Qing Yu in the house stared out the window. There was only half a day left.

She vaguely felt pain in her abdomen. If she couldn't go back today, she would die.

But she didn't seem worried, and her eyes turned to the door, as if she had a premonition that the door would open in the next second.

As expected, the sound of the door being unlocked was heard from outside.

Jiang Zhuo and Jiang Mo walked in together.

She just looked up at them weakly and said nothing.

Jiang Zhuo was the first to ask, "Why do you stay in Huanxiang Pavilion?"

She replied to Jiang Zhuo in a soft voice, "Just to survive."

"Survival? Then why was you chosen as the oiran?" He didn't believe that becoming a popular figure was also for the sake of survival.

"I am a humble girl, but I have some abilities... and everyone likes me." As she felt increasingly ill, it became increasingly difficult for her to answer questions.

"Are you trying to say that you won it on your own merit?"

"Yes, didn't father come to see it?"

Now Jiang Zhuo can no longer deny that people's praise for her is not false.

"Do you know anyone in the palace?"

After thinking for a while, she gave the answer, "Maybe."

"possible?"

"I have met dozens of guests in Huanxiang Pavilion... and all of them are talented and virtuous. Some people like to hide their real names. As for whether there are any royal family members among them... I don't know, but maybe there are."

After being punished, she stopped beating around the bush and answered frankly.

Jiang Zhuo lowered his eyes and thought deeply, "All of you go down."

After hesitating, "Mo'er, you go down too."

Although Jiang Mo was somewhat reluctant, he still left obediently, "Yes, Dad."

Seeing everyone leave, Jiang Zhuo leaned down, changed his expression completely, and said in a friendly tone, "Qing Yu, it has always been my father who has made a mistake."

Qingyu raised her eyes and met his hypocritical face. She was not surprised. In Jiang Qingyu's memory, she had seen Jiang Zhuo like this before. That was the day when Jiang Zhuo seduced her into the carriage and was finally taken to the Xiao Mansion.

At that time, the naive Jiang Qingyu thought she was finally useful, that her father could finally look at her in the right eye, and that she would have hope.

I never thought it would be the road to hell.

Jiang Zhuo helped her to stand up slowly. "Qing Yu, didn't you always want to know the real murderer who killed your mother?"

She was stunned and opened her eyes wide. In her memory, her father watched the person die without helping. Even if he was not the real murderer, he would definitely not be able to escape the blame.

"The real murderer who killed my mother?" She envied Jiang Qingyu for being loved by his mother, so this was one of the reasons why she went to the Jiang Mansion.

Jiang Zhuo saw her desire to know the truth, "Well, Qingyu, as long as you listen to your father, I will tell you."

Jiang Zhuo looked a little regretful, "As a father, I admit that I was really powerless to stop your mother's death, but I was not the one who wanted her to die."

Every expression of his was so hypocritical that it made her sick, but she still played along, tightly grasping his sleeves and asking in a trembling voice.

"Really? Will Dad really tell me?"

"Of course Qingyu."

But she slowly let go after struggling, "Dad, what do you want me to do?"

"Don't worry, you will know when the time comes." Jiang Zhuo noticed her struggle and added, "I can guarantee that I will give you the respect you want in the Jiang Mansion and will never treat you unfairly."

"Okay, but I want to go back to Huanxiang Pavilion." She made this request deliberately, knowing that Jiang Zhuo was eager for her to return to Huanxiang Pavilion.

"What's wrong? Is our home not as good as Huanxiang Pavilion?" Jiang Zhuo asked deliberately.

"Imaginary Fragrance Pavilion raised me, so I naturally cannot be ungrateful, and Hua Niang will not force me to do anything I don't want to do."

Jiang Zhuo thought about it and agreed, "Okay, your father asked you to come back, you must come back, can you do it?"

"Okay, I'll go back today." She proposed again.

"Okay, come here, let the maid help the young lady bathe and change clothes." Jiang Zhuo shouted to the people outside.

The guard leaned forward to receive the order and quickly helped her out.

After the arrangements were made, Jiang Mo came running over angrily.

"Dad! Do you really want to send her back?" It took them a long time to bring her back.

"Yes, she is very useful now."

"only…"

Jiang Zhuo interrupted, "Don't worry about this. Don't bully her again."

Jiang Mo was slightly stunned, feeling unwilling, "But Dad..."

"Has Xiao Yanqing taken any action recently?" Jiang Zhuo did not intend to explain the matter in too much detail.

Jiang Mo sighed and responded, "Before, he seemed to be searching for Jiang Qingyu as well. Later our people were discovered, so... we didn't dare to get too close recently, and they didn't make any moves."

"The Xiaowang Mansion has the strongest manpower, no wonder. Go and place some people in Huanxiang Pavilion."

"Yes, Father. That is Jiang Qingyu."

"Father has his own plans."

Seeing this, Jiang Mo said no more, "Yes, Dad."

Jiang Mo returned to his mother's hall. He didn't understand why his father let Jiang Qingyu go. What use could a weak woman be?

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry?" The woman saw that he looked depressed.

"Mother, father actually wants to let Jiang Qingyu go and told me not to bully her in the future. Why?!" He was unwilling to accept this, and he didn't even want her to know what his father had said to her.

"Haha, Jiang Qingyu is very useful now." The woman smiled softly and sat down next to Jiang Mo.

"Why?" Jiang Mo was puzzled.

"Of course your father hopes that she can return to Huanxiang Pavilion. She can now come into contact with many dignitaries, and she can make them go around in circles with just a few words." Although the woman didn't understand what tricks Jiang Qingyu used, she understood women.

"Mother, what you mean is that father wants to use Jiang Qingyu to get information?"

"More than that, if she is really capable, she might be able to marry a royal noble. Of course, your father will let her be and control her."

"But, if we treat her like this, can she still devote herself to the Jiang family?" Jiang Mo didn't believe it.

"Of course not, unless your father has something she wants."

"What I want..." Jiang Mo suddenly realized.

"Just listen to your father's arrangements, pay attention to the mysteries, and learn more." The woman advised.

"Yes, mother. I understand." Jiang Mo nodded repeatedly. It turned out that his father wanted to control Jiang Qingyu.

……

After Qing Yu finished bathing despite the pain, Jiang Zhuo had someone send her back to Huanxiang Pavilion.

However, on the other side, Xiao Yanqing was anxiously waiting for news from Huanxiang Pavilion for the whole day.

"Your Highness, our people are already lying in ambush around the Jiang Mansion, ready to take action at any time." Qian Yun came to report.

"Okay." he responded.

He stood outside the house with a calm expression but uneasy, like an ant on hot pot, and the fire in his eyes seemed to be burning the last of his sanity.

He kept telling himself to wait a little longer and give her some more time.

But time passed bit by bit, and almost half an hour passed.

He looked at the setting sun and darkness fell.

He sighed deeply, "No more waiting, take action."

"It's Your Highness!"

But just as Qianyun was about to leave, the guards suddenly ran over in a hurry.

Instantly, his heart rose to his throat, "What happened?"

"Your Highness..." The soldier said quickly, panting, "Miss Qingwu has already... returned to Huanxiang Pavilion."

"That's great, Your Highness!" Qian Yun was delighted.

His heart finally settled down, and he murmured, "You succeeded, that's great... it's really great."

But the matter is not over yet. He calmed himself down and said, "Notify them to cancel the operation and let Wen Shu come back."

"Yes."

"Let's go to Huanxiang Pavilion."
