"Uncle, do you know what the relationship is between Grand Secretary Teng and the Yuan family?" Jiang Wan asked.
“Grand Secretary Teng?” Ji Rong thought for a moment. “Grand Secretary Teng has been retired for many years, while I was only transferred back to the capital a few years ago, so I am not familiar with him.”
"but…"
He frowned and suddenly said.
"Many years have passed, and I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. Your mother once wrote to me when she was alive, inquiring about the story of Teng Ge Lao's appointment in Youzhou. However, I was not in the capital at the time and was not familiar with the matter, so I was unable to help her."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan fell into deep thought.
"Uncle," she asked, "after Yuan was imprisoned, did Grand Secretary Teng ever come to visit her?"
Ji Rong gave his attendant a wink, and the attendant immediately brought out the records from the Ministry of Justice's prison and began to open them.

Jiang Wan lifted the carriage curtain, stepped down from the low stool, and glanced at him with slight surprise: "Thank you."
A-Si was Pei Xuan's secret guard and the head of the guards in the Eastern Palace. He would never stoop to doing such trivial matters.
Ah Si awkwardly turned his head away.
Biluo, however, did not appreciate his kindness and was still bothered by his confinement of Jiang Wan. She glared at him with a dark face and helped Jiang Wan into the mansion.
"Why are you thanking him, Madam? It's all his fault; you can't even leave the house now."
Jiang Wan chuckled: "Soon."
Biluo asked, puzzled, "What?"
Jiang Wan gazed at the sky and said softly, "The General's Mansion will be reopened soon."
