The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

Jiang Mansion.

Hundreds of guards, martial artists and servants from Prince Jing's Mansion, led by the chief steward Luan Xi, arrived at the gate of Jiang's Mansion in a heroic and high-spirited manner, but were stopped by the guards of Jiang's Mansion in distinctive armor with sharp blades hanging from their waists!

Li Zhi said with a serious expression: "On the orders of Mr. Jiang, only ten people can go in at a time, and the rest have to wait outside!"

When everyone heard this, they began to discuss: "How can that be possible? If the princess is finally found, who will get the credit?"

"That's right! Jiang's mansion is so big, if we let ten people in, how long will it take to search it?"

"If I had known this would happen, I would have not come here. It's not our turn to search anyway..."

Luan Xi hurried to Prince Jing's sedan chair and bowed, "Prince, the guards of the Jiang residence said that only ten people can enter at a time!"

"What? How long will it take to find it?"

Prince Jing frowned and shouted, "Go call that guard over here, I'll talk to him!"

"Yes!"

Luan Xi nodded and agreed, then turned back to the door and said to Li Zhi, "Guard Li, our prince wants to see you!"

Li Zhi said in a stern tone: "Please ask Steward Luan to tell the prince that we dare not disobey Mr. Jiang's order!"

Luan Xi hit a snag, so he had no choice but to turn back to the sedan chair and repeat Li Zhi's words: "They said they dare not disobey Mr. Jiang's orders..."

Prince Jing had no choice but to wave his hands impatiently and said, "Okay, okay! Then let my ten personal guards go in!"

Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Prince Jing walked towards the door with his butler and ten personal followers, but was stopped by the guards again, saying, "You are not allowed to bring weapons in!"

Prince Jing was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Don't go too far!"

Li Zhi stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, there are only women in the mansion. If we go in with weapons to search, it will easily scare them, so please bear with me!"

Prince Jing had no choice but to order his followers behind him, "Then take off all your swords!"

With a series of "clattering" sounds, all ten swords were removed. Li Zhi then stretched out his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please!"

Prince Jing snorted and led his men in with a swagger. As he walked, he thought indignantly: If Ying'er had married here and become a young lady, I could have enjoyed the pavilions, towers, and exotic flowers and plants in this mansion, but now I have come here to search for Ying'er's whereabouts... Alas!

Li Zhi said, "Where do you want to start your search, Your Majesty?"

Prince Jing glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Let's start the search from the most remote place! I don't think you would hide Ying'er in the upper room!" Then he led his men to the southwest corner of the garden...

In the study, Jiang Yaonian was drinking tea. Qian Yi hurried in from outside and whispered, "Sir, the prince went in the direction of 'Jielu'. Could he have received some news?"

Jiang Yaonian stood up immediately upon hearing this and ordered, "Help me over!"

Jingying was locked up in Jielu, it seemed someone had leaked the news!

As expected, when Li Zhi wanted to lead everyone to search from Tongxue Courtyard, Prince Jing waved his hand and said, "No need! Let's start from the innermost part!"

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, but then he regained his normal expression and said, "It's just a row of small houses inside, and we can search them all quickly. Tongxueyuan is quite large, so why not start from there..."

Prince Jing said proudly: "No, Jiang Yaonian would not lock Ying'er up in such a nice courtyard! If he wants to force her to reveal the whereabouts of Madam Jiang, he will definitely lock her up in a gloomy and terrifying place, so that she can tell the truth!"

Then I heard Jiang Yaonian's voice coming from not far away: "When did the prince know me so well?"

Everyone bowed and said, "Mr. Jiang!"

Jiang Yaonian came over and told Li Zhi, "Since the prince insists on searching from the inside, let's search from the inside first!"

Li Zhi looked at Jiang Yaonian hesitantly, and finally said calmly: "Yes!"

Then he said, "Please follow me, Your Majesty!"

Prince Jing glanced at Jiang Yaonian with a smug look, snorted, and led his men inside...

Jiang Yaonian's eyebrows moved, and a barely perceptible cold smile appeared on his face...

Everyone soon arrived at the secret room where Jingying was imprisoned, and Prince Jing said triumphantly, "Open the door!"

The guard at the door looked at Jiang Yaonian, and Prince Jing asked sideways, "Why, you don't dare to open it?"

Jiang Yaonian said calmly: "Since the prince must see it, then open it!"

The guard had no choice but to open the door.

Prince Jing walked in quickly and saw a woman with disheveled hair and tattered clothes lying on the wooden couch. He couldn't help but shout, "Jingying!" Then he rushed over, hugged the woman and cried, "My poor Ying'er... How did you become like this!"

He glared at Jiang Yaonian fiercely and said, "You tortured Jingying into this state. If you refuse to marry her, I will never let you go!"

Jiang Yaonian frowned and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down! I will never marry Jingying. If you have any objections, just go and tell His Majesty!"

Prince Jing stood up while holding Jingying in his arms, and said angrily, "Don't worry, I will definitely tell my brother! Hand over Lianjun now, and I will take my people away immediately!"

Jiang Yaonian sighed and said, "I haven't seen Madam Du. Please look for her somewhere else, Your Majesty... Also, take a closer look. Is the person you are holding Jingying?"

"What?" Prince Jing couldn't help but get furious when he first heard him deny having seen Du Lianjun. Just as he was about to lose his temper, he heard him remind him to check if the person he was holding was Jingying. He hurriedly pushed aside the hair on the woman's face to take a look. But the result was that he was stunned immediately!

The woman in front of me definitely cannot be Jingying!

Even their hair colors are different. Jingying has shiny black hair, but the woman in front of him has yellowish hair, single eyelids, and thick lips. She is completely different from the elegant and refined Jingying!

Because of his preconceived impression and the dim light in the secret room, Prince Jing did not even look at the woman's face carefully, and directly identified her as Jingying. He was dumbfounded and immediately put the woman down, asking fiercely: "Who are you! Why are you here? Where is my Ying'er?"

Jiang Yaonian said in a cold voice: "She is the traitor who tipped you off! She is also a maid in my house, her name is Qin'er."

Prince Jing quickly denied, "Yao Nian, don't make wild guesses! No one tipped off this prince!"

Jiang Yaonian said indifferently, "Really? Then why did the prince go straight to Jielu when he entered the palace?"

Prince Jing was stunned for a moment, and said stubbornly: "That's because this place is remote and it's the easiest place to hide people! That's why I brought people here to search!"
