Chen Mancang was brimming with pride, feeling as if he had finally seen through the mist to reveal the moon.
No wonder the shepherd always controlled the amount of water the sheep drank; so that's what it was about!
Who could have figured this out? If it weren't for today's lucky fluke of falling into the vat, he might have been kept in the dark his whole life.
Meanwhile, Chen Mancang was laughing foolishly to himself, not noticing that the cooks and servants in the kitchen had already surrounded him with knives and staffs.
The Prince's secret of eating people was unknown to these mansion servants; they only saw that the sheep in the kitchen were gone, but a person had appeared in the water vat.
Everyone instinctively thought Chen Mancang was a sheep thief.
Seeing the sheep pelts on the ground, they upgraded the seriousness of the theft.
Even a butcher couldn't dismember a bull this quickly!
