Pei Zhanzhou lowered his eyes, his face expressionless, but his fingertips tapped lightly on the teacup in his hand.

This woman kept saying things like "Father and Mother must still love me" and "I must have done something wrong", but every word she said revealed how the Prime Minister's Mansion treated her and Jiang Zihan differently, and how difficult her life was as the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter.

Perhaps these ladies in the boudoir only regarded her words as interesting gossip, but the imperial city was not short of shrewd and suspicious foxes.

Once these words spread, Jiang Gaoyuan would be bitten by the lice.

Zhou Zhi, who had also been listening to a lot of Jiang Wansang's words, couldn't help but wonder, "Why do I feel like Miss Jiang is deliberately causing trouble for the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Pei Zhanzhou didn't respond, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

It seems that this "Jiang Wansang" is not only not someone sent by the Jiang family to approach him, but also has a grudge against the Jiang family.

Pei Zhanzhou retracted his gaze and said, "Let's investigate the incident where the Prime Minister's daughter was taken away by mistake."

Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment, and combined with what Jiang Wansang had just said, something suddenly flashed through his mind.

He was slightly startled and subconsciously looked down at the person who was still chatting enthusiastically with someone, and quickly accepted the order.

But he was in no hurry to do it, because they were here today to do other things.

*

Jiang Wansang said these words today to pave the way for revealing the truth of "the Prime Minister's daughter was taken away by mistake" in the future, so she mainly talked about her situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion before Jiang Zihan came back.

By the time Jiang Zihan vaguely realized something was wrong and came over, she had almost finished her words and changed the subject.

Jiang Zihan had a hunch that something was wrong and wanted to ask other people, but the people present were all daughters of wealthy families who had been carefully raised. How could they gossip about others in front of them?

Jiang Wansang had been sitting there, looking at Jiang Zihan with a faint smile, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

What Jiang Zihan hated the most was that she looked at him like that. He frowned unhappily, but because of the occasion, he didn't lose his temper.

She glared at Jiang Wansang, then snorted coldly and left.

Because of Jiang Zihan's appearance, the people who were originally chatting happily suddenly felt a little awkward and soon dispersed in groups of three or four.

Jiang Wansang believed that they would slowly spread his words, so he naturally did not stop them. He planned to change places and wait for the Autumn Banquet to begin.

Unexpectedly, just as she stood up, she heard a chuckle from behind her, "Heh, you've become much more interesting than before."

Jiang Wansang was startled and turned around to see a figure walking out from behind the maple tree next to her.

She was a woman wearing a long turquoise dress, with her wrists wrapped with cloth ribbons. Her simple yet dignified bun made her look very capable, and there was a hint of heroism between her brows.

Jiang Wansang searched through the original owner's memories and recognized that this was the host of the autumn banquet, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, and one of her targets today - Zhao Zhizhi.

Jiang Wansang took the initiative to walk over, "Miss Zhao, were you praising me just now?"

Zhao Zhizhi crossed her arms and looked at her with interest. "They say the Jiang family's two daughters, who were mistakenly adopted, get along well and have a deep sisterly bond. But why do I see two good sisters who despise each other and are secretly trying to ruin each other's reputation?"

Jiang Wansang didn't seem at all embarrassed by having her thoughts exposed. She shrugged and said, "I just told the truth. Whether others will think badly of her reputation because of this is not something I can control."

Zhao Zhizhi was stunned by his frank, straightforward and innocent look.

She has always been sensitive and had noticed something was amiss between the two daughters of the Jiang family, but that was someone else's private matter, and she certainly wouldn't be so bored as to interfere.

The two sentences I just said were because I saw that Jiang Wansang had changed so much from before, so I couldn't help but say them.

She glanced at Jiang Wansang a few more times, not paying attention to the conversation between the sisters. Instead, she spoke curiously, "Miss Jiang seems very different from before."

Jiang Wansang knew how many people had said this before, so she remained calm. "People change, and even rabbits bite when they're angry. After suppressing it for so many years, I suddenly don't want to endure it anymore."

Zhao Zhizhi obviously didn't expect her to say such a thing, and the look in her eyes changed when she looked at her.

Although Jiang Wansang had the talent and demeanor of a daughter of the prime minister, she seemed rigid and lifeless, like a vase that was carefully carved just to look good on a shelf.

But now she still has the same face, but her eyes and temperament have become completely different, as if a soul has suddenly been injected into an empty shell.

Jiang Wansang like this is much more interesting than before.

The smile on Zhao Zhizhi's face was more sincere, as if she was relieved. "You are doing well this way."

Jiang Wansang had come here today on purpose to get close to Zhao Zhizhi, but when he saw her attitude towards him, he suddenly felt confused.

"Although the others don't say it on the surface, they are somewhat disliked by me, a fake adopted daughter. But Miss Zhao seems to be different from them?"

Even if it was her nature and she was kind by nature, there was no reason for her to look so sincere in wishing the best for someone who was practically a stranger.

Zhao Zhizhi's expression darkened. She stared at Jiang Wansang for a long moment before finally looking away. "The banquet is about to begin. Let's go."

After saying that, she walked away.

Jiang Wansang was left staring at her back, feeling confused.

Whether it was the original owner's memory or the records in the book, Zhao Zhizhi and the original owner had no intersection.

But the way Zhao Zhizhi looked at her just now clearly showed that there was something she didn't know.

However, at least it can be seen that Zhao Zhizhi has no hostility towards her, which makes it much easier for her to do things later.

Jiang Wansang also followed.

The autumn banquet invited not only the daughters of wealthy families, but also many young masters.

But in public, there is a difference between men and women, so everyone consciously sits separately, with a clear distance between them.

Jiang Wansang casually glanced across and happened to see a familiar face.

That was the face that the original owner regarded as the only light in his heart, and had been thinking about it for decades.

After being in the book for so long, this is the first time Jiang Wansang has seen Su Huanyu.

He is worthy of being the author's favored son of fortune. Just that evil and charming face has charmed countless people.

But Jiang Wansang just felt disgusted when she looked at it.

She turned her eyes away in disgust, but Su Huanyu just happened to turn his head towards her and frowned instantly when he saw her figure.

In the past, whenever the two of them were at the same party, Jiang Wansang would take the initiative to approach him, and today would definitely be no exception.

He had actually gotten used to it over the years, but ever since he found out that Zi Han was the person he had been thinking about for many years, and that she was the one he was originally engaged to, he suddenly couldn't hide his disgust for Jiang Wansang.

Su Huanyu originally planned to turn around and avoid it, but as soon as he raised his foot, he thought of what Zi Han had said to him in the City God Temple not long ago.

Jiang Wansang is now like a madman, and he even dares to attack Zi Han. He must seek justice for Zi Han!
