Chapter 731 A Familiar Person (2/2)

”Has your brother never sent you any message since he left?” Yun Shang turned to Wang Jinyan.

Wang Jinyan shook her head at first, and then suddenly remembered something. She quickly said, ”Four days ago, when he went out of the Palace, he told me that Prince Jing asked him to do something with him. The second morning, he came back to tell me that he would probably go somewhere far away and asked me not to worry about him.”

Somewhere far away.

Yun Shang curled her lips, and an idea occurred to her.

The news she got from Wang Jinyan coincided with her previous guess.

Seeing that Yun Shang kept asking her about her brother, Wang Jinyan felt relieved and asked, ”I heard that you had a conflict with a concubine in the Palace and forced her to die?”

Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled and said softly, ”So rumor goes like this among the servants.” Then she said nothing more about it.

After a pause, Yun Shang walked to a chair and sat down. She looked up at Wang Jinyan and said, ”Well, now could you tell me why you become a maid in Xiang Zhu Palace?

Hearing this, Wang Jinyan pouted and whined, ”I thought you've forgotten this...”

Yun Shang just raised her eyebrows and said nothing.

Wang Jinyan sighed and said in a somewhat depressed tone, ”In fact, I was forced by my brother. He said I should do him a favor in return for that he help me run away from the wedding. He asked me to sneak into the Palace and meet Lady Xiang in Xiang Zhu Palace. I told Lady Xiang that I was Wang Jinyan from the State of Ning and I was sent here by Shang'er for some mission.”

Wang Jinyan lowered her head dejectedly, ”She believed it and let me stay in her palace.”

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, ”Why did your brother ask you to go to Xiang Zhu Palace?”

Wang Jinyan waved her hand casually and said, ”My brother said that Lady Xiang would become my sister-in-law sooner or later. He asked me to protect her.”
