Chapter 445 Related to Xiao Yu

As soon as the waiter finished speaking, Jiang Fenghua continued, "Did you see their faces clearly? If you saw them now, would you recognize them?" Su Qingqing's appearance was considered above average. The woman the matchmaker had mentioned was in her thirties, and she looked about the same age as Su Qingqing.

"Yes, even though they're wearing veils, they still eat with their mouths, right? I glanced at them and thought they were very beautiful. Both women were very pretty; one looked about seventeen or eighteen, and the other was in her thirties." He also thought the lady in front of him was very beautiful; he always had a good impression of beautiful people.

"Thank you, brother. You can go back to your work now," Jiang Fenghua said.

At this moment, Xiao Yu also sat down and said softly, "Does Madam have any clues?"

Jiang Fenghua smiled slightly, "Let's eat first! Everyone's hungry."

Next, they waited for the waiter to bring out all the morning tea and snacks. Then, they took turns checking on her, fearing that someone might try to harm her or the baby in her womb.

Jiang Fenghua was the last to eat, because they had tested each dessert for poison.

Jiang Fenghua thought it over carefully. Imperial Censor Zhu wouldn't be so stupid as to hire someone to assassinate her. Even the rumors in Shengjing City that were detrimental to her were because the Zhu family's ambition forced her to focus her attention on them. At that time, she was misled. It's possible that someone deliberately sent a message to Luo Ziqiong, wanting Luo Ziqiong to tell her that the Zhu family was behind it all.

Some people wanted her to fight against the Zhu family, and the Zhu family was indeed getting impatient, especially after Zhu Zhenzhen miscarried. Later, the Zhu family wanted another daughter to seduce Xie Shang. Then, Zhu Zhenzhen told them some things, and they realized she had been misled.

Her elder brother even sent her a message telling her about the Zhu family.

It's possible that Imperial Censor Zhu helped Su Xuan transport gunpowder to the capital, but how could someone go to Luo Ziqiong's tavern and get drunk to talk about such a thing? At the same time, her elder brother also sent her a message about this, and she thought it was just the Zhu family trying to stir up trouble.

Jiang Fenghua suddenly stared at Xiao Yu. At that time, her elder brother had been at home and had not left the manor. It was Xiao Yu who told her elder brother this news.

It is also related to Xiao Yu.

At the time, she asked her elder brother how Xiao Yu knew about it. He said that someone was spreading rumors about her in the government office. During that period, the Jiang family was indeed vying for the position of Minister of Revenue, and Censor Zhu was also vying for that position. In addition, the young ladies of the Crown Prince's Palace were giving birth, and she was so busy that she was overwhelmed.

No wonder she pointed all the blame at the Zhu family, ignoring many other details.

How could Imperial Censor Zhu easily let others know that he had done such a thing? This was a crime punishable by death and the extermination of his entire family!

Xie Shang hadn't even ascended the throne yet, and Imperial Censor Zhu was Xie Shang's favorite minister. It was impossible for him not to cherish his reputation and cause so much trouble.

It turns out that the person behind it wanted her to fight against the Zhu family.

Today, someone wants to use Zhu Zhenzhen to harm Xiao Yu, and it's related to Xiao Yu again.

Jiang Fenghua suddenly leaned closer to Xiao Yu and asked, "Young Master Xiao, do you have any enemies? Especially women? Have you offended any women?"

She knew that Xiao Yu might have some different feelings for her, but her attitude had already shown everything. She thought Xiao Yu was a very sensible person, or perhaps he lost his composure when it came to her, and someone might have taken advantage of him.

When Xiao Yu saw her face suddenly get close, he blushed deeply, not knowing what he was thinking, and didn't know how to answer her.

Jiang Fenghua concealed all her emotions and said, "Let's eat first!" Asking him this question now might not be appropriate.

Jiang Fenghua was unaware that Xiao Yu and Qin Yunyan also had a entanglement. She only thought that Qin Yunyan was Xie Shang's favorite concubine in his previous life. Now that Qin Yunyan had not entered the palace, she had put her out of her mind.

Xiao Yu composed himself, "No..."

He thought of the Qin family again and said softly, "Qin Tai, the prefect of Quanzhou, was corrupt and accepted bribes. It was I who investigated him. I've known Qin Tai's daughter, Qin Yunyan, for many years. Her parents are dead..."

Jiang Fenghua was startled. "Qin Yunyan."

"Xiao Yu quickly explained, "My family is also from Quanzhou, which is how I know her. I also know that Qin Tai is a corrupt official, but no one has taken action against him because his family has connections."

Jiang Fenghua then recalled seeing Qin Yunyan in the funeral procession.

Zhang Jingjing glanced around. "I know that girl. She's very beautiful." She had given her a lot of silver notes back then, but the Qin family was investigated and punished soon after, so those silver notes were useless.

She tentatively asked, "Does Madam know this Qin Yunyan?"

"I don't know her, but I've heard the Empress Dowager mention that one of the first batch of candidates was named Qin Yunyan. However, I don't know why she didn't enter the palace." Jiang Fenghua finally understood. It turned out that Qin Yunyan wanted to harm Xiao Yu. So, the person who helped Zhu Yiyi was Qin Yunyan.

The Qin family has already fallen. In her previous life, Qin Yunyan and Su Tingwan were rivals. In this life, the two have no connection. Those rumors were spread by Qin Yunyan. She has no hatred for Qin Yunyan, so it can only be the Su family.

There is still one survivor in the Su family, and that person is Su Qingqing.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu also pondered. If anyone considered him an enemy, it was probably Qin Yunyan. She wanted revenge for him when he raided the Qin family's property.

At this moment, Jiang Jinyan hurriedly came over. He stared at Jiang Fenghua, his eyes full of inquiry and anxiety, "Ruan Ruan."

Jiang Fenghua said, "Brother, what brings you here? Sit down and have some food with everyone. This dim sum place is quite good."

He glanced at the group, realizing he had been too hasty, and concealed his true emotions. "I need to speak with Ruan Ruan about something. Ruan Ruan, come with me!"

"What is it?" Why are you in such a hurry? Is it something about Xie Shang? She doesn't care about him at all. Even if he directly favored Zhu Yiyi, she wouldn't be surprised. After all, Zhu Yiyi is a beauty, and Xie Shang likes beautiful women.

Jiang Jinyan didn't know how to ask the question. He was filled with mixed feelings. His sister and Su Tingwan were fighting tooth and nail over a dream.

Although he knew it was impossible and too absurd, he still wanted to ask Ruan Ruan in person, and Xie Shang also wanted to know the answer.

He had been puzzled since he was a child.

Jiang Fenghua stared at him, sensing that something terrible had happened that she couldn't say. She said, "Why don't you guys eat first? My brother and I will be right back."

Jiang Jinyan suddenly glanced into the restaurant and said calmly, "After you've finished eating, let's find a quiet place to talk slowly."

He said softly, "I'm afraid... the walls might be listening."

So Jiang Jinyan sat down and had breakfast with them, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.

Jiang Fenghua glanced at it casually while holding a teacup, then quickly looked away. "Brother, eat up. The tea and snacks that Young Master Xiao found are very good, especially these sweet glutinous rice balls."

She personally scooped out a few spoonfuls and handed them to him.

At this moment, Lin Yu said sarcastically, "The eldest young master is not at the inn with that gentleman."
