As Pei Zhanzhou's right-hand man since childhood, Zhou Zhi works very quickly.

"Master, Miss Jiang was indeed drugged, but..."

Zhou Zhi hesitated for a moment before telling the truth exactly as he had found out, including the fact that Jiang Wansang took the blame for Jiang Zihan.

"...The illegitimate son of the Minister of War has died, and now everyone in the palace is looking for her everywhere."

Pei Zhanzhou stroked the book in the book with an inexplicable expression.

He was decisive in chopping off people's heads and was able to avoid numerous secret guards to enter Huilu Pavilion, but he was so stupid as to be used as a shield because of this little trick. It was really contradictory.

After a long while, Pei Zhanzhou instructed, "Send the person out in person and secretly send someone to keep an eye on her."

Zhou Zhi accepted the order and said, "Yes."

Jiang Wansang had no idea what the master and servant were planning. She put on her clothes, drank a bowl of hot soup, and just came out when she heard that Pei Zhanzhou had actually ordered Zhou Zhi to send her off personally, without even mentioning that he needed any reward for helping her.

She was surprised and more alert.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, especially for a suspicious villain like Pei Zhanzhou. This guy must have some ulterior motives!

After leaving Huilu Pavilion, Jiang Wansang tried to get some information out of Zhou Zhi.

But this man not only had a serious and indifferent expression, but was also extremely tight-lipped. No matter what Jiang Wansang asked, he remained silent like a mute.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the imperial garden.

There were quite a few people in the Imperial Garden, all of them were officials and their families who came to attend the palace banquet today.

As soon as she approached, Jiang Wansang heard someone mentioning her name.

"Jiang Wansang is so pitiful. She encountered an assassin while attending a banquet, and now she's been kidnapped by an assassin. Regardless of whether she can be found or not, her life is ruined."

Jiang Wansang subconsciously paused.

Was she kidnapped by an assassin?

When did this happen?

The two people who were talking came from a small path and did not notice Jiang Wansang's figure. They were still talking there.

"Why pity her? She deserves it!" A woman in a green skirt said with disdain, "If she hadn't been so shameless as to flirt with men, how could she have encountered an assassin and been kidnapped?"

"If you ask me, she's an adopted daughter of unknown origin, destined to marry a commoner. That's why she tried to seduce the playboy from the Minister of War's family at the palace banquet, hoping to continue being a noble lady in the imperial city!"

"Perhaps she was the one who killed the son of the Minister of War. He was unlucky enough to run into an assassin, and to save her life, she flattered the assassin and took the initiative to go with him. Otherwise, how could she have been abducted by the assassin without making any noise?"

The woman spoke with such confidence, as if she had seen it with her own eyes, that many people nodded in agreement with her.

At the corner, Zhou Zhi silently turned his head and looked over, but he didn't see any sign of anger from the person next to him.

This cold and indifferent look, which showed no emotion at all, actually made him feel that it was a little bit like his master's usual demeanor.

Jiang Wansang had no idea what the people around him were thinking. He looked at the woman who was talking and couldn't remember who she was for a long time.

The original owner had lived in seclusion in the Prime Minister's Mansion for more than ten years, and every day she was faced with endless learning of music, chess, calligraphy, painting and women's teachings. Except for allowing her to occasionally meet the seventh prince, with whom she was engaged, the Prime Minister's wife never allowed her to go out and make friends.

The original owner thought that this was a sign of the Prime Minister's wife's love for her, but Jiang Wansang understood that it was simply because the Prime Minister's wife felt that she was just a pawn and was not worthy of getting to know those noble ladies.

Since he couldn't remember this person's identity, Jiang Wansang didn't try to recall it any further.

She lifted her skirt and moved her ankles, but her movements lacked the grace of a lady from a noble family.

The next moment, she strode out, headed straight for the woman who was still throwing dirty water at her, and kicked her on the butt.

"Pfft!"

Just as everyone saw a figure walking out from the corner, before they could see who it was, they heard a loud sound of someone falling into the water.

"Ah—I can't swim! Help... Help..."

The woman who was struggling desperately in the pond suddenly stopped, and the air became silent.

She... stood up on her own.

The water level was only up to the thighs.

The awkward atmosphere was broken by Jiang Wansang's sneer.

Everyone finally reacted and looked at her in shock as she calmly lowered her skirt.

The woman in the pond also looked over, her expression doubting whether she had lost her mind. "Jiang Wansang, this is the imperial palace. You... you dare to kick me!"

Jiang Wansang crossed her arms over her chest, showing no reaction to the gazes around her.

What about the palace?

This guy was teasing her in front of her, and if she didn't kick him, she was afraid she would regret it so much that she wouldn't be able to sleep at night!

Jiang Wansang looked down at the woman with an innocent smile on his face. "I noticed your mouth stinks, and I was afraid you might offend someone in the palace, so I came to help you wash it. You're welcome."

"you……"

The woman pointed at Jiang Wansang and kept yelling “you, you, you” for a long time. Her face turned green with anger, and finally she could only glare at her maid angrily, “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pull this young lady up!”

The maidservant who reacted quickly joined forces with the palace maids to go down and pull the person out.

Jiang Wansang didn't stop them and even kindly made room for them, but her fingers under her sleeves moved.

Just as the woman was about to grab the maid's hand, a gust of wind "just happened" to blow towards her.

The woman's body swayed and she fell backwards, landing on her back with her feet in the air, and even her shoes flew off.

"puff--"

Some people couldn't help laughing, and others were laughing too, but they were holding it back for the sake of face.

Jiang Wansang didn't hold back and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha!"

As if afraid that the other person couldn't hear her, she made a trumpet shape with her hands at her mouth and laughed at the person in the pond.

People around: "..."

Is Jiang Wansang crazy?

"enough!"

An angry voice sounded familiar.

Jiang Wansang stopped smiling and turned around, only to see a woman in an orange dress walking quickly towards them.

The woman had a pretty face, and there was a touch of unrestrainedness and heroism between her brows, which was different from the noble women in the imperial city, giving people a feeling of vitality.

As soon as she appeared, everyone around her automatically made way for her, and even the sunlight shone on her at the right time, as if she was born to be the center of attention.

Jiang Wansang raised an eyebrow, and the smile on her face faded a little.

This is the real daughter that the Prime Minister’s Mansion found two months ago. She is the heroine of this world in the book and the natural enemy of this vicious female supporting role - Jiang Zihan.

Jiang Zihan walked up to her, his face filled with anger. "How could you be so vicious that you kicked a woman into a pond in public? Why don't you apologize to her now!"

Facing her questioning, Jiang Wansang didn't get angry. "If you want me to apologize, you can. But let her apologize to me first."

"What?" Jiang Zihan was shocked. "You did something wrong and you still want someone to apologize to you?"

Jiang Wansang raised her eyelids. "She spread rumors about me in public. Everyone knows how harsh her words were. Shouldn't I ask her to apologize?"

Jiang Zihan was speechless, obviously she had heard what was said just now.

But when she turned around and saw the woman who had just climbed out of the pond, covered in mud and looking pitiful, she felt pity for her.

"She just said a few words to you casually, but you kicked her into the water. You really went too far."

Jiang Zihan frowned, disapproving. "It was because of you that the Minister of War's son got into trouble. You were indeed abducted by assassins and couldn't be found. She was just stating the facts."

fact?

Jiang Wansang was so angry that she almost laughed.
