"Shao Han, we must stop them immediately!" Du Yunsheng said in a low and hurried voice.

Jiang Shaohan nodded, and the two approached the secret room silently. At the critical moment, Jiang Shaohan stepped forward and subdued Butler Li and Mr. Song. Seeing this, the two knelt down and begged for mercy.

"We were wrong, please forgive us!" Butler Li and Mr. Song cried.

"Do you realize your sins?" Jiang Shaohan's eyes were sharp.

"We know. We know we were wrong!" Butler Li and Mr. Song kowtowed repeatedly.

"Do you know you're wrong?" Jiang Shaohan's voice was cold and dignified, with a hint of unquestionable majesty. "But your mistake was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a long-planned one. You took advantage of the trust in the mansion and planned step by step, trying to make us lose our composure. How vicious!"

Du Yunsheng stood aside, her eyes sharp, she looked at Li Guanjia and Mr. Song who were kneeling and begging for mercy, her heart filled with anger. She knew that if they hadn't discovered it in time today, the crisis in the mansion would have been even more serious.

"General, Crown Princess, we...we are also thinking about the future of the mansion." Mr. Song's voice was full of pleading, "The General's Mansion has always been strong. If someone hadn't interfered, how could it have ended up like this?"

Jiang Shaohan sneered, his eyes were like torches: "For the future of the mansion? Have you ever thought about how much harm your actions will cause to the people in the mansion?"

Butler Li and Mr. Song looked at each other. They knew that no matter how they explained, it would be difficult to wash away their sins. Although their plan was clever, it was eventually discovered.

"Shao Han, what should we do?" Du Yunsheng asked, her eyes full of determination.

Jiang Shaohan pondered for a moment, then said: "First, we need to stabilize the situation in the mansion to prevent similar incidents from happening again. Secondly, we need to thoroughly investigate this matter and find out who else in the mansion is involved in this conspiracy. Finally, as for Steward Li and Mr. Song, although they are guilty, they are also people in the mansion after all, and we need a fair treatment."

Du Yunsheng nodded in agreement. She knew that Jiang Shaohan was right. They couldn't lose their composure because of a momentary anger. Only by handling the situation calmly could they ensure the stability of the mansion.

Jiang Shaohan then began to take care of the affairs of the mansion. He first arranged for someone to replace the positions of Li Guanjia and Mr. Song to ensure that the finances and security of the mansion were not threatened. Then, he began a secret investigation to try to find other people in the mansion who might be involved in the conspiracy.

In this process, Du Yunsheng was not far behind. She used her intelligence to find clues from the daily trivialities in the mansion. One day, when she was checking the account book in the mansion, she found some abnormal expenditure records.

"Shao Han, look at this." Du Yunsheng pointed to an expenditure in the account book and said in a low voice.

Jiang Shaohan took the account book, checked it carefully, and soon found a clue: "This is... This is the cost of a horse in the mansion, how come it is here?"

"It seems that there are other people in the mansion who are involved in this conspiracy." Du Yunsheng analyzed, "They may be using this horse to conduct secret transactions, or they may have other uses."

Jiang Shaohan nodded, he understood that this horse might be the key clue they were looking for. So he ordered a strict investigation of the origin of the horse and the people related to it.

After some investigation, they finally found the person involved in the conspiracy - Lao Chen, the groom in the mansion. It turned out that Lao Chen lent the horse to Li in order to please Li, and Li used the horse to trade with people outside.

"Shao Han, we have caught Lao Chen and uncovered the truth of this conspiracy." Du Yunsheng said with relief.

Jiang Shaohan looked at her with admiration in his eyes: "Yun Sheng, you did a great job. Your intelligence and talent are a valuable asset to us."

With the arrest of Butler Li, Mr. Song and Lao Chen, the conspiracy was finally exposed. Jiang Shaohan and Du Yunsheng carried out a comprehensive reorganization of the affairs in the mansion and restored the normal order in the mansion.

Butler Li, Mr. Song and Old Chen also received the punishment they deserved. Butler Li was expelled from the mansion, while Mr. Song and Old Chen were demoted to menial jobs in the mansion and were not allowed to leave for life.

The sun shines through the window into the garden of the General Zhengxi Mansion. The green leaves sway in the breeze and the fragrance of flowers fills the air. Du Yunsheng stands in the pavilion of the garden, holding a delicate hairpin drawing in his hand, his brows full of anticipation.

"Yun Sheng, look at this hairpin. I customized it according to your usual preferences." Jiang Shaohan came out from the study with an exquisite box in his hand. In the box was the unfinished hairpin.

Du Yunsheng took the box, opened it, and was immediately dazzled. The main part of the hairpin was a jade hairpin, the jade was warm and smooth, and it was carved with exquisite lotus patterns. The end of the hairpin was a blooming golden flower, and a dazzling pearl was inlaid in the pistil, which looked particularly gorgeous.

"Shao Han, you really have good intentions." A touch of emotion flashed in Du Yunsheng's eyes. She gently stroked the hairpin and said softly, "This hairpin is like your deep affection for me. I accept it."

Jiang Shaohan was delighted to see Du Yunsheng like him so much. He walked to Du Yunsheng and gently held her hand. "Yunsheng, you are the pride of my life. I am willing to use all my strength to protect you."

Du Yunsheng looked up at Jiang Shaohan, his eyes full of dependence, "Shaohan, I believe you."

At this time, the maids in the mansion came over one after another, and seeing this, they were all secretly pleased for this beautiful and talented couple. Some of them were old servants of the prince's mansion, and some were new servants, but without exception, they all admired Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan very much.

"Princess Consort, Crown Prince, several distinguished guests have come to the mansion today. They said they want to attend the banquet tomorrow. You see..." A little maid ran over and reported in a low voice.

Jiang Shaohan pondered for a moment, "Pass the order down, keep everything simple for tomorrow's banquet to avoid wasting money and labor. Yun Sheng, what do you think?"

Du Yunsheng thought for a moment and said, "Since they are distinguished guests, we should naturally show our hospitality as hosts, but we should not be too extravagant, lest it be impolite."

Jiang Shaohan nodded in agreement and immediately gave the order.

On the eve of the banquet, Du Yunsheng was busy in the mansion. She personally selected the dishes for the banquet and discussed the process of the banquet with Jiang Shaohan. She knew that this banquet was of great significance to the General Zhengxi Mansion.

"Yun Sheng, you've worked hard today." Jiang Shaohan looked at Du Yunsheng's busy figure and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

Du Yunsheng turned around and smiled, "Shao Han, you are the one who works the hardest. You work day and night for the affairs of the mansion, how can I not help you share the burden?"

"You are always so considerate." Jiang Shaohan took Du Yunsheng into his arms and gently stroked her hair. "I am willing to give everything for you."

On the day of the banquet, the mansion was packed with guests. Du Yunsheng wore an elegant embroidered dress and a special hairpin, looking particularly dignified and beautiful. Jiang Shaohan, on the other hand, was dressed in military uniform, looking heroic and dashing.
