His hands, clenched tightly in his sleeves, forced a submissive expression.
"Father's words are true. I will go to school now and will never let you down again."
"Um."
Jiang Chongfan responded softly, then picked up his teacup again and took a sip.
Jiang Chongfan sighed after Jiang Qingshan left.
"Why!"
"What has Cheng'er been up to lately?"
The butler replied, "Young Master doesn't usually go out much. Apart from occasionally going out with a few close friends, he spends most of his time reading in his room."
Thinking of his exceptionally intelligent grandson, Jiang Chongfan's expression finally improved considerably.
On the other side...
Upon learning that Gu Jingchun had been assassinated on his way back, Shen Hechuan immediately stood up and personally interrogated the survivor.
One hour later.
Shen Hechuan emerged from the dungeon, covered in blood, and returned to Wanhe Palace.
The young palace maids were so frightened that they trembled all the way.
Meanwhile, inside the Wanhe Hall...
Luo Ziqian was waiting there, and when he saw Shen Hechuan's appearance, he immediately raised an eyebrow.
What's wrong with you?
"Aren't you the one who hates it the most? The other person's blood stained your clothes, so why are you so angry now? You don't even care about that?"
Shen Hechuan carefully washed the blood off his hands before whispering, "He wanted to kill Gu Jingchun!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Ziqian also raised his head.
"Who is it? I'll go teach him a lesson."
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan glanced at him indifferently, his face containing a warning.
Luo Ziqian quickly explained;
"What kind of look is that? I'm just going to avenge Jingchun, I didn't mean anything else."
"What, just because she's your woman now, does that mean I can't avenge her?"
"Although you two are a couple now, she is also like a friend, an older sister, and a family member to me."
"You don't need to glare at me. If I hadn't stopped you, my mother would have been thinking of adopting Jingchun as her goddaughter!"
As they spoke, Shen Hechuan had already changed into a clean set of clothes.
Upon hearing this, he casually replied, "I agree!"
Luo Ziqian didn't hear him clearly at first, and asked, "What did you say?"
“I said I support your parents in recognizing her as their goddaughter.”
Luo Ziqian paused for a moment before speaking.
"Shen Hechuan, what do you mean? I'm with your sister now, and you're still so wary of me. Do you think I'm such a fickle person?"
Shen Hechuan's eyes, however, were more serious than ever before.
"It's because you're with my sister now that I have to be wary of you."
"Rongyang is simple-minded and cannot tolerate any deception."
Upon hearing this, Luo Ziqian paused for a moment before speaking.
"Fine, fine, whatever you say. This is so annoying. You called me here just for this?"
Shen Hechuan sat down before continuing:
"I want you to investigate what kind of sect the Guiyuan Sect is."
"Guiyuan Sect?"
Luo Ziqian frowned.
"I've never heard of this name before."
"what for?"
Shen Hechuan: "I don't know."
"I suspect these people might be connected to Jing Chun."
"Perhaps finding these people will help us uncover the mystery of Jingchun's background."
These words left Luo Ziqian somewhat confused.
He frowned, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "I don't understand what you're saying."
Shen Hechuan: "You don't need to understand, so hurry up and get to work."

Meanwhile, on the other side...
Guan Zhixin also learned of this news.
He suddenly stepped forward, and the wheelchair wheel ended up running over Mao Zixiao's fingers.
He gasped in pain, wanting to push Guan Zhixin away, but dared not, and could only endure the pain and cry out, "Master, Master..."
Guan Zhixin glanced down, then took a step back and asked again, "Is the young master injured?"
Mao Zixiao shook his head.
"No!"
"The other party was just a petty thief from who-knows-where. With such meager skills, the young master didn't even need to lift a finger before being caught."
However, they claimed that we sent people to kill her.
"That's why they're investigating us now."
Guan Zhixin snorted coldly.
"It must have been done by that old scoundrel Jiang Chongfan!"
That old bastard who crossed the river and then burned the bridge dared to hurt our young master and then frame us.
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have spared his life!
"Back then, our Guiyuan Sect secretly put in a lot of effort to get him back to Tiandu, but we never expected that he would try to get rid of us as soon as he got back. It's like he's dreaming!"
As Guan Zhixin spoke, he made up his mind.
"In that case, he shouldn't blame me for being impolite."
"That old guy has lived for so long, it's time for him to die."
Upon hearing this, Mao Zixiao, who had been kneeling on the ground, immediately spoke up.
“Master, Jiang Chongfan is not dead now. If we want to achieve something in the future, we will need him to mediate.”
After all, the Jiang family are the only ministers in the court who still have any real influence.
Upon hearing this, Guan Zhixin let out a cold snort and clenched his fist tightly.
"Since we can't kill him, we might as well just kill his son and give him a warning."
"It will be soon. We can deal with the Jiang family after we've settled things here."
On the other side.
After returning to his residence, Gu Jingchun continued to inquire about the Guiyuan Sect.
