After some self-brainwashing and self-comfort, Qiucao finally stopped worrying and hid under the window with peace of mind, waiting for Grandma Li's guests to leave and, uh... eavesdropping.

However, Qiucao had just finished mentally building up, when a shocking conversation came from inside the room.
The male voice said: "Catch all the family members of the people on this list, quickly. When you arrest them, remember not to alert others."
Aunt Li exclaimed: "Why, aren't these all the close ministers of the third prince?" [
Third prince?
Qiucao under the window was stunned when she heard this. How could Nanny Li know who the third prince's confidant was? Could it be that... Nanny Li had colluded with the third prince, and she was admitted to Zuixiang Tower not because of Nanny Li's eyes?
Is she pitiful because Nanny Li had already expected that one day she would be sent to Prince Mu's Mansion?
Come to think of it, how could someone who runs a brothel suddenly be so kind and adopt a girl who lives on the street? After adopting her, he didn't ask her to receive customers but just let her stay in Zuixiang House to do odd jobs.
But...since they already knew that one day they would send her to Prince Mu's Mansion, why didn't they train themselves like Li Yingrong from the beginning, instead adopting the method of herding cows to eat grass? Could it be...that they were afraid that she would find out?
Their plan to sneak away to inform King Mu?o
But that’s not right. If you’re afraid of her running away, wouldn’t it be better to feed her some poison that requires antidotes from time to time? So this shouldn’t be the reason, but if it’s not because of this, then what’s the reason?
There was actually a collusion between Nanny Li and the Third Prince... Qiucao felt more and more chilled as she thought about it, and the hairs all over her body stood up. In order to prevent her from hearing any details, Qiucao put her ears up.
At this time, the man's sneering voice came from inside, followed by a disdainful hum, "You just need to be responsible for doing things. No matter what you do, are you a true confidant? After capturing their relatives, the third prince will have his own
Methods allow the truth to come to light.”
Method?
Qiucao was sweating coldly as she listened outside. Could it be that the third prince planned to use torture against the relatives of those officials?

Qiucao thought of the description she heard in the restaurant that day, and her scalp couldn't help but feel numb. Those tortures...even martial arts masters were tortured to death, let alone the pampered family members of officials?
