Rong Su then gave Mrs. Jiang a brief account of how she and Shen Peiqing had gotten the news from the Khan, and combined it with the information Shen Peiqing and Gu Yun had obtained from the state government to further clarify her guess.

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang's face turned even paler, and she even trembled a little while holding on to the armrest of the chair, with a layer of anger on her face.

"I never thought Sun Ruling would be so ruthless in order to protect the Gao family's fortune!"

Rong Su heard something crucial. She looked at Madam Jiang and asked, "What does it mean to preserve the Gao family's fortune? Madam Jiang, could you explain it in detail?"

Mrs. Jiang looked like she was suppressing her anger, and her voice sounded somewhat helpless.

"Miss Rong also knows about Yu'er and Gao Zhuangshan's marriage. Their marriage was an agreement between the old grandfathers of the Jiang and Gao families. Old grandfather Jiang and old grandfather Gao decided on this marriage during their after-dinner conversations, so Old grandfather Jiang never took it seriously. As younger generations, we naturally just regarded it as a joke."

Mrs. Jiang seemed to remember something and sighed.

"I later learned about this by accidentally attending some family gatherings and talking to the wives and concubines of other families. The old master of the Gao family attaches great importance to promises. He even gave Madam Gao and Master Gao a death order. If Gao Zhuangshan doesn't marry a woman from the Jiang family, then all the Gao family property will be handed over to the Central Continent court."

When Mrs. Jiang said this, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, her voice sobbing.

"My master and I didn't want Yu'er to feel any burden, so we kept it a secret. We also treated this marriage as a joke and didn't take it seriously. We never imagined that Yu'er would find a lover later, and Gao Zhuangshan sent someone to propose marriage, which led to the current situation."

Rong Su listened quietly and made a decision in her heart.

If the family business was of such great benefit, it would make sense for Sun Ruling to design this scheme to harm Jiang's father and force Jiang Yanyu to marry Gao Zhuangshan.

However, the more difficult thing now is how to find evidence to first prove Jiang's father's innocence and then expose Sun Ruling's conspiracy.

Thinking of this, she looked at Madam Jiang, who was already in sorrow, and thanked her quietly, "Thank you, Madam Jiang, for telling me these things. I think I will think of a way to help Master Jiang."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang thanked her repeatedly: "Okay, thank you Miss Rong. It's a blessing for Yu'er to have a friend like you who is loyal and willing to help."

When Rong Su heard this, she suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart. She smiled faintly without saying anything, and then found a random excuse to go back to her room.

When she returned to the wing room, she had not yet figured out how to deal with Mr. Jiang. When she was flipping through the papers of the translated medical book, she made a surprising discovery.

"So it can be like this!"

Rong Su was very excited and happy, and she swept away the bad mood caused by Master Jiang's affairs. She held the paper and read it again and again.

"With my acupuncture method and these three herbs, Shen Peiqing's meridians will be healed within six months!"

Just now, after looking through the herbal medicine book she brought back and comparing it with the translated text, Rong Su discovered the most important herbs.

Rong Su quickly took out a pen and paper, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote on the paper: Quanshan Blood Lotus, Hundred Sophora Flavescentis, and Snow Seven Grasses.

She blew on the paper, waited for it to dry, and put it away properly. She smiled with satisfaction and lay down on the bed happily to rest.

At this time, on the other side of the tall house.

A woman wearing a gorgeous light brown dress was Sun Ruling of the Gao family. She had a stern face and an ugly expression.

"What did you say? Someone is actually investigating Jiang Suifeng's imprisonment? Didn't I bribe the state officials? Didn't I just let them convict him directly?"

An old woman had a sad face and nodded to Sun Ruling.

"We did give the money, but the Jiang family also gave it, so the state government postponed the sentencing for another half a month."

Gao Ruling was furious. She swung her hand and the teacup on the table fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

"Mu Yining must have become suspicious and sent someone to investigate this matter! We can't let her investigate further! Send all the money the state government needs to him, and he must sentence the suspect within five days!"

Sun Ruling couldn't help feeling a little panicked. If the truth was revealed and Mu Yining found out, she would be the one to go to jail. She couldn't go to jail. She hadn't enjoyed herself enough. She had finally gotten rid of Old Master Gao and the dead master!

Now, as long as Shan'er marries the lady from the Jiang family, the entire Gao family will belong to her and Shan'er!

Seeing the old woman still standing there motionless, she roared angrily, "Go quickly!"

The old woman was so frightened that she trembled, nodded repeatedly, and then left in a hurry.

Gao Zhuangshan, who had just returned from outside, heard the sound of a cup breaking from Sun Ruling's room. Confused, he hurried over and knocked on the door.

"Mother? What happened to you? I heard something breaking in your room. Are you hurt?"

Sun Ruling heard Gao Zhuangshan's voice and gave a look to the maid beside her. The maid immediately knelt on the ground to clean up, and she answered gently towards the door.

"It's nothing. It's just a maid who broke a cup with her rough hands. It's nothing serious."

The maidservant seemed to understand and apologized repeatedly: "It's my fault. I'm clumsy. Please punish me, Madam!"

After hearing this, Gao Zhuangshan no longer had any doubts and said with concern, "Then, mother, please send some skilled maids to serve you next time. Otherwise, it will happen again, and I'm afraid you'll get hurt."

Hearing Gao Zhuangshan's caring words, Sun Ruling felt much better. She felt particularly comforted and smiled repeatedly, "Okay, okay, mother got it. Shan'er, why are you back so late? Weren't you going to inspect Guoshan? You should have been back at 5 p.m., why are you back at 11 p.m.?"

Gao Zhuangshan felt a little guilty when he heard this, but since he was not facing Sun Ruling directly, he just made up a story because they were separated by the door.

"I just saw that the fruit trees were growing well and the harvest was very good this year, so I chatted with the people there for a while longer. Mother, it's late, I won't disturb you to rest, I'll go back first."

Sun Ruling narrowed her eyes, her tone remaining gentle: "Okay, go ahead."

But shortly after Gao Zhuangshan left, he looked at the maid who had already cleaned up the broken pieces of the cup and said in a rather dignified voice, "Go ask the Khan for me, is it true that the young master was chatting with the farmers in the Fruit Mountain and came back late?"

The maid lowered her head in fear and immediately replied, "Yes, ma'am."

Two days later, Rong Su received news from Yuan Shen again. The state government suddenly issued an order to sentence Mr. Jiang in five days. It can be imagined that they planned to convict him directly.

For this reason, Yuan Shen accompanied Jiang Yanyu and Mrs. Jiang to the state government to lobby for help, but the result was that the decision had already been announced and could not be reversed unless there was more crucial evidence.

At this moment, the entire Jiang residence was filled with a sad and depressed mood.

Rong Su walked in the courtyard of Jiang's house. Every servant she met had a sad face. Some of them were whispering about their future, while others were worrying that the Jiang family would go bankrupt.

Passing by a small courtyard, she saw Jiang Yanyu and Yuan Shen. Jiang Yanyu was leaning on Yuan Shen and crying.

Yuan Shen was also trying hard to comfort Jiang Yanyu. She was far away and couldn't hear their conversation, but it was probably about Master Jiang.

Rong Su withdrew her gaze and turned to leave. She couldn't find a breakthrough for the time being, so she could only wait.

She returned to her room and planned to study the medical books carefully. After all, the task of changing Jiang Yanyu's fate was important, but healing Shen Peiqing's meridians was also urgent.

Just as she was walking past the corridor, she saw a figure hurriedly passing by at a corner. Without noticing, she bumped into the figure face to face.

The other person seemed to be about the same size as her, so she was not knocked down. After he stood firm, he lowered his head and kept apologizing to her.

"I'm sorry, I bumped into you, it's my fault. Please forgive me for my recklessness."

After listening to this series of words, Rong Su raised her eyes and saw a little girl of the same age as herself. Her face was pale and she looked frightened.

She was just a little girl, and she wasn't in the mood to care too much, so she said calmly: "Alright. I don't blame you, just go and do what you need."

When the little girl heard this, she bowed to her several times with gratitude, and then hurried in a certain direction.

Seeing that she was in a hurry, Rong Su looked at the direction she was going, which was the backyard, but she didn't care much and turned around to go back to her room.

She stayed in the room and studied medical books for a whole day until she felt her stomach rumbling with hunger and had to put down the book.

Rong Su lit the lantern, carried it out, and planned to go to the kitchen in the backyard to see if there was anything to eat.

Just as I walked to the backyard and was about to reach the kitchen, I suddenly saw a figure flash past the low wall of the kitchen and head straight for the back door.

Rong Su's eyesight was good at night. With the dim light from the lantern in her hand, she recognized that the figure seemed to be the little maid who had bumped into her face today.

Originally, she didn't want to pay any more attention to it and just wanted to find something to eat.

However, it was late at night and the smallest sound could easily become loud.

In addition, the back door was not far from the kitchen, so as soon as she stepped into the kitchen door, she heard a very quiet conversation.

And she quickly caught the name of a suspected person.

"...Why are you so slow? Young Master Shan is already waiting at Tianxiang Tower."

"I'm sorry. There's a lot of things to do in the mansion today."

Rong Su stopped, listened to the sound of the door closing gently, narrowed her eyes, and turned to look towards the back door.

Young Master Shan?

She didn't even hesitate and chased after him.

As soon as she quietly opened the back door, she saw a small carriage slowly driving away.

Seeing this, Rong Su also followed quietly.

Knowing that the carriage was going to Tianxiang Tower, and after she had heard about Tianxiang Tower from Mr. Jiang, she asked Shang Bo for directions.

She followed the route provided by Shang Bo and the traces left by the carriage, and soon found Tianxiang Tower.

At this time, Tianxianglou had not closed yet and there were still many customers sitting inside.

She thought for a moment, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve as a veil, put it on her face, and then walked in.

When the waiter saw her, he came up to her with a big smile on his face and asked, "Miss, would you like some tea or dinner?"

Rong Su was just about to pretend to be Shan Shao's friend and ask the waiter where Shan Shao's room was, when she saw the figure of a little maid walking across the corridor out of the corner of her eye.

"I have a friend here. I'll go find her myself." Rong Suwan declined the waiter, then hurriedly followed the direction the maid had gone.

Soon, she followed the maid to a small room. When she saw the maid suddenly turn around, her heart skipped a beat and she quickly turned and walked in the other direction.

It was not until she heard the sound of a door closing that she quickly turned her head. Seeing the door shaking, she knew which room the little maid had entered.

Then she looked around. This small room was closer to the end of the corridor. At this time, the shop owner and waiter in the lobby were greeting customers and no one was looking up. She saw the right moment, found a spot against the wall, stood close to the wall, and listened attentively to what was happening inside the room.

After a while, the sound of communication came from inside.

It was a man's rather rough voice, with a hint of joy.

"Zhuzhu. You're finally here. I missed you so much!"

Rong Su narrowed her eyes. Zhuzhu must be the little maid.

"Master Shan. Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu misses you too."

"Haha. My Zhuzhu is still so shy. No problem. Zhuzhu, it's really unfair for you to come to see me like this."

"...No. As long as she can see the young master, Zhuzhu will do anything."

The man seemed to sigh before speaking.

"Zhuzhu, don't worry. After I marry Jiang Yanyu and satisfy my mother's wishes, I will definitely make her agree to let me marry you as my second wife!"

"Master. Zhuzhu is so grateful for your kindness."

"Zhuzhu, don't say that. You're the only one I've always loved. I've already wronged you by not being able to make you my wife."

"Master, don't say that."

"Zhuzhu..."

What happened next was full of ambiguous words between a man and a woman. Rong Su stopped listening and slowly moved away, went downstairs, and left Tianxiang Tower when no one was paying attention.

Rong Su walked on the street, gazing at the silver moon that was faintly visible in the sky, and feeling the cool breeze around her.

"What a sneaky pair of lovers. It seems I know how to solve Jiang Yanyu's dilemma." She curled her lips, with a cunning gleam in her eyes.

The next day.

As soon as Rong Su got up, he couldn't wait to find Jiang Yanyu.

"Zhuzhu?" Jiang Yanyu didn't understand why Rong Su suddenly wanted a little maid named Zhuzhu.

Seeing Jiang Yanyu's confused face, Rong Su explained softly, "I suspect this little maid is having an affair with your fiancé Gao Zhuangshan."

Jiang Yanyu was slightly stunned, then her expression became much more indifferent: "I don't recognize Gao Zhuangshan as my fiancé."

It can be seen that Jiang Yanyu is very resistant to Gao Zhuangshan, but what she wants now is just the little maid named Zhuzhu.

"First, please call all the maids in the mansion whose names contain the character 'zhu'. I will make my own plans."

Although Jiang Yanyu didn't understand what Rong Su was going to do, she had recently been noticing that Rong Su was helping her deal with Gao Zhuangshan. She believed that this girl who occasionally behaved strangely would not harm her.

"it is good."

Soon, Jiang Yanyu asked Shang Bo to call all the maids in the Jiang family whose names contained the character "Zhu".

Shang Bo was followed by three little girls. They all lowered their heads, but their hands were tightly clasped together, and they looked very nervous.

"Miss, they are the three maids in this mansion whose names contain the character 'zhu'." Shang Bo bowed slightly to Jiang Yanyu and said.

Jiang Yanyu nodded. "Okay. Thank you. Shang Bo, you can go ahead and do your work."

Shang Bo didn't ask any more questions, just responded and left.

Jiang Yanyu looked at Rong Su and said, "See for yourself."

Rong Su stared at the three maids seriously, then opened her lips slightly and said, "Everyone, raise your heads."
