Prince Xin gave the room to Jiang Bai and Lady Song.
There were no servants left in the courtyard to begin with, and once he left, the entire courtyard fell silent.
Jiang Bai stood still, listening intently.
Only after confirming that he had left did her true expression appear on her face.
His anger was tinged with murderous intent.
After adjusting herself for a long time, she walked to Song's bedside, squatted down next to the bed, and took her hand out from under the quilt.
In her memory, Jiang Anliang was always reluctant to let Song Shi do any work.
So even though she was a village woman, her hands were fair and slender, and each finger was well-maintained and beautiful.
Now, only six months later, her hands have changed.
There are some unnatural protrusions on the knuckles, as if they were pinched off by something and then healed.
So her hands looked somewhat ugly.
Her face also looked somewhat aged. I hadn't noticed it before, but now I realized that there were some gray hairs mixed in with her hair.
She was only in her thirties, but she looked like she was in her forties.
She shouldn't have had much affection for Song, but for some reason, seeing her like this now, she felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
"Mother."
She couldn't help but open her mouth and press her forehead against the back of Song's hand.
Unaware that Song's eyelids twitched as she looked down, Song's eyes on the bed trembled.
"Mother, don't be afraid, I will take you away soon."
“I don’t believe a single word the Crown Prince says.” She whispered in Song’s ear, her voice extremely low.
On the other side, after Crown Prince Shin left the courtyard, his expression turned cold.
He turned around and glanced at the courtyard behind him, then raised his hand to beckon someone over.
"Go and see if the legendary doctor Ji and his nephew are still there."
The messenger acknowledged the order and withdrew.
Crown Prince Shin returned to his study and summoned his advisors.
"Your Highness, do you think Jiang Bai will believe what you say?"
One of the aides spoke up, his eyes filled with worry.
"The idea of someone dying and being reborn is just too rare."
“Others may not believe it, but she will definitely believe it.” The Crown Prince’s eyes were dark.
Because the story he told was true.
If he hadn't appeared, the real Prince Xin, the real Jiang Bai, would have woken up in this body.
The advisors exchanged glances, puzzled as to why their young master was so confident.
"How can you be so sure that Jiang Bai knows about the Princess's mausoleum?"
Another aide spoke up.
They originally intended to start with Lady Song, but the Crown Prince said that Lady Song knew nothing, and that her daughter Jiang Bai was more likely to know about the Princess's mausoleum.
That's why the news about the Song family was released.
It took two months of waiting to confirm that Doctor Ji was very likely one of Jiang Bai's men.
"The Third Prince was ambushed by Wang Shaoyang and seriously injured before escaping into Mangshan."
"Later, the fake third prince rebelled, and the real third prince suddenly appeared to expose the fake third prince's conspiracy, and was even awarded the title of Prince An for it."
"Although the fiefdom was the impoverished Luzhou, it was at least free from the control of the capital."
"After the Third Prince returned to Luzhou, he used the excuse that Luzhou had suffered a disaster and needed to be rebuilt to recruit soldiers extensively."
"According to reports from spies, the swords used in these newly established armies are of far superior quality to those currently used in the army."
“If the Third Prince had these things all along, it’s impossible that we haven’t discovered them all these years.”
"So, he acquired these weapons recently."
"Before this, he was rescued by Jiang Bai."
Before the Crown Prince could speak, another aide recounted the information he had gathered.
The others frowned. Based on this alone, it was impossible to prove that Jiang Bai knew about the Princess's mausoleum.
The Crown Prince of Xin gave another man a wink, and that man then spoke up: "Have you all forgotten how Jiang Bai appeared in the capital?"
The others were taken aback.
"Is it because of the news we spread?"
"Jiang Bai is just a country woman, how could she know that Song is in our Prince Xin's mansion?"
"Therefore, she not only knows the location of the Princess's tomb, but may even have control over the Black-Clad Guards left behind by the Princess."
Upon hearing the words "Black-Clad Guards," all the staff members couldn't help but frown.
Someone transcribed the information they found onto a piece of paper and handed it to others.
The text describes Jiang Bai setting up a sweater factory in Jiangjia Village, as well as some greenhouse-related matters.
There was also news that she had bought an entire mountain in Pingshan.
"If she hadn't found the tomb of the eldest princess, how could she have bought such a large mountain?"
"How can we possibly run a sweater factory?"
The staff looked on in shock at what Jiang Bai had been doing these past few days.
Everyone knows that wool can be spun into yarn, but wool is difficult to process and has a strange smell. Once spun into yarn, no one wants to wear the clothes made from it.
If you can't make money, naturally no one will do it.
I never expected Jiang Bai to find another way and come up with something like a sweater.
"If that's the case, why doesn't Your Highness detain Jiang Bai and force her to hand over the location of the Princess's mausoleum?"
"Take another look at this, everyone."
At this moment, the aide who provided the information handed out another stack of messages to everyone to read. After reading them, everyone fell silent.
After a long while, the Crown Prince of Xin finally spoke, "Does everyone know now?"
"Don't underestimate Jiang Bai just because she's an ordinary village woman. Her martial arts skills have reached a state of perfection. Ordinary people are no match for her."
"Let alone forcing her to hand over the location of the Princess's mausoleum, it's impossible to even keep her alive."
