"Wanqing, this is the most difficult part. Xiao Rong is currently caught in the vortex of the Crown Prince's Mansion, and the Jiang family has suffered such a disaster. Their engagement will probably be hindered by many obstacles."

He paused, his tone becoming heavier.

"The suppression of the Jiang family by the Zhenbei Marquisate this time is definitely not accidental. They postponed the engagement, most likely hoping to use this opportunity to completely sever the relationship between Xiao Rong and Jiang Yu."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing's face instantly turned pale as paper.

She never thought that a sudden disaster would involve such a complicated struggle and even involve the innocent Xiao Rong and Jiang Yu.

"So what can we...what can we do?"

Lin Wanqing's voice was trembling, her eyes were red, and she seemed like she would collapse at any moment.

Lu Shengyuan gently held Lin Wanqing's hand, giving her a touch of warmth and strength.

"Wanqing, don't worry. I will do my best to find out the truth and clear the Jiang family's name."

Lin Wanqing nodded, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

"Shengyuan, thank you."

"I will also do my best to help the Jiang family and Xiao Rong."

Lu Shengyuan looked at Lin Wanqing, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

"Okay, let's work together."

The two smiled at each other, with determination glittering in their eyes.

At the same time, in the Prince's Mansion, Xiao Rong was running around, trying to find evidence to clear the Jiang family's grievances.

He knew that time was running out and he had to find evidence as soon as possible, otherwise hundreds of people in the Jiang family would face a devastating disaster.

However, things were much more complicated than he had imagined.

All the clues related to the Jiang family seemed to have been erased in advance by a mysterious force, leaving him with nowhere to investigate.

Xiao Rong was extremely anxious, but he knew that he could not give up and had to persevere.

Just then, a guard came hurriedly and handed a secret letter to Xiao Rong.

"Mr. Xiao, someone asked me to give this to you."

Xiao Rong opened the secret letter, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The letter actually mentioned the key clue in the Jiang family case, and it pointed to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

"What...what's going on?"

Xiao Rong was full of doubts, but he knew that this secret letter might be the key to overturning the case.

He took a deep breath, carefully put the secret letter away, and then hurriedly left the Prince's Mansion.

He wanted to verify the authenticity of the secret letter and find evidence to clear the Jiang family's grievances.

Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan are also secretly investigating the matter. They act separately and start from different angles, hoping to find some useful clues.

A battle regarding the Jiang family's unjust case is unfolding secretly.

At the Prince's Mansion, the guards hurried to the Prince.

"Your Highness, Young Master Xiao...he left."

When the prince heard this, a sinister look flashed in his eyes.

"Oh? Where did he go?"

"I don't know, but he looks hurried, as if he has something urgent to do."

The prince frowned slightly, feeling uneasy.

He knew that Xiao Rong would never give up easily, and he had to find a way to stop him from continuing his investigation.

Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in the prince's eyes.

"Go, keep a close eye on him for me. If there's any movement, report it to me immediately."

The guards took their orders and left, while the prince sat on a chair, lost in thought.

On the other side, after leaving the Prince's Mansion, Xiao Rong went straight to the place mentioned in the secret letter.

He was very cautious along the way, for fear of alerting the enemy.

Finally, he arrived at his destination, a remote alley.

The alley was deserted, with only a few stray cats playing around.

Xiao Rong looked around, feeling doubtful.

Could it be that he was fooled?

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted Xiao Rong's thoughts.

He turned around and saw a group of men in black rushing towards him.

Xiao Rong thought to himself that something was wrong. He knew that these people were definitely coming for him.

He dodged the attack of the man in black and took the opportunity to escape from the alley.

The man in black followed closely behind, chasing him all the way.

Xiao Rong was extremely anxious. He knew that he had to get rid of these people as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

He quickened his pace and ran towards the crowded area.

Finally, he escaped from the men in black and hid in a teahouse.

The teahouse was bustling with people.

Xiao Rong found a corner to sit down, breathing heavily.

He was full of doubts, not knowing who those men in black were and why they were chasing him.

Could it be because of the Jiang family case?

Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in Xiao Rong's eyes.

He knew that he had to get to the bottom of this matter as soon as possible and clear the Jiang family's name.

Just then, a familiar figure walked into the teahouse and walked straight towards Xiao Rong.

"Mr. Xiao, long time no see."

Xiao Rong looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Prince, why are you here?"

Lu Shengyuan smiled and did not answer Xiao Rong's question. Instead, he asked, "Mr. Xiao, did you encounter any trouble just now?"

Xiao Rong's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

"Prince, to be honest, I did encounter some trouble just now. Someone wanted to kill me."

Lu Shengyuan frowned, and a serious look flashed in his eyes.

"Master Xiao, this matter is of great importance. We must consider it carefully."

Xiao Rong nodded and told Lu Shengyuan about the secret letter.

After hearing this, Lu Shengyuan's expression changed slightly.

"Where did you get this secret letter?"

"Someone gave it to me secretly."

"It seems that someone wants to use you to uncover the Jiang family case."

A hint of doubt flashed in Xiao Rong's eyes.

"Prince, what do you mean..."

"There must be a bigger conspiracy behind this."

"Prince, you mean... my father?"

Xiao Rong's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Lu Shengyuan frowned and spoke in a low voice.

"I'm just proposing a possibility, not a conclusion, but this matter is too strange. All the clues seem to point to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and..."

"And what?"

Xiao Rong asked, his heart was in turmoil, and he was unwilling to believe this guess.

"Also, your engagement with Jiang Yu might also be part of this chess game."

Lu Shengyuan's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Xiao Rong's heart.

Xiao Rong's face turned pale instantly. He stood up suddenly, his voice a little out of control.

"Impossible! Jiang Yu and I have been childhood sweethearts. Our feelings for each other are genuine. How could my father use me to achieve his goals?"

Lu Shengyuan gently pressed Xiao Rong's shoulders and asked him to sit down again.

"Brother Xiao, I understand your feelings, but this is just our speculation. Before the truth comes out, no possibility can be ruled out."

Xiao Rong closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down.

He knew very well that he couldn't lose his composure at this moment.

He took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, they were clear.

"Prince, you are right. I cannot let my anger cloud my mind. I must calm down and get to the bottom of this."

Lu Shengyuan nodded, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Brother Xiao, it's best if you think this way."

The two looked at each other, and without saying anything, they had reached a tacit understanding.
