Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, finally finishing her writing. She told Zizhen to keep it safe, then changed her clothes, washed up, and fell asleep on the bed.

The next day, she and Cheng An went to the Wu Mansion as agreed. The three of them sat down in Wu Wanying's boudoir and sent the others away.
"What? She was the one who hurt you?!" Cheng An slammed the table and stood up after hearing Jiang Ling's story of escaping death. Wu Wanying also raised her eyebrows in anger. Both of them looked indignant.
Jiang Ling comforted the two of them, saying that if they wanted to take revenge, they had to plan it carefully, and first they had to take off the hypocritical mask she showed to others.
"Do you have a plan?" Seeing Jiang Ling like this, Cheng An knew that she must have an idea.
Jiang Ling nodded, "Yes, but I need your cooperation."
The two immediately said it was no problem.

Two incidents happened in the capital these past two days, both related to the teahouse in the south of the city. It was said that some bad guys robbed money and almost injured the guests in the teahouse.
Qingfeng Teahouse is a very famous teahouse in Beijing. In addition to the delicious tea and snacks here, the interior decoration of the store is fresh and elegant. It is a place where scholars and ladies gather to chat.
So when this happened, the girls were terrified. The criminal hadn't been caught yet and was still at large. It was also said that the criminal didn't seem to be after money, but was just randomly smashing things to vent his anger. Several women were drinking tea and chatting in the teahouse at the time and were almost killed.
People in the capital were in a panic, especially women who dared not go out. They just hoped that the person would be arrested as soon as possible.

Bi Yue knelt and saluted, whispering, "Wu Wanying, Jiang Ling, and Cheng An have been going out together a lot these days, but their destinations are not fixed, and they haven't left the city. They also went to Qingfeng Teahouse the day before yesterday. They went there in the morning and escaped the robbery."
"Yesterday, the three of us didn't go out. However, when I went to the Jinxiangyu Jewelry Shop, I ran into Wu Wanying's maid coming to pick up the custom-made jewelry. I chatted with the shop owner for a while and she said that these were ordered by Miss Wu for Jiang Ling and Cheng An, and she would personally give them to them tomorrow."
Shen Qingru narrowed her eyes slightly, "Did you hear where we were going to meet?"
Bi Yue shook her head. "As soon as the maid saw me, she shut up, glared at me, and left."
Hearing this, Shen Qingru breathed a sigh of relief, thought to herself, and then smiled again.
Did you think that she wouldn't have a chance to take action if the group didn't leave the city?
What happened in the capital these days is not a good opportunity.
Kill with a borrowed knife.
The most labor-saving.
