However, during the more than one year in Prince Rong's mansion, Jiang Jinwan suffered a lot of torture and pain. Now, he was finally able to return to Ningguta, and he was full of hatred. So as soon as he left the capital, he hurried to write to Ningguta. He knew that the seven brothers had been executed long ago, but his sister-in-law survived, but things were different now. His sister-in-law was in jail for a year, and after she was released from prison, she had no way to make a living, and finally became a cheap prostitute. It was only after she got the news and money from Jiang Jinwan that she redeemed herself. Then, according to Jiang Jinwan's instructions, she rented a small courtyard on the outskirts of Chenjiatun and started a fur business. From time to time, she went in and out of Chenjiatun to buy furs from the hunters and monitor the Nanshan Villa.
Jiang Jinwan hated Pang Yi and Zhong Mingwei, didn't she hate them too? Her man died because of Pang Yi, and her good life was ruined because of Pang Yi. How could she not take revenge for such a deep hatred? But now Zhong Mingwei was the Prince of An, and he was no longer the commoner he used to be. Pang Yi's status had also risen. She wanted to take revenge, but it was impossible for her to even get close to him. But now it was different...
"Sister-in-law, are you saying that Pang Yi went to the capital with Prince An, but left his wife in Ningguta?" Under the dim oil lamp, Jiang Jinwan's face looked unusually dark and unpredictable. "That wife is still pregnant now?"
"Isn't it? I saw it clearly several times, that woman's belly was going in and out," said the eldest sister-in-law of the Jiang family while eating melon seeds, sneering, "Look at her body, she must be four or five months pregnant, right? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, she walked slowly and even held on to the wall, you can tell at a glance that she must be pregnant with a baby."
"Sister-in-law, how can you be sure that she is Pang Yi's wife?" Jiang Jinwan frowned and said, "Anyone who can live in Nanshan Villa should be the woman of Prince An. How can she be Pang Yi's wife?"
"You don't know this, right? Prince An treats Pang Yi like a close brother. As soon as he moved down from the mountainside, he eagerly helped Pang Yi buy a house and land and get married. Even after Pang Yi got married, he still lived in Nanshan Villa for most of his time. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, the young couple is very close to Prince An and his wife. Isn't Pang Yi going to go to Beijing with Prince An and his wife this time? Of course, he was worried about his pregnant woman living alone, so he let her live in Nanshan Villa." The eldest sister-in-law of the Jiang family said slowly, drinking a sip of tea, and suddenly seemed to remember something. She patted her thigh and said, "By the way, didn't you ask me to find out whether Mr. Chen and Prince An have any contact? Their two families have close contacts. Since Mr. Chen went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, Prince An and his wife took Mr. Chen's grandmother to live in Nanshan Villa. Now, the grandmother of the Chen family still takes care of Pang Yi's wife three meals a day! Do you think Mr. Chen and Prince An have little friendship?"
"Then Chen Qingxuan is indeed the man of Prince An," Jiang Jinwan nodded, took a sip of tea, and asked the eldest sister-in-law of the Jiang family, "What about Fang Zuotang? Does he usually have any contact with Prince An?"
"How should I know this? I've been in jail for so long, and how long have I been out? How dare I ask about the prefect and Prince An's affairs? Am I tired of living?" The eldest sister-in-law of the Jiang family waved her hands hurriedly.
"Then, sister-in-law, have you ever seen people from the prefectural government frequently entering and leaving the Nanshan Villa?" Jiang Jinwan asked again.
"No," the eldest sister-in-law of the Jiang family shook her head decisively, "Never. Apart from the grandmother of the Chen family and the two old men who went out from time to time to buy food and meat, I have never seen anyone enter or leave the Nanshan Villa, let alone anyone from the prefectural government office."
