Su Mu replied: "I found out... a little bit."

Lu Jinan turned to look at him and asked in confusion: "What did you say?"

Su Mu said nervously, "I found out that Miss Jiang's mother was Wu from Jiangnan, so I traveled to Jiangnan day and night. After much investigation, I found out that this Wu was the daughter of the wealthy Wu family in Jiangnan."

"Jiangnan Wu family?"

Lu Jinan was born in Yongjing. When he grew up, the Xie family in Jiangnan had already declined.

The main branch, that is, the branch of his mother and uncle, basically moved to the capital.

His second uncle, Xie Yuanfeng, is now a third-rank official at the Imperial College and has been living in Yongjing.

Lu Jinan would only return to the Xie family's old house once a year to worship their ancestors, and then he would hurry back.

He had heard of the Wu family in Jiangnan, but he never paid much attention to it.

"Yes. It's the Wu family, the imperial merchant family that supplies jade exclusively to the imperial court." Su Mu replied.

"I stayed near the Wu family for a few days and spent some money. I heard from them that Wu was suddenly married to Jiang Zhou, the Duke of the capital, and became the Duke's wife."

Lu Jinan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Before marrying into the capital, was there anything unusual about this lady?"

Su Mu recalled and shook his head, "No, everything is normal."

He touched his head again and said, "Oh, there is one more thing. It's about the prince."

"Speak." Lu Jinan seemed a little anxious.

Su Mu immediately replied: "Before the current emperor ascended the throne, the Wu family donated one million taels of silver. This was the silver that the prince went to Jiangnan to get, and the place where he stayed was also the Wu family."

After a while, Lu Jinan waved at him, signaling him to go and rest.

Su Mu then bowed and left, leaving him alone in the study.

The early spring sun slowly rose, and the sunlight squeezed in through the carved wooden window, splitting Lu Jinan's face into two.

In the semi-darkness, he pursed his thin lips, and on his high nose bridge were a pair of deep peach blossom eyes, which made him look cold and outstanding, which was very consistent with his reputation.

The less trace there is, the more abnormal it is.

Su Mu's ability is unquestionable. If he can't find it, it means someone has secretly erased all traces.

Why did the Duke's Mansion not marry the noble lady from Yongjing but a daughter of a merchant?

Why was the Wu family willing to let their only daughter marry someone thousands of miles away?

Is there some hidden relationship between my father and the Wu family?

They are all related to the Wu family.

Lu Jinan frowned slightly. It seemed that he had to go to Jiangnan in person.

The day after Jiang Luo's accident, Qin sent Cao Mama to deliver the message:

"Madam is worried about the young lady, so she asked me to tell you that you don't have to go to Chunhua Courtyard to pay respects these days. You can go again after you recover."

She's so hypocritical that she's still pretending to be a loving mother even after their relationship has fallen out.

That’s right. Qin hasn’t gotten what she wanted yet. If she doesn’t pretend, Jiang Zhou won’t be willing to do that either.

Wow, I am quite popular now!

Of course she was very happy to be able to hide away in the quietness of Shaoguangyuan.

Unfortunately, she didn't get her wish.

Honeysuckle said with a look of disdain: "Miss, the third lady brought the second lady to see you."

At this time, Jiang Luo was lying on the chaise longue, basking in the sun leisurely.

Hearing this, she took off the book covering her face, raised her eyebrows, and said lightly: "Mingxu, serve tea."

"Yes, miss." She turned and went to the tea room.

"Hmph, they even chased me into the yard. How shameless." Honeysuckle muttered softly.

Jiang Luo pretended not to hear her complaints and continued reading the book in his hand.

She wanted to see what tricks these two would come up with.

After a while, one pink and one green, they arrived at the courtyard gate.

"Oh, big sister, you really know how to enjoy yourself. Why don't you look injured to me? Are you trying to frame us?" Jiang Yin's provocative voice came closer and closer.

Jiang Nian, wearing a light green brocade dress, followed beside her, making her look more beautiful than a flower.

Jiang Luo looked at the two people's outfits and burst out laughing.

I wonder if Jiang Nian is really willing to be a supporting role?

Seeing that Jiang Luo not only didn't answer, but also kept laughing at the two of them, Jiang Yin asked angrily, "Jiang Luo, what are you laughing at?"

"Am I laughing? I'm praising my second sister. She's a really good supporting actress, and she makes you look more beautiful than flowers." Jiang Luo replied as he stood up.

Jiang Nian, who was standing by, heard this and turned his head away uncomfortably.

She just didn't believe it. The two of them really had a deep sisterly love.

"You..." Jiang Yin pointed at her angrily.

Seeing that Jiang Yin was about to cause trouble again, Jiang Nian hurriedly pulled her sleeve.

If Jiang Yin really caused a scene in Shaoguang Courtyard, Qin would blame her again and she would be the one to be scolded.

Jiang Yin then put down her arm and angrily pulled the sleeve away from Jiang Nian's hand.

I don’t know what’s wrong with my mother. Why did she ask her to come and see this bitch and ask her to temporarily repair her sisterly relationship with Jiang Luo?

She doesn't want it.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Jiang Nian had to speak up to break the awkwardness:

"Big sister, you are feeling better now. Mother is very concerned about you, but she is busy with household chores and cannot come to visit you, so she specially asked me and my third sister to come and see you."

Then he ordered, "Yuejian, give the snacks that my third sister and I brought to my eldest sister to try."

Yue Jian hurriedly took a few steps forward, opened the food box with floral patterns, and handed it to Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo nodded to Rendong, and Rendong took it.

At this time, Mingxu's tea also came up.

The second sister was quite smart and her words were flawless.

Jiang Luo said calmly: "I appreciate your kindness, sisters. Come, have a taste of my tea."

The two of them then sat down.

She added, "There's no need to trouble you, mother. I'll be able to go to Chunhua Courtyard to pay my respects in a few days."

Jiang Nian still kept smiling and said, "That's good. I will tell my mother when I get back."

"Some people are better now, but the one who harmed Aunt Liu is now in solitary confinement. Humph!" Jiang Yin said sarcastically.

Jiang Luo lowered his eyes, looked at the tea in his hand, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Why didn’t I realize in my previous life that Jiang Yin was also quite stupid?

She chuckled and replied, "Hey, Third Sister is right. I don't know why Aunt Liu insisted that she did it. It was obviously..."

Jiang Yin's face immediately became a little embarrassed.

Does this bitch know something?

Seeing that she was about to get angry again, Jiang Nian, who had just sat down, stood up and bowed, saying, "Big sister is not fully recovered yet, so we won't disturb you from resting here. I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he pulled Jiang Yin out.

Jiang Luo, who was sitting in the yard, seemed to still see Jiang Yin angrily shaking Jiang Nian's arm again. The two were arguing about something...

Why did she feel that Jiang Yin was so easily angered now?

Jiang Luo held the teacup thoughtfully.

The two of them didn't cause any trouble today.

However, abnormality is a demon, so she can't relax.

I’m afraid Qin is planning something new!
