"Please make way, thank you." Because everyone was pushing forward, Jiang Nan finally squeezed in with great effort.

But this was just the beginning. Most of the people in the crowd were men, so Jiang Nan could only squeeze in when he saw an opening. It was impossible for him to force his way in.

Jiang Nan was trying hard to get in when suddenly someone pulled her into someone's arms, held her tightly, and took her towards the notice board in front.

Jiang Nan looked up and saw Gu Yanzhou's cold profile. Seeing that it was him, Jiang Nan silently loosened his clenched fists.

With Gu Yanzhou's help, Jiang Nan easily reached the notice.

It read: "Xu Yajun, the wife of the Marquis of Pingyang, attempted to murder the former mistress and even poisoned her own mother-in-law, with Xu Cong as her accomplice. The two of them were vicious and their actions were terrible. Finally, the Dali Temple tried the case and sentenced them to parade through the streets for three days. After three days, they were sentenced to death to serve as a warning to others."

As Jiang Nan guessed, the verdict on the two Xu family members came down.

Jiang Nan couldn't help but look at Gu Yanzhou beside him, only to see that he had a calm expression without any emotion on his face.

Gu Yanzhou's mother was finally vindicated.

"Let's go!" Jiang Nan approached Gu Yanzhou and spoke.

"Yeah," Gu Yanzhou responded lightly, but his voice was drowned out by the noise of everyone's discussion.

Jiang Nan squeezed out of the crowd and looked at Gu Yanzhou and asked, "Are you going back home?"

"I have something else to do. I'll be back in the evening."

Gu Yanzhou replied.

"The truth about my aunt's death has finally been revealed. I heard from my grandmother that you moved my aunt out of the Gu family's ancestral tomb. When you have time, take me to pay my respects and tell her about this."

Jiang Nan looked at Gu Yanzhou and spoke, always feeling that Gu Yanzhou was a little too calm.

"Okay, how did you get here? Go home. I'll take you back."

Gu Yanzhou asked.

"No need, I'll go back to Xuan and ask the carriage in the mansion to take me back."

Jiang Nan pointed to the carriage not far away.

"Okay, it won't be long before people leave here, so ask the driver to take you back by a detour."

As he spoke, Gu Yanzhou sent Jiang Nan to the carriage.

Jiang Nan stood there and watched Gu Yanzhou leave. He always felt that something was wrong with Gu Yanzhou.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month in the seventh year of Anding, Jiang Bei officially became a student of Yuelu Academy.

On the 21st day of the first lunar month in the seventh year of Anding, Xu and Xu Cong were executed in the largest execution ground in Shangjing.

On the 25th day of the first lunar month in the seventh year of Anding, urgent news came from the border that the father and son of Pingyang Marquis were attacked in the north and their lives and deaths were unknown.

For a while, everyone in Shangjing City was in danger. If the situation continued like this, it was only a matter of time before Tianqi Kingdom invaded Shangjing City.

Jiang Nan hadn't seen Gu Yanzhou for several days.

That day, Manager Li suddenly came to the house to look for Jiang Nan.

"Miss Jiang, I have found a few jewelry suppliers here. Do you want to meet them?"

Butler Li looked at Jiang Nan and spoke. After all, women have to avoid suspicion when they go out to do business, but the general had specifically instructed that there is no need to use these rules to restrict Miss Jiang, and let her decide everything herself.

"Please make an appointment and I'll go and meet him. Since you're going for the high-end route, the quality of the jewelry still needs to be guaranteed." Jiang Nan couldn't rely on Manager Li for everything, so he also wanted to give himself some training.

"Okay, I have already negotiated with several suppliers, including some of our shop's suppliers and a new supplier I've been talking to recently. If you have time the day after tomorrow, please come to Wangyue Tower at 9:00 am."

Manager Li has always been thorough in his work. He has already made an appointment with someone. If Jiang Nan doesn't go, he will go to the appointment himself. The date is set for the day after tomorrow. If Jiang Nan goes, he will also give Jiang Nan time to prepare.

"Okay, I'll be there on time the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Nan agreed.

These days Jiang Nan has been studying honeycomb coal and stoves. Firewood is too troublesome, but he has encountered some problems.

"Is Sister Jiang here?" Ning Yurou's voice suddenly came from the yard.

Jiang Nan put down the brush in his hand, stood up and went out to greet him.

Sister Ning came over at this time, maybe the person who spread the rumors has been found.

Jiang Nan was delighted.

"Sister Ning, please come in and sit down," Jiang Nan led her into the house.

"Sister Ning, come here. Could it be that the person who spread the message has been found?" Jiang Nan asked the question in his mind.

"Yes, it's Tang Wanning," Ning Yurou said this with a little anger on her face.

"It turned out to be her."

This answer surprised Jiang Nan a little.

"That's her. She's the maid of Lin Li'er, the daughter of the Minister of War. I saw her when I bought milk tea for Lin Li'er in the restaurant that day. Lin Li'er always likes to follow Tang Wanning. After getting this news, she told Tang Wanning. Tang Wanning has been at odds with me since she was a child, so she asked someone to spread this news on purpose."

Ning Yurou told Jiang Nan the whole story.

"To do something like this that destroys someone's innocence is no different from killing them directly. Even if she is a princess, this matter cannot be let go like this."

Jiang Nan was also very angry for Ning Yurou.

A woman's reputation is so important in this era.

"She is a princess, so the Duke Dingguo Mansion naturally cannot do anything to her. My father is going to report this matter to His Majesty, asking His Majesty to make a decision and clear my name. This matter will definitely not be let go like this."

Ning Yurou smiled as she said this.

"That's how it should be. We can't just suffer this in vain. We have to tell Han Yue the news so that she won't still feel guilty."

"No need. This is what they found out through the Longmen Escort Agency's network. I told my father at the time, but his men only found clues. It was only with this information that they found the evidence. The Longmen Escort Agency's information network is really amazing."

"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Do you have anything to do the day after tomorrow? The weather is getting warmer now. My family has a farm in the south of the city. Let's go there and play! Ask Yueyue to come along."

Ning Yurou suggested to Jiang Nan.

This was also the purpose of her trip. She was really bored staying at home these days.

"I have an appointment to discuss something the day after tomorrow. How about we do it another day?" Jiang Nan looked at Ning Yurou and said. It was really a bad coincidence.

"I'm almost bored at home. Yueyue and I will meet up first. I'll pick you up after you finish talking about things."

Ning Yurou spoke nonchalantly, not giving Jiang Nan any chance to refuse.

"Okay, you guys go to Wangyue Tower to pick me up then." Jiang Nan agreed upon seeing this.

After notifying Jiang Nan, Ning Yurou went to Longmen Escort Agency to inform Han Yue, and also took the opportunity to get some fresh air.

After seeing Ning Yurou off, Jiang Nan continued drawing, intending to bring the blueprint to Manager Li the day after tomorrow so that it could be put into use as soon as possible.

Jiang Nan had only seen the production process through short videos before, so he could only rely on his memory to write down the steps and improve them later if they didn't work.

Jiang Nan stayed indoors for two days in a row and finally finished preparing the drawings and production methods the day before the appointment.

The next day, Jiang Nan went to Wangyue Tower on time and went to the agreed box.

Arriving at the door of the private room, Jiang Nan knocked twice and soon Manager Li came to open the door.

"Miss Jiang." Butler Li greeted Jiang Nan.

"Everyone, this is our boss Jiang Nan." Manager Li began to introduce Jiang Nan's identity to everyone.

There were already three people sitting at the table, one of whom had his back to Jiang Nan. He turned around and looked over here after hearing Manager Li's introduction.

Jiang Nan narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the man's face clearly. The man had a handsome face and a signature teardrop mole at the corner of his eye. It was exactly Sun Zhiyuan in Ning Yurou's painting.
