At sunset, the evening glow dyed half the sky red, and a layer of afterglow fell on Xiangyue Pavilion, as if coating the entire small courtyard with a layer of gold.

At this time, the warehouse in the courtyard was opened, and boxes of supplies were moved from Mingxuan into the warehouse. Jiang Wanyue looked at the pearwood boxes and smiled sincerely. The girl's beautiful face looked even more lively under the afterglow.

Jiang Wanyue should be very happy, right? She helped her get her mother's dowry back, and also got back the housekeeping rights that originally belonged to her.

Jiang Wanyue naturally gave Bu Jing the task of counting the dowry. Bu Jing, Bu Jing, really lived up to her name. She was always calm and steady in her daily work. This was what Ye Qingwu had heard from Jiang Wanyue when they were in the boudoir.

On Mingxuan's side, when Chen got the news, she was so angry that she smashed a set of cups. She was promised thirty lashes, but she was not given any face at all.

The maids were kneeling on the floor in the room. Chen was sitting at the table, breathing heavily. She caught a glimpse of a pair of embroidered shoes approaching from the corner of her eye.

"Why are you so angry, Aunt? Jiang Wanyue will leave the Earl's Mansion soon." The girl's gentle voice sounded with a hint of ill intention.

The person who came was Jiang Wei.

"What do you mean?" Chen was puzzled.

Jiang Wei raised her lips and whispered something into Chen's ear.

Chen's expression changed from disbelief to ecstasy. After calming down, she still solemnly advised: "Remember to do this cleanly and don't let anyone catch you."

"Don't worry, auntie. This time, I will make her pay the price!" Jiang Wei tightly grasped the handkerchief, her eyes gleaming coldly.

Jiang Wanyue certainly didn't know about the plan of Chen's mother and daughter. At this time, she was trying on a nightgown.

into the night.

The sky was as dark as ink, with only a few scattered stars hanging in the sky, emitting faint light.

The night watchman was beating the gong while chanting "It's dry, be careful with fire." Perhaps because he was very sleepy, his eyes were slightly closed. But when he was passing the alley in front of Ye's mansion, a black shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes.

The night watchman was stunned for a moment, then his mind suddenly became clear. He was immediately terrified and did not dare to look around. With trembling legs, he dropped the gong and drum and ran towards home.

Ye Mansion.

Time seemed to have passed. Jiang Wanyue, dressed in black, blended into the night, with a black scarf covering her face, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes that watched everything in front of her.

The yard was already overgrown with weeds, and although no one was taking care of them, they were growing very well. Perhaps it was because human blood had seeped into the soil and added fertilizer. Jiang Wanyue walked to a withered jasmine flower and touched it blankly. This was planted by her mother since she got married. After five years, it had lost its former beauty and looked withered and decadent.

Jiang Wanyue never thought that she could return to the Ye Mansion again, even though she could only sneak in like a thief.

Yes, she was reborn, in the year she died, the year the Ye family was destroyed! She was reborn into the body of her best friend Jiang Wanyue.

She is the former queen Ye Qingwu, and also the current daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Wanyue.

Although he could live his life again, the situation had already been decided and nothing could be undone.

But she also wants those people to pay the price!

Jiang Wanyue withdrew her hand, crouched down and sneaked into the study of Ye Mansion.

When she died in her previous life, Xie Jinghong said that the evidence of treason was found in her father's study. However, as cautious as her father was, he would not say whether there was treason or not. Even if there was, it was impossible for her father to put the evidence in a place where it could be easily found.

There must be something else that Xie Jinghong is afraid of or wants.

Jiang Wanyue stood in the study, looking at the familiar furnishings in front of her, as if she was back in her childhood when she made a mistake and was taken to the study by her father for training.

The study room looked a little messy at this moment, and it was obvious that it had been flipped through. Jiang Wanyue stopped in front of a painting.

The painting shows a vast and distant landscape. A river runs through the mountains. An old man is rowing a boat leisurely in the river with a small fish basket beside him. It is a picture of a fisherman returning with a full load.

In fact, when she saw this painting a long time ago, she didn't feel that there was anything different. But when she looked carefully at it, she found that the fish basket was slightly different from ordinary fish baskets. The middle part of ordinary fish baskets was more prominent, but the one in the painting seemed to be upside down, and the roundest part was at the top.

Jiang Wanyue raised her hand and pressed it gently. A sound was heard and the ground beside her sank, revealing a staircase leading downwards.

Jiang Wanyue lit the fire and tiptoed downstairs.

The further she went down, the wider the view became, and when she finally saw the scene in front of her, she was stunned!

This is a replica of the study room on the ground floor! All the furnishings and the painting are exactly there, even the position is very accurate.

However, compared to the study room above, the furnishings in front of him, although covered with dust, looked much tidier, and obviously had not been discovered by anyone.

Jiang Wanyue suddenly felt fortunate that the Ye family had been busy for several days and Xie Jinghong hadn't noticed this place. She couldn't help but feel contempt for him.

If there is a world above ground, there must be one below ground too.

Jiang Wanyue ran to the painting without thinking. She stared at it closely and finally lifted it up suddenly, revealing the wall behind it. There was a secret compartment on the wall, right opposite the fish basket.

Jiang Wanyue was a little nervous, as if there was some unspeakable secret hidden in it. She opened the secret compartment with trembling hands, revealing a bright yellow scroll.

The edict of succession!

Jiang Wanyue opened it, glanced at it, and quickly put it in her arms. She covered her chest and gasped.

Her father risked his life to take out the edict of succession to support the new emperor, but was forced to give in by her. She always thought that her father had burned it or given it to Ye Jingce... Oh no, it should be the regent Xie Jingce now, but she didn't expect that her father still kept it.

I think Xie Jinghong wanted to destroy the Ye Mansion as soon as possible because he was afraid that someone would use the imperial edict to make trouble again, or he was afraid that the imperial edict would fall into Xie Jingce's hands. But if he didn't get the imperial edict, he would definitely not be at ease.

Jiang Wanyue suddenly felt that with this edict, she had an extra bargaining chip for revenge.

There was a sound of something colliding at the door. Jiang Wanyue became alert and quickly looked in the direction of the person coming and going. A sharp light flashed in her eyes. Jiang Wanyue took out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed it towards the person in front of her, but the person dodged. But how could Jiang Wanyue give up? What if the person coming was someone around Xie Jinghong? Then not only would she die here, but the Ye Mansion would also not escape a hunt.

Seeing that there was no escape, the people in the dark simply started fighting with each other, but in the end, Jiang Wanyue's dagger was clamped tightly by the opponent and she could not move.

The other person was dressed in black and wore a mask on his face, as if he didn't want to show his true face. His eyes were like nighthawks. The two looked at each other. Jiang Wanyue only felt that these eyes were somewhat familiar, but her life was at stake at the moment, and she couldn't afford to think about it any more.

Jiang Wanyue had no choice but to take out a few silver needles from her other hand and suddenly threw them at the other party, acting quickly and without any delay.

The moment that man avoided the silver needle, Jiang Wanyue loosened her hand. Not daring to stay any longer, she jumped out of the study window and blended into the darkness.

The moonlight gradually became brighter and poured into the house.

The man walked to the window, picked up the purse lying safely on the ground, and rubbed it with his fingertips. His shadow was elongated by the moonlight and reflected on the wall behind him.

The man held up the purse to the moonlight and could see clearly the word embroidered on it: Jiang.

"The daughter of the Jiang family can actually perform Qinggong?" The man opened his thin lips slightly, and his magnetic voice sounded a little cold in the moonlight in this empty house, "Interesting."

"Your Highness, how are you?" Another man in black rushed into the study and knelt behind the man.

The wind blew at night, slightly lifting the man's sleeves. His face was looming in the moonlight, adding a sense of mystery.

"It has been taken away." The man said calmly, as if he was not very disappointed with the result, as if it was just an insignificant thing, "Find someone to keep an eye on Miss Jiang."

Without waiting for his subordinates to speak, the man left his instructions and flashed out of Jiang Mansion.
