There were some things Jiang Wansang couldn't explain clearly, so in response to Zhao Zhizhi's questions, she simply said, "I have some suspicions, but without evidence, I'll just take it as a given that it's better to believe it than not!"

Zhao Zhizhi had followed her father in interrogating many prisoners, and she was very good at observing people's words and expressions. Of course, she could tell that Jiang Wansang was hiding something.

The other party was unwilling to say, and she couldn't ask too much, but Jiang Wansang raised such questions, suspecting that Jiang Zihan, the beneficiary, had directed and acted in a drama himself?

If she hadn't known Jiang Wansang before, Zhao Zhizhi might have thought that it was jealousy between sisters that made her have such suspicions.

But judging from the time they have been in contact, Jiang Wansang would not do such a thing.

Because she didn't seem to take Jiang Zihan seriously at all.

It has to be said that Zhao Zhizhi, who has always been bold, careful and good at observing people, has seen this point quite accurately.

Jiang Wansang really didn't take Jiang Zihan seriously. She took so much trouble to deal with her because she was not afraid of Jiang Zihan as a person, but her "luck" as the heroine.

How strong Jiang Zihan's luck is can be seen from this incident.

Because the "criminal" was brought to justice, the entire imperial city was praising the bravery and wisdom of the second daughter of the Jiang family, showing that she was truly a woman who was no less capable than any man.

Others said that the criminal was actually committing a crime at the time and had kidnapped a woman and was about to leave, but was stopped by the second daughter of the Jiang family. She not only rescued the woman, but also used her superb medical skills to heal her wounds.

And this woman who didn't even have a name was Jiang Xiaodie, who went out with Jiang Zihan every night as bait these days.

On the night Jiang Xiaodie was carried back, the noise made by the second house reached Tingsang Pavilion, but the next morning, Liu, who had been clamoring for justice for her nominal daughter, suddenly became quiet.

Now the servants in Tingsang Pavilion are very obedient, so Jiang Wansang can also let them find out what is happening in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The reason why the second house did not make a fuss was because Jiang Gaoyuan personally ordered two boxes of jewelry to be sent to the second house. He also said that Jiang Zihan had made great contributions in catching the criminals, and the Dali Temple would report the matter directly to the court. If the second house made a fuss again, Jiang Xiaodie's name would no longer appear on the memorial submitted to the court.

The second uncle of the Jiang family has been the chief eunuch of the Imperial Observatory for so many years. Being able to show up in front of the emperor is a great thing for his career. What's more, the eldest wife also gave them so many good things as compensation, so of course they happily accepted them.

As for Jiang Xiaodie, who is still lying in bed unconscious, and whose life or death is unknown...

Who would care about a concubine's daughter?

Instead, Jiang Wansang asked, "What does the doctor say about Jiang Xiaodie's current condition?"

Zhao Zhizhi in the book died on the spot. Could it be that because someone else was involved, the development of the story would be different from that in the book?

Zhe Liu had already inquired about the second house's situation and immediately said, "The second house didn't hire a doctor. I heard that Miss Tang's injury was treated by the second lady herself, and she was also in charge of the subsequent dressing changes and treatments."

"Jiang Zihan is personally responsible?" Jiang Wansang was stunned.

With Jiang Zihan's personality, the most she could do was to take out some medicine that was not easily available outside, and then spread the word about her concern for Jiang Xiaodie. It was absolutely impossible for her to personally serve someone.

There must be something fishy going on here!

Jiang Wansang put down the melon seeds he was eating, clapped his hands, and stood up. "Let's go check on my cousin."

Of course, you can't visit a patient empty-handed, so Jiang Wansang asked Zheliu to bring the plate of pastries on the table, which had a lot of sugar on it and tasted a bit greasy.

The second branch of the family lived in the north of the prime minister's residence. Jiang Xiaodie's yard was not too remote, and the original owner would often come here when they had a "good relationship".

Jiang Wansang walked into the yard according to her memory and happened to run into Jiang Zihan coming out.

Seeing her, Jiang Zihan frowned, his face showing obvious dislike, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Wansang's smile remained unchanged. "I heard that my cousin was seriously injured, so of course as her nominal sister, I had to come and see her."

She carefully observed Jiang Zihan's expression and spoke slowly, "I heard that the second house didn't hire a doctor for my cousin, but instead asked you, the daughter of the prime minister, to serve by her bedside. Are they blaming you for not protecting my cousin well?"

Jiang Zihan subconsciously looked at the room behind him, a hint of guilt flashed across his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.

"It was indeed my fault that I failed to protect my cousin." She looked remorseful. "I didn't expect that criminal to have such good skills. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have agreed to her request no matter what. Otherwise, she wouldn't have run around in fear and got hurt by the criminal. It's all my fault."

He said "it's all my fault", but every word he said was an attempt to distance himself from the matter.

Jiang Wansang had no interest in exposing this low-level green tea trick and asked directly, "Can I go in and see my cousin now?"

She thought Jiang Zihan would stop her. After all, judging from her behavior just now, it was obvious that something was wrong.

But Jiang Zihan said, "Of course."

She took the initiative to move aside and said, "My cousin is still unconscious. Just go in and take a look. Don't touch her."

Jiang Wansang looked at her with a little surprise, but said nothing and walked into the house.

Jiang Xiaodie's boudoir is not big, but there are books everywhere, which is quite consistent with her usual image of "unappreciated talent".

Jiang Wansang was not interested in touring the room. She took a quick glance and then turned her attention to the person lying on the bed.

Jiang Xiaodie was wearing a white inner garment and lying on the bed with a pale face. The rise and fall of her chest was very small, but at least it proved that she was indeed alive.

Jiang Wansang didn't hesitate and walked straight forward to lift the thin blanket off her body.

Although she didn't like Jiang Xiaodie, she wouldn't attack her under such circumstances. She just wanted to see if there was anything wrong with her.

Jiang Xiaodie was, after all, a pampered young lady, and had many scratches and bruises of varying sizes on her body. However, compared to the injuries Jiang Wansang had suffered in the apocalypse, applying medicine to these wounds was a waste.

Only the lower abdomen was wrapped in thick gauze, and there was a large area of ​​blood seeping out, which looked very serious.

Jiang Wansang wanted to take a look, but just as she reached out her hand, a shout rang out from behind: "What are you doing!"

Jiang Zihan ran over like the wind, pushed Jiang Wansang away, and opened his arms to block the bed.

Meeting her wary gaze, Jiang Wansang remained calm, "I just wanted to see what kind of serious injury she had suffered to fall into a coma."

Jiang Zihan glared at her, "When did you learn medical skills?"

"I don't know how!" Jiang Wansang answered calmly, "I'm just taking a look."

"You..." Jiang Zihan seemed to have a breath stuck in his throat and didn't know what to say.

Jiang Wansang remained calm. She leaned over slightly and glanced at the bed. "What's with the wound on her stomach?"

Jiang Zihan's eyes flickered, "Why...why are you asking this?"
