Chapter 83: Confession

Ning Yue frowned. No wonder her master liked to travel around. So he was rejecting the invitation to the palace.

“Did Master have any conflict with the palace?” Ning Yue asked.

“There’s no conflict. Your master just doesn’t like how hypocritical the people in the palace are,” Jiang Ying said.

This was indeed in line with Master’s personality.

Ning Yue didn’t say anything else, and the two of them fell silent.

At this moment, a servant from Jiang Ying’s residence walked over with a serious expression. “Miss Ning, that servant girl has woken up. She keeps saying that she wants to leave.”

“Take me there. Also, get someone to prepare a brush and paper.” Without another word, Ning Yue followed the servant to the servant girl’s guest room.

Ning Yue gestured at the servant girl. She asked if the servant girl knew how to write, and the servant girl said that she did.

Ning Yue took a brush and paper and wrote down her question to the servant girl.

“Was your deafness born like this, or was there another reason?”

She asked an irrelevant question.

The servant girl scribbled a few words on a piece of paper. When she was young, she fell from the mountains and hurt her head. After that, she could no longer speak.

Ning Yue frowned. If her head was injured, it would at most damage the area in her brain that controlled her speech. How could she not hear?

She sized up the servant girl without batting an eyelid. The servant girl didn’t know what she was thinking either. Feeling a little embarrassed by her gaze, she lowered her head.

Ning Yue continued to write on the paper. “I can treat you.”

The servant girl’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Treating her? She had met many doctors. All of them said that no one could treat her condition except Guo Bao, the national medical sage, and Gu Yu, the old divine doctor.

“Really? But I don’t have any money.” The servant girl was very happy.

But after the joy, there was disappointment.

She had no money. If she had money, she could find these two to treat her.

“I don’t need money to treat you. I just saw that your background was very pitiful, so I decided to treat you. Are you willing to give it a try?” Ning Yue asked.

When the maidservant heard this, the tears in her eyes fell from the corners of her eyes and landed on the paper. With a clatter, the handwriting on the paper became blurry.

“What do you want to know?” The maidservant wrote it down.

“I just want to know why you’re there,” Ning Yue replied.

Through Jiang Ying’s investigation, she could roughly guess what that Matriarch of the General’s Residence had done.

It didn’t matter if she investigated or not. As for the reason why this servant girl had appeared, it was a very important testimony. If possible, she had to leave evidence behind.

The servant girl thought for a while and wrote on the paper. “A man gave me a salary and asked me to deliver a meal every day. He gave me 30 taels of silver a month, so I agreed.”

A man? Ning Yue frowned. She didn’t know that man’s name. Was he working for that old madam?

“Do you know that man’s name?” Ning Yue wrote again.

The servant hesitated, as if she was making a huge decision.

Seeing this, Ning Yue wrote another sentence on the paper. “Are you afraid that others will find out that you told me what happened?”

The servant girl shook her head. She made up her mind and wrote on the paper. “I heard those people call him Uncle Fu. I also heard them mention the General’s Residence.”

Hear?

Ning Yue looked at the maidservant in surprise. She could indeed hear her!

“Are you pretending to be deaf? Why?” Ning Yue asked.

The servant sighed and wrote on the paper. “I used to be a servant of a rich family. After I heard some secrets that I shouldn’t have known, I was forced to pretend to be deaf. Later on, I left with this secret. Coincidentally, I was injured and couldn’t speak and this group of people came looking for me.”

Ning Yue looked at the maidservant in surprise. For some reason, she felt that the secret the maidservant was carrying was very important.

“Why do you trust me so much? You told me all this the first time you saw me. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell anyone?”

The servant girl smiled and wrote on the paper. “You’re with Prince Jiang. I believe Prince Jiang won’t mistake you for someone else.”

“You know Jiang Ying?” Ning Yue asked the servant girl in surprise.
