However, strategy alone is not enough, the right time, right place, and right people are all essential. After all, Xiao Jinrui is not an easy person to deal with.

"Did Miss Jiang say anything else?"

If she asks, I can help her because of her care.

Yifeng thought for a moment, then his eyes flashed as he looked at Xiao Jingchuan and said, "Master, when Miss Jiang left, she told me to take good care of you and let you rest, and not to let you worry. Master, do you want to rest now?"

Now thinking about it, I was really wrong to take my anger out on Miss Jiang because of my master's affairs.

"But Miss Jiang is really smart. She actually thought of taking advantage of Master Xie's influence. With Master Xie around, I believe King Rui will be cautious and won't blatantly take sides." Yifeng said to himself, not noticing Xiao Jingchuan's changed expression.

Xiao Jingchuan was startled, his eyes darkened, and his tone became cold: "Do you have any news about Doctor Xu? When will he be back?"

"Master, if nothing unexpected happens, Doctor Xu will be back tomorrow!"

"It's too late. Tell Yun Chi to come back before dawn!"

Xiao Jingchuan looked up at the window, feeling somewhat lost. Thinking that Jiang Shuyu had gone to find Xie Yian instead of him, he felt even more distressed.

Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but touch his chest and asked himself in a low voice: "What happened to him?" Then he returned to normal. Since he didn't have the answer in his heart, he would go find it himself.

"Xie Yian needs to personally investigate the poisoning. You should notify him immediately and have him go investigate immediately."

"But our master, Prince Xie, is now highly valued by the emperor. I'm afraid he can't leave for the time being?" Yi Feng looked at Xiao Jingchuan and spoke angrily. He didn't know why his master suddenly thought of Prince Xie. Could it be that the master was blaming them for not doing their job well?

"This little thing won't faze him. Just tell him directly."

"Yes, I'll do it right away!" Yifeng couldn't help but secretly sympathize with Xie Yian in his heart. It turned out that capable people are destined to be busy and toilsome.

However, Xie Yian was not the only one who was busy and toiling. Xu Yiyuan had just fallen asleep when Yun Chi woke him up. Facing Xu Yiyuan's anger, Yun Chi said, "Doctor Xu, the master's condition has changed. We need to return to Kyoto immediately."

Xu Yiyuan looked at Yun Chi in surprise, wondering why he hadn't received the news. However, thinking that Xiao Jingchuan's situation could not be delayed, he could not help but suppress his anger and persuade himself that he could not sleep anyway, so he might as well go back early. Then he looked at Yun Chi coldly and said, "In that case, let's hurry!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Yiyuan was so easy to talk to today. Yun Chi couldn't help but feel happy and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Sorry to bother you, Doctor Xu. You guys pack up and leave immediately."

……

The weather was beautiful and cloudless.

When Jiang Shuyu opened her eyes in the morning, she saw that it was already bright. Thinking that today was the day of Jiang Yanxu's competition, she hurriedly sat up.

Yu Lan saw Jiang Shuyu wake up and hurried forward to serve her: "Miss, are you awake?"

"What time is it now? Has the Fourth Young Master sent anyone to look for her?"

Yu Lan looked at Jiang Shuyu while taking the clothes and replied, "Miss, it's early in the morning and it's not the time yet. I guess the Fourth Young Master hasn't packed yet. Miss, you will definitely catch up!"

Jiang Shuyu nodded slightly, then started to pack up. Yu Lan served Jiang Shuyu a simple breakfast, and then the two of them walked towards Jiang Yan's yard.

When Jiang Shuyu came over, she happened to run into Jiang Yanxu. Jiang Yanxu was immediately delighted and hurriedly walked a few steps to Jiang Shuyu: "Yu'er, why are you here so early? It's okay even if you don't go."

Tiger Leap Mountain is steep, and there are many mosquitoes in this weather. How can a delicate girl like Jiang Shuyu endure this hardship?

"Fourth brother, are you afraid that Third Sister will see you admit defeat, so you won't let her go with you?"

Jiang Wanrong looked at the affection between Jiang Shuyu and her brother, and a trace of resentment flashed across her face. The maids in the mansion always flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak. Ever since her mother was deprived of her right to be the housekeeper, the situation of their second house had plummeted.

The culprit for all this is naturally the third house, and Jiang Shuyu is the worst offender. If you say that this matter has nothing to do with her, she will not believe it even if you kill her.

Fortunately, cousin Yuan knew their situation and was willing to stand up for them. In order to avenge them, he set a trap for Jiang Yanxu.

When she heard the news, she had been looking forward to seeing the blow to the third branch in person. Now that she happened to meet Jiang Shuyu and her brother and sister here, she naturally couldn't help but ridicule them.

Hearing Jiang Wanrong's voice, Jiang Shuyu's face instantly darkened, and then she turned around and looked at Jiang Wanrong with a smile on her face and said, "I heard from the servants that Second Aunt's condition has worsened again. Second Sister is not by Second Aunt's side to take care of her. Are you going out to play and watch the fun too?

Outsiders say that the second sister is the most filial. During the days when the second aunt was sick, she did everything by herself and served the second aunt without taking off her clothes.

Now that Second Aunt hasn't recovered yet, Second Sister couldn't wait to go out and watch the fun. If someone with ulterior motives saw her, her image as a filial and virtuous woman would be ruined!"

Jiang Wanrong's expression changed, and she looked at Jiang Shuyu with a hint of warning in her eyes, "My mother has naturally recovered from her illness with the help of the medicine. Now she just needs to rest. Don't worry about these things, third sister. Just take care of yourself! You must cover your face with a handkerchief later! I'm afraid you can't afford to lose face!"

A smile flashed in Jiang Shuyu's eyes, and then she looked at Jiang Wanrong: "That's great, of course. Yu'er has always wanted to visit, but unfortunately my health is not good and I caught a cold. I was afraid of passing the disease to Second Aunt, so I didn't visit. Otherwise, Yu'er would have visited Second Aunt a long time ago. When Yu'er comes back, I will definitely go to see Second Aunt to show my love!"

Jiang Wanrong couldn't help but get angry. If there was one person her mother least wanted to see, it would definitely be Jiang Shuyu. If she let Jiang Shuyu go over and take a look, who knows what kind of trouble would happen. Her mother might not be able to bear the slightest stimulation now.

Thinking of Yuan Caijun's words, Jiang Wanrong snorted coldly, then looked at Jiang Shuyu and the others and said, "I hope you can still laugh in a while. We'll see!"

Seeing Jiang Wanrong's confident look, Jiang Shuyu narrowed her eyes and couldn't help but look at her secretly. It seemed that Yuan Caijun said something to her, which made her feel so confident.

"Fourth brother, you need to be more vigilant. Don't trust even the people around you. You should remember that you shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but you must always be on guard against them!"

"Are you saying that the people around me will betray me?" Jiang Yanxu looked at Jiang Shuyu's repeated warnings and couldn't help but believe it a little bit.
