Jiang Wanyue had just returned to the Jiang Mansion when a heavy rain fell in the second half of the night. It came suddenly and violently, and the temperature dropped rapidly. However, she was unaware of all this and just unconsciously pulled the quilt closer at night.

The incense burner on the table emitted wisps of smoke that swirled upwards in circles and then disappeared.

But Jiang Wanyue did not fall asleep. All that appeared in her mind was the scene of the fight with that man just now.

And those eyes gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but considering her past and present lives, she couldn't remember who it was.

She simply stopped thinking about it and just hoped that the person was not Xie Jinghong's.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanyue fell into a deep sleep.

The palace banquet was held in the evening, and Jiang Wanyue wanted to sleep until noon to make up for the sleep she lost last night, but she was still woken up by the noise.

"Chunhe, what's going on outside?" Jiang Wanyue asked in a daze with her eyes closed.

"Miss, the Regent's men are about to enter the city." Chunhe answered through the door.

Jiang Wanyue woke up instantly, not because she heard the word "Regent", but because of the pair of eyes last night that just flashed through her mind, and she finally remembered who they belonged to!

"Chunhe, please help me with my dressing up!" Jiang Wanyue jumped up from the bed, put on her shoes and sat down in front of the dressing table.

Upon hearing this, Chunhe thought that her young lady wanted to see the Regent, and immediately ordered the maids to carry the toiletries into the house.

Half an hour later, Jiang Wanyue took Chunhe and the other two out, but met Jiang Wei at the door.

Jiang Wanyue suddenly felt unlucky. She rolled her eyes where Jiang Wei couldn't see and silently told her not to come near.

But Jiang Wei seemed very happy, and she came up to him and asked, "Sister, are you going to leave the house?"

This time when Jiang Wei was watching, Jiang Wanyue rolled her eyes in her heart, secretly cursing Jiang Wei for being blind for not being able to see such an obvious thing.

But she didn't show it on her face. Jiang Wanyue smiled slightly and said, "Yes, can't Third Sister see it?"

Jiang Wei choked, but managed to maintain a smile, and said, "My father specially lifted my house arrest today. I wanted to go and see how beautiful the Regent is, but my sister has something important to attend to, so she can't accompany me."

Jiang Wanyue sneered. Jiang Wei was just a concubine's daughter. What important matter could she have?

However, Jiang Wanyue was too lazy to expose it and hoped that Jiang Wei would not go with her. She glanced at Jiang Wei indifferently, turned around and got on the carriage.

Jiang Wei looked at the carriage going away, her face finally couldn't hold back and twisted, her eyes were cold, her fingers had already crumpled the handkerchief into a ball, but when she thought of today's important business, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she turned and walked in the opposite direction.

In the carriage, Chun He said, "Miss, I have found out everything. When you gathered the servants to talk yesterday, the two people who asked questions were arranged by Aunt Chen to deliberately make things difficult for you. Their purpose was to help you win the card of the head of the household."

Jiang Wanyue's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, and it was obvious that she had expected this. She said, "Sure enough, the punishment of house arrest is a bit light... Send someone to keep an eye on Jiang Wei, so as not to alert the enemy."

Chunhe took the order and went down to give instructions.

After a cup of tea, the carriage slowly stopped in front of a restaurant.

Jiangfeng Tower is a property under the name of the Su family. Jiang Wanyue discovered this when she was looking at the account books.

Whether it was intentional or not, someone from the restaurant came to greet Jiang Wanyue as soon as she got off the carriage.

Jiang Wanyue looked at Bu Jing in confusion. She had decided to leave home today to see Xie Jingce on a whim, so why did it seem like she had booked a room in advance?

Without panic or haste, he smiled and said, "Miss, Chunhe asked someone to book a private room this morning, and it's the one with the best view."

Jiang Wanyue looked at the unsurprised smile and felt that it was mixed with other meanings. She said: "?"

But it’s better this way, so she doesn’t have to recognize the wrong person. She came here to confirm it.

In the No. 1 room, Jiang Wanyue opened the window. From this position, she could see the main street of the capital city at a glance.

There is still some distance from the city gate to the main street, but more and more people are standing on both sides of the street, discussing the deeds of the Regent.

Jiang Wanyue was shocked. This was the first time she had seen a street empty with thousands of people since her rebirth. It was all because of Xie Jingce. She suddenly felt that it was a waste of resources.

"Here they come, the Regent's men are coming this way!"

Someone shouted loudly, and the crowd became excited again. Jiang Wanyue also looked in the direction of the road.

The clatter of horse hooves came from afar and gradually became clearer. The figure on the horse's back was a young man in his early twenties, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, handsome features, and a smile in his eyes, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Jiang Wanyue looked at the familiar face, but felt no favor towards him.

In her previous life, when she was Ye Qingwu, Xie Jingce was already in her family before she was born, and he was given the title of the eldest son.

At first, she always thought that Xie Jingce was her parents' biological son and her brother, so her father always taught him martial arts personally. Xie Jingce was also quite talented and could always quickly grasp the key points.

When Xie Jingce was practicing martial arts, Ye Qingwu would often secretly go to see him, but the Ye family had a unique skill that was only passed down to legitimate children, and as Xie Jingce was the eldest son of the Ye family at the time, he should not have been unable to learn it.

Ye Qingwu had never seen him use it, so she became suspicious. Later, she asked her father and found out that Xie Jingce was just an abandoned baby he found on a snowy night more than ten years ago, and he took him in because of his pitiful life.

Her father spoke sincerely, so she did not doubt it much. It was not until the death of the late emperor and the appearance of the imperial edict of succession that she was shocked to find out that Xie Jingce was actually the legitimate son of the late emperor and the late empress.

Later, she was fully focused on assisting Xie Jinghong and forcing her father to retreat.

As for Xie Jingce, the prince returned to the court and was the legitimate son of the Empress, so he became the regent. However, he watched helplessly as the Ye family declined and ended up with the entire family being executed.

However, if she had not persuaded her father to give up and let Xie Jingce succeed to the throne smoothly, would the situation be different? Based on her understanding of Xie Jinghong, that person should have gone crazy.

"Welcome to the triumphant return of the Regent!"

"Welcome to the triumphant return of the Regent!"

"..."

Among the crowd, the voices were getting louder and louder, pulling Jiang Wanyue's thoughts back from the distant past.

Jiang Wanyue just stared at the young man on the horse, trying to get any clues about the man from last night from his eyes.

I don’t know if it was because Xie Jingce hid too well, or because of Jiang Wanyue’s psychological problems, but no trace was found at all.

To be honest, Jiang Wanyue didn't know what role Xie Jingce played in the demise of the Ye family, but at this moment, she didn't want Xie Jingce to interfere in the affairs of her Ye family.

Xie Jingce below was looking straight ahead with a cold look in his eyes, but his handsome face was too eye-catching. No matter if it was the women in the dark or standing in the crowd, they could not take their eyes away after seeing Xie Jingce.

The horse carried Xie Jingce leisurely through the main street, with hot air constantly exhaling from its nose and mouth, as if it was enjoying the respect of the people.

When passing by Jiangfeng Tower, Xie Jingce's eyebrows moved and he looked up towards the second floor, but the people upstairs had already closed the window and were still worried about Xie Jingce's caution.

Xie Jingce was confused. He just clearly felt a burning gaze falling on him, but he didn't see anyone.
