The evidence was conclusive, but Jiang Gaoyuan was unwilling to admit it and kept saying that someone must have wronged him.

He was not stupid and knew that now was the critical period to determine Han'er as the goddess. If he accepted it, all his efforts would be in vain.

Jiang Gaoyuan originally planned to insist that it was a slander and then have the Seventh Prince's people plead for him in the court. Even if there were more witnesses and evidence, the emperor would not really punish him.

But he didn't expect that a new witness would come forward and directly convict him.

Aunt Wei, the only concubine in the prime minister's mansion who gave birth to Jiang Gaoyuan's only son, ran to the Dali Temple to volunteer to testify that everything Li Ma said was true.

Not only that, she also took out the dying blood letter written by the concubine who died unjustly that year, which exposed all of Jiang Gaoyuan's crimes.

A concubine who had been dead for many years, had no relatives or friends, and no one even knew her name, who would know what her notes looked like, so this blood letter was naturally "real".

Now, no one will believe Jiang Gaoyuan no matter how much he cries out for justice.

The emperor was naturally furious when such a scandal broke out in the prime minister's family. He directly rebuked Jiang Gaoyuan: "Since you are so confused at your age, you should resign and return home to live a good life!"

Although there was no direct imperial decree of punishment, once this statement was made, if Jiang Gaoyuan did not voluntarily resign and return home, what might be waiting for him was an imperial decree to confiscate his property.

Jiang Gaoyuan’s future career is completely over!

After returning home, Jiang Gaoyuan was so angry that he smashed the entire main courtyard and immediately sent someone to call Aunt Wei, but his people searched everywhere but returned empty-handed.

Because at this time, Aunt Wei and Jiang Yanzhu had already moved to Tingsang Pavilion.

Aunt Wei was a smart person, and she certainly knew that what Jiang Wansang had said to her before made sense.

She could spend the rest of her life hiding like this, but Xiaoyan still has a long life ahead of her and it is impossible for her to live like this forever.

When Xiaoyan was born, Meng Lianshu and Liu almost teamed up to kill him, so she had no choice but to use her medical skills to make people believe that Xiaoyan was born with idiocy, and took him to her side to protect him.

She was also aware of the current situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion. No matter what the future outcome would be, no one in the Prime Minister's Mansion would protect them and their child.

So, she finally decided to take a gamble.

If she wins, she won't have to continue acting crazy and stupid with Xiaoyan, and her child will be able to learn to read and write like a normal person and live a good life.

If she loses, she will ask Master Pei to secretly send Xiaoyan away, and then change her name and start a new life.

Jiang Wansang certainly did not refuse Aunt Wei's surrender. She personally sent Aunt Wei and Jiang Yanzhu out of the imperial city and asked Liu Yi to help erase their traces.

All Aunt Wei wanted was a stable life for herself and her son for the rest of their lives. She had brought Jiang Wansang very generous rewards, so Jiang Wansang's return gift would naturally not be bad either.

With the things provided by Aunt Wei, they would no longer need help from mother and son in the future, so Jiang Wansang had to send the person away quickly.

Otherwise, if chaos really breaks out, I won’t be able to protect them.

Aunt Wei and her son disappeared inexplicably, and Jiang Gaoyuan had nothing to understand.

He never expected that he, the prime minister of a country, would be hurt by a dog he kept by his side!

Jiang Gaoyuan was so angry that he smashed the main courtyard and accidentally injured several servants in anger.

Prime Minister Jiang, who is considered humble and friendly by outsiders, finally tore off his hypocritical mask.

But he has been working hard for decades in order to climb to a higher position and gain more power. Of course, he will not give up because of such a small setback.

On the night he voluntarily submitted a letter of resignation, Jiang Gaoyuan secretly went to the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

No one knew what the two of them talked about, but the next day Jiang Gaoyuan obediently asked someone to pack up and prepare to leave the imperial city.

Since he has "resigned from office and returned home", he naturally will not continue to stay in the imperial city.

But with so many people in the family, moving the whole family would take more than a day or two, so the family was busy for many days.

It seemed as if Sang Ge was completely isolated from the Prime Minister's Mansion. There was no movement at all, as if he would not follow Jiang Gaoyuan.

Jiang Wansang did not move for a long time because she knew that Jiang Gaoyuan would never give in like this.

He must have gone to the Seventh Prince's Mansion that night to discuss countermeasures, and the only one who can help them turn things around at the moment is the "Goddess" Jiang Zihan.

Jiang Gaoyuan was so reluctant to leave because he really wanted Jiang Zihan to solidify her title of "Goddess of Heaven".

As long as Jiang Zihan is a celestial being and she is the future consort of the Seventh Prince, it doesn't matter if he is not the Prime Minister.

When the seventh prince comes to the throne, he will be the father-in-law of the emperor!

This status is much higher than that of the prime minister.

In order to confirm this identity, the memorials from the ministers in the court must be carefully controlled.

After such a long time, the "half account book" that Su Huanyu got from Feng Yi finally came in handy.

Jiang Wansang knew very well that Su Huanyu kept the list just for the purpose of using it to play a key role when he ascended the throne and reorganized the court. She didn't expect that he would use it in advance for Jiang Zihan.

It seems that the son of destiny is truly "deeply in love" with his destined heroine!

The real list is in Pei Zhanzhou's hands, so if Su Huanyu uses that "half account book", he will definitely be the one in trouble.

Jiang Wansang was very curious about how Pei Zhanzhou would use the real list.

With this man's intelligence, even if he didn't completely bring Su Huanyu down, he would definitely make him lose a lot of weight.

But what she didn't expect was that Pei Zhanzhou actually handed the real account book to Zhao Qing***.

Empress Zhaoqing wants to compete for that position, and what she wants to do most is to purge the current court, and that list is the starting point of what she wants to do.

Jiang Wansang also understood this, but she also knew how useful it would be to Pei Zhanzhou if she gave him the list.

Facing Jiang Wansang's doubts, Pei Zhanzhou did not explain, but asked: "When everything is settled, what are your plans?"

Jiang Wansang didn't understand why he asked this and looked at the person in front of him blankly for a moment.

Pei Zhanzhou didn't rush to answer her, but instead spoke of his own ideas. "I want to find a small mountain village with simple folk customs, build a house that's neither too big nor too small, and plant it with peach trees..."

That is my mother’s favorite flower.

He has had this dream since he was a child.

His past has been too bumpy for too long. From Beisheng to Nansu, there is no place that belongs to him.

He just wanted to find a place where he could live in peace and security after taking revenge and uncovering the truth of what happened back then.

Before Jiang Wansang appeared, he never dared to think about this idea, because he knew that what he was going to do might not allow him to live to think about the future.

But now he has changed his mind.

Revenge must be taken, the truth must be revealed, but lives don't necessarily have to be sacrificed.
