บท 335: Confrontation

Upon hearing Song Minghui's question, not only Yu Niang, but even the expressions of the old madam and Marquis Beining changed. They didn't pay much attention to it previously, but now that Song Minghui reminded them, they realized that there was someone missing.

"Mei'er might be resting in the room. She has always been timid, so after what happened today, she must have been frightened."

Yu Xiaoniang's lips quivered as she explained with a forced smile.

However, Song Minghui didn't give her a chance to explain and said with a smile, "In that case, why did you arrange for people to search the residence?"

"I-I didn't search for anyone. You're mistaken." Yu Niang was shocked, but she tried her best to maintain her composure and retorted, "Since something like this happened today, I just arranged for servants to clean and check the courtyard to prevent people from taking the opportunity to cause trouble. Is there a problem?"
