"Hahahaha, great news!"
As soon as he left the court, Qin Chuan went straight to the Qin Mansion.
"Father, what's the good news?"
Qin Ji stepped forward and saw his father's happy face. He thought that Jiang Li's case had been concluded.
"Is it Jiang Li who was——"
Qin Ji scratched his neck and thought that their plan was successful.
Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "Something has changed. Go and get your second uncle and the others."
Qin Mansion Study.
"Brother, do you mean that we should take the opportunity to persuade Jiang Li to rebel?" Qin Er was a little puzzled. Now was a good opportunity to kill that damn girl Jiang Li in one fell swoop, so why did they have to change the plan at the last minute?
Qin Chuan took a sip of tea before saying, "I've thought about it carefully. Even if we go and make some false evidence to prove that Jiang Li is the murderer, the result will be nothing more than executing Jiang Li."
"But think about it, the death of a girl only saved us some trouble. After all, she's dead, so when Jiang Yao comes back he won't pursue the matter of breaking off the engagement. However," Qin Chuan changed the subject, "now that girl Jiang Li is actually trying to divorce Prince Jingling. Do you know what this means?"
Qin Er and Qin San both shook their heads.
Qin Ji frowned and thought, "Father, do you mean that now is a good time for us to turn Jiang Li against you?"
"That's right!" Qin Chuan chuckled, looking confident of victory. "If we tell Jiang Li now that as long as she's willing to reconcile with us and cooperate with us in the future, then we'll help her settle both the murder case and the rumors about her life!"
"But, can Jiang Li trust us?" Qin Er felt that this was inappropriate.
"Why not just bring the secret guard who poisoned her?" Qin Chuan added, "Besides, she doesn't know her own background. I think she must be worried about whether she is really the child of a prostitute!"
"Also, don't forget, Jiang Sheng is already on board. Naturally, he'll say whatever we tell him to say. If Jiang Li dares to turn against us in the future, we'll have him declare publicly that he was bribed by Jiang Li to tell lies!"
Seeing that Qin Er and Qin San were still confused, Qin Chuan reminded them, "If Jiang Li is willing to cooperate with us, the General's Mansion will have to stand on our side in the future! Isn't this more valuable than killing Jiang Li!"
"That's right." Qin Er thought about it carefully before nodding. "In my opinion, we should let Qin An go. He's an elder in the Qin Mansion and the housekeeper. His skills are as good as yours and mine. He was the one who originally proposed the engagement. He's the most suitable person to go, and Jiang Li will believe him."
"Father is wise!" The more Qin Ji thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible.
Apart from the relationship with the General's Mansion, Qin Ji actually felt a little sorry that Jiang Li was executed.
He also thought that after the third prince came to the throne and Prince Jingling died, he would let Jiang Li be his mistress, or change her title and make her his concubine.

"Your Highness, the princess said she was too tired today and has already rested."
In the backyard of the palace, Gu Qingchen was holding a box of cakes and was stopped outside the door by Bai Zhi with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Hasn't the princess been staying in the palace the whole time? How come she's so tired? And she's resting so early?"
Gu Qingchen's face was not very good, and he just said, "Get out of the way!"
Bai Zhi didn't retreat a single step, "Your Majesty, the princess said she was tired..."
No matter how hard she tried to prepare herself mentally, Bai Zhi still felt like she was almost suffocating when facing the prince. If she had known earlier, she should have asked the princess for a couple more tranquility pills.
"Ari——"
Gu Qingchen changed his tone and called out in a gentle voice, "I brought you your favorite cakes. Do you want to get up and eat some?"
For a long while, there was no sound from inside.
"Ari——"
"Stop yelling! I already told you I'm tired and don't want to eat!"
The woman's angry voice was heard, and Bai Zhi held her breath in fear.
"Alright, Ah Li, I've already gone to the palace and spoken to my brother today. He said that once Lord Bai finds out the truth, he'll immediately lift your house arrest! Then, can I go out for a walk with you? We can go wherever you want!"
“No, no, no, no!”
"Bang!" There was a sound of something being smashed inside, and a woman's angry roar filled with resentment. "In the end, you still don't trust me! You've been investigating for so long and there's still no results. If there's still no results, are you going to lock me up in the palace until I die?"
"Pfft! How can you talk like that!" Gu Qingchen said with a fawning look on his face, "Okay, A-Li, don't be angry, be good! Open the door quickly, or the cakes will get cold!"
"No! No! Go away! You're still the God of War, but it's useless. I'm so unlucky to marry you. I think we should get divorced as soon as possible, otherwise I'll die sooner or later!"
"Bang!" Gu Qingchen smashed the cake box to the ground. "You really don't know what's good for you!"
"If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. Never eat it again! Don't leave this yard again until the truth is revealed!"
After saying that, Gu Qingchen turned and left.
However, as he walked out of the yard, he could still hear a voice behind him, "If you don't want to come out, then don't come out! Humph, just wait, I will definitely divorce you!!!"
…
Only when all the sound inside had died down did Qin An stick his head out to look into the yard.
The maidservant beside Jiang Li slowly picked up the cake box on the ground, then gently knocked on the door, "Princess, I'll go and throw this thing away. Don't be sad. I'll get you some water to wash up later."
"You go too! Don't bother me if there's nothing to do!"
"yes……"
Bai Zhi bowed to the door and then left, looking back every few steps.
