The dense mist blurred his eyes and brows, but could not conceal his pure and elegant temperament.

He sat there quietly, like an orchid, a jade tree, or apricot blossoms in the spring rain.

It also seems to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, like a fairy or a spirit.

The room seemed to be lit, illuminating the private room and shrouding him in a halo of light. His entire body looked like moonlight, becoming even more spotless.

I don't know if he felt something, but he slightly tilted his head and lowered it.

It was as if she was meeting his picturesque, gorgeous and beautiful phoenix eyes through the mist and rain.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that there seemed to be tiny streams of light flowing in those sparkling and moving phoenix eyes.

Like a clear pond reflecting the apricot blossoms and spring rain, it easily touches people's heartstrings.

At this moment, many memories rushed out of my mind.

Her eyes felt sore and painful, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

After they had walked the long street and could no longer see anyone, Jiang Zhinian withdrew his gaze and sat upright.

Lian Qiao was shocked when she saw Jiang Zhinian's expression, "Madam, you...why are you crying?"

Jiang Zhinian's hands trembled, and he was stunned. He reached out to touch his eyebrows and eyes, and he felt tears.

Her hands trembled slightly, "Did I...did I cry?"

She looked at her own tears, seemingly unable to believe it.

She thought that her tears had dried up in her last life.

She thought her heart was hard enough as stone and she wouldn't cry.

I didn't expect she would cry again.

After all, I still owe him.

The person who had just been sitting by the window in the private room was undoubtedly His Royal Highness Prince Ren De, Yan Jiyou.

I didn't expect to see him unexpectedly at this time.

"Nothing, maybe the wind blew a little and my eyes feel uncomfortable."

Jiang Zhinian calmed his mind and closed his eyes to rest.

In fact, my mind is full of things about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

She still remembered that in her previous life, Murong Yanran hated her and said something in front of her.

"You are such a jerk. You mistakenly thought that it was your father who saved you, so you came to the Marquis's Mansion and offered all your dowry. You should have left all that to me..."

She looked at Murong Yanran in disbelief, "What do you mean by misunderstood? What did you mean just now?"

"Don't you know yet? The person who really saved you was not your father, but the deposed prince."

"I heard that the former Crown Prince was extremely talented, a man of both civil and military talents, and the hope of the entire Yan State. However, because he tried to detoxify you, he himself was poisoned, his martial arts skills were completely wasted, and his body became weak and sickly..."

At that time, she only felt a sharp pain spreading from her heart to her limbs, and a mouthful of blood came out of her mouth.

Murong Yanran looked at her vomiting blood and laughed even more cruelly.

"As expected, this news will stimulate you."

"I heard that the deposed crown prince's poison has been acting up frequently and has already invaded his internal organs. He is about to die."

Later, when she was dying, she asked Murong Chuan, and Murong Chuan admitted it.

She knew best how much she hated herself and how much pain she felt in her heart at that time.

While my mind was full of these things, I soon arrived at Zhuangzi.

When we arrived at Zhuangzi, it was raining heavily.

As soon as they arrived at the manor, Zheng Zhuangtou came to report: "Madam, Li Fan and his men came early and are waiting for you in the mansion."

Jiang Zhinian was not surprised at all. If Sang Li was not dead, they might still want to struggle.

But Sang Li’s death should have made them completely panicked. If they wanted to survive, they could only gather enough money to come to her.

"Well, are there any differences between them?"

Zheng Zhuangtou said truthfully: "They asked several times whether Madam would come and when she would come."

After a pause, Zheng Zhuangtou added: "They looked very haggard."

Jiang Zhinian nodded, "Yes, I understand!"

Are you haggard?

I guess they were panicked and perhaps didn't dare to sleep.

Moreover, they had to return all the money they embezzled, which must have been very painful.

Jiang Zhinian first went to a special room in the mansion to rest. After resting, eating something and drinking some tea, he leisurely went to the main hall to meet those people.

Li Fan and his companions were so nervous and frightened that they could not sit still.

They felt like a knife was at their necks, and if they were not careful, they would die.

How can they not be nervous!

Especially after Sang Li's death, they were even afraid to sleep.

They had not expected the old lady to be so vicious. So, they had only one way to go, which was to hand over the embezzled money and ask the lady to spare their lives because they had worked hard for her in the past.

Yes, they used to be good stewards, but money can tempt people.

The old lady used coercion and inducement to make them join her.

The other reason is that they were greedy and took so much money.

"lady!"

"Meet Madam!"

The moment everyone saw Jiang Zhinian, their eyes lit up instantly, as if they saw hope for life.

Jiang Zhinian was too lazy to talk nonsense and asked directly: "Have you brought all the silver?"

"To answer Madam, I have brought them all here!"

"Yes, ma'am, one ounce of silver is not too much, we have brought it all with us."

"Bring them all here!"

Everyone responded, and no one dared to take advantage of Qiao anymore, let alone underestimate the lady in front of them.

This is a ruthless master.

Jiang Zhinian said, "Okay, since you've brought them all, bring them up and sort out the accounts."

Li Fan and several others took the lead and presented the boxes, which contained silver bills and money.

Lian Qiao was in charge of checking, and when he found no problems, he poured some tea.

Everyone looked at each other and didn't dare to drink.

Jiang Zhinian said: "This is the antidote. After drinking it, you will be fine."

Everyone drank the tea quickly.

"Thank you ma'am!"

"Thank you ma'am!"

Everyone couldn't wait to drink the tea and burst into tears of gratitude towards Jiang Zhinian.

At this moment, they all felt like they had survived a disaster.

They had been so panic-stricken that they couldn't sleep well these past few days, and they were even more terrified when they learned that Sangli had been beaten to death with sticks.

I felt relieved at this moment.

Jiang Zhinian said: "This matter is over, you all should withdraw!"

Jiang Zhinian naturally also had to take the indentures of these people to prevent them from causing trouble, but after this incident, she believed that they would not dare to do so.

……

A few days passed in a flash, and the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion and Lord Murong Chuan were both getting restless.

In the evening, the old lady and Murong Chuan were talking in the room, and both of them looked unhappy.

"It's been so many days since Jiang Zhinian returned to the Bo's Mansion, and she seems to not want to come back!"

Murong Chuan shook his head and said, "Not really, she should just be angry."

At this time, Murong Chuan still narcissistically believed that Jiang Zhinian had deep feelings for him and was just angry with him.

The old lady frowned as she looked at Murong Chuan.

She knew that Murong Chuan was somewhat stubborn and self-willed.

"What's with the rumors? We've been telling you to suppress them for so many days, but why are they getting more and more intense? Now people outside are making up stories to blame us."

"Obviously, they wanted to use rumors to ruin Jiang Zhinian's reputation, so that she couldn't hold her head up high, and they could contain her. Who would have thought that the rumors would turn out like this?"

The old lady was so angry that she almost bleed just thinking about how people outside would scold her for bullying her daughter-in-law and being disrespectful to her elders.
