Chen Ning's smile disappeared and her eyes revealed a thoughtful look.
Other than the reason she had told Xiao Tao, she had another important reason for coming to the bridal chamber. That was to find the person who had poisoned her bird's nest porridge three days ago!
The courtyard door was not bolted, so it opened with a gentle push.
Inside was a small courtyard. After passing through a stone path, there was a row of five rooms.
Chen Ning remembered that her bridal chamber was in the middle. Looking around, she saw that the other four rooms were completely dark. Only the room in the middle had candlelight, so it was clear that there was someone inside.
She gave Xiao Ru a look and the two of them quietly walked over. When they arrived in front of the door, they saw that the door was ajar and there were two maidservants rummaging through the cabinets, picking and choosing.
"Elder sister Chun Tao, this princess is really poor. The dowry she brought is really shabby." The maidservant named Xia He had a round face. She took out a few pieces of Chen Ning's clothes from the suitcase. After looking at them, she threw them to the side with a look of disgust.
"That's right, I heard that she is not liked by anyone in the duke's palace, what kind of good things could she have as a dowry. Let's quickly look through it and see if there's anything valuable. We'll just throw out the trash." Chun Tao had an oval face and two slanted eyebrows. She looked a bit harsh and her words were just as harsh as her appearance.
When Xiao Ru saw these two maidservants, she couldn't help but become angry.
She clearly remembered that these two maidservants were sent by his highness to serve the young miss when the young miss was married. However, the two of them looked down on the young miss and ignored her.
The young miss had fainted after drinking the bird's nest porridge. She had cried and begged the two maidservants to call a doctor and report to his highness, but the two of them had coldly snorted. One said she had something to do and the other said her leg hurt, so they just left.
When she took a closer look, she was so angry that her heart and lungs almost exploded.
Because the boxes that the two maidservants were rummaging through were actually the young miss' dowry!
The two dowry boxes were open and the young miss' dowry clothes were all messed up, scattered all over the ground. The two of them were still mocking the young miss for being poor, how could she endure it?
When she was about to explode, Chen Ning pulled her back and whispered in her ear, "Shh, don't be impatient. Let's listen to what they're saying."
"Ya, elder sister Chun Tao, look at what I found? It's really beautiful. "
Xiahe took out two sachets from the bottom of the chest, one red and the other green. Although she didn't know what was inside, the two sachets were embroidered with gold and silver, which made them look different.
When Xiao Ru saw this, she became excited and almost wanted to rush in to steal it.
These two scented sachets were left behind by the late Madam to Eldest Young Miss. Eldest Young Miss had always treated them as treasures. How could they fall into the hands of these two maidservants?
Chen Ning reached out and grabbed her. She shook her head at her, telling her not to act rashly as she continued to look through the crack in the door.
"Xiao's Xiao. "Ning!"
In the room, the two servant girls opened the sachet and took out two jade bracelets with a soft and beautiful luster. The two of them breathed heavily as they stared unblinkingly at the jade bracelets.
Under the candlelight, the jade bracelets glowed and released an intoxicating glow.
Chun Tao and Xia He had seen quite a few good things, so they did not care about normal things. But after seeing these two jade bracelets, the two of them could no longer remain calm.
