Jiang Changtian returned from the academy today and learned from Lin Shuyun that Qin Niangzi had entered the palace. He seemed to have expected it and was not very surprised.

Lin Shuyun thought this person was really something. Even if he had guessed it, he should at least offer some emotional value while he was just enjoying the gossip.

Unexpectedly, I was given a bombshell scoop before going to sleep, and it was incredibly shocking.

The second prince and his father's concubine, tsk tsk tsk.

By the way, should we give Auntie a bite of this melon?

"Yes, it's a message from Coal Ball." Jiang Changtian hadn't expected the Second Prince to be so bold.

Consort Lan was also pregnant.

If he didn't have such special abilities, he wouldn't have been able to find out so much about what was going on inside the palace.

"Coal Ball, I had completely forgotten about that kid if you hadn't mentioned it. I thought he was still in the space, but I didn't expect him to be out there running wild." Lin Shuyun said as she went into the space and brought the wolf cub out.

After the wolf cubs ran out, they circled around Lin Shuyun's face, wagging their tails happily.

Lin Shuyun patted its head. "Little thing, we told you to go with your parents back then, but you wouldn't. Now look what's happened, you're all alone as a wolf. Coal Ball isn't here either, and there's no one to play with you."

Whether the wolf cub understood or not, it just kept grinning foolishly around Lin Shuyun. It had grown quite a bit recently, becoming plump and strong with shiny fur; you couldn't tell it was a wolf unless you looked closely.

Seeing that Yunyun had gone to talk to the wolf and hadn't even looked at him changing clothes, Jiang Changtian felt a little jealous: "Why did you let this stupid dog out? It will scare people if it runs around."

“You said it yourself, it’s a dog. I have three children at home when I go out. If I leave it at home to guard the house, it won’t run away.”

As Lin Shuyun spoke, she looked up and saw that Jiang Changtian was already dressed in black.

The tight-fitting clothes accentuated her figure perfectly. Lin Shuyun raised an eyebrow. "Going out to steal in the middle of the night?"

He immediately made a shushing gesture as soon as he finished speaking.

somebody is coming.

Hearing a soft knock, Jiang Changtian didn't come out of the house, so Lin Shuyun went to open the door.

"Is it Lady Lin?"

The two men stood at the door, and the older one spoke in a low voice, "It is really presumptuous of you to visit so late at night. Lady Qin sent word that she wanted something to eat, so we servants made this trip. It is inconvenient to come during the day because there are too many people around."

"Is this what Auntie wants? Wait a moment." Lin Shuyun said and went into the kitchen.

She had used up a lot of the pickled vegetables she had made before, so she could only take a small basket into her space and pick some of the small green vegetables she had grown herself, along with two pears.

The eunuch took the basket and was dumbfounded. "This...isn't this too little?"

I made a special trip from the palace, and all I got were two bunches of green vegetables and two pears, and that was it?

"We don't have that many vegetables left at home. The ones we planted in the backyard have just sprouted. Oh, and there's a jar of wine too."

Lin Shuyun thought for a moment, "Let's bring one for Auntie too."

Just as it was taken out, Old Man Xu ran out, grabbed the wine jar, and exclaimed, "Goodness, Yun girl, didn't you lie to me and say there wasn't any left? No way, this is mine!"

Lin Shuyun asked twice, but Old Man Xu just wouldn't give it to her and ran off with it in his arms.

Lin Shuyun shrugged. "Alright, you saw that the old lady didn't give any. Go back and tell your aunt that there aren't any more for now, maybe next time."

"Yes." The eunuch, carrying the basket, left awkwardly.

On the carriage back to the palace, the young eunuch couldn't help but ask, "Godfather, which empress's niece is this woman? This is so stingy, sending only this little bit of stuff into the palace? No one would even care if she were thrown away."

And which empress is so poor that her family lives in such a dilapidated place?

The older eunuch scolded, "Shut up! Do you think you can just gossip about your master's affairs? As a servant, you must never look down on others, or you won't even know how you died."

This was personally ordered by Eunuch Wei, who served the Emperor.

"Godfather, this servant will remember."

inside the room.

Lin Shuyun was talking about the two eunuchs when she asked, "Were those really people sent by my aunt? How could she have so many people when she just entered the palace?"

If it weren't for my aunt, who else would come all the way here asking for food?

Jiang Changtian thought for a moment, "It's unlikely that someone is guarding it. It's probably that person's. Aunt should know about it."

"Yunyun, what if..."

"I know what you're going to say. Don't worry, your aunt is here to protect you, everything will be fine."

Jiang Changtian's only worry was that the emperor would take his anger out on him.

If the emperor truly wanted to kill Lady Qin, why would he risk his life to leave the palace late at night to meet someone? He probably sent assassins from the very beginning.

"where are you going?"

Lin Shuyun scrutinized Jiang Changtian's night clothes. "On this dark and windy night, are you planning to commit murder and arson?"

Jiang Changtian said in a low voice, "I'm going to the Zhang family. I suspect they have evidence."

All the cats that had previously entered the Zhang family's residence were driven out. It is said that the Chief Minister Zhang disliked cats, so no one in the mansion was allowed to keep them.

Unable to find out the information, he had no choice but to go there in person.

"Why don't you not go? You stay home and watch the house, and I'll go run the errand." Lin Shuyun felt it would be safer for her to go.

"Yunyun, I can't let you take such a risk. Stay home and wait for my news." Jiang Changtian pulled her back.

Lin Shuyun said, "Why don't we go together? If we die, we can be a pair of ghost lovers in the afterlife."

Jiang Changtian immediately covered her mouth with his, only releasing her after a while, "Don't talk nonsense,"

Lin Shuyun changed into an inconspicuous outfit and went out with Jiang Changtian.

Old Xu, who was happily drinking in his room, muttered something and continued drinking.

……

……

"Master, it's so late, you should get some rest."

Zhang Family Backyard

Zhang Xiucheng returned very late today. Madam Zhang invited him to her room under the pretext of having something to discuss. After finishing their business, she asked him to stay.

"No need, I have things to do. You should get some sleep." Zhang Xiucheng said and left.

Madam Zhang's expression immediately changed.

"That vixen Guan Suying is so old, yet she's shameless and still manages to seduce the master so much that he can't let her go!"

"I just don't understand. Is a pretty face really that important? Why can't you forget her after all these years?"

Do you really think she doesn't know? She's been going out early and coming home late lately all because of that bitch Guan Suyi.

That bitch moved out of the Guan family's house; she's trying to seduce some man.

Madam Zhang's personal maidservant said, "Madam, it's normal for men to be lustful. Once they get what they want, they lose their novelty after a while. No one can shake your position as the legal wife. Besides, she's just a widow now and can't cause any trouble. Why are you angry?"

"Hmph, that bitch better not fall into my hands. I'll see how I deal with her then, you shameless slut who's desperate for a man!"

Jiang Changtian lay on the roof, his face gloomy, his knuckles cracking.

Lin Shuyun had already opened a small hole and poured the things in her hand into it.

"Ah!"

"What is this? Why does it taste like this?" Mrs. Zhang suddenly felt a bit choked.

Then her face began to flush and her breathing became rapid.
