After such an incident, the tea-tasting banquet naturally could not continue, but Zhou Ning'an still gave a lot of rewards to the lady who collected the most business cards as originally agreed.
Qiu Yanshuang, her maid, Aruo and the two men were all sent to the Ministry of Justice.
As the original victim, Jiang Ling also went with him.
She remembered that she hadn't gained anything from the last incident at the Jingzhao government office, so she couldn't help but ask, "Is it the same as last time when we sent it to the Ministry of Justice?"
Zhou Jing'an shook his head: "Don't worry, Miss Jiang."
The Ministry of Justice has now been completely purged and is entirely run by the Emperor.
Jiang Ling nodded and stopped talking.
She explained everything she had seen and how she had acted, and the rest was no longer her concern.
She believed that Zhou Jing'an would definitely not miss this opportunity and would conduct a thorough investigation.
She didn't say goodbye to Zhou Jing'an when she left. After all, she was the heartless hero who threw all her love letters into the river.
Besides, she had other things to do and had no time to chat with him.
Zizhen was still frightened after this experience, so she advised Jiang Ling to go back home quickly.
"Let's not go back home yet." Jiang Ling shook her head, "Go find cousin Xiao Fei."
She had to ruin Jiang Fei's marriage and not let her marry into Yue's family.
Fortunately, a woman's marriage is a big deal. Not to mention the dating stage, there is the preparation of three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts. The dowry and gifts must be carefully checked over and over again. In addition, the marriage contract must be made first, and it will take some time before the marriage can be officially concluded.
So she still has time to stop this marriage. She will go and test the waters today to see how far it has progressed.

Jiang Fei looked at her with a smile on her face, "Ling'er, is there something you want to ask?"
"Why, can't you come and chat with your cousin if you have nothing to do?" Jiang Ling took her arm and said coquettishly, "My cousin is so busy that she doesn't even think of playing with Ling'er."
Jiang Fei also smiled helplessly, "Mother is keeping me under strict supervision. I can't leave the house easily now."
She led Jiang Ling into the inner room and pointed to a table full of needlework and brocade. Her face was bitter, "I'm getting bored doing this needlework all day long."
"This is too much. Do you want to finish embroidering all these cousins?"
Jiang Ling widened her eyes, thinking that she should never be allowed to do these things in the future.
Her clumsy hands can't do it.
Jiang Fei nodded, with a rather hopeless look on her face. "Yeah, so Ling'er, don't blame me for not coming to look for you. I'm simply too busy to get away."
"Auntie is so strict. My cousin's needlework is already pretty good, yet she still needs to practice like this."
Jiang Ling changed the subject lightly and whispered, "But has your cousin found someone? Are you ready to settle down?"
She deliberately sent Zizhen and the others outside, so it would be easier to talk now that it was just the two of them.
When Jiang Fei heard this, her face started to turn red. She turned away and said shyly, "Ling'er, don't say that..."
She lowered her eyes and looked around for a few times before she murmured softly, "My mother told me the other day that my Yue family will come to propose marriage in a few days. I think it will be settled soon."
Jiang Ling looked at her like a young girl in love and sighed inwardly.
She must be pulled back from the wrong path!
She tried hard to put on a smile and jokingly said, "The Yue family, that should be Yue Weiqing. Have you seen him, cousin? What does he look like?"
Jiang Fei blushed, pinched her handkerchief, and whispered softly: "I only saw her from a distance. She was tall and thin. I didn't take a close look at her appearance."
Oh? You really didn't look closely?
Then you look shy.
Jiang Ling smiled and said, "Does cousin know him well? Auntie can't force someone you don't like on you."
"I don't know much about it. I only know that he passed the imperial examination this time. I don't know anything else." Jiang Fei said to her, "Mother asked me what I thought."
As she spoke, her face began to blush again. "I secretly asked someone to find out. He's a man of good character and has achieved great success. So... I'll just let my parents decide."
Good character?
None of these four words has anything to do with Yue Weiqing.
It seems that this guy is hiding very deeply.
However, Liang Wan allowed Jiang Fei to inquire on her own and asked for her opinion, which showed that she respected her children's wishes. She would not watch her jump into the fire pit knowing that there were wolves and tigers ahead.
Jiang Ling thought to himself, that's easy.
Wouldn't it be enough to let Jiang Lianhai and Liang Wan know Yue Weiqing's true identity?
"It seems that my cousin really likes Master Yue. Ling'er can't wait to have a drink at my cousin and her husband's wedding." Jiang Ling continued to tease her and asked, "Did Aunt tell me when the Yue family will come to propose marriage?"
Jiang Fei shook her head, "I just said it will be soon."
Okay, then she will do it as soon as possible.
After getting the information, Jiang Ling chatted with her for a while and then left.
She made some secret plans and called Xiao Bing to give him some instructions. He responded and disappeared from her sight in a moment.
At this moment, Fox Fox suddenly appeared. Jiang Ling saw it and gave it a slap on the face. She snorted, "Where have you been today? Did you know that Shen Qingru almost killed me?"
Hu Hu touched his furry head, ran over and hugged Jiang Ling's arm, crying and saying, "Host, the Lord God suddenly wanted to hold a meeting for all the systems today, that's why I didn't show up."
Jiang Ling hadn't really blamed it in the first place, but when she heard it say it was being dragged to a meeting, she couldn't help but laugh, "Does your system also need to hold a meeting?"
"Who knows? This is my first time being a system too." Hu Hu sat down next to her and said angrily, "Lord Lord God is so long-winded. He goes on and on about the same few words for hours!"
