Chapter 273 This is my plan
Jiang Wan Ning smiled at the Grand Princess, her eyes seeming to say, 'This is my scheme, what can you do about it?'
Princess Ping'an couldn't listen to anything about Young Master Xuan. At this moment, she stared intently at Jiang Wan Ning, hoping to hear more about Young Master Xuan from her.
Jiang Wan Ning also 'kindly' informed, "The princess may not know yet, but that Young Master Xuan is actually a woman."
"It's Song Zhuran, the youngest daughter of the Song family."
"What did you say?" Ping An looked shocked and incredulous. "How could Young Master Xuan be a woman?"
"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense!"
"Believe it or not," Jiang Wanning said calmly.
"I will not let you get away with this!" The Grand Princess flung her wide sleeves and pulled the stunned Ping An into the carriage.
......
Jiang Wan Ning returned to the Marquis's residence. Zhou Shi leaned weakly against the bedside, and Jiang Zheng stayed by her side.
"Dad, where's my brother?" Jiang Wanning asked.
"You should be playing outside."
Jiang Wan Ning...
Jiang Zhengcai came to his senses and said, "It should be the wet nurse who brought it. I haven't seen it yet."
"Ningning, is that your mother?" Jiang Zheng asked anxiously.
Jiang Wan Ning said, "Dad, don't worry, I'll make sure nothing happens to Mom."
Although Jiang Wan Ning comforted Jiang Zheng, she was also very anxious. There were only two days left. With one leaf missing, the Nine-Leaf Resurrection Grass could only revive one's blood and qi, and the effect wouldn't last long.
"You've chosen a name for your younger brother."
“Jiang Shi’an,” Jiang Zheng said, “the music of peace and joy in a well-governed world, your mother obtained it.”
Her nickname is An'an.
Jiang Wan Ning nodded, "I'll go check on An An first."
Jiang Zheng nodded, completely bewildered.
Jiang Wan Ning left Zhou Shi's room and came to the courtyard. Hai Tang stepped forward and reported, "Your Highness, news came from Mo Ran that the family that originally lived in the Nine Leaf Resurrection Grassland moved away from Cangzhou just two days ago."
"According to the information we found, the daughter of that family got divorced and the whole family moved away, but no one knows exactly where they moved to."
"Most of their property was left to reliable servants to manage, but some rare medicinal herbs were all taken away. It is said that the family's daughter is also seriously ill."
"I suppose this Nine-Leaf Resurrection Grass should already be..." Haitang hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
Jiang Wan Ning frowned deeply. "Is there any news from Zhi Zhi?"
The Lingxiao Sect's strength in the martial arts world is not to be underestimated. What the imperial court cannot find, the people in the martial arts world may be able to find. Therefore, she had already sent a message to Shen Ruzhi, hoping that the leader of the Lingxiao Sect could help her.
"Miss Shen just replied to the letter. This Nine-Leaf Resurrection Grass is extremely rare. She asked her mother to do her best to find it, and the one she found is from the same family that the Prince found."
"But nobody knows where that family moved to, and..."
It goes without saying that Jiang Wan Ning understood that if the information they found was true, even if the Nine-Leaf Resurrection Grass still existed, the person's daughter was already seriously ill, so how could they possibly give it up so easily?
Furthermore, Jiang Wan Ning couldn't bring herself to take the lives of innocent people just to save the lives of her own family.
"However, Miss Shen said she will do everything in her power to find it, so you can rest assured."
......
Song Mansion.
Song Zhuran sat on the edge of the covered walkway, her chin resting on her hands, staring blankly at the two koi in the lake.
A tall, thin man stood to the side and said respectfully, "Miss."
“This time we did a good job,” Song Zhuran said. “We found that family before Pei Yanchuan and Jiang Wanning and dealt with everything.”
"That Nine-Leaf Resurrection Grass?"
“Just destroy it.” Song Zhuran suddenly raised her head. “This herb is so rare, Master will definitely like it. Let’s keep it and give it to Master as a gift for his next birthday.”
"When the young lady went to steal the Nine-Leaf Resurrection Grass, she must have left something behind at the scene. Princess Ping'an didn't notice anything amiss at first."
"But today, Jiang Wan Ning actually said in public that you are Young Master Xuan, and she seemed very confident. I followed her all the way to the Grand Princess's residence. Princess Ping An was holding the pendant you dropped, and it seems that she has already realized it."
Song Zhuran touched her waist and suddenly remembered that she was wearing the same pendant when she had a conflict with Princess Ping'an at the teahouse that day.
The pendant was a gift from her master, so she often wore it.
"I didn't expect that idiot would actually pay attention to this."
"What do we do now?" The man made a throat-slitting gesture. "Should I...?"
Song Zhuran tilted her head and looked at the two koi fish entwined together. "No need. She won't live much longer anyway. Jiang Wanning won't let her go."
"However, this Jiang Wan Ning is really hard to kill. I have been following my master since I was seven years old, hiding in the shadows and manipulating these self-proclaimed clever people."
"Such a person has suddenly appeared." Song Zhuran seemed to be muttering to herself, "It hasn't been long, and they've already figured out my identity."
"It seems that my older sister is starting to believe in Jiang Wanning too."
Song Zhuran suddenly remembered that day at the teahouse, which seemed to be a setup by Jiang Wanning and her older sister. Now that she thought about it, her behavior that day was indeed different from usual.
“I originally had nothing to do with her. I thought she was just as stupid as Jiang Wanru, and that she would be taken down by a little Pei Anqing.”
"Who knew she was so intelligent? I really underestimated her back then."
“Since she insists on getting involved, then don’t blame me for being impolite,” Song Zhuran said. “Since she has such a good relationship with my good sister, and her mother is sick, then my good sister has no choice but to go and see her.”
“It seems I’ll have to go to the Jiang residence tomorrow,” Song Zhuran said. “Go and have someone make a coffin, no, two.”
"The Grand Princess's residence should also send one."
"yes."
After giving her instructions, Song Zhuran entered the palace. The Song family wanted Song Zhuran to enter the palace, so whenever she wanted to enter the palace, the Song family would agree and find a way to send a message to the Empress to summon her to the palace.
The next day.
Song Zhuran accompanied Song Zhuyi to the Jiang residence as she had wished.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress." Jiang Wan Ning came out to greet her, and Song Zhu Yi smiled, "Princess Langya, there's no need for such formalities."
"I came to visit Lady Jiang after hearing that she had given birth to a son."
Song Zhuyi didn't want to come, but she knew that if she didn't come, Song Zhuran would naturally have other ways to deal with Jiang Wanning.
Song Zhuran's decision to enter the palace overnight to have her accompany her to the Jiang residence must have been driven by ulterior motives.
"Sister Jiang, I heard you have a little brother? I'd like to see him too." Song Zhuran smiled sweetly, like a lotus flower untouched by the world's grime. Pure and innocent.
No one could have imagined that such a person could be so vicious. Song Zhuyi even began to fear her own sister.
