Chapter 986 Is she a spy?

"There is no one now, Steward He, can you tell me?"

Pushing back the guards around her, Yun Xi stood in the winding corridor, looking at the hazy mountains shrouded in smog in the distance, her delicate little face looked a bit serious, no longer the usual gentleness.

And standing beside her was Butler He with a respectful expression.

Seeing some dissatisfaction between Yunxi's eyebrows, Steward He lowered his head even lower:
"Your Highness, it is really because this matter is of great importance and may threaten the safety of the two Highnesses, the old slave has to say it."

Steward He's heavy words reached his ears, and Yunxi finally shifted his gaze to him, with a somewhat stern tone:

"What safety? You speak clearly."

"The girl Jiang brought into the mansion by His Royal Highness..." Steward He frowned and was about to reveal the information he had found, but was taken aback by Princess Seven who suddenly raised her voice.

"Bring it back? Who brought who back? Didn't Yueyue go into the mansion with the troupe?"

Yun Xi's eyes widened, wondering if she had heard wrong.

"His Royal Highness ordered the old slave to find the head of the class, and when he was asked to come, he must bring Miss Jiang." He Butler explained.

No wonder...

Yun Xi's face turned pale at this moment, she felt strange, why did my aunt want to hold a dinner party all of a sudden when she was clearly ill?But if this is the elder brother's arrangement, everything makes sense.

"And then? What the hell are you trying to say?"

Forcing herself to ignore the unhappiness in her heart, Yun Xi fixed her eyes on the old man in front of her.

"What I want to say is that a maid saw the unique marks of the Nannu people on the girl surnamed Jiang. She may be a spy who sneaked in. I don't know what she wants to do when she approaches the two Highnesses. Please be alert, Your Highness, don't Be deceived by this treacherous person!"

Yun Xi's heart sank suddenly, as if a huge wave was rushing towards her face, she almost couldn't hold on and fell down.

She took a few deep breaths to calm down her turbulent mood:

"There is no evidence for what you say, what evidence do you have?"

"The maid who took Jiang Yingyue's bath last night is in the princess mansion right now. If the princess doesn't believe it, she can find out when she goes back."

"I don't believe you," Yun Xi frowned a little more, looking at Butler He with scrutiny in his eyes:

"That's just a little girl, how could she recognize the mark of the Nannu people?"

"That's because Lord Hou once set a rule when he was alive. Everyone in the Hou Mansion must recognize Nannu's mark and be able to distinguish the accent of Nannu people. Even after his death, this old slave still dare not be slighted. .”

I don't know if he thought of the original owner, butler He's voice was a little mournful.

Yun Xi also remembered that when her short-lived uncle was alive, it was because of his meritorious service in resisting the Nannu people that his father made an exception and made him the Marquis of Huai'an, and married him to the aunt of the eldest princess, a veritable special favor.

It is said that when my uncle was alive, his uncle ruled in a dignified manner, and his parents were killed by the Nannu people, so he hated the Nannu people to the bone, so it is not impossible for the government to have such a request.

In addition, her aunt had also told her that Butler He was originally the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion and was loyal to her uncle.

After thinking about it, Yun Xi's suspicion gradually became less serious.

but……

"Since this matter is so serious, why don't you tell your brother or your aunt, but choose to talk to me?"

She stared at him with piercing eyes and a majestic expression, which was quite scary.
