Jiang Wansang was drunk and was sent back by the carriage from the Imperial Master's Mansion in the middle of the night. Although no outsiders saw it, it caused quite a stir in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Jiang Zihan was taken away by the Dali Temple and has not been released yet. Meng Lianshu was so anxious that she cried several times. But when she heard about this, the tears she had just held back flowed again.

"Master, the Imperial Master used to treat Han'er differently, but ever since Jiang Wansang showed up, his attitude towards Han'er has completely changed." Meng Lianshu said angrily, "Jiang Wansang must have said something to the Imperial Master, relying on the fact that she saved his life."

Jiang Gaoyuan frowned, and although he didn't say anything, his expression clearly showed his agreement.

After a moment's contemplation, he spoke, "A favor will eventually run out. With Master Pei's temperament, he won't tolerate it forever. When Master Pei tires of it, Jiang Wansang won't dare to act so arrogantly anymore."

He had plenty of ways to make his adopted daughter obedient without any support.

Hearing that they had to wait until Imperial Preceptor Pei got tired of it, Meng Lianshu became even more heartbroken. "My poor Han'er... Master, since Jiang Wansang can still speak in front of the Imperial Preceptor, let her go and talk to him and ask him to have Han'er come back soon."

"That Dali Temple dungeon is no place for human beings! Han'er has suffered so much before, why does she have to endure this too! Wuwuwu..."

Jiang Gaoyuan was troubled by her crying, but he knew that asking Jiang Wansang to plead for him was the best way at the moment.

He frowned and rubbed his temples. "Don't cry. I'll go find Jiang Wansang tomorrow. The Prime Minister's Mansion has raised her for so many years. It's time for her to repay him."

Over the years, he knew very well how much Jiang Wansang longed for the attention of the couple.

Although Jiang Wansang has become bolder and more arrogant because of her backing, she is ultimately just a young woman with little knowledge. As long as they soften their attitude a little, it will be easy to control her.

Jiang Gaoyuan was very confident about this, so he never expected that he would go to Tingsang Pavilion in such a rage but couldn't even get through the door.

But it was Lin Tong who stopped them. Even though his face was twisted with anger, he didn't dare to just rush in.

At this time, Jiang Wansang had just woken up from a hangover.

She clearly remembered every detail of what she did in the Imperial Master's Mansion yesterday.

Ok……

After she got drunk, she was really brave.

Jiang Wansang rubbed his temples, drank the sobering soup that Zheliu had prepared in advance, and then got up to wash.

When she heard that Jiang Gaoyuan had come to Tingsang Pavilion, she knew why without even thinking, and she had no intention of paying any attention to him at all.

If she has this time, she might as well "care" about Jiang Zihan.

After being imprisoned in the Dali Temple, Jiang Zihan kept crying out for injustice and refused to admit that he knew the "criminal".

The Dali Temple had no evidence to prove that she had hired someone to act as a "criminal", but it had been confirmed that the person was not the real criminal. Jiang Zihan's act of accidentally killing someone had changed its nature, so the Dali Temple would naturally not let him go easily.

So during this period of time, Jiang Zihan has been living in the Dali Temple dungeon.

Because of this, everyone in the imperial city was discussing whether Jiang Zihan hired a killer to act out a crime or was being wrongly accused.

When everyone was discussing the matter most intensely, Jiang Wansang asked Lin Tong to keep an eye on the movements in the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

When she set up this plan at the beginning, she was not targeting just Jiang Zihan.

Lin Tong’s main task was to protect Jiang Wansang, so the affairs of the Seventh Prince’s Mansion naturally had to be handed over to other people in the Imperial Master’s Mansion.

When Pei Zhanzhou heard that Jiang Wansang was going to keep an eye on the Seventh Prince's Mansion, he guessed that she was going to take action against Su Huanyu, but he also had doubts in his heart.

Su Huanyu is not a fool since he has been able to hide for so many years. Would he expose himself for Jiang Zihan, whom he has only known for a short time?

How could he know that when the heroine is in trouble, the hero will never stand idly by, and even if he knows it is a trap, he will take the initiative to fall into it. This is the love between the hero and heroine in the novel.

Pei Zhanzhou couldn't understand why Jiang Wansang was so confident, but he intuitively felt that if she dared to do this, she must be absolutely sure.

After pondering for a moment, Pei Zhanzhou stood up and walked to the bookshelf beside him, and took out a wooden plaque from a small box.

There were several bloodstains on the wooden token, and a clear word "Yu" was engraved in the middle. It was the token he had used to test Su Huanyu before.

This thing should be put to real use.

On the other hand, under the increasingly intense public opinion, Jiang Gaoyuan had to go to the Dali Temple in person to try to get Jiang Zihan out.

As long as people leave the Dali Temple, all rumors can become lies.

But the Dali Temple refused to release him, and even said, "The Imperial Master has instructed that this case must be handled impartially. The Prime Minister, please don't make things difficult for us."

Jiang Gaoyuan's first reaction was what Jiang Wansang had said to Master Pei. He ran to Tingsang Pavilion angrily and called Meng Lianshu to join him.

But the two came several times, and were stopped outside the door by Lin Tong every time.

What made Jiang Gaoyuan even more angry was that not only were people on the streets discussing how "Miss Jiang hired someone to act out a crime and then killed someone to silence them", but there were also many memorials impeaching him in the court.

Fortunately, Jiang Gaoyuan had been an official for many years and had long guessed that someone would use this incident to impeach him. He immediately knelt down in fear and trepidation, "It's all your fault that I was soft-hearted. Thinking that this child had been living away from home since he was young, I was reluctant to discipline him strictly."

"But Han'er has a good character. I believe she would not do such a thing. Your Majesty, please be clear-headed!"

Jiang Zihan had been back for less than half a year, so Jiang Gaoyuan actually had no idea what her character was like.

But the Dali Temple has been arresting the person for so long without any news, which means that they have no evidence to directly convict him.

In this case, as a father, he naturally has to believe in his children.

Sure enough, the emperor did not blame him for this. Instead, he ordered the Dali Temple to investigate the matter as soon as possible.

Jiang Gaoyuan secretly rejoiced that he had escaped, but before he could completely relax, he was surrounded by a group of people at his doorstep after leaving court.

"The Prime Minister is fair and honest, and loves the people like his own children. Please do not shield Jiang Zihan, and investigate her abuse of power and her disregard for human life!"

A group of people knelt at the gate of the prime minister's residence, earnestly requesting Jiang Gaoyuan to deal with their daughter, which made Jiang Gaoyuan in the carriage so angry that his face became gloomy and ugly.

He wanted to go straight into the palace, but the people blocked the gate. If he left like that, he didn't know what the impeachment memorial would look like in the court tomorrow.

In the end, Jiang Gaoyuan could only suppress his anger and got off the carriage with a smile on his face.

At the wonton stall across the street from the prime minister's residence, Jiang Wansang blew on the hot wontons while admiring Jiang Gaoyuan's stiff smile as he tried to maintain his reputation.

Jiang Gaoyuan is indeed an old fox. Even when forced by so many people, he did not admit the crime on behalf of Jiang Zihan. Instead, he said ambiguously that if Jiang Zihan really made a mistake, he would never tolerate it.

It seems that he doesn't absolutely trust his own daughter in his heart.

Jiang Wansang just found it ridiculous.

For the sake of his daughter Jiang Zihan, Jiang Gaoyuan personally arranged a drama of real and fake daughter more than ten years ago. She thought he cared about his daughter very much, but it turned out that when it came to his own interests, he was just like that.

Jiang Wansang sneered and was about to eat the wontons that had finally cooled down in the spoon when she suddenly heard Jiang Gaoyuan mention her.
