From an old woman back to a young girl, she vowed never to marry into a marquisate

Those Shanrong people were all stunned.

Is there such a good thing?

What Jiang Qin said was true. She was exhausted after three years, physically and mentally, and she was not willing to persist any longer.

Of course she knew the consequences of following them.

But compared to the endless physical and mental torment, she would rather go to Shanrong and die!

So Jiang Qin turned around and put away the hairpin and box in her hands. Then she looked at the box deeply again.

Her mind recalled the moment when she first saw Zhou Ziyue many years ago when she was still a little girl. Her childish pupils lit up for the first time.

She smiled gently, then turned around and left with the Shanrong people.

Early the next morning.

Tang Wanru led the servants of the Qiao Mansion and walked quickly into the General's Mansion of Daliang. The two gatekeepers watched the Saint leave, but they didn't expect that the Saint was coming for them. By the time the two men reacted, Tang Wanru had already stepped into the gate of the General's Mansion.

"Hey, you can't go in, this is the general's mansion." Two servants shouted behind.

"I have something to talk to your general about." Tang Wanru answered briefly.

"That's not possible..." Before they could finish their words, Tang Wanru was stopped by the general's mansion guards. They had swords on their waists and looked at Tang Wanru with cold faces and said, "This is a restricted area of ​​the general's mansion, you are not allowed to enter!"

She had not meant to barge in today. She saw the two servants at the door in a daze, so she just walked in. Since they had been stopped, Tang Wanru would not force her way in. She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Please go in and inform the two generals. I am Qiao Ruer from the Qiao Mansion. I have something to ask General Xu."

Qiao Ruer?

Isn't that the saint?

The two men looked at each other and hurried in to report.

Soon, Tang Wanru was taken to the front hall of the general's mansion. Xu Wang had been standing there waiting. After all, this saint was chosen by the higher-ups and was very popular, so Xu Wang still gave her some etiquette.

Seeing her come in, Xu Wang asked, "I wonder why the Saint is here today?"

Saint?

Tang Wanru didn't come here with this identity today, she has other identities.

So she walked into the front hall and said, "General Xu, am I here to look for someone today?"

"Looking for someone?" Xu Wang was also a little surprised.

Tang Wanru's expression darkened, and she said coldly, "General Xu, please hand over the murderer who killed someone in my Qiao family's Feitian Building that day!"

what?

Xu Wang's face turned pale. He didn't expect that she came here for this matter.

"General Xu, we have already found out. The night before the performance of the Great Liangyun, someone from the General's Mansion sneaked into the Feitian Tower and took advantage of the dark and windy night to tamper with the silk hanging on the Feitian Tower, which caused the person to fall. The General's Mansion is also the government's, and such an act of killing someone is really excessive. Please hand over the person and deal with him according to the law."

"This..." Xu Wang looked embarrassed.

Seeing him like this, Tang Wanru asked, "General Xu, are you going to cover up for me?"

That's not the case, but Xu Wang would not give that person out because he knew that if it was confirmed that the person came from the general's mansion, then it must have been his wife who did it.

After all, his wife had had a quarrel with him a few days ago.

How could he betray his wife?

Feeling annoyed, Xu Wang sighed and said, "If it is confirmed that someone from the General's Mansion did this, then it must be me. After all, someone died, so I will take the responsibility."

After all, he is a general. If he were to bear the responsibility of this matter, the consequences might not be serious.

It's nothing more than that the public opinion has some influence on him.

Tang Wanru didn't expect him to say such a thing. He actually took the responsibility himself.

This was the second time she had admired him since she found out that he had placed the woman in Plum Blossom Alley to protect her.

So, seeing that there were not many people around, Tang Wanru lowered her voice and said, "General Xu, the woman is actually not dead."

"What?" Xu Wang looked a little surprised.

"She fell off the silk and hit her head, bleeding profusely, and fainted on the spot. Afterwards, the Qiao family rescued her, but in order to find the murderer as quickly as possible and to protect her safety, we announced to the public that she was dead."

"This way more people will come forward to provide clues."

When Xu Wang heard the news, his face looked a little better. Otherwise, he would have felt that he had killed her.

"That's good." He nodded thoughtfully.

"General Xu." Since the matter had been brought to light, Tang Wanru lowered her voice and asked, "Who did this?"

Since the person was not dead, Xu Wang no longer concealed the truth. He said, "To be honest, no matter who went to Feitian Tower and took action, it was most likely my wife who ordered it."

"It's my fault too." Xu Wang said, "I didn't explain things to her clearly at the beginning, so it caused misunderstandings and led to the current situation."

"Fortunately, the incident is over and the woman was not hurt."

Tang Wanru couldn't help but feel that General Xu was a good man because he was compassionate outside, helping the poor and the weak, and was also able to take responsibility inside.

"Don't worry." Tang Wanru said, "In order to avoid trouble, the Qiao family has secretly sent her and the child out of Liangdu."

"That's good."

Having said that, Xu Wang felt a little strange again. Since this matter has already passed, then why did she come here today?

Just as he was about to ask, Tang Wanru leaned forward and whispered to him, "The Queen invites you to the palace tonight to see her."

Xu Wang was stunned.

Liangdu, Wenxian Tower.

Qi Neng walked in from outside, fanning himself with boredom. As soon as he came in, the waiter came up to him and asked him about his situation. He just said lightly that he had an appointment and went upstairs.

There were very few people on the second floor. Qi Nengde looked around and saw only a person sitting in the corner with his face covered with a scarf, with his back to him. There was no one else.

He walked over in a nonchalant manner.

Looking at her from behind, he originally thought that she must be a beauty, but when he tilted his head to take a closer look, what caught his eye was the winding scar on her face.

He was startled, and his stomach churned, and he almost vomited. He quickly covered his face with a fan and turned to leave.

At this time, her voice was heard: "I heard that you like Miss Qiao Ruer from the Qiao family. Don't you want to sit down and talk to me?"
