Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Old Madam Xue revealed a hint of helplessness and anger in her eyes.

“It was because I knew that your aunt was not the real murderer that I let her off lightly. However, Huan er, how did you know?”

“The rosemary is only available in the Western Regions. Where did your aunt get the rosemary from? It’s clear if you think about it.”

“Huan Er, you’re really smart.”

Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Old Madam Xue looked somewhat surprised and then smiled.

However, there was a hint of coldness in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes when she heard this. “Grandma, if I’m not mistaken, the Wang family must be the ones who planned all this behind the scenes. Do we let it ends like this?”

“Having learned from this experience, I believe your aunt will not be easily manipulated by others. As for me, one foot is already in the grave, so let’s turn a blind eye.”

If it comes to being shrewd, no one can surpass Old Madam Xue. Yet, Jiang Peihuan knew that Madam Xue’s reluctance to pursue further was only for the sake of family harmony.

Jiang Peihuan didn’t say anything else.

Instead, she held Old Madam Xue’s hand tightly.” With Huan Er around, I’ll make sure you live a long life, grandma.

“Alirght.”

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Xue seemed less worried and smiled.

That night, Jian Peihuan did not return to her own courtyard. Instead, she stayed with Old Madam Xue.

While Xue’s mansion was in total chaos, Jingdou was not peaceful either.

In Qing Mansion.

“How is it?”

Xiao Junhao asked Pei coldly as he walked in.

Pei Wu looked upset. He bowed to Xiao and then said quietly, “Your Highness, Eldest Miss Jiang has gone to Qingzhou safely.”

“She’s safe?”

Upon hearing Pei Wu’s words, Xiao Junhao didn’t know whether to feel disappointed or relieved. Only he knew that he had heaved a sigh of relief for a moment.

Pei Wu nodded and continued,” Currently, Eldest Miss Jiang has already arrived at the Xue Mansion, so we can’t do anything.”

“Did Lin Xingchen fail?”

“Where is he now?”

Hearing this, Pei Wu’s expression turned even uglier. Xiao Junhao had a bad feeling upon seeing Pei Wu’s face and asked with a cold gaze, “What happened?”

“Your Highness, Lin Xingchen has joined the army under King Cheng

“What did you say?”

Xiao Junhao’s eyes were filled with gloom.

He knew about Lin Xingchen’s identity long ago and wanted him to attack Jiang Peihuan to gain leverage over Lin Xingchen, so he could use him for his own purposes.

Xiao Junhao was aware of Lin Xingchen’s abilities.

But now, everything had been ruined by Xiao Nanye.

“Your Highness?”

At this time, a gentle voice came from the entrance of the living room. It was Lin Mengyao. Seeing her appear, Pei Wu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Xiao Junhao’s expression was still very ugly, his face somewhat softened.

With the help of Lin Ruohai and Lin Mengyao recently, Xiao Junhao had finally collected enough money to refurbished the palace. Emperor Qi Ming also had a slight change in attitude towards him because of this.

So when Xiao Junhao saw Lin Mengyao, he said gently,” Why are you here all of a sudden?”

“I was just passing by the mansion, so 1 came to see your highness.”

This was clearly an excuse, but no one was going to expose it.

Seeing that Xiao Junhao remained silent, Lin Mengyao took a seat next to him, then spoke softly, “Your Highness, I’ve learned about what you and Guard Pei have been discussing. I have a plan that might help.”

“What ideas do you have, Yao Er? Feel free to share them.”

After spending some time together, Xiao Junhao had come to understand Lin Mengyao personality. Although she was gentle, she had her own thoughts.

Upon hearing Xiao Junhao’s words, Lin Mengyao said softly, “Eldest Miss Jiang is a skilled martial artist and has the protection of the dark guards that King Cheng left her, making it hard to harm her. However, you could target other people from the Jiang family.”

Lin Mengyao’s voice was very soft, but clearly heard by Xiao Junhao and Pei Wu. Upon hearing this, Xiao Junhao’s eyes lit up.

Grasping Lin Mengyao’s hand, a smile appeared in Xiao Junhao’s eyes, “Yao Er, you really are extremely clever.”

“Your highness must be joking. I just wanted to help your highness resolve your worries.”

Lin Mengyao left the Prince’s mansion after a short while.

After she left, the smile on Xiao Junhao’s face instantly disappeared. He looked at Pei Wu and said coldly,” Tell Jian Mei to keep an eye on everyone in the Jiang family. Once there’s any news, inform me immediately.”

“Yes.”

Jiang Peihuan was unaware of what had happened in Jingdou.

Perhaps she was tired from the journey, or because she didn’t sleep well the previous night, but Jiang Peihuan slept soundly that night in the Old Madam’s courtyard.

By the time she woke up, it was already bright outside.

Without disturbing anyone, Jiang Peihuan tidied up a bit and left the room.

Just as she reached the main hall, she heard a familiar voice.

Xiao Nanye was chatting with the old madam. As soon as Jiang Peihuan reached the door, he heard her.

He subconsciously turned to look at the door.

As Xiao Nanye looked at Jiang Peihuan, she looked back at him.

As their eyes met, both of them showed a faint smile.

At first, the old madam had been slightly worried when she learned of Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye’s engagement. But now, seeing the way they interacted, she felt reassured.

Waving towards Jiang Peihuan, the old madam softly said, “Why are you up so early? I specifically told the maids not to disturb you.”

Stepping forward to pay her respects to the old madam, Jiang Peihuan then held her hand, “I’ve slept more than usual.”

“That’s good.”

“King Cheng just arrived. I’ve already told Yun Gui to prepare breakfast. Let’s have breakfast here with King Cheng in a while.”

“Alright.”

“Old Madam, breakfast is ready.”

Actually, breakfast had been ready for a while, and Yun Gui was just waiting for the old madam’s orders. Seeing that Jiang Peihuan was up, she came forward to say.

Then, the three of them went to the dining room.

Several small dishes were ready on the table.

There weren’t many, just five or six dishes.

After sitting down, the old madam looked at Xiao Nanye and said, “I hope your Highness will forgive us. The food in our mansion is always simple. I’m sorry if it’s not enough.”

“There’s no need for that, Old Madam. When 1 was campaigning outside, 1 ate and lived with my soldiers, so I’m not picky about food.”

Although Xiao Nanye didn’t speak much, he was very approachable when talking to Old Madam Xue..
