After a few bland sermons, the Third Lady had to fulfill her duty as a nanny, and called the doctor to come and see Jiang Ruohua again, and asked the kitchen to boil ginger soup and hot tea, and then asked the maids to take good care of her, and to make sure that Jiang Ruohua would not catch a cold or fever, and then took Jiang Ruoting away.

"Miss, the ginger soup is here."

Hua Chan took the ginger soup from the little maid and asked her to go down. She personally served Jiang Ruohua, blew on the boiling ginger soup before passing it over.

"Give it to me." Jiang Ruohua took it and drank it in one gulp after tasting the temperature. She immediately felt her throat and stomach were boiling with the hot ginger soup. After wrapping herself in the quilt, she began to sweat.

Huachan and Yinqiu took turns wiping the sweat off Jiang Ruohua's body. Yinqiu changed a handkerchief and said, "You really scared me today. This pleasure boat has been in good condition for so many years. How could it suddenly become so rotten? And it happened to be the room where Princess Shangyang was."

"Did you see the person who jumped into the water to save people before me?" Jiang Ruohua took a book in her hand and read it to pass the time.

"It seems... to be a man, but far away. After you rushed down, we only cared about you and didn't pay attention to those things." Yin Qiu said.

Putting the book on the bed casually, Jiang Ruohua leaned on the soft pillow and looked at them and said, "That's the prince of Minghou Mansion."

When they heard it, they were all shocked!

What kind of person is the prince of Minghou Mansion? Who in the whole capital doesn't know who doesn't know? Relying on the merits of his ancestors and the title to get by, the second-generation ancestor, his elder sister is the new favorite in the palace. This prince of Minghou Mansion is a devil, and he is even more lawless when he grows up. Minghou and his wife don't care, and let him bully others and bully the weak. It's not

uncommon for him to rob women and kill maids, and his elder sister has dealt with it all.

"The Ming Marquisate has fallen into decline in this generation, and no one can achieve fame and honor. How can the mansion squander the little property it has left?" Jiang Ruohua whispered, "I was considered fast at that time, but not as fast as the prince

of Ming Marquisate. The fall into the water might be an accident, but the rescue might not be the same." Yin Qiu frowned, "Miss, what you mean is that the prince of Ming Marquisate wants to... become the princess Shangyang's consort?"

"Not to mention a meteoric rise, it would be easy for him to get a leisurely job. Princess Shangyang is the legitimate daughter of the imperial harem. Her monthly salary plus fiefdom is much higher than that of other princesses. Ten Ming Marquisates can't give out that much."

To get all this, all one needs to do is take away the princess's innocence. How simple it is.

Hua Chan glared at him and said angrily, "How can this be? The prince of Minghou Mansion is worse than a pig or a dog! He has no achievements and no moral character. Look at how he is so dissolute every day. Who knows, he might have some kind of dirty disease! How can he dare to touch the legitimate princess?"

"So, if I don't go down, Princess Shangyang will be ruined for the rest of her life." Jiang Ruohua was also angry. Even if she was a princess, she could not escape marrying down to save face after being flirted with. She had encountered many injustices in her dreams and had seen too many injustices. "If I go down, I may just be sick for a few days, but if I don't go down and let this thing succeed, I will never be able to swallow this breath."

As a woman, this experience that can only happen to women inevitably made Jiang Ruohua sympathize with each other. Since she could help and it was beneficial to herself, she thought she had no reason to stand by and watch.

Although she said so, she had practiced martial arts for many years, so her body was not so weak that she would not be able to stand down after soaking in the water for a while. She was completely fine now.

"Let's have dinner by ourselves," Jiang Ruohua said, "It's quieter now. Whoever comes will say I'm asleep."

Yin Qiu nodded. While the maids in the hotel were lazy, she went to get a new nightgown for Jiang Ruohua. She asked her father Xiao Xin Zhuoren to bring it in.

With the new nightgown, it was more convenient to go out at night. Jiang Ruohua took a look at it and put it on the bed temporarily. Hua Chan brought back dinner not long after. He saw the nightgown on the bed and said, "Miss, why don't you take a day off before going?"

"The sooner the better." After thinking about it, Jiang Ruohua felt that it would be better to go today. Last night, Master Gao sent someone to deliver a letter, asking her to find time to go again, which meant that the iron order was ready.

Jiang Ruohua did not know who the master behind the mysterious iron order was from her grandfather, and she had no idea what the iron order could do for her, but since she had it in her hands, she would give it a try. In

the dim night, Jiang Ruohua hurried to Grandpa Gao's house.

"You are here."

Grandpa Gao opened the door and invited Jiang Ruohua in. Jiang Ruohua nodded: "Grandpa Gao."

The old and the young, the two put on their night clothes. As the former servants of the Jiang family and the soldiers who had fought with the Duke, Grandpa Gao was still very agile at his age. After a simple farewell to Grandma Gao, Grandpa Gao took Jiang Ruohua to an increasingly secluded place.

It is considered to be the most special area in the capital. Thirty years ago, a meteorite fell there, smashing all the houses there into a mess. Many people living there died in the disaster, and most of the remaining people chose to move away for fear of natural disasters. Although the emperor ordered the state to contribute to the reconstruction afterwards, on the one hand, no noble families would live there, and on the other hand, ordinary people either feared natural disasters or had no money to buy houses. Because of these reasons, they did not pay much attention to the renovation. In addition, no one lived there and no one managed it afterwards, and several parts of the house fell into disrepair.

As time went by, the place fell into disrepair and no one was willing to settle here. It became a place for ruffians and homeless people.

The more ruffians there were, the more unwilling ordinary people were.

Officials didn't dare to intervene here, so wouldn't ordinary people without power and influence have no way out?

People sleeping in dilapidated tile houses could be seen everywhere. Although summer was better than winter, and it wasn't so cold because of the draft, it was still smelly in summer. Most of the people here were homeless and poor people who made a living by begging and stealing. They were not good people.

Jiang Ruohua didn't like this

place. A place without anyone to watch over it was a place where power had the final say. Some houses here were good, some were bad, but even in a place that leaked drafts and rain, you couldn't sleep there just because you wanted to. This place had its own rules, and there was also the so-called overlord. Even at night, it wasn't quiet here. There were arguments, fights, shouting, and obscene words. If you listened carefully, you could hear them.
