Du Yunsheng looked at Zheng Zhuoling coldly, and said with a sneer on his face: "Mr. Zheng, why are you doing this? Do you think this can shake my loyalty to the prince?"

Zheng Zhuoling's face darkened, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, but he still tried to remain calm and said, "Du Yunsheng, don't you understand? The prince no longer trusts you. You are just a discarded child of his."

"Oh?" Du Yunsheng smiled contemptuously, his eyes full of sarcasm, "Then may I ask, Master Zheng, what qualifications do you have to judge me? What qualifications do you have to interfere in the affairs of our Prince Jing's Mansion?"

Zheng Zhuoling was angered by Du Yunsheng's words. He widened his eyes and said angrily, "Du Yunsheng, don't be so arrogant. I tell you, I have enough evidence to ruin your reputation. You'd better be sensible, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

A flash of surprise flashed across Du Yunsheng's face, but she quickly regained her composure. She sneered, "Zheng Zhuoling, do you think the evidence you have can threaten me? I tell you, I have already put life and death aside. If you really dare to do it, I will make you pay the price."

At this time, Princess Jing walked into the living room. She looked at Du Yunsheng and Zheng Zhuoling with a complicated look in her eyes. She coughed lightly to break the silence.

"Du Yunsheng, Zheng Zhuoling, what are you doing? Making such a fuss here, how can you be so disrespectful?" Princess Jing spoke in a serious tone with sharp eyes.

Du Yunsheng and Zheng Zhuoling immediately calmed down and saluted Princess Jing together.

"Princess, it's Zheng Zhuoling..." Du Yunsheng was about to explain but was interrupted by Princess Jing.

"Okay, I got it. Du Yunsheng, please leave first. I have something to say to Zheng Zhuoling alone." Princess Jing signaled Du Yunsheng to leave. Du Yunsheng had no choice but to lower his head and leave the living room.

Only Princess Jing and Zheng Zhuoling were left in the living room. Princess Jing stared at Zheng Zhuoling sharply and said in a cold tone: "Zheng Zhuoling, why did you do this?"

Zheng Zhuoling's heart tightened. He didn't expect that Princess Jing would know his plan. He tried to remain calm and said, "Princess, I just want to serve the prince. I have no other intentions."

Princess Jing sneered: "Zheng Zhuoling, do you think your actions can escape my eyes? I tell you, your every move is under my surveillance. If you really dare to attack Du Yunsheng, I will make you wish you were dead."

Zheng Zhuoling was shocked. He didn't expect Princess Jing to be so powerful. He quickly bowed his head and apologized sincerely: "Princess, I was wrong. I was just impulsive and did such a thing. Please forgive me."

Princess Jing looked at Zheng Zhuoling with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. She sighed, "Zheng Zhuoling, you are a smart person, why do you want to fall into such a quagmire? If you really want to serve the prince, you should do it uprightly instead of doing tricks behind his back."

Zheng Zhuoling lowered his head in shame. He understood that what Princess Jing said was right. The resentment he had towards Du Yunsheng gradually dissipated, and was replaced by admiration for Princess Jing.

"Princess, I understand. I will withdraw my accusations against Du Yunsheng and return to serving the prince." Zheng Zhuoling said in a firm tone, his eyes full of determination.

Princess Jing nodded, with a satisfied smile on her face: "Okay, in that case, I will not pursue your fault anymore. But you must remember to be cautious in the future and never make the same mistake again."

Zheng Zhuoling looked at Princess Jing with gratitude. He knew that he was very lucky to be able to regain her trust.

Du Yunsheng gently put down the book in her hand, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. She looked out the window, the autumn sun sprinkled in the courtyard of Jiang's house, and the golden fallen leaves danced in the breeze.

Her husband Jiang Shaohan was rushing back.

Just as Du Yunsheng was about to leave the window, there was a commotion outside the mansion. She frowned slightly and walked towards the door. The old servant of the gatehouse ran in hurriedly, with an unconcealable joy on his face: "Madam, the master is back!"

Du Yunsheng was shocked, but his face remained calm. He just nodded slightly: "Got it, let him in."

After a while, Jiang Shaohan appeared in front of Du Yunsheng. He was wearing a green robe, with a tired look on his face, but his eyes were shining with joy. He looked at Du Yunsheng and smiled and said, "I'm back."

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly, looked Jiang Shaohan up and down, and said, "You've worked hard, come in and have a rest."

Jiang Shaohan followed Du Yunsheng into the house and sat down on the mahogany chair. He picked up the teacup on the table, blew it gently, and then handed it to Du Yunsheng. Du Yunsheng took it and whispered, "What are you doing here this time?"

Jiang Shaohan's eyes flashed with complexity. He put down the teacup and said, "I came back this time because I encountered some things outside that I need to deal with. Besides, I haven't been back for some time, and I want to see you."

Du Yunsheng smiled gently and said, "You are good at talking. I feel relieved then."

The two were silent for a while, and Du Yunsheng suddenly asked: "Did you encounter anything interesting outside?"

Jiang Shaohan smiled slightly and said, "There are some interesting things, but the most unforgettable one for me is the chance encounter in Jiangnan."

Du Yunsheng's eyes flashed with curiosity: "Oh? What is it that makes you so unforgettable?"

Jiang Shaohan then told Du Yunsheng about the strange people and things he had encountered in Jiangnan. He told the story vividly, and Du Yunsheng listened with great interest. At this moment, the old servant of the gatehouse ran in again, holding a letter in his hand: "Master, this is a letter from Jiangnan."

Jiang Shaohan took the letter, opened it, and his face suddenly became serious. Du Yunsheng saw this and couldn't help but get nervous: "What's wrong? What's in the letter?"

Jiang Shaohan handed the letter to Du Yunsheng and said, "This is a letter from an old friend. He told me that something happened in Jiangnan that might be related to us."

Du Yunsheng read the contents of the letter carefully, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes: "It seems that we have to go to Jiangnan."

Jiang Shaohan nodded: "Yes, this matter is of great importance, we must leave as soon as possible."

The two discussed and decided to set off for Jiangnan the next day. That night, the Jiang family was busy preparing for the two masters' trip.

……

The next morning, Jiang Shaohan and Du Yunsheng said goodbye to their families and set off on the journey to Jiangnan. Along the way, the two were both worried, but they kept silent.

Arriving in Jiangnan, the two found the old friend according to the address in the letter. When the old friend saw them, he smiled with relief: "You are finally here."

Jiang Shaohan and Du Yunsheng hurriedly asked about what happened. It turned out that the old friend met a woman named Lin Shiyin in Jiangnan. She was an old acquaintance of Jiang Shaohan. However, Lin Shiyin suddenly encountered an accident recently and her life or death was unknown.

Hearing this news, Du Yunsheng couldn't help but get nervous: "What happened to Shiyin?"

The old friend sighed: "I don't know the specific situation, I just know that she was attacked by a mysterious person and her whereabouts are still unknown."
