Qiu Zhi also choked up and said, "Originally, the young lady and her family were running a small business and were getting by. Who knew someone would interfere and ruin the business? They even arrested the son-in-law and the young master."
"Later, I learned that they were trying to force Miss to return to Prince Yu's Mansion and do something she didn't want to do. The most important thing was the list of the Prince's confidants and the whereabouts of those three items."
This is the truth of it all.
Wen Mohan’s fists were so clenched that veins popped out and his face turned ashen.
Jiang Mengli narrowed his eyes and said, "The emperor is really a dog. He will do anything to achieve his goal."
Su Yujiao calmed down a lot and continued, "The servants that Butler Mo bought last time were all spies. If they were discovered, my husband and the others would be in danger."
Wen Mohan frowned when he heard this and said, "Just stay in the room and leave the rest to me."
As he said that, he took Jiang Mengli's hand and strode out of the room and left Hexiang Garden.
After leaving Hexiang Garden, Wen Mohan stopped and looked at her, "Now I believe that I am not going to hurt the people you care about, right? Although the hatred of the previous generation makes me want to hurt you to vent my anger, but... I can't bear it and can't do it."
The eyes as deep as a pool looked at her with great affection, as if there was a suction force that made Jiang Mengli unable to take her eyes away.
My heart was also slightly moved and began beating faster for some unknown reason.
Jiang Mengli looked away for a long while, pretending to be calm and said, "You talk as if you like me and can't bear to suppress my business? It's obvious that you just can't stand seeing me doing well."
Who would believe this liar who keeps telling lies?
When her thoughts were in a mess, she suddenly fell into a warm embrace. The cold and unique breath made her heart beat fast.
Soon, a man's low and sweet voice came to my ears, "I like you..."
Jiang Mengli's body froze suddenly, unable to believe what he heard.
"you……"
Before she could say anything, the man held her cheeks, leaned over and kissed her lips gently and affectionately. The gentle and soft breath intertwined with each other, somewhat intoxicating.
"I'm going to the palace..." Wen Mohan let go of her and put the house deed into her arms, "Wait for me to come back."
Before she could speak, he turned and strode away.
"He said he likes me." Jiang Mengli touched his kissed lips in a daze, then looked at the house deed.
She was silent for a moment, then patted her cheek and shook her head. "I can't believe it. Be rational. Who knows if this is his conspiracy? He wants to use his beauty to confuse me, but I won't fall for it!"
It would be better to slip away and not wait for him to come back in the mansion. She collected the house deed and left Prince Yu's Mansion neatly.
Lingqiao had already been sent home by her, so she went straight home without going to the clinic.
"Lingqiao, I'm back." Jiang Mengli walked into her room, "Look what I brought you? It's your favorite peach blossom pastry, freshly baked."
Lingqiao leaned against the bed and smiled when she saw the peach blossom pastry. "Thank you, Miss. I didn't expect you to know what I like to eat."
She took a piece and took a bite, then suddenly asked, "Have you found out about the Prince Yu's Mansion?"
Jiang Mengli nodded, "We've found out. Su Yujiao's husband and child have been imprisoned by His Majesty, forcing her to stay in Prince Yu's mansion as a spy. Wen Mohan has gone to see the Emperor now."
These words shocked Lingqiao.
Not only was it shocking that Su Yujiao had a husband and children, but even more shocking was the emperor's actions.
"The Emperor is such a mean person." Her clever eyebrows knitted together. "I'm afraid that His Royal Highness Prince Yu's entry into the palace won't be smooth. Aren't you worried?"
Jiang Mengli paused for a moment, then quickly regained his composure and said nonchalantly, "Why should I worry about him? Anything that happens in Prince Yu's Mansion has nothing to do with me. We are just ordinary people. We just need to do our own thing."
…
A side hall of the imperial palace.
The emperor smiled gently at the gloomy Wen Mohan and said, "Why do you look so unhappy? Is it because the spy matter has not been resolved yet?"
Wen Mohan said expressionlessly, "The spy from the Armory is indeed nowhere to be found. It's too secretive, so we have to investigate slowly. However, we have uncovered quite a few spies in the palace."
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the emperor, observing the changes in his expression.
The emperor's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to a faint smile. "You actually have a spy in your house. How dangerous! Fortunately, you've discovered it now."
Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was already feeling uneasy inside.
I even secretly cursed those losers for being discovered so quickly.
Wen Mohan remained expressionless. "Yes, fortunately, we found out. His Majesty said what conditions he would require to release Su Yujiao's husband and child. They are innocent people and there is no need to get involved in these things."
Once these words were spoken, everything was made clear, and it also proved that the emperor's secret actions had been discovered.
The emperor stopped beating around the bush, put away his smile, and sat back on the throne, saying solemnly, "It's tiring to toss and turn. You should know what I want without me having to explain."
Wen Mohan pulled out a long brocade box from his sleeve and opened it to reveal a bright yellow imperial edict inside. "You should really want this. I'll give it to you if you can get the person to Prince Yu's Mansion safely."
The emperor really wanted this thing and couldn't wait to get it now.
It is worth it to exchange Su Yujiao's family for this thing.
"Okay." The emperor agreed readily. "I will order someone to do this now. Eunuch Fu will leave the palace with you. Just hand it over to Eunuch Fu when the time comes."
Wen Mohan put the things back into his sleeve, turned around, opened the door and walked out. Eunuch Fu immediately followed.
When he returned to the mansion, he did not see Jiang Mengli. Yun Jian said that she had left long ago.
