He quickly retreated.
"Oh, right."
Jiang Qingshan took the last step, but was stopped by Jiang Chongfan.
"Take some men and go find the Guiyuan Sect."
He turned his head abruptly.
"Guiyuan Sect?"
"right!"
Jiang Chongfan spoke.
“They have hurt you so badly. This time, your father will personally force them out and avenge you.”
Upon hearing this, a flicker of emotion crossed Jiang Qingshan's eyes before he nodded firmly.
However, several more days passed, and Jiang Chongfan still couldn't find any trace of the Guiyuan Sect.
Taking advantage of Jiang Mingwan's death, Jiang Chongfan went to Shen Hechuan to cry and complain.
Shen Hechuan then gave him a few more days' grace.
In the past few days, the Jiang family announced that Jiang Mingwan had suddenly fallen ill and died unexpectedly. Only then did they give Jiang Mingwan a simple burial.
Situ Mingji was also full of surprise when he received the news.
When I went to pay my respects, I tried to ask a few questions, but I didn't get any useful information.
Therefore, she wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, pretended to be sad, and asked to go to the courtyard where Jiang Mingwan lived to take a look.
Previously, when Jiang Mingwan was still alive, Situ Mingji often came to visit her. Knowing that the two were good friends, Situ Mingji agreed to let Situ Mingji go to the courtyard where Jiang Mingwan lived.
Situ Mingji searched Jiang Mingwan's courtyard for a long time but found nothing strange. However, he was certain that there was something suspicious about Jiang Mingwan's death.
Just as she was about to leave after finding nothing, she suddenly heard a scream.
"Let me go! Why are you stopping me? I need to see my daughter one last time."
"You killed my daughter, and you won't even let me see her off on her final journey. You are so heartless!"
Why are you doing this to me?!
Then the sound stopped, as if someone had covered it.
Situ Mingji stopped in his tracks and subconsciously glanced in the direction from which the sound came.
However, the maid who was leading the way blocked their path.
“Miss Situ, the way out of the manor is this way.”
Situ Mingji then nodded, "Okay."
After a moment, he casually asked, "I wonder why I haven't seen Madam Shen today?"
The maid spoke in a manner that was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Our lady couldn't accept the sudden passing of Miss and fell ill. She's bedridden now and of course won't be coming."
Situ Mingji nodded slightly.
"This is so sudden."
Situ Mingji lowered his head and wiped away his tears.
"I've been here several times before, and I've never seen your young lady take her medicine. How could this suddenly happen..."
The maid answered softly.
"Miss has been frail since childhood, but her health had improved significantly in recent years. We all thought she was fully recovered, but unexpectedly, she ate seafood a few days ago..."
The maid stopped speaking, lowered her head to wipe away her tears, and did not continue.
Upon hearing this, Situ Mingji realized that the Jiang family's maids had all undergone rigorous training and were probably all speaking in unison, so he knew he wouldn't be able to get anything out of them.
So she didn't say anything and was led out by the maid.
After the funeral, the entire Jiang residence returned to peace.
Besides the addition of a crazy lady in the household.
Jiang Chongfan ignored her and focused all his energy on the Guiyuan Sect.
He hadn't expected that the Guiyuan Sect was so well hidden.
He had searched the entire capital city, but still couldn't find any information about the other party.
This made him anxious.
After all, he has already lost Wan'er, and he absolutely cannot let it affect his son.
Just when Jiang Chongfan was at his wit's end.
That day, he returned home and had just opened the door to his study when he saw someone appear inside.
He sat in a wooden wheelchair, holding the document Jiang Chongfan had just written. When he saw Jiang Chongfan return, he smiled before speaking.
"Oh, Lord Jiang is back."
Jiang Chongfan suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowing.
"It was you!"
"How dare you come here on my behalf!"
Guan Zhixin put down the folded document in his hand, and Mao Zixiao behind him pushed him forward.
Guan Zhixin then spoke.
"I heard that Lord Jiang has been looking for me a lot lately, so I came here specifically to hear what Lord Jiang wants from me."
Jiang Chongfan was still worried about not being able to catch Guan Zhixin. Now that he saw the person, he naturally took a step back and was about to call for help so that he could catch the person.
However, he only took one step back before Guan Zhixin called him back.
"Lord Jiang, please speak slowly."
"Do you know what handing me over to Shen Hechuan means?"
Jiang Chongfan hesitated for a moment when he saw Guan Zhixin's expression.
What do you mean by that?
The meaning is obvious.
A sly smile crept across Guan Zhixin's face.
"Of course you know something?"
Jiang Chongfan carefully observed Guan Zhixin's expression before chuckling softly.
"Guan Zhixin, don't think you can get away with this. You've delivered yourself to my doorstep this time, and I won't let you off no matter what."
Guan Zhixin still spoke slowly and deliberately.
“In that case, Lord Jiang can go and summon someone now, preferably hand me over to His Majesty directly, so that I can talk to His Majesty about the late Crown Prince.”
One sentence caused Jiang Chongfan's expression to change drastically.
He stepped forward and closed the door, his expression turning completely cold.
"Guan Zhixin, what exactly do you want to do?"
Guan Zhixin snorted coldly.
"It is I who wish to ask Lord Jiang what exactly he intends to do."
"Back when Lord Jiang was down on his luck, I helped him a lot. Now that you've made it big and returned to Tiandu, the first thing you do is try to get rid of me."
It's not that simple.
Jiang Chongfan also snorted coldly.
“Let’s be frank. It was clearly you who led people to harm my son, which is why I had no choice but to do this. Now, you’re starting to complain.”
Guan Zhixin snorted coldly.
“Jiang Chongfan, I’m not here today to bring up old grievances. You know perfectly well what happened back then and how I could have hurt your son.”
I spared his life; that's enough to show us some compassion.
Jiang Chongfan snorted coldly, which could be considered a response.
After that, neither of them spoke. They stood a distance apart, looking at each other, waiting for the other to speak first.
In the end, Guan Zhixin couldn't hold back and spoke first.
"I have come today with a request."
Jiang Chongfan snorted coldly.
"beg?"
"Please don't arrest me?"
“Guan Zhixin, I’m not the only one in Tiandu who wants to capture you right now.”
"That's why I need Lord Jiang's help to get me out of the city safely!"
