After tearing up the script of the vicious female supporting role, I cleaned up the Xiangfu every da

The affairs of Chang Yueguan are very secretive. If Pei Zhanzhou had not been keeping an eye on someone, he would not have been able to trace the matter here.

But Jiang Wansang's reaction was obviously that she suddenly remembered something after hearing what he said, and it didn't seem like she had known about it all along.

Jiang Wansang certainly knew about Chang Yueguan's affairs, and might even know more than Pei Zhanzhou.

She didn't hide it and nodded, "Changyue Temple was originally just a small Taoist temple, but after performing a ritual for the deceased mother twelve years ago, it was no longer valued by the Empress Dowager."

The youngest daughter who died young has always been a source of worry for the empress dowager. She often suffers from insomnia because of this and invites eminent monks to perform rituals for her every year.

Twelve years ago, Xu Hongying, the current abbot of Changyue Temple, volunteered to perform a ritual. Unexpectedly, right after the ritual was completed, the empress dowager, who had always suffered from insomnia, not only had a good sleep, but also dreamed of her deceased mother.

Because of this, nobles in the imperial city would naturally patronize Chang Yue Temple more often, and the empress dowager later handed over the funeral rites to Chang Yue Temple.

"Everyone thinks that the master of Changyue Temple is capable, which is why he is appreciated by the Empress Dowager and respected by nobles. However, they don't know that there has always been someone manipulating Changyue Temple behind the scenes, and even his initial approach to the Empress Dowager was deliberately arranged."

The book does not say how the abbot of Changyue Temple approached the Queen Mother, but it does mention that the Queen Mother dreamed of ** one night, which was the person's trick behind the scenes.

Seeing that she knew so much about Chang Yueguan, and even knew the relationship between the Queen Mother and Chang Yueguan, Pei Zhanzhou was surprised and more curious.

He knew exactly what forces Jiang Wansang had.

If she had such a powerful intelligence network, why did she bother Feng Yi to go to Beisheng to develop it? And why did she go to so much trouble to establish the Thirteen Shadows?

But if she didn't have such a powerful intelligence network, how did she know all these things?

Pei Zhanzhou felt that the woman in front of him was a mystery, and no matter how he turned the pages, he could not see the final answer.

Being as sensitive as Jiang Wansang, she certainly noticed his gaze on her.

But if Pei Zhanzhou didn't ask, she certainly wouldn't say anything. Anyway, it was impossible for him to find out anything.

Jiang Wansang continued the previous topic, "Since you have investigated Changyue Temple, you should know who is behind it, right?"

Pei Zhanzhou withdrew his thoughts, nodded, and uttered three words in a cold voice: "Wan Zhaoyi."

Su Huanyu's mother, Wan Zhaoyi, who locked herself in a small Buddhist temple for more than ten years and never participated in the disputes between the former dynasty and the harem.

If Jiang Wansang had not let him know Su Huanyu's true identity in advance, and he had not vigilantly asked people to investigate Wan Zhaoyi, the mother of the seventh prince, he probably would not have discovered this.

In the eyes of the world, Wan Zhaoyi and Changyue Temple have nothing in common. Even the small Buddhist temple in Wan Zhaoyi only enshrines Buddha statues, which has nothing to do with the Taoist temple.

So who would have thought that the person behind Chang Yueguan would be Empress Zhaoyi in the deep palace.

Wan Zhaoyi had been planning for more than ten years to develop Changyue Temple into its current scale where it specializes in performing rituals for nobles. Of course, she wanted more than just the small amount of money rewarded by the nobles.

Every household has some unknown secrets, and a Taoist temple like this that specializes in performing rituals will always know something.

It was by relying on this that Wan Zhaoyi in the book helped Su Huanyu gain the support of many court officials in his later struggle for the throne.

It can be said that Su Huanyu in the book was able to easily gain the support of court officials in the fight for the throne, and no one dared to jump out to resist later, not only because he got the half of the real account book, but also because of Wan Zhaoyi's layout in Changyue Temple.

But now that Pei Zhanzhou has found out about this, I'm afraid Wan Zhaoyi's wishful thinking will be dashed.

Jiang Wansang suddenly became excited.

Of course she would be happy to do anything that could embarrass the Child of Destiny!

"Now that you know the relationship between Chang Yueguan and Wan Zhaoyi, what does the Imperial Master intend to do?"

He looked so gloating that it was almost as if the words "I want to see that mother and son in trouble" were written on his face.

Before Pei Zhanzhou came, he had already thought of a way to deal with them, and even thought of how to deal with Meng Lianshu.

But seeing Jiang Wansang's enthusiastic look, he didn't express his thoughts, but asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Jiang Wansang nodded happily, smiling excitedly, "He should have fallen where he got up."

As soon as she said this, Pei Zhanzhou understood what she meant.

Chang Yueguan has achieved what he has today thanks to the Queen Mother. If he wants to bring him down in one fell swoop, he must of course start with the Queen Mother.

Jiang Wansang was quick-witted and soon came up with an idea, but this method required Pei Zhanzhou to do it.

Pei Zhanzhou looked at her excitedly setting a trap. The violent mood she had when she first came in miraculously disappeared.

It is not necessary for Meng Lianshu to die now. It is okay to kill him after having enough fun with this woman.

On the other side, Meng Lianshu, who was busy preparing for the birthday party, had no idea that he had just been to the gates of hell.

She and Madam Sun had already calculated her horoscope and even agreed on a date, and they were just waiting for the birthday party so that the Sun family could come and propose in front of everyone.

As the mistress, of course she had to make decisions on her children's marriage. Besides, the Sun family seemed to have a good reputation in the imperial city, so she didn't worry about giving people a chance to talk about it.

As for whether Jiang Wansang is willing?

Ah!

Marriage is a big matter, and it is not something that a junior like her can decide!

Meng Lianshu was very confident in her actions, especially since she had Jiang Gaoyuan's permission this time. She was even more confident and bold in doing it, so much so that she didn't even realize that some of her arrangements had been secretly tampered with.

In a blink of an eye, the birthday party arrived.

Because of Meng Lianshu's preference, the birthday banquet was naturally quite grand, and the Prime Minister's Mansion became bustling early in the morning.

Although Ting Sang Ge was also included in this birthday banquet, the people in the mansion still did not dare to provoke him easily, so the excitement in the front hall did not spread much.

It was not until Jiang Wansang had a good nap that she left the house after the housekeeper's timid invitation.

Seeing Jiang Wansang walking out lazily and attending her birthday party without any dressing up, and obviously not taking her, the mistress, seriously at all, Meng Lianshu became angry.

But she became even angrier when she thought about how this bastard, with no makeup on, looked more outstanding than the elegantly dressed ladies present.

Where on earth did Nanny Li pick up this bastard from? He actually has such a disgusting face!

A gloomy look flashed across Meng Lianshu's eyes, and she quickly put on the air of a mistress and apologized to the guests around her with a smile, "I'm sorry, Wansang has been spoiled by us since she was a child. I was rude and kept you waiting for so long."

As she spoke, she smiled and waved towards Jiang Wansang, "Wansang, why don't you come over and pay your respects to the ladies? We've all been here since early morning, but you insisted on sleeping in until now. I've sent for you several times, but it's all in vain. You need to apologize to everyone."

Her face was full of doting and loving care, but her words were accusing Jiang Wansang of being ignorant and not knowing the rules. She had sent people to call her so many times but she didn't come out, and she had left so many people waiting for her.
