Prince Duan had lost all face, and even if there was more commotion in Prince Duan's mansion, it wouldn't cause any waves.

The old concubine, who was Prince Duan's biological mother, collapsed on the bed in anger.

As for Princess Duan, she has been in a state of panic ever since Prince Duan disappeared and a fire broke out in the manor house.

In fact, everyone had their own guesses, because four of the guards in black had not returned.

The rest of the remaining black guards were all confused and had no idea what was going on.

Zhang Hexuan had never been out of contact so suddenly before, so there was only one possibility, that was something really happened to him!!

After being falsely accused by the Marquis of Nanping, Princess Duan was unable to produce any strong evidence in response and could only swallow this loss in humiliation.

Moreover, Princess Duan seemed to be defeated in an instant. She cried all day in her mansion, unable to recover, and instantly aged several years.

After Prince Yan reported the matter to the young emperor, he personally announced to the world that Prince Duan had passed away.

However, because Prince Duan was a prince of the royal family after all, and their royal family could not afford to lose face, they completely concealed the truth that "Prince Duan abducted a concubine of a marquis in the court, brought her to Zhuangzi for fun, but accidentally got fired and lost her life."

Although the whole capital was now spreading the news like crazy, the royal family was accustomed to playing deaf and dumb and still announced to the world that Prince Duan had gone to Zhuangzi to recuperate due to a sudden illness.

However, his illness was so severe that once it was discovered, it was already in a terminal state and no medicine could cure it, so he died.

Moreover, because the disease came so strangely and was highly contagious, in order to prevent the disease from spreading outside, the village was set on fire, and all the infected people were burned to death.

The King of Yan issued an order that in order to prevent the disease from spreading further, except for the house owned by the King of Duan, all the people in the manor would be executed!

For a moment, the whole court was shocked, and almost all ministers who still had a conscience stood up to oppose it.

But the Prince of Yan is now the regent, controlling all power in the court. Even the young emperor cannot change this decision, let alone the other ministers in the court?

In order to cover up the ugly cause of Prince Duan’s death, the royal family fabricated an even bigger lie!

He even had to use an entire village, with nearly a thousand common people, to attend the funeral of Prince Duan!

Jiang Wancheng did not expect this result.

Who in the capital doesn't know that Prince Duan died because of a woman?

Although everyone knew that it was the Marquis of Nanping who suffered injustice, who in the entire Shangjing City dared to say anything more?

The Prince of Yan killed all the people in Prince Duan’s manor, this is a deterrent!

Therefore, even Meng Xingzhi could only disappear silently and never mention it again.

The imperial power is supreme, and the death penalty is also a grace from heaven.

In this world, no one cares about the lives of these ants. Even the other nobles and imperial authorities in the capital gradually became convinced that the Prince Duan’s farm was really infected with some kind of epidemic.

The royal family has always been swift and resolute in its silencing of people, the imperial power is brutal, and they use blood as a warning.

If one person talks, he will be killed.

If a thousand people talk, they will kill a thousand people.

Prince Duan's funeral was hastily and sloppily conducted.

The funeral was held quietly.

Although Prince Duan's mansion was open, almost no one came to pay their respects.

The house is popular when alive, but the guests are cold after death.

Although Zhang Hexuan had children during his lifetime, he only had one legitimate son, two illegitimate sons, and three illegitimate daughters.

For a royal clan, this is really a mockery of its population.

Moreover, these children are still young and have not grown up yet, so naturally they can't accomplish anything.

After Prince Duan was buried, although the young emperor immediately conferred the title of Crown Prince on Prince Duan's legitimate son, this honor had already completely left the struggle for imperial power with the death of Prince Duan...

In just two or three years, the children and women of the family will be completely forgotten among the powerful nobles in the capital...

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

As winter falls, the spring scenery of Xiangshan Temple once again becomes a popular destination for people from Beijing to go for an outing and enjoy the scenery.

Wen Chaoyan also planned to go to Xiangshan Temple three days later to arrange a reunion scene.

At that time, Jiang Wancheng would be able to appear openly in any place she wanted to go in Shangjing again.

Jiang Wancheng suddenly remembered that the old abbot of Xiangshan Temple also died in the Pearl murder case. Why is there suddenly no news about him now?

She asked about Wen Chaoyan.

In February, he went out again. He was away for nearly twenty days and said nothing when he came back, but Jiang Wancheng knew that he was still handling the pearl case.

"Is there no conclusion to this case yet?"

Wen Chaoyan said, "It has been a long time ago. But, Cheng'er, I can't tell you yet."

Jiang Wancheng nodded when he heard this and didn't ask any more questions.

Wen Chaoyan's eyes flickered, and after hesitating for a moment, he said to her, "When I can, I will definitely tell you."

Jiang Wancheng didn't really want to know, but he was a little worried about him.

During the first month of the year, Wen Chaoyan somehow formed an alliance with Meng Xingzhi.

If the two of them had not exchanged some unknown conditions behind the scenes and reached an agreement, Meng Xingzhi would not have sold out favors to others, destroyed his own reputation and fabricated the stigma of a concubine being abducted.

However, the death of Prince Duan was eventually covered up.

So, it was the couple who owed Meng Xingzhi a favor.

It is already April now. Although Jiang Wancheng has been locked up at home for nearly four months, he does not seem to be very restless.

Perhaps she had already tempered her character in her previous life, so as time went by, she became more and more able to adapt to various environments, and now she has become much more mature.

Yajie'er and Zhibao also followed Jiang Wancheng to look at the account book.

The two of them read and wrote, and made great progress under Jiang Wancheng's more attentive guidance every day.

Even Mr. Liao, after looking at Zhibao's handwriting and the articles he memorized, praised the female teacher Jiang Wancheng for her good teaching.

At the beginning of the first month of the lunar year, Tingfeng became pregnant.

Because the fetus is unstable, Fuxue is now temporarily the housekeeper.

As for Jiang Wancheng's courtyard, Yihua and Qianzhu were reassigned, along with a few maids who had been trained in the Jiang family to help take care of the affairs of Cangcui Courtyard.

Hua'er and Yang Hu's marriage was also scheduled for June.

Hua'er is still the head maid in Yajie'er and Zhibao's courtyard. Now she also brings a few maids with her, and keeps Yajie'er's courtyard in order.

Good news came one after another. In early March, Lin Xueyan also brought good news.

Gu Tingzhou happily hosted a grand banquet for his guests.

Because it was inconvenient for Jiang Wancheng to go to their house, the couple actually went to the Wen Mansion in person, carrying large and small bags of various gifts to thank Jiang Wancheng for his great kindness.

No wonder they are so excited.

The couple had been married for nearly ten years, but had never had any children. Now that they finally have their own child, they are not crazy with joy, but have become calm and composed.

So, if Jiang Wancheng has no merit and is not their benefactor, who else in this world is he?
