Chapter 854: Not Yet Cleared



Seeing Yinzhen turning around to leave, Jiang Ranli thought for a moment and called out to him, "Fourth Master."

Hearing her voice, Yinzhen paused, and from an angle that no one could see, his eyes, which were always indifferent and clear, trembled slightly.

Turning around, Yinzhen looked at Jiang Ranli, "What's the matter?"

"Master, didn't you say you had something important to attend to? Let's go back quickly." Nian didn't want to see Jiang Ranli and Yinzhen talking, so she quickly put aside her anger and tenderly wanted Yinzhen to leave.

"Fourth Master, the Empress Dowager has ordered you to investigate the poisoning of young Prince Hongli. I wonder how your investigation is going?" Jiang Ranli really couldn't stand being treated as a poisoner every day, so he called Yinzhen to ask about the progress of his investigation. As for Nian's words urging Yinzhen to leave, Jiang Ranli simply ignored her.

Yinzhen frowned slightly and lowered his eyes to look at Nian who was holding the corner of his clothes.

Seeing the displeasure in Yinzhen's eyes, Nian's heart stagnated and she quickly let go of her hand. She had been married to Prince Yong's mansion for several years and knew Yinzhen's temperament very well. She knew that if she still did not know how to advance or retreat when he was unhappy, the consequences would be very serious.

It was not until Nian released her hand that Yinzhen answered Jiang Ranli, "I have been busy with many affairs recently, and the matter of Hongli's poisoning has not been fully investigated."

Not checked yet?

Hearing these four words, Jiang Ranli's heart was a little broken. It felt like she was being pointed at and restricted every day. She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. No one had even bothered to investigate this matter. Was Hongli really his biological son? His biological son was poisoned, and he could still remain calm.

"I wonder when the Fourth Master will take action to deal with this matter?" Jiang Ranli tried hard to restrain the little flame in her heart and asked Xiang Yinzhen.

"Soon", two extremely short and ambiguous words.

Looking at Yinzhen's always indifferent and distant expression, Jiang Ranli felt a little crazy. Did he know how much impact this incident had on her and Hongli?

If he didn't investigate the matter, she would always be misunderstood and looked down upon, and Hongli's situation would be very dangerous, because he was poisoned, but his father didn't seem to care at all, and had dragged on for so long without investigating the murderer. In such a situation, Hongli was very likely to get into trouble again.

Jiang Ranli raised his eyes, no longer trying to hide the anger and anxiety in them, "Fourth Master, can you please act faster? Can you clear my name as soon as possible? Can you please think about Hongli? If you keep dragging it on like this, not only will I be looked down upon, but Hongli's situation will become very dangerous."

Nian was always unhappy. When she heard Jiang Ranli say this, she immediately said, "The Fourth Master has official business to attend to. You are urging him so hard. You don't take the matters entrusted by the Emperor seriously. You don't take the millions of people of the Qing Dynasty seriously. Moreover, you are a woman, and you dare to speak to the prince like this. It is a crime of insubordination."

Jiang Ranli frowned upon hearing this. Could Nian please not interrupt at this time?

Yin'er also frowned. It was wrong for Yinzhen to drag his feet and not investigate clearly. Even if he was busy and had no time to investigate Hongli's poisoning, he should have spoken up himself. When was it Nian's turn to interrupt?

"I wonder when Fourth Brother will need the concubine in the mansion to come out and speak," Yinzhen said, his cold eyes sweeping over Nian.
