Jiang Yuwei looked down at the box in Qiu Yue's hand and said:

"Is what your father was talking about the box you're holding?"

Autumn Moon nodded.

“Thank you, Madam, for saving me. I can never repay your kindness in my lifetime. Now you have given me a chance to be reborn. I want to seek justice for my family.”

Jiang Yuwei held Qiuyue's hand and comforted her:

"Do you think you can take on someone who wiped out your entire family of several hundred people overnight back then, all by yourself now?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Qiuyue lowered her head again and couldn't help but sob.

“But, but now that my whole family is dead, how can I live on alone? Back then, my father left such an important thing to me, hoping that one day I could clear the name of the Sun family.”

Jiang Yuwei patted Qiu Yue's shoulder to comfort her:

“Now that the people who harmed your whole family are all living well, how can you be so ashamed to live? I went to great lengths to treat your illness, not so you could be here wallowing in self-pity.”

Qiu Yue sighed and shook her head helplessly.

"But as you just said, Madam, the people who harmed my family back then must be rich and powerful now. How could a weak woman like me possibly shake them?"

Jiang Yuwei looked at the box in Qiu Yue's hand and slowly said:

"Would you like to see what your father left you?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Qiu Yue nodded hurriedly and reached out to open the box in her hand, but Jiang Yuwei stopped her.

"Wait until I go out, then you can see for yourself."

Qiu Yue quickly grasped Jiang Yuwei's hand and firmly shook her head, saying:

"No, no need, Madam. You saved me, and I don't want to hide anything from you. Sister Xia Yue told me that I would stay by your side to take care of you in the future, so I'm not afraid for you to know my secret."

Seeing that Qiu Yue insisted, Jiang Yuwei stopped talking and just nodded.

Qiu Yue slowly opened the box in her hand and saw a booklet and a yellowed letter inside. After reading it herself, Qiu Yue burst into tears and then handed the letter to Jiang Yuwei.

Jiang Yuwei was initially hesitant, but considering that this matter might be related to the Lin family, she picked up the letter and read it carefully. Only then did she realize...

It turns out that this booklet recorded how the Lin family colluded with a group of officials to buy and sell official positions. When Minister Sun wanted to expose their behavior, he was tricked by this group.

All these things were pinned on Minister Sun, which enraged the Emperor, who then issued an order to dismiss him. The Lin family wanted to find this booklet, so on the night before the Sun family was to leave the capital, they sent someone to assassinate them at their residence.

In order to find this booklet, they did not hesitate to kill all of the hundreds of members of the Lin family.

Jiang Yuwei held the booklet in her hand, her hands trembling uncontrollably. The struggles in the capital were far more treacherous than she had imagined, and now she was beginning to question her initial decision.

Can Ning Huaizhi and Ning Zhao really remain unscathed in such an environment? Is Ning Wan's current life what she wants?

Jiang Yuwei couldn't help but ask herself, did she really enjoy this life of intrigue and backstabbing in the Prince Jing's mansion?

Although I am living a comfortable life now, with plenty of food and clothing and people to wait on me, is this really what I want?

Jiang Yuwei felt her mind was in turmoil, but she still forced herself to put the letter into the box, then took Qiuyue's hand and said:

“Qiuyue, if you trust me, give this box to me for safekeeping. Right now, the heir of the Jingwang Mansion is collecting evidence of the Lin family’s corruption. These things in your hands can deliver a fatal blow to them.”

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Qiu Yue's previously dim eyes. She quickly closed the box and handed it to Jiang Yuwei, saying:

“Madam, I trust you. If this can help the young master bring down the Lin family, it will be a way to avenge our Sun family. I believe my father’s spirit in heaven would agree with what I’m doing.”

Jiang Yuwei took the box and nodded, saying:

"Alright, Qiuyue, don't worry. I won't let you take any risks on your own. From now on, you can stay in this courtyard and live in your room. In the future, just tell others that you are a maid I picked up. Forget your old name. From now on, you will be called Qiuyue."

Qiu Yue naturally knew that Jiang Yuwei was protecting her, so she nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yuwei thought that Qiuyue's body had just recovered and she shouldn't overexert herself, so she said to her:

"You should rest for a bit and not think too much. I need to hurry up and deliver this to the Crown Prince."

Autumn Moon nodded.

As soon as Jiang Yuwei left the house, she put the box into her spatial storage. Now that she was living in the Sun residence, it was inevitable that the Lin family would have some wicked intentions. They hadn't found what they were looking for back then, and she wondered if they would come back to look for this box now.

Thinking this, Jiang Yuwei couldn't help but shudder. The tragedy of the Sun family's hundreds of members being wiped out must never be repeated. Tomorrow, she must go and buy more people to guard the house.

As Jiang Yuwei pondered this, she hurried toward the Prince Jing's residence. Ever since she had that thought, Jiang Yuwei felt that everyone she met on the road had ill intentions.

As she was walking intently, someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder from behind, startling Jiang Yuwei so much that she turned around abruptly.

Just as Jiang Yuwei was about to reach out and hit the man, she saw that it was Ning Huaizhi, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"You scared me to death."

Ning Huaizhi frowned upon seeing this.

“What happened, madam? You don’t look quite right.”

Jiang Yuwei frowned and looked around before pulling Ning Huaizhi's arm and urging him on:

"Hurry up, stop talking, let's go back to the Prince's Mansion first."

Ning Huaizhi was somewhat confused by Jiang Yuwei, but seeing how nervous she was, he didn't say anything and could only quickly follow her towards the Prince's Mansion.

Just as the two reached the gate of the Prince's Mansion, they bumped into Ning Zixuan, who was about to leave.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei quickly pulled Ning Huai forward and said:

"Your Highness, is it something urgent that you need to go out?"

Ning Zixuan glanced at Jiang Yuwei holding Ning Huaizhi's hand, frowned and said:

"Nothing much, just wanted to go out for a drink."

Jiang Yuwei waved her hand and said:

"I have urgent business to attend to. If you want to drink, come to our courtyard!"

After saying that, he gestured for Ning Zixuan to follow him.

Seeing Jiang Yuwei's anxious look, Ning Zixuan had no choice but to quickly follow her.
