe tomorrow she could check the kitchen, perhaps there she might find some medicine for Jing Lingyu to take orally.

As she opened the door, Wu Liang standing outside was expected, but she didn’t expect Ashui to be there as well. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Ashui: "Princess Consort, are you hungry?"

Qiann Yan then realized that she indeed needed to eat; she only had breakfast, and now she was genuinely a bit hungry.

Ashui served the food on the table, freshly made for the evening.

While Qiann Yan ate, Ashui stood to the side, wanting to ask something but feeling it wasn’t appropriate to ask too much.

Qiann Yan had no intention of speaking, focusing on her meal.

Ashui felt like she was just a tool, with no other use than cooking and tasting the food.

Does the Princess Consort not feel this is a waste?

"Ashui, what are you looking for in the Prince Mansion?"

Faced with Qiann Yan’s sudden question, Ashui was indeed somewhat taken aback, surprised at how the Princess Consort knew about this.

Seeing Ashui hadn’t responded, Qiann Yan added, "Just asking casually, if it’s inconvenient for you, forget it. But remember at all times that you can do whatever, but you were bought by me."

Ashui: No need to emphasize daily, it’s just for cooking.

"I’m here to find some evidence," Ashui admitted.

She should have been cautious, but Ashui felt there were no secrets to speak of; this Princess Consort seemed to know everything, so she decided to speak honestly.

As it happened, the opposite party and Jing Lingyu were at odds; as they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Showing the medicine to the Princess Consort earlier was with this thought in mind.

Qiann Yan was surprised: "What evidence? If it’s important, it’s most likely in Jing Lingyu’s room; perhaps there are some hidden compartments or secret rooms."

"Exactly, but with many skilled people around him, I’m afraid to alert them," Ashui said openly, confirming the Princess Consort’s apparent dissatisfaction with Jing Lingyu. Serves him right for having misfortune, provoking someone so cunning as this Princess Consort.

"This evidence concerns the injustice faced by hundreds of people in my family," Ashui’s voice suddenly grew heavy, "I’m not sure what I can find in Jing Lingyu’s place, but I’m certain it contains what I need. Once found, it will clear the injustice for hundreds in my family."

Qiann Yan recalled some major cases in this world and quickly picked up some clues.

If her memory served correctly, Ashui also existed in the original owner’s memories.

However, in the original owner’s memory, Ashui was nameless.

According to the information, Ashui was likely the assassin injured by a master of Prince Ling Mansion and fled. It wasn’t long before this assassin was found in one of Jing Lingyu’s associates’ homes, and the outcome wasn’t good.
