Xu Jingxiu's commanding tone, which contained a hint of reprimand, cast a gloomy shadow over Yan Heng's face.

The man who was always so respectful to him turned out to be like this when facing his ex-wife.

Yan Heng didn't speak, but his hand had already reached for the carriage curtain.

But soon his hand was grasped by Jiang Tian's hand.

"No, no, no, let me go out and listen to what he's up to. Please don't rush."

Yan Heng looked at her: "Aren't you in a hurry?"

Jiang Tian gave him a perfunctory kiss on the cheek: "In any case, I'll go out and take a look first. Unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to reveal your identity."

Yan Heng clearly disagreed, and just stared at Jiang Tian.

Jiang Tian whispered in his ear, "Didn't you tell me not long ago that there are still a group of people lying in ambush in the dark? We should be careful."

Yan Heng scoffed. If he were afraid, he wouldn't have accompanied Jiang Tian to the lantern festival.

However, he could tell that Jiang Tian did indeed want to meet with Xu Jingxiu.

He looked at Jiang Tian: "What exactly are you planning?"

Jiang Tian seemed to be angered by him, and finally spoke her mind: "I'm not afraid when you're by my side, but I'm not so incompetent that I need you to step in to solve this. Let me see if I can handle it myself. If I can't, then you can step in, understand?"

I even asked him if he understood...

Yan Heng looked at Jiang Tian for a while longer and realized that this woman was getting bolder and bolder.

However, he still indulged Jiang Tian.

Seeing that he had tacitly agreed, Jiang Tian was satisfied and kissed him on the cheek again.

Yan Heng was not polite at all. How could he kiss her on the cheek? He held Jiang Tian down and pried open her lips without hesitation, conquering her territory.

His voice rang out from between his lips: "Then go ahead. If you can't resolve it, I'll clean up the mess for you..."

Just one kiss was enough to leave Jiang Tian breathless and her face flushed.

After a while, she lifted the carriage curtain and got out.

Xu Jingxiu arrived filled with rage.

He was recently confined to his home, and in order to dispel the emperor's suspicions, he stayed at home for a whole month, without hosting any banquets or interacting with anyone.

During this lantern festival, the emperor granted a general amnesty, and Xu Jingxiu was released.

He wasn't interested in the lantern festival, but since Wei Zhirou wanted to come, he went along with her.

While Wei Zhirou was talking to Jiang Tian, ​​he was drinking tea at a teahouse not far away.

After Jiang Tian left, Wei Zhirou immediately went back and told Xu Jingxiu about their conversation.

Xu Jingxiu was no less shocked than Wei Zhirou.

Jiang Tian got married again, and he didn't even get a whisper of it!

However, he quickly calmed down.

The most crucial thing now is to figure out why the emperor no longer shows him the same affection as before.

He was destined for a career in officialdom, and if he continued to be distrusted by the emperor, he would never have a chance to rise in the future.

But Xu Qingshu, seemingly following someone else's whims, remained silent despite clearly realizing that there must be a hidden reason behind her being granted the title of Township Head.

Left with no other choice, they turned their attention to Jiang Tian.

Xu Jingxiu immediately ordered his servants to follow Jiang Tian and intercept her after the lantern festival, which was the safest course of action.

This is the capital, not the border region; Xu Jingxiu must proceed with extreme caution.

If he causes a scene at the lantern festival, the emperor will probably find out within an hour.
