He favored his concubine and I cut off my wealth. Everyone in the mansion was in a panic.

Lu Tingyu's face turned pale, and he stammered subconsciously: "But we just want to be together simply..."

Princess Jing'an looked at him with a distressed face, but still had to put the bloody facts in front of him, "No matter how simple the love is, once it is mixed with interests and power, it can no longer be pure."

Lu Tingyu did not give up, "Mother, is there really no other way?"

Princess Jing'an remained silent. The Duke Jiang's Mansion was the only duke in Da Chu, and it was almost certain that the daughter of the mansion would marry the prince's mansion. Now with the incident between Lu Tingyu and Jiang Lingyi, Emperor Yonghe would not allow the Jiang family to marry the Jing'an Palace, even if the Jiang family was now only an empty shell.

...

Since returning to Shengjing, Jiang Lingyi has been asking Yunlan to find the master of the year, but after half a month, there is still no clue.

However, there was no movement from Chu Nanchen's selection of concubines, as if it had suddenly fallen into silence.

Jiang Lingyi felt something was wrong, but she had no time to care because she found a secret letter from the crack of Jiang Lingyue's bed. The letter paper was slightly yellowed, and it looked like it had been there for some time.

Jiang Lingyi opened the secret letter and saw that it was written on it——

Miss, Master Zhen is in Pingyuan City right now. Should we take him back to Shengjing directly or keep our troops in place for now? Please decide.

The Master Zhen mentioned in the letter was the charlatan who conspired with Aunt Su to frame Jiang Huan, and the person Jiang Lingyi had been asking Yun Lan to find.

As expected, the person who wrote the letter should be Jiang Lingyue's subordinate, but that person has not waited for Jiang Lingyue's reply.

Jiang Lingyi was delighted to finally find the whereabouts of Master Zhen, but she soon calmed down. This was at least a secret letter sent half a year ago, so whether Master Zhen is still in Pingyuan City at this moment remains to be verified.

Facing the direction of the bed, Jiang Lingyi closed her eyes and silently said: "Sister, your spirit in heaven must bless me, catch this accomplice as soon as possible, and clear our names."

If Jiang Lingyue really died at the hands of Aunt Su, then this secret letter would be her death warrant.

Turning around and leaving, Jiang Lingyi told Yun Lan to take people to Pingyuan City in person, and if they found the whereabouts of Master Zhen, they would bring him back to Shengjing directly.

After Yun Lan left, Jiang Lingyi was not idle, but went to Jiang Huan.

When she first returned to Shengjing, she had no one to use, and Luo was weak and could not accomplish anything, so now Jiang Lingyi could only trust Jiang Huan.

In the study, Jiang Lingyi sat opposite Jiang Huan. The servants in the room had been dismissed long ago, so now only the brother and sister were left in the room.

Jiang Lingyi didn't hesitate and went straight to the point, "Brother, do you believe me about what happened that day?"

Jiang Huan pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "After that day, I thought about what happened that year carefully, and found that there were many doubts, but the truth is now difficult to verify."

As he said, Jiang Huan frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about how to clear Jiang Lingyi's name.

Seeing this, Jiang Lingyi's heart finally warmed up a little, "Brother can do this, I am already very satisfied. And I have a clue about the verification, but it will take some time to verify the details, and now, I want to ask brother to do me a favor."

"You said, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."

Jiang Huan undoubtedly felt guilty about Jiang Lingyi. If what happened that year was really as Jiang Lingyi said, then Jiang Lingyi exchanged herself for his three years of safety.

Seeing Jiang Huan's serious face, Jiang Lingyi suddenly laughed, breaking the solemn atmosphere, "Brother, don't be so nervous, I just want you to find a few reliable servants to keep an eye on Aunt Su, if she has any unusual movements, we can also make countermeasures in advance."

Three years later, Aunt Su became more and more favored, and even the little son she gave birth to was also favored by Duke Jiang for three years, so Jiang Lingyi didn't believe that Jiang Huan was not anxious.

And this is also the biggest reason why she found Jiang Huan.

Compared to Luo, Jiang Huan is obviously more courageous and more ambitious.

Luo can hide in the backyard without fighting or competing, but Jiang Huan can't do it, because in Jiang Huan's eyes, this Duke Jiang's mansion should be his, so he can't stand anyone coveting it.

However, what Jiang Lingyi didn't expect was that her so-called brother would actually be willing to believe her.

However, this does not mean that Jiang Lingyi will open up to him. Three years of indifference is a barrier that Jiang Lingyi will never be able to erase in her heart.

After a little thought, Jiang Huan agreed. After all, monitoring Su Yi Niang's every move is also a matter of benefit to him.

Jiang Lingyi expected that Jiang Huan would agree, so Jiang Lingyi did not react much, but she wanted to ask another thing, "Brother, how did my sister die?"

Hearing this, Jiang Huan was stunned, and a look of pain flashed between his eyebrows. It can be seen that Jiang Huan really cared for Jiang Lingyue.

"Little sister, Yue'er's matter is over. Brother assures you that it was an accident, so you don't have to investigate it anymore."

Jiang Lingyi shook her head firmly, "I don't believe it."

Jiang Huan had no choice but to simply tell Jiang Lingyi the outline of the matter.

Jiang Lingyue did not die of a serious illness, but died of bee venom.

Half a year ago, Jiang Lingyue met a poor scholar by chance. They hit it off and soon decided to spend their lives together.

During a secret meeting between the two, Jiang Lingyue was accidentally stung by a poisonous bee. The venom was so strong that it penetrated deep into her lungs. When Jiang Lingyue was sent back to the mansion, she was only left with her last breath. Not long after, she died.

In order to preserve the face of the Jiang Guogong Mansion and to protect Jiang Lingyue's reputation, Jiang Guogong could only announce to the public that Jiang Lingyue died of an acute illness, and secretly executed the poor scholar.

Jiang Lingyi's face was filled with disbelief after getting such a result. "I don't believe my sister is such a person. She can't possibly do such a foolish thing."

Jiang Lingyue is the eldest daughter of the Jiang Guogong Mansion. She has been highly regarded by Jiang Guogong since she was a child. She has been taught by famous teachers in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery and needlework. She is also dignified and gentle. How could she fall in love with a stranger after just one meeting?

Jiang Lingyi would rather believe that she was the one who did such a thing than Jiang Lingyue.

Jiang Huan poured her a cup of tea, "I know you and Yue'er have a deep relationship, but this incident was witnessed by me, my mother and my father, and it cannot be faked. Yue'er's death has returned to peace, and I don't want you to stir up the matter again. That would be another disaster for you, me, my mother, or the dead Yue'er.

Let the past be the past, okay?"

Seeing Jiang Huan's sincere look, Jiang Lingyi knew that no matter how much she said, it would be useless, so she could only temporarily agree on the surface: "Brother, don't worry, I know."

Jiang Huan couldn't ask here, she could go to the servants who had served Jiang Lingyue to ask, as long as there was something strange, she could always find some clues.

Guessing Jiang Lingyi's intention vaguely, Jiang Huan said to her back: "You don't need to look for any clues anymore. The servants who used to serve Yue'er have been sent far away by our father. Little sister, listen to your brother's advice and marry to the prince's mansion peacefully. Only then can our lives be better. Do you understand?"
