Murong Chuan thought Su Wanruo was easy to coax, but in fact, both of them had their own thoughts.

Murong Chuan was also planning that after the old lady died, he would not let Su Wanruo live.

Su Wanruo is always a threat as long as she is alive.

"Cousin, can you stay with me tonight? I'm really scared."

"Woo woo, cousin..."

Su Wanruo grabbed Murong Chuan's sleeve tightly, making him unable to move.

Murong Chuan also wanted to go into the old lady's room to take a look.

Now that he was being restrained by Su Wanruo, he could do nothing.

Murong Chuan felt that his patience was almost running out and he almost lost his temper with Su Wanruo.

But he took a deep breath and held it in.

Under Su Wanruo's entanglement, Murong Chuan agreed.

He thought, since the old lady's yard was there, nothing would be missing.

Besides, the officers didn’t find anything, maybe the old lady didn’t leave anything important in the yard.

……

The maidservants around Su Wanruo heard these words secretly and hurried to report to Jiang Zhinian.

Jiang Zhinian's expression changed when he heard the news, "You guys help keep an eye on him. Once Murong Chuan leaves Wanxiangyuan, let someone know."

This would also make it convenient for her to move around at night.

Jiang Zhinian took out a piece of paper, drew something quickly, and handed it to Lian Qiao.

"Take this thing and go to the blacksmith shop we often go to. Ask Master Liu to make this key for you."

The key Jiang Zhinian gave is the key to opening the mechanism box.

The letters in there are very important things.

She guessed that the old lady had received the letter and would definitely not be willing to destroy it.

After explaining everything, she immediately left the house and prepared to go to the manor.

But after leaving the Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Zhinian heard people in the streets and alleys talking about the Marquis' Mansion.

"We don't know what happened in the Yongping Marquis' Mansion. The old lady of the mansion was arrested by the police."

"Did the Marquis' Mansion commit a crime that caused them to be arrested like this?"

"It's possible, but why was it that only the old lady was arrested, and the Marquis was fine?"

"I heard that it was the Marquis who reported the old lady. For the sake of the Marquis's mansion, she killed her own relatives for the sake of justice!"

"My Lord is truly upright and just."

"What a righteous man, but in fact he is so cold-blooded and ruthless that he can even harm his own mother."

"That's understandable. He's doing this for the entire Marquisate. He can't let the reputation of the entire Marquisate be affected."

"Poor Lord Yongping."

"Yes, we have to do this. If the old marquis had been close to the regent at that time, someone would have sacrificed his relatives for the sake of justice, and perhaps the Yongping Marquisate would not have fallen into such a state."

"Murong Chuan did a good job this time. He was trying to protect so many people in the Marquis' Mansion. Otherwise, everyone would have died."

"Yes, I heard that this time it's very serious because the old lady invited a wizard from southern Xinjiang."

"Wizard, doesn't that involve the art of witchcraft? That's a grave crime that will lead to the extermination of the entire family."

"I heard that because Murong Chuan sacrificed his own family for the greater good and reported it in advance, the Marquis' Mansion is fine. The only ones in trouble are the old lady and the witch doctor."

"Now, the officials suspect that the wizard is in collusion with someone, so martial law is now in place inside and outside the city to arrest these people. If you report it and it is meritorious, the court will reward you. The reward is more than 100 taels of silver..."

"Oh my god, there are more than a hundred taels of silver."

For ordinary people, one hundred taels of silver is a very high sum of money.

When everyone heard that it was more than a hundred taels of silver, they all perked up.

If you think anyone is suspicious, report it immediately.

Jiang Zhinian's expression changed slightly when he heard these words on the streets.

"Daniu, let's not go to the manor, let's go to Imperial Physician Miao's house first!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

Jiang Zhinian originally planned to go to the manor at night to mobilize the secret guards to transport all the things in the secret room to the valley.

But it was obvious that there was martial law inside and outside the city, and they were investigating suspicious persons, so she couldn't do anything at this time.

But Jiang Zhinian doesn't have much time left.

It was impossible for her to stay in the mansion for a long time.

Her plan was to leave the Marquis' Mansion in the next few days.

So those things were shipped out of the Marquis' Mansion early at this time.

She could only go to the prince.

Moreover, if things from the previous dynasty were discovered for no reason, it would easily cause unnecessary trouble.

So it is best to pass the test in front of the prince.

Or if those things are useful to the Crown Prince, they can be given to His Royal Highness.

She was reborn to repay his kindness.

As the carriage drove along the street, Jiang Zhinian could sense that the city was under martial law.

The art of witchcraft was an extremely important matter to the imperial court and the court attached great importance to it.

Anyone who gets involved in this will be dead.

Back then in the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, it was Shi who cast a curse on my grandmother.

Grandma was still worried that if this matter was exposed, not only would it not kill Shi, but it would kill the entire Jiang family.

That would easily lead to a situation where the consequences would be dire, so the matter was handled privately by the Jiang family.

But the more Jiang Zhinian thought about it, the more he felt that things were not simple.

I always feel like there is a net that has ensnared many people.

Just as the carriage turned a street, Jiang Zhinian suddenly felt an unusual breath.

It was as if someone was watching the carriage.

Sure enough, after a while, the horses seemed to be frightened and started galloping forward.

The carriage was completely out of control, and this street was not a main street, so not many people noticed it.

Zheng Daniu's face changed, "Madam!"

"It's okay, don't worry about it!"

Jiang Zhinian wanted to see who this scene would bring out.

Sure enough, after a while, a figure fell from the high teahouse.

He quickly came to the out-of-control horse and slapped it to death with one palm.

He was even ready to reach out to save Jiang Zhinian.

But at that moment, Jiang Zhinian saw the Fourth Prince through the car curtain.

A cold murderous intent flashed across Jiang Zhinian's eyes.

She must not have anything to do with the Fourth Prince.

Is this person trying to win her over after seeing what happened in the Marquis' Mansion?

Or will a heroic act of saving the beauty make her fall in love with him forever?

But even though the horse fell down and the carriage tilted to one side, Jiang Zhinian got out of the carriage safely.

As if she couldn't see the Fourth Prince, she looked at Zheng Daniu and said, "Daniu, let's go!"

The Fourth Prince couldn't maintain the concerned smile on his face when he saw Jiang Zhinian's reaction.

"Wait...wait a minute!"

Jiang Zhinian had a cold expression, and when he turned around, he looked at the Fourth Prince as if he were a stranger.

According to common sense, she should have no impression of the Fourth Prince.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

Jiang Zhinian had a cold expression, as if he was keeping people at a distance.

The fourth prince showed a warm and gentle smile, "My lady, the horse suddenly lost control just now, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine, and I'm not a girl anymore, I'm already a lady."

The implication is that this way of picking up girls is useless.

The fourth prince did not feel embarrassed, and still smiled gently and said, "I just had to move Madam's horse. It was my mistake, and I should compensate for it."

"Would it be possible for you to give Madam a horse as compensation?"

"Don't worry, it won't be worse than this horse."
