Chapter 307 Second Sister is Being Monitored
As they were talking, Du Shangge's voice could already be heard; she waved her hand casually.
"here!"
Du Shangge rushed over and hugged her two friends tightly.
“I didn’t take good care of you last time and got a good scolding from my aunt. I also went with her to get you amulets for protection, and I only had time to bring them to you today.”
She looked.
"Mu Yan...you are Mu Wan, right?"
The younger sister smiled and said, "That's right, Second Sister is away on business."
Du Shangge said smugly, "Let me tell you, I can recognize anyone I've met at a glance."
She put the amulets on the two of them, and stuffed the last one into Si Muyan's hand: "Give this to Mutong later."
Si Muyan handed the amulet to her younger sister and asked Du Shangge, "Is your carriage outside?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Si Muyan said, "I'm a little worried about my second sister. Would you come with me to find her?"
Upon hearing this, Du Shangge became very excited and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, how long has Mu Tong been gone? Let me tell you, my driving skills are superb, I bet even your family's driver isn't as good as me."
She dragged Si Muyan outside, and the two of them got into the carriage together.
There were many people on the road in the early morning, so the second sister's carriage was not moving fast. She asked her maid to stuff the booklets into her clothes one by one.
The maidservant laughed and said, "What are you doing, young lady? You've hidden it so well; it won't be convenient to take it out later."
"I don't know why, but my eyelids keep twitching," the second sister said. "It seems these booklets won't reach the right people. It would be bad if someone else took them, so it's better to hide them."
I had just put the booklets down when I heard a noise outside.
"Second Miss Si, my mistress requests an audience."
The maid lifted the carriage curtain: "Who is your master?"
The man replied, "Your Highness, the Second Prince."
The maid was taken aback and exchanged a glance with her second sister.
The second sister frowned. Shouldn't the Second Prince be at her house? How did he catch up with her so quickly?
The maid replied, "I'm sorry, my young lady has other matters to attend to. Please forgive her, Your Highness."
The noise outside stopped, and the maid breathed a sigh of relief: "They've sent them away."
But the carriage suddenly stopped, and the second sister stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, the maid was quick-witted and caught her.
The second prince lifted the curtain and looked at his second sister.
The second sister was quite annoyed, but she held back her anger and said, "What does Your Highness want to do?"
Every time I see her, I am drawn to her beauty; she is so beautiful and gorgeous.
The second prince felt his heart pounding. He wanted to possess her, to have her as his own, and to prevent anyone from seeing her beauty.
He concealed the look of amazement in his eyes and said calmly, "Second Miss, I just want to help you."
The second sister said coldly, "I do not need Your Highness's help. Please get out of the carriage."
The second prince rubbed his fingers together, and instead of getting out of the carriage, he got in and sat down.
The maidservant was so frightened that she quickly shielded her second sister behind her and glared fiercely at the second prince.
"Your Highness, your actions are against the rules."
The Second Prince simply smiled and said, "I know very well what the Second Miss wants to do. You want to rescue Si Jing'an, right? I can help you."
"you?"
The second sister was a little suspicious, but today was the last day, and if she couldn't find any useful information, it would be too late.
What if the Second Prince could really help?
"How can you help?"
The second prince moved further inside, getting closer to his second sister.
The maid looked at him nervously, but the second sister relaxed her guard.
The second prince was excited inside, but showed no reaction on his face. In fact, he secretly sniffed hard and smelled the fragrance on his second sister. It was completely different from the perfumed scent on the other noble ladies.
He felt his heart fluttering, and he longed to hold the beauty in his arms right now.
“I know of a courtyard where my third brother’s men live, and where many shady characters are hiding… As long as we get the evidence there, we won’t have to worry about Prince Ning being unable to solve this case.”
The second sister asked excitedly, "Really?"
"It's true."
The second sister hesitated and asked, "But if you have such evidence, why don't you just give it to Prince Ning? Why do you have to come to me?"
"Well... he is, after all, my third brother." The Second Prince lowered his eyes slowly. "Even if I feel his actions are wrong, he is still my brother. Can the Second Miss understand my feelings?"
The second sister didn't understand. She believed that even relatives shouldn't be protected, and that justice must prevail over family ties.
“These past few days I’ve been thinking about whether to tell the truth or to keep it from my brother…” The Second Prince’s face was contorted with pain. “Second Miss doesn’t know how uneasy I am. I haven’t done a good job as an elder brother. I failed to guide my brother properly and led him astray. It’s all my fault!”
The second sister understood this feeling. When her brother got into trouble, they, as the older sisters, felt the same way, believing they hadn't taken good care of him.
She comforted him, saying, "It's not the Second Prince's fault; it's the Third Prince who's been too arrogant."
Seeing that his second sister was softening her stance, the second prince breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "I can't bear to see him suffer, but I can't keep quiet about the truth either. I'm caught in a dilemma. I should indeed go to Prince Ning, but... Miss, you may not know, but my situation in the palace is also difficult. If Father finds out that I'm the one who denounced my third brother, then things will be terrible..."
The second sister had also heard that the second prince was not favored by the emperor, who disliked him for not being smart enough. She then understood why the second prince was so afraid of everything.
If we tell Prince Ning, once the truth is uncovered, given Prince Ning's upright and incorruptible nature, he will certainly not cover up for the Second Prince.
"So, you came to find me because you knew I was investigating this case?"
The Second Prince nodded: "After much thought, I can only come and see what your Si family is up to. If someone from your family is investigating the case, then I might not make things difficult for you."
The second sister said respectfully, "Your Highness has thought things through. Please entrust this matter to me. I will never tell anyone else."
"Excellent!" The Second Prince was overjoyed. After stating the location, he got out of the carriage.
The second sister said to the driver, "Turn the cart around and head in that direction."
Du Shangge drove towards Dali Temple and saw her second sister's car in the distance, which made her curious.
"Mu Yan, look, that's your Si family's carriage up ahead. Shouldn't it be the one Mu Tong is riding in? But why isn't she going to the Dali Temple? Where is she going?"
Si Muyan gently lifted the carriage curtain and peeked out. She not only saw her second sister's carriage heading in another direction, but also noticed that many people who appeared to be passing by were actually following her carriage.
There were carriages, pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages, and even merchants, all seemingly watching over the second sister.
Thinking of this, Si Muyan's alarm bells went off, and she immediately said, "Don't go over there yet, Second Sister is being watched."
Du Shangge asked, "Who is so bold as to do this in broad daylight?"
