"Sister Wan, what's wrong with you? Didn't Aunt Qian already, already..."

Jiang Qingxun did not dare to utter the rest of the words, for fear of upsetting his elder sister who had no idea what had happened.

Yu Tingwan looked at him with a look of "It's over, Sister Wan is stupid!", and then she realized that she seemed to have not told them about Aunt Qian's fake death!

Jiang Qingyao, the smartest among the brothers, had already seen something from Yu Tingwan's expression and asked tentatively:

"Wanwan, is Aunt Qian... not dead?"

Yu Tingwan affirmed his words and then told him the truth about what had happened before.

So, no wonder they went to pay tribute to Aunt Qian after she died. After all, they had protected their aunt for many years, so they should go to pay tribute to her.

But at that time they were still wondering, with their cousin's current temper, how could she let those people from the Shangshu Mansion go so easily?

It turns out that Aunt Qian is not dead at all!

"If Aunt Qian hadn't died, Yu Huaiyi wouldn't have let her go so easily, so I simply let Aunt Qian fake her death and get away with it."

If I had arrived a step later, I would have died. It was because Yu Huaiyi did it himself that he was so confident and didn't fight with me for too long.

"So you're going to see Mammy now to find out about what happened to your aunt?"

Yu Tingwan nodded.

But she didn't talk about her background. Before the matter was investigated clearly, not too many people could know that she was not Yu Huaiyi's daughter.

But she felt that Aunt Qian might know the inside story!

"By the way, I haven't asked yet, where are you going, cousin?"

"I haven't had much to do recently. Your cousin is disliked by his family and is a nuisance, so they asked me to take him out for a stroll. Anyway, just don't hang around in front of the family!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingxun became excited. What do you mean he is in the way? It’s obviously both of us who are in the way, okay?

Yu Tingwan wanted to laugh after hearing this. Isn't this just like a college student going home? He gets tired of it after a few days!

"Since you have nothing to do, cousin, why don't you come with me today?"

Jiang Qingyao nodded, "Forget it, it doesn't matter where we go. It's just right. Not only can I catch up with my cousin, but I also want to go see Aunt Qian."

More importantly, he always felt that his cousin was doing something very important. Jiang Qingyao sensed it when she was busy making money!

Several people quickly left the city gate and headed for the villa in the suburbs of Beijing. The villa of Prince Chen's Mansion was in an area separately enclosed by the royal family. However, the surrounding area and the hills behind were all the property of Prince Chen's Mansion, so it was better concealed.

Several people got off the carriage, and a gatekeeper at the door led the carriage away. When leaving, Yu Tingwan glanced at the gatekeeper, who seemed to have difficulty walking.

"Most of the people employed in the palace's industries are veterans who have retired from the battlefield. Some are old, and some retired due to injuries. However, after these people returned, no place was willing to hire them. After the prince knew the situation, he let them work in the various industries of the palace, and they can also have a share of income."

This was told to Yu Tingwan by An San, the carriage driver. Yu Tingwan responded without saying anything else, but he had some thoughts in his mind.

Afterwards, several people entered the villa. When Aunt Qian heard the noise, she hurried out to greet them.

Her health had already recovered, and she wanted to find her young master as soon as possible, but she had a lot of thoughts in her mind, and after thinking for such a long time, she finally decided to meet him.

Seeing Yu Tingwan, Nanny Qian couldn't help but step forward and kowtow to thank her. If it weren't for the young lady, she was afraid that she would really die in that small ancestral hall. She didn't know when she would be able to avenge the young lady.

"Young lady! I thank you for saving my life."

Yu Tingwan asked Lan Yue to help the man up.

"Mammy, there's no need to do this. Get up."

Yu Tingwan didn't want to say anything else. She was not good at sentimental things.

Madam Qian had been in the villa for a long time, so she naturally found out a lot about the young master's current affairs and had some understanding of him.

The little master's temperament is very similar to the master's. In fact, they are both somewhat informal. However, the master is trapped by love and...

She just hopes that the young master will be fine. She feels relieved because she thinks Prince Chen is not that kind of scumbag.

When they returned to the house and sat down, Madam Qian looked at the other two young masters and felt that they were familiar, so she bowed to them:

"Hello, gentlemen?"

Jiang Qingyao nodded in return, "My name is Jiang Qingyao, my father is Jiang Hongyi, and this is Xiaowu, Jiang Qingxun, the child of my second uncle."

Aunt Qian was a little excited when she heard this.

"Okay, okay, it turns out that you are the children of the first and second masters. You have grown up so big now. The young lady was still talking about you before she left!"

After a few pleasantries, they all felt a little depressed when they mentioned Jiang Wanyun.

Aunt Qian calmed down her emotions, looked at Yu Tingwan who was sitting at the top and didn't say much, and said to her slowly:

"Young lady, this time I asked you to come here because I have something to tell you about you."

When everyone saw that she was talking about serious matters, they all became serious. They didn't know what had happened in the past, and it is still a mystery to this day. However, this person who might know the inside story but didn't say it back then seemed to finally be willing to speak.

Then Nanny Qian stood up and suddenly knelt down again in front of Yu Tingwan.

"I am guilty of not being able to protect the young lady and letting her be harmed by the traitor. I did not tell the old master the truth, allowing the traitor to get away with it for so many years. Not only that, I also caused the young lady to suffer for so many years. It's all my fault!"

Everyone looked slightly solemn. Sure enough, there was something fishy about the death of their mother/aunt, and the person in front of them seemed to know the truth!

In this situation, Jiang Qingyao and the other person naturally couldn't say anything, so they naturally looked towards Yu Tingwan.

They thought Yu Tingwan would be sad, heartbroken, or angry and helpless, but what they saw was that Yu Tingwan was still so calm that no one could detect any emotional fluctuations.

Yu Tingwan asked Lan Yue to help Madam Qian up, and waited until she sat down before slowly saying:

"I have already guessed the cause of my mother's death, and there is no need to blame yourself, Mammy. I think you chose to conceal it because there must be some things that cannot be known to others for the time being. Or, if some things were known to others, it would have an impact on my mother, right?"

Nanny Qian stared at Yu Tingwan in a daze.

Did the young lady know something? Otherwise, why would she say such a thing?

Seeing Nanny Qian's reaction, Yu Tingwan confirmed her guess. Nanny Qian was her mother's personal maid and had always been valued by her mother, otherwise her mother would not have given her to her.

It is precisely because of this that if anything happened to my mother, Aunt Qian would be the first person to know the news.

Moreover, for someone who can guard her master for so many years, there must be something that makes her worried!

"Mammy?"

Aunt Qian lowered her eyes and thought about how to start the conversation. The others did not urge her, but just waited quietly for her to speak.
