Jiang Wanyue was so angry that she couldn't speak. The first thing that came to her mind was that Chen did it. After all, a person like Chen even dared to embezzle the mistress's dowry. What else could he not do?

But now there is no evidence, and empty talk will only bring trouble to herself. This time, it was Chen who forced her to do so.

Jiang Wanyue immediately came up with a plan.

After seeing Sun Zhen off, Jiang Wanyue went to the Regent's Palace in disguise.

When Jiang Wanyue saw Xie Jingce, he was standing behind the table writing big characters. A breeze came in from the window, the boy's sleeves fluttered, his black hair was tied up high, and his eyes moved as he wrote the characters.

Jiang Wanyue was stunned for two seconds, and couldn't help but marvel at Xie Jingce's appearance, which was the most beautiful in the world.

Unfortunately, it only exists when Xie Jingce is quiet, like now.

Fang was still wondering why Xie Jingce was not surprised at her arrival. Before she could ask, Jiang Wanyue remembered another thing. She smiled and said, "The person on the tree in my yard is yours, right? I was wondering why you happened to find me when I went to Ye Mansion."

Xie Jingce put down his pen and looked at Jiang Wanyue, but smiled without saying anything.

"Don't you want to know my secret?" Jiang Wanyue walked to the table, put her hands on the table, and leaned forward. "I came here this time to make a deal with you."

"I don't want it." Xie Jingce spread another layer of rice paper and started dipping it in ink again.

Jiang Wanyue's smile froze on her lips: "Someone was still forcing me to tell you about the secrets of a good girl yesterday. How come he doesn't care anymore after one night?"

Xie Jingce paused with his pen in hand, a warm feeling flashed across his eyes, and he lowered his gaze.

"Everyone has their secrets, don't they?"

There was a hint of anger in Jiang Wanyue's eyes, but Xie Jingce actually repeated his words to her.

She clenched her fists, but then she loosened her fists and said with a smile, "What do you want me to do to help you?"

"Marry me."

Jiang Wanyue almost stumbled and fell to the ground when she heard this.

"Get, get married?" Jiang Wanyue widened her eyes and looked at Xie Jingce in disbelief.

Xie Jingce remained calm and nodded seriously to Jiang Wanyue: "That's my request."

Jiang Wanyue's heart could no longer remain calm. This, this, this, should she not risk her entire life just to bring down Concubine Chen?

But she doesn't have her own power, and Jiang Ye's poison has already spread to the Western Regions. She can't investigate it alone.

But she didn't want to marry Xie Jingce. First, it was because the family feud in the previous life had not been avenged, and second, this body was not hers... and she hadn't seen "Jiang Wanyue" for a long time, and the two of them couldn't discuss it.

It's really hard to make a decision, Jiang Wanyue thought.

"Miss Jiang, you can take three days to think about it carefully." Xie Jingce lowered his head and did not look at Jiang Wanyue.

Of course, the two did not reach a deal in the end, and Jiang Wanyue had to return to Xiangyue Pavilion disappointedly. She sat on a rattan chair, rocking in the sun.

Now that Chen's mother and daughter are under house arrest, there are fewer noisy days, and she has also banned Mingxuan from knowing any news from outside, so naturally she doesn't worry about Chen doing anything weird again.

But if she really wants to catch Chen with something, she must be desperate enough to do something. But there is no one around her who can be used. How can she lure the snake out of its hole?

Chunhe and Bujing stood behind Jiang Wanyue. Seeing that Jiang Wanyue was distracted, they thought she was sad because she couldn't find an antidote for Jiang Ye's poison. No one dared to go up to disturb her.

Suddenly, Jiang Wanyue opened her eyes, ran into the house, told the two to grind ink, and then wrote a letter in a very eloquent manner.

"Chunhe, don't be alarmed. I will give you an important task now." Jiang Wanyue carefully blew away the ink, then folded it and put it in an envelope, holding it in front of Chunhe and the others. "If I behave like I did when I first met the prince, you must give this letter to her."

Chunhe and Bujing looked at each other in bewilderment. What did they mean by hand it over to...her?

Should I write a letter to myself?

Seeing the two people hesitating, Jiang Wanyue helplessly held her forehead. She could understand their current mentality. After all, any normal person would be confused when encountering such a situation.

But she couldn't explain it clearly, so she could only say, "Just give it to her for me. You can also read the letter. Just tell her and she will understand after reading it."

Chunhe and Bujing had no choice but to agree.

But for Jiang Wanyue, she still needs to wait for an opportunity. However, Xie Jingce gave a deadline of three days. If they cannot communicate within three days, everything will be in vain.

In this case, we can only pray.

However, this opportunity came much faster than Jiang Wanyue had imagined, because an unexpected guest came to the house the next day.

"Lin Sheng?"

Jiang Wanyue stood up from her chair, completely unaware of her excitement.

"Yes, Miss, I heard that Mr. Lin came here specially to see you. Shouldn't you be very happy?" Chunhe blinked.

Jiang Wanyue was stunned for a moment before she remembered who Lin Sheng was.

Lin Sheng is the illegitimate son of Minister Lin. He met Jiang Wanyue in his early years and fell in love with her. However, due to their different social status, Jiang Cheng would definitely not agree to marry his legitimate daughter to his illegitimate son. In addition, Su passed away three years ago, and Jiang Wanyue had to observe mourning for three years, so they never mentioned marriage.

In her memory, "Jiang Wanyue" had indeed mentioned Lin Sheng to her many times, and it turned out that the two of them had had this feeling for a long time.

However, Lin Sheng is talented and if he can get a good rank in the imperial examination this year, he might be favored by Jiang Cheng, and the two of them could finally get married.

Just for now...

Jiang Wanyue rubbed her eyebrows.

"Where is Mr. Lin?" Jiang Wanyue asked.

Since the person came to see her, it would be somewhat inappropriate for her not to go and meet him.

"It's in the main hall." Chunhe said.

However, he was puzzled by Jiang Wanyue's behavior. In the past, Jiang Wanyue's eyes would light up when she heard Lin Sheng's name. Even on the way to meet him, she walked in a dizzy manner. But now, she looked anxious and he didn't know what she was worried about.

Jiang Wanyue seemed to have changed, yet she didn't change. Chunhe watched Jiang Wanyue's departing steps, and then he came to his senses and hurried to catch up with her.

In the main hall, Lin Shengguo was sitting downstairs drinking tea and waiting for her.

Lin Sheng was dressed in a blue robe, had a thin figure, and had the bearing of a scholar.

When Lin Sheng heard the footsteps, he quickly put down his teacup, stood up, and took a few quick steps towards Jiang Wanyue. Then he felt it was too abrupt, so he stopped where he was and saluted Jiang Wanyue.

"Please forgive me for disturbing you, Miss Jiang."

"No problem," Jiang Wanyue returned the greeting and sat at the head of the table. "I wonder why Master Lin came here?"

Lin Sheng was stunned. He could feel Jiang Wanyue's alienation towards him. His heart ached for no reason. He frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed.

Lin Sheng looked at Jiang Wanyue affectionately: "Yue'er, don't you remember what happened to us?"
