Chapter 283 Gathering at the Yang Mansion
Qiu Man yelled, "What are you two talking about? Are you talking about An Wenzhi?"
Jiang Nianyin blushed and shook her head, "No, we were talking about Master Song."
Now, it was Qiu Man's turn to feel embarrassed.
She looked up and saw the study window open. Yang Xu pulled Song Wang over and said to his apprentice, "Are you looking for Song Wang?"
Qiu Man quickly waved her hands: "No, no, we were just chatting."
Jiang Jing stood behind and smiled at Jiusu through the space above. Jiusu lowered his head and after a while, he held up a piece of snow in the shape of a heart.
“Tsk.”
Yang Xu patted his apprentice's shoulder and said disdainfully, "Look at them, they're enjoying a successful career and love life, but look at you, is there anyone giving you a thumbs-up?"
After a moment, Song Wang said, "Yes."
"Huh?" Yang Xu turned around and saw the Snow Heart in Qiu Man's hand. His teeth clenched. "Hey, I really don't understand you young people."
Yang Caier held the snow and shouted, "Dad!"
Yang Xu's attitude immediately changed: "Hey! Good daughter."
After leaving Yang Mansion, they sat in a carriage. Song Wang talked about the cause of his master's wife's death, and the hatred on his face became more and more obvious. The carriage became much quieter. He sighed and said dejectedly.
"Master said he advised us not to get involved in this matter. He has been investigating it for years but has made no progress."
Jiusu said, "Could it be someone they know? The more unexpected the person, the more likely they are to be the murderer. I think we should start by investigating the places Madam Yang and Madam An visited and the people they met before and after they were murdered."
Song Wang took out the case file from the bamboo box.
"It's been fifteen years. Memories may have faded, but the scroll remains the same. I borrowed it from the Dali Temple and my master. It records the events of the deceased."
He distributed some to everyone present.
Jiang Nianyin said guiltily, "I don't understand the case, and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."
Jiusu said, "It's okay. I don't understand either. One more person means more strength. Maybe you can figure out something strange. The number is so large. Let's work together. Mr. Song has a special status. The Song Mansion is not safe. The hot pot restaurant will open tomorrow. When the time comes, we will use the third floor of the hot pot restaurant as a place for conversation."
Several people nodded in agreement.
The next day.
Jiusu came to the Jiang family and chatted and laughed with Jiang Jing. When they walked out of the house, she glanced at Princess Jiayun out of the corner of her eye and thought, "Wow, she's really resistant to the cold."
She said, "Have you heard? The Xige people are so beautiful. When they walk with Lord An, they say they are pleasing to the eyes."
"Really?" Jiang Jing said, "I heard Master An say before that he really longs for the outside world."
Xu Jiayun gritted her teeth, pounded her fists on the wall, and couldn't help but let her tears fall. She complained, lifted her dress, and began to search for her man.
"I really don't understand what my mother wants me to do here!"
She wiped away her tears aggrievedly.
The man is about to run away, so why apologize to these lowly people?
Many people have heard of the hot pot restaurant's reputation. As soon as it opened, people came to eat. The first floor was used as the hall, the second floor was used as the private rooms, and the third floor was used for emergency use.
Many well-known people appeared in the hot pot restaurant.
An Wenzhi also came.
He sat in the hall, watching Jiang Nianyin walking back and forth busily. Suddenly, a pair of red, frozen hands slammed on the table.
Seeing the person coming, he frowned.
"What's up?"
Xu Jiayun laughed in anger. She pointed at the two Xige people, especially the scantily clad woman, and demanded, "You're my consort, so why shouldn't I come to you?"
An Wenzhi said calmly, "If I remember correctly, you should have become a princess, so there's no need for a consort."
Xu Jiayun felt the strange looks from all around. She held her breath and sat next to the Xige woman. "Do you despise my identity?"
"I don't care." An Wenzhi didn't care at all. "Please don't interfere with my work here."
Xu Jiayun pointed at Anmi's exposed waist. She was wearing such a sexy outfit, and she wasn't afraid of freezing to death! She gritted her teeth and said, "I think you want to sleep with her, right? Don't use official business as an excuse. I heard that if you ask the emperor for a divorce, your parents won't agree."
An Wenzhi asked back: "It's okay, if you have nothing to do, they will agree. If you interfere with my official duties again, don't blame me for reporting to the emperor that you are hindering the friendship between the two countries."
"You!" Xu Jiayun slammed her sleeves and sat at the table next to her. She watched the three people chatting and laughing, and stared at the smiling woman fiercely. "Someone, come here, I want to order some food."
The waiter brought the menu.
"Sir, what dishes would you like?"
Xu Jiayun said, "Go and call her to serve me."
The waiter hesitated for a few seconds, but seeing that her clothes and hair accessories were extraordinary, he could only turn around and explain the situation to Miss Jiang. Jiang Nianyin came over with the menu, and when she saw that it was Xu Jiayun, the smile on her lips stiffened a little.
“Here’s the menu.”
Xu Jiayun asked sarcastically, "Is that your attitude? Pour me some water."
Jiang Nianyin poured water for her, but she thought it was too hot and threw the cup to the ground. She poured another cup, but she thought it was too cold and threw it to the ground too.
The noises came one after another.
An Wenzhi could no longer bear it: "Enough! You're both too hot and too cold. I don't think you're very thirsty, so why don't you drink? They're opening a new store, and you're still causing trouble? Send your princess back!"
The maid lowered her head and moved her feet, but was glared back at by the princess.
Xu Jiayun poked the man's shoulder with his finger and said angrily, "Are you feeling sorry for her? Then why don't you marry her? Are you going to make her a concubine?"
"That's enough!" An Wenzhi pushed him away. "You are simply unreasonable."
Xu Jiayun lost his mind, grabbed the teapot, and threw it at Jiang Nianyin, but was stopped by An Wenzhi, "You two dogs!"
Jiang Nianyin took a deep breath.
She said, "Princess, we are a small business and cannot afford your trouble. Please dine elsewhere. In addition, you need to pay a hundred coins in compensation."
Xu Jiayun sneered, "You're kicking me out and asking me for money? Do you have any shame?"
"You deliberately caused trouble, smashed the tableware in the store, seriously affected the business, and even insulted me. Even if you are a princess, you can't do this." Jiang Nianyin gathered her sleeves hidden in her cuffs.
On the side, the surprise in An Wenzhi's eyes could not dissipate for a long time, and then turned into heartache. What on earth did Nian Yin go through to become so calm?
He felt distressed, but also happy for her.
"Everyone who was present can testify to this."
The diners nodded silently. The hot pot was delicious, and they were willing to testify for the sake of delicious food.
Xu Jiayun asked in confusion, "An Wenzhi, what good will it do you if I go to jail? Will you live with this woman?"
An Wenzhi said, "I am an official. I must be fair. Pay the money and apologize, and I will not report it to the emperor."
Xu Jiayun took out a tael of silver, slammed it on the table, snorted at the two of them, and said harshly, "If you don't go home tonight, I will go to the Jiang family and make trouble."
Finally, he hit Jiang Nianyin's shoulder hard.
"Just wait for me."
The two people from Xige drank tea and watched a play. René said in a lame voice: "This is what it means: you love me, I love her, and she loves him, but he and her can't be together?"
Anmi rolled her eyes in disgust.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
