Jiang Su's heart sank again, and he subconsciously looked at Lin Qingwan. Although she also looked surprised, he felt that this matter was related to her.
She ran out and bumped into the Crown Prince, who saved her. She even ordered her personal guard to take her back to the mansion. Ah Lin went out to look for her but hit the Crown Prince's guard instead.
If the Prefect of the Capital finds out some crime, he can forget about working in the Imperial Guard in the future.
This is... troublesome.
Jiang Su, being the head of all officials, remained calm throughout, staring intently at the servant. "Was there bloodshed or murder?"
The servant rushed over, saying, "See...see blood."
"The Crown Prince's guards were merely a distraction; it was the young master who made the ruthless move."
Jiang Su closed his eyes briefly. He knew his son's character well, but the Crown Prince's actions...
He can't rush things.
Tong Di also feigned surprise, "This humble servant has escorted Miss Qingwan back to her residence. I shall take my leave now."
Jiang Su's eyes lit up. "Guard Tong, wait a moment. This old minister has failed in his duty to discipline the Crown Prince and must go to apologize to him. Why don't we go together?"
Tong Di nodded.
"Miss, you're finally back!" As soon as Mu Xue heard that she had returned to the manor, she lifted her skirt and ran to the door. When she came out, she looked her up and down. Seeing that she was alright, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiu Hong then came out as well, saying, "Miss, the physician has prepared the antidote, and I have also brewed it."
When Lin Qingwan saw the two of them, her heart warmed, and it was only when she stepped across the threshold that she felt that this home had some meaning.
Jiang Yanwan also came over, her eyes and nose red. "Qingwan, you're finally back. If anything had happened to you, I... I would have been so guilty."
"It's good that you're back."
"My father and mother can rest assured."
Seeing that Jiang Yanwan was unharmed while she herself had nearly died in the street, Lin Qingwan couldn't deny feeling sad. But looking at Jiang Yanwan's feigned concern, she suddenly understood.
Bloodline and authenticity are unimportant. The original sin is that she grew up outside and did not have proper upbringing and the dignity of a noble family ingrained in her from a young age. Jiang Yanwan, on the other hand, is the face of the Prime Minister's mansion as long as she stands there.
Therefore, Jiang Yanwan will be fine.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you," she replied coldly.
Jiang Yanwan was taken aback at first, her eyes filled with grievance, but she pretended to be strong, "This matter was all caused by Granny Lai's ill intentions, it has nothing to do with me. Don't misunderstand me."
Lin Qingwan knew that whether she misunderstood or not was irrelevant. What mattered was that Jiang Yanwan was outwardly making every effort to maintain harmony within the Prime Minister's residence.
She saw it clearly, but felt disgusted.
This is probably why she couldn't become Jiang Yanwan as her mother wished.
"If you weren't guilty, why would you come to me?"
Seeing Jiang Yanwan trying her best to control her emotions, Lin Qingwan felt extremely satisfied to go against them.
