Jiang Li stood in the warehouse, staring at the wealth in his hand in a daze.
She never imagined that Gu Qingchen had accumulated so much wealth and handed it over to her just like that.
How can there be such a stupid person?
"Princess, Prince Zhuang's carriage has arrived outside the mansion."
A servant came hurriedly to report.
Jiang Li closed the brocade box again and put it back in its place. He looked at the steward and said, "I know the general idea now. Let's take care of these things as before."
Being the head of the household is never an easy job.
Just like Jiang Li, she never understood why so many people were fighting for the power to manage the family. It must be so tiring.
It would be a happy thing if you could be a hands-off boss.
"Yes, Princess."
All of Jiang Li's reactions were seen by the steward, who could only sigh inwardly, realizing that his princess was indeed different from ordinary women.
However, the more the master trusts them, the more he will have to lead his men and work harder to take care of everything in the palace.
"Princess, what about Prince Zhuang?"
The servants waiting on the side looked at Jiang Li with some confusion, not knowing what to do.
"Just say that I was frightened yesterday and fell ill after returning home. If there is anything, please wait until the prince returns."
So what if he is a prince? How can he be a good person if he teaches someone like Princess Jingyi?
Jiang Li waved towards Mo Qi and said, "Help me check Prince Zhuang."
Only by knowing both yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Recalling what Gu Qingchen said, that Princess Jingyi dragged the Third Prince into the water under the pressure of Prince Zhuang, Jiang Li felt that this man was something.
If he was really as timid as the rumors said, then why did he dare to involve the emperor's son in this matter?
The more I think about it, the stranger it gets.
Jiang Li took the heater handed to her by Bai Zhi and said, "Let's go to the study."

"In reply to Prince Zhuang, our princess is unwell and cannot get up. I hope Prince Zhuang will forgive me."
The servant returned to the mansion gate and respectfully answered the carriage.
Having said this, he glanced at the silent carriage and continued, "If Prince Zhuang has something urgent to do, please wait a moment. I will ask someone to inform our prince..."
"No need."
A man's deep voice came from the carriage.
"Since Princess Jingling is unwell, I will visit you again tomorrow."
After saying that, the carriage started again and soon left the Jingling Palace.
"Your Majesty, what do you think Princess Jingling means?"
Prince Zhuang's attendant Wang Er asked as he poured tea.
After they returned from the palace yesterday, Prince Zhuang specially sent someone to deliver a visiting card to Prince Jingling's Mansion. At that time, the servants of Prince Jingling's Mansion said that Princess Jingling had gone out and had not returned.
Feeling unwell? Who would believe that?
The man's expression was expressionless, he just closed his eyes, as if he was cultivating his body and mind.
After a while, he smiled and said, "Just take Qiao."
"Jingyi has completely fallen into her hands this time. However, since it involves the royal family, the emperor has decided to suppress this matter, and she is naturally unwilling to accept it."
"Now, I am here to apologize on the orders of the Emperor. It seems she wants to embarrass me and vent her pent-up anger."
"What?" Wang Er frowned immediately. "How dare she disrespect you, Your Highness, like this? How audacious!"
The carriage passed through the busy street and the curtain was lifted. The first thing Prince Zhuang saw was the long queue outside the herbal medicine shop.
The man lowered the curtain, picked up the teacup in front of him, and said slowly, "Still, you are too young. If you want to destroy someone, you must first drive them crazy."
"You, after following me for such a long time, don't even understand this."
Wang Er quickly half-knelt on the ground and gently tapped the man's legs: "Your Highness is teaching me that I am too foolish."
Prince Jingling's Palace.
"Bang!"
The study door was suddenly pushed open, and Jiang Li was startled.
Gu Qingchen's face was slightly gloomy, and it was obvious that he had encountered something bad.
Seeing that Jiang Li was also staying in the study, the man's cold aura instantly subsided.
"What's wrong?"
Putting down the medical book in his hand, Jiang Li took the hot tea from Bai Zhi's hand and motioned her to go down first.
Then, he walked towards the man.
Gu Qingchen's gaze fell on Jiang Li's face, and after a while he whispered, "I don't know what's going on with that Wu Youjin. The Lingxiao Army and Moyun Pavilion have been investigating it openly and secretly, but there's not even a trace of news."
It has been quite some time since they returned to the capital. They knew that there was such a dangerous person hiding in the capital, and their men had been digging deep into the ground these days, but they found nothing.
Jiang Li handed the hot tea to Gu Qingchen. "Back then, he committed such a serious crime and was able to escape the pursuit of the royal family. Now so much time has passed, and he also set up such a big plan in Mihe before. I think his strength in all aspects has far exceeded that of the past."
"In all aspects?"
Gu Qingchen glanced at Jiang Li deeply. "A-Li is saying that in addition to researching various poison techniques and making dirty money over the years, he also..."
"It also built up a lot of relationships."
Jiang Li took a piece of paper and placed it in front of Gu Qingchen, then wrote the word "乌" in the middle with a brush.
"You see, the Wuxiang Sect originated in the Mihe area, and there he has a place that makes a fortune every day. Logically speaking, it would be the safest thing for him to hide in the Mihe area."
"But why did he choose the capital as his home? If it were any other prisoner, after finally escaping, they would naturally want to get as far away from the capital as possible. Why would he return to the capital and seek his own death?"
"The capital has what he wants." Gu Qingchen seemed to have an idea.
Jiang Li nodded, "And it's something I absolutely must have."
