Astonishment was written all over Yun Shang's face. She shook her head in a hurry and raised her hand to make a gesture before Liu Man finished gesturing, but Wu Duona was impatient. "It's too slow to make a gesture. Tell me directly, what's going on? Otherwise..."
Wu Duona pulled out the sword hanging at the end of the bed and pointed it at Yun Shang's neck.
Liu Man suddenly knelt down and said in panic, "Please forgive us. I know what happened. I have been serving my lady all the time. She can't speak, so she always needs me by her side. I know everything about her."
"Then you shall tell me what happened."
Liu Man nodded in a hurry, "Didn't Lady Mina come here yesterday morning? It was your old servant who took her here."
"Lady Mina?" Wu Duona narrowed her eyes and looked at Liu Man. "Didn't she come to ask for facial cream from Lady Wanna?"
"Yes, she also brought a letter from the city lord and the sachet my lady gave to you."
Wu Duona frowned, "Is that sachet brought here by Mina? Then why did you say it was made by Lady Wanna?"
"It's from Lady Mina. According to the letter written by the city lord, your birthday is coming soon. The city lord wants to give you a surprise, so he specially prepared the sachet for you. But he feels that if you know the surprise, it won't be a surprise. He asked my lady to find a way to give the sachet to you.
My lady was touched when he saw the city lord dote on you so much and try every means to surprise you. She agreed and said that she made the sachet herself and handed it to you.
Although my lady knows how to make people's skin better with herbs, she doesn't know much about the aromatic spices from the State of Xia. She only thinks that the sachet smells good, and you will like it. She knows nothing..."
Wu Duona gritted her teeth, but she believed almost all of what Liu Man said. After all, Yun Shang had been with her for a long time, and Yun Shang had made all her facial cream, and even tea. If Yun Shang wanted to do it, she would have countless opportunities.
However, although she knew it clearly, she was still very angry. "You said that the city lord of the Wu Er'he City used Lady Wanna to give the sachet to me. Do you have any proof?"
Liu Man turned to look at Yun Shang and gestured to her quickly.
Tears were welling up in Yun Shang's eyes, as if she was frightened by the scene in front of her. Seeing the content of the Liu Man's gesture, Yun Shang kept nodding and gestured, "Yes, there is evidence."
Then Yun Shang took out the letter that Lady Mina gave her yesterday from her sleeve. "This is a letter from Lady Mina. I don't recognize words, and my maid read it for me."
Liu Man hurriedly handed the letter to Wu Duona and said, "Yes, this letter was brought by Lady Mina. Please have a look."
Wu Duona took the letter and quickly glanced at it. Gritting her teeth, she pounded the letter on the table and said, "Somebody, go..."
Before Wu Duona finished her words, she heard hurried footsteps from outside. Then, the butler's voice came from outside, "My lady, I just went to the city lord's mansion to deliver your order. But when I arrived at his mansion, I found that his mansion had already been empty, and there were only a few servants left to guard the mansion.
I asked the servants carefully. They said that the city lord left the city with his family last night."
Yun Shang didn't understand what the butler said, but she only saw that Wu Duona's face suddenly turned ghastly pale. She pounded the table and said, "Send someone to chase after him. After we catch him, kill him immediately."
