A hint of hesitation and struggle flashed across Prime Minister Jiang's face, but he also knew that now was not the time to cheat.

Prime Minister Jiang's throat rolled unconsciously, and his eyes began to wander, as if he was lost in that somewhat strange memory.

He first cleared his throat vigorously, as if trying to calm the waves in his heart.

"Ahem, Tangxi, what happened that night, I still feel a chill down my spine when I think about it now." Prime Minister Jiang frowned slightly and slowly began to narrate.

"It was a night a long time ago. I got up at night and wanted to see if Jiayun had a good rest. Who knew that just as I walked near her yard, I saw a black shadow flash into her yard. My heart skipped a beat at that time, and I thought it was a thief. I quickly tiptoed closer and saw that the guy was wearing a black brocade robe and a red mask on his face. It was quite scary. But judging from his figure, it must be a man."

Prime Minister Jiang swallowed unconsciously and continued, "I was so anxious at the time, afraid that man would do something evil to Jiayun. I hid aside and secretly listened to their movements. The man's voice was very low, just like the voice coming from the underworld."

"He told Jiayun that he was from a soul clan, and then he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Jiayun. I was a little far away at the time, and I didn't know what was on the paper. I just heard the man say that you would definitely be interested in the things on it, and if you do as the words say, you will definitely come to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I didn't see Jiayun's expression at the time, but I could feel that she seemed to be attracted by the man's words."

Prime Minister Jiang paused, a look of worry on his face.

"Then, the man took out a packet of medicine from his pocket and handed it to Jiayun, saying grimly... This medicine is very strong, you will definitely be poisoned. When you realize your wish, I will come to you for your reward. ... After saying that, the man disappeared in the blink of an eye like a gust of wind."

"Since that night, I haven't seen the mysterious man in black again. I have been investigating secretly, but I haven't found anything."

Jiang Tangxi stood in the dim room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with his hands folded across his chest, his face full of anger like a volcano about to erupt.

After listening to Prime Minister Jiang's stammering story, she felt a surge of blood rushing to her head.

"Hmph, after all this time, you only said this little bit. It's not much different from what I knew before. There's just this Soul Clan. What on earth is this Soul Clan?" Jiang Tangxi squinted at Prime Minister Jiang, questioning in his tone, "You have nothing else to say? Really?"

Prime Minister Jiang was trembling all over under Jiang Tangxi's terrifying gaze. He rubbed his hands and said in a trembling voice: "It's really... It's really gone, Tangxi, I really have told you everything I know."

After hearing this, Jiang Tangxi burst into a mocking laugh that echoed in the room, making people feel creepy.

She suddenly turned her head to look at Jiang Jiayun lying on the bed. The disgust and disdain in her eyes seemed to burn Jiang Jiayun to ashes.

Then he quickly shifted his angry gaze back to Prime Minister Jiang, and almost shouted, "So, when you rushed back that day, you actually knew about this shit a long time ago, right? But you still stood on the side of that bitch Jiang Jiayun without hesitation. You are really good."

Prime Minister Jiang's face suddenly turned as red as pig liver, and his expression was as if he had been slapped hard several times.

He tried to defend himself, stammering, "Tangxi, I know Jiayun has wronged you, but she is my biological daughter after all, and your sister! I had no choice at the time. Didn't I ask her to kowtow to you and apologize that day? This is the best I can do. I just hope that you two sisters can have a harmonious relationship!"

Jiang Tangxi almost exploded with anger after hearing this.

"Kneel down and apologize? Haha, do you really think that this can make up for everything? As my father, is this all you can do? Do you think this is the greatest gift to me? A harmonious relationship? !! You think too highly of yourself. You have never taken me seriously. In your eyes, I am just a chess piece that can be discarded at any time, and Jiang Jiayun is your precious baby. Have you ever really cared about the pain and suffering I have experienced? No, not even once!"

Jiang Tangxi became more and more excited. She rushed to Prime Minister Jiang, grabbed his collar and said viciously, "I'm telling you, I suffered so much outside that I almost lost my life, and you guys are enjoying wealth and glory here. Now that something's wrong, you think of me. Do you still expect me to forgive you easily? Dream on! I wish you would get your retribution right away, so that you can also taste the pain I've experienced."

Prime Minister Jiang was frightened by Jiang Tangxi's actions and his face turned pale. He tried desperately to break free from Jiang Tangxi's hand, but found that he could not move at all.

He could only plead bitterly: "Tangxi, calm down, I know I was wrong, I will definitely make it up to you in the future, please help us, the Prime Minister's Mansion is no longer the same as before!"

"Compensate me? What can you use to compensate me? Can you compensate me? Why should I help you? You caused the trouble yourself, so go and solve it yourself. I tell you, I will never interfere in the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future. Whether you live or die depends on your own luck. I don't owe you anything, so don't bother me again."

Jiang Tangxi pushed Prime Minister Jiang away forcefully, then turned around and walked towards the door.

Upon seeing this, Prime Minister Jiang hurried forward and tried to stop her again, saying, "Tangxi, you can't be so heartless. After all, we are a family."

Jiang Tangxi stopped and turned around, his eyes full of hatred and determination, "Family? Are you worthy? From the moment my mother died, did you look at me with the eyes of a father? When you agreed to the dirty things Jiang Jiayun did behind my back, we were no longer a family. Don't come to me again, or I won't be polite!"

After saying that, Jiang Tangxi strode away with Xiao Yuchen without looking back, leaving Prime Minister Jiang standing there blankly, his face full of astonishment and regret, as if he had aged by a dozen years in an instant.

After returning to the palace, Jiang Tangxi sat in her room, replaying the scene in the Prime Minister's Mansion in her mind.

She always felt that there were details that she didn't know about.

Just then, there was a rustling of doors and windows...
