The music and singing in the house stopped, and Lord Ji followed the owner of the house into the study.
"What's going on?!" He closed the door, his brows involuntarily filled with anxiety: "Didn't you say before that Jiang Xing would die on his wedding day? Why is he fine now, but my son is in jail?!"
The owner of the house sat in the main seat opposite, calmly brewing a pot of tea and handing another cup to Lord Ji. "Lord Ji, are you questioning me?"
He smiled indifferently: "Whether Prince Jin is dead or not, I don't need you, Ji Xiangli, to remind me!"
"You!" Lord Ji Hou was so angry that his eyebrows were raised, but considering the ability of the man in front of him, he swallowed his breath.
"Then what do you think?"
At this juncture, it is better not to provoke him!
The person in front of him slowly completed a set of Tai Chi health-preserving stick exercises, meditated for a while, and finally raised his eyelids to look at him.
"Do you think you, Ji Xiangli, are the only one who knows that there's something wrong with Jiang Xing not dying? I already knew something was wrong the moment he went to the palace to pay his respects!"
The man pondered for a moment, his eyes filled with sinister intent. "I'm investigating! The person who could break my formation is no longer in this world. I wonder if there are other masters out there!"
Lord Ji was shocked: "Is there anyone more powerful than you?"
Then he smiled stiffly, "My lord, you were just boasting that you were the best in the world. Now you've been slapped in the face a little too quickly!"
The man slowly put down the teacup, "There's no need to provoke me here!"
"Whether your son lives or dies has nothing to do with me. I only help those who deserve help. The Ji family will bear the consequences of the evil they have done!"
"Don't even think about staying out of this!" Ji Xiangli slammed the table. "We all prosper together and suffer together!"
The person opposite him looked at his humiliated expression and suddenly burst into laughter: "What do I have to lose? What do I have to lose?"
Ji Xiangli was suddenly speechless.
Seeing that he couldn't convince him, Lord Ji Hou slammed the door angrily and left the mansion.
As soon as Ji Xiangli left, the man's smile suddenly turned cold.
He blew a whistle, and someone immediately came in from outside the door and saluted him respectfully: "Master!"
"See? Even old man Ji Xiangli came to ask!"
He raised the curtain and looked at Ji Xiangli's back outside: "Now that we've found out that it was Xu Bai who went to Prince Jin's Mansion, the Yin Sha Formation has been dissolved. All the skills that Xu Bai learned from me must be returned to me!"
The servant panicked for a moment, his eyes flickering as he asked, "Master, please give me your instructions!"
He looked at his henchmen prostrating themselves before him and sighed softly, "Just quietly take someone to do it! An ungrateful person like Xu Bai cannot remain in this world!"
The servant tensed up: "But, but he is your disciple!"
The man's brows were filled with anger. "I helped him become the abbot, not to let him be greedy and ruin my plans! I don't have a disciple like that!"
"Yes! I'll do it right away!"
"and many more!"
The servant took two steps before being called back: "Since Jiang Xing has already found out that the person who murdered him is from the Ji family, then we can just sit back and reap the benefits!"
"After you take action, try to leave evidence in the Marquis' Mansion!"
The servant pondered for a moment: "Master, do you want to put the blame on the Yongping Marquis Mansion?"
The man nodded. "Xu Bai saved Jiang Xing, and if he died like this, he'd probably find out! It would be best for us to just let the Marquis's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion fight each other!"
"Yes!"
……
Ever since she was beaten by Ji Bozhou, the entire Yongping Marquis Mansion has been keeping a closer eye on Song Chuchu to prevent her from going out and talking nonsense.
Looking at the two servants standing motionless at the gate of Qingjingyuan, she stuffed another twenty taels of silver into each of their hands.
"My two young men, please be flexible. I'll just be out for a moment, just walking around the mansion, and I'll be back in a moment!"
The two servants glanced at the silver and said, "Madam, please don't make things difficult for us. We will never let you go!"
She lowered her eyes: "Then...it's okay if you don't go out. I can ask the two young men some questions, right?"
She looked innocent. "I heard that Miss Sun and the Third Prince were getting married. Although I was disliked by the family, I still hope to gain some face for the Crown Prince. So, do you two know when they are getting married?"
The servant on her right looked at her strangely, then lowered his head and whispered, "This kind of news can't be mentioned in the mansion recently. Madam, please be careful with your words!"
Song Chuchu suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
Soon, she heard the man continue, "The Third Prince has been punished by the Emperor. It's said he'll have to face the wall for two months! We were originally planning on discussing the engagement, but I'm afraid we'll have to wait a long time!"
Song Chuchu's heart sank. She felt as if she had become a weed with broken roots, and even the last bit of hope might be snuffed out.
how can that be possible?
At this time in the previous life, Ji Tang and the Third Prince had already started talking about marriage. During this period, the Third Prince often went to the Marquis' Mansion. She came to find Song Wu at that time and often saw him!
It was at this time that she teased the Third Prince and planted the seeds of desire in his heart.
The fifteen-year-old boy was just experiencing sex for the first time, so she could easily capture him from behind!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Why had even the Third Prince's trajectory changed?
She originally disdained to think about these trivial matters, but now she can no longer ignore them!
Where did it all start to go wrong?
The same person who was thinking about this question was Master Ji Hou, who had just returned from Xianyifang.
He slammed his fist on the table in the main hall. Compared to the safety of his eldest son, the wound on his fist did not hurt him at all.
The man from Xianyifang actually provoked him so blatantly, and even said bluntly that he would not care about Cheng'er!
He is indeed a scum and unreliable!
Now he has to figure it out on his own!
"Mustard!"
"exist!"
Jiezi, who had been following Ji Cheng, walked in from outside the house.
Lord Ji Hou was furious. "You've always been close to the Boss. Besides helping him with his daily affairs, he once sent you to investigate why he sent someone to poison Prince Jin, but Prince Jin didn't die?"
A sinister look flashed across Mustard's lean face: "I've checked!"
He was also a little indignant: "I only recently found out that Prince Jin had actually been feigning illness! When he was brought back to the capital from Longchuan in a coffin, what we saw was actually an illusion!"
A crack appeared on Lord Ji Hou's angry face: "What?! It's been fake since the beginning!!"
"Yes!" Jiezi hurriedly lowered his head. "Prince Jin feigned illness and even fooled Xu Xinglin! We only found out recently, otherwise Xu Xinglin would have informed me long ago!"
"Does that mean Xu Xinglin's poisoning failed?"
"No!" Jiezi suddenly looked up. "It was on the way back to the capital that Prince Jin met the current princess, the former eldest daughter of the Bo Mansion! She must have been the one who detoxified the prince!"
Lord Ji's heartbeat became violent. "She is a girl in the boudoir. How could she know how to save people?"
"I'm afraid that's true. I've been investigating this matter for several days, and there's only one unexpected thing!"
The beast in Lord Ji Hou's heart was roaring angrily!
Song Wu!
It’s you!
It turns out that you are the enemy of the Marquis' Mansion!
But Ji Xiangli's anger did not last long, and he was soon awakened by another piece of news in his mind.
"According to what the Song family said before, Song Chuchu and Song Wu were mistakenly taken away! Since Song Wu is not their daughter, go and investigate thoroughly to find out who her true identity is."
Only then did he realize that there were so many suspicious points about Song Wu!
"Is it the farm girl Si Luan mentioned earlier, or someone else? Or who she has been in contact with? Otherwise, how do you explain her saving Jiang Xing?"
A person who had been childhood sweethearts with Si Luan and was determined to marry him, actually ended up marrying Jiang Xing, and the two of them were known to be in love with each other!
There is definitely something wrong here!
