The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

Shen Shijing pulled himself out of his thoughts and stared intently at Jiang Xianyue.

She felt somewhat awkward being stared at.

"What do you see me doing?"

Although the person in front of her was the destined one her master had mentioned, Jiang Xianyue should have let him take the place of Shen Qinglan in her previous life, marry him, and assist him. However, although their relationship was good, they were not that close.

In both her past and present lives, she was like a naive young girl who didn't understand emotions. In her past life, she didn't experience any heart-wrenching pain; she only felt that Shen Shijing's gaze made her want to look away.

Perhaps because they had mistaken each other for each other in their past lives, or perhaps because of their companionship on Wanggu Mountain, Jiang Xianyue was indeed more familiar with him and instinctively took a step back.

Shen Shijing snapped out of his daze and collected his thoughts.

"nothing!"

"What will you do if Su Yong dies?"

"Su Yong is dead, which may be a good thing. The eunuch Su in the palace will no longer feel that someone is controlling him. It seems that things are as I said, and that the eunuch Su was not unaware of the situation."

"It's just because of Su Yong's curse that I can't speak!"

Jiang Xianyue spoke eloquently.

"Should I go see Eunuch Su tomorrow?"

"Your Highness, since when did I become your subordinate, to be ordered around by you in everything!"

Jiang Xianyue's tone was somewhat reluctant.

"You didn't want to marry another prince, but you insisted on becoming the Crown Princess."

The title of Crown Princess isn't given lightly. I must see Miss Jiang's true abilities first!

Speaking of becoming the Crown Princess, it's not an absolute necessity. Although it's a good option, she can still return to her sect after repaying everything she owes Shen Shijing in advance.

Jiang Xianyue gritted her teeth, realizing how complicated the situation was.

"Okay, I'll go ask Eunuch Su for you!"

……

Jiang Xianyue didn't sleep well that night.

The events that occurred in the Star Palace were still vivid in her mind. In her previous life, she thought she understood Shen Qinglan, but she never expected that this man's guardedness would be so strong. She hadn't done anything, yet she was still schemed against and suspected like that.

As for Shen Qinglan talking about liking him, how could that be?

She checked the accounts of the mansion and found that they had taken action recently, liquidating many shops in the city and swiftly dismissing several managers.

You should know that the things her mother left behind were no longer what they used to be after all the destruction caused by the Jiang family over the years. By the time Jiang Xian Yue discovered them in her previous life, it was too late; almost everything that was meant to be taken over had already been taken.

She has been working swiftly and decisively these past two days, and has gained real power. She hired a new manager and reorganized the shop's business. As expected, business is doing well.

Qin Yu came looking for them early in the morning.

Jiang Ruyan followed cautiously behind, clearly having had a bad experience at the market.

"Jiang Xianyue, why did you fire the managers of the silk shop and the pharmacy? Do you know how embarrassing it was for me when I went to pick up my things today and they didn't even recognize me?"

"These belong to the Vice Minister's residence, how dare you?"

Jiang Xianyue's tone was cold.

"When did the shop that my mother left behind as dowry become part of the Vice Minister's mansion?"

It was my order that they were not allowed to give anything to the Vice Minister's residence. With so many years of deficit, you can take whatever you want. The servants and managers in the residence are having illicit dealings, secretly taking things in the master's name.

"This is all because you've been so indulgent!"

After Jiang Xianyue finished speaking, Qin Yu's expression also turned ugly.

“Those damned lackeys, they actually…”

“Aunt Qin, you are the ones who led the way in embezzling funds, so don’t blame others. I said it on the first day I returned: now that I’m back, it’s rightful for me to inherit my mother’s things.”

So, let's not worry about these things anymore!

After Jiang Xianyue finished speaking, she tidied herself up and stood up.

“Jiang Xianyue, I am the current mistress of the Vice Minister’s residence. How could the management of the household be entrusted to an unmarried girl!”

Go out and ask around; see if there's anyone else in the capital like this!

Jiang Xianyue was anxious about Eunuch Su's matter and didn't want to bother Qin Yu.

“I didn’t touch your power to manage the family; I only touched the things my mother left behind.”

Aunt Qin, stop wasting my breath. If I'm in a bad mood, where will Father find someone to marry into the royal family? Either let Father tell me he doesn't want me to marry into the royal family and wants my freedom back.

"Either stay here quietly and don't talk nonsense!"

Jiang Xianyue spoke calmly, leaving the two speechless with her words.

Why didn't they want to use force? But Jiang Xian Yue was very capable; she tried to take action several times, but failed each time.

……

At this moment, Jiang Xianyue had already arrived at the restaurant from that day.

When Eunuch Su opened the door, he looked very nervous.

“Miss Jiang, what's wrong? Did you ask Su Yong about that matter…”

Su Yong is dead!

Jiang Xianyue stood up and saw that Eunuch Su's face was pale.

Before Eunuch Su could speak, Jiang Xian Yue spoke first.

"Back then, it should have been Su Yong who entered the palace. You should have known Su Yong, but you were forced to become a eunuch and Su Yong's eyes in the palace."

Father-in-law, your rapid rise in rank has also been subject to many constraints.

Su Yong had cast a spell on his father-in-law; if the father-in-law disobeyed, he might even lose his life.

Upon hearing Jiang Xianyue reveal everything, Eunuch Su turned pale and immediately knelt down.

"My lady, I was forced into this. My original name was Lin Yu, and I was from the same hometown as Su Yong. But I never expected that Su Yong would trick me into being castrated and becoming a eunuch. And Su Yong somehow became the deputy steward of the Star Palace, and from then on, he rose to great heights."

This old servant had no choice but to obey them; as for the curses in the Crown Prince's residence, they were all their idea!

Jiang Xianyue simply stared coldly at Eunuch Su in front of her. It would be difficult for an ordinary person to deceive her.

This glance was merely an observation.

"Is there a way to break the Crown Prince's curse?"

Jiang Xianyue nodded.

"Let me think about it. The reason I called you here today is simply to tell you that you don't need to worry about the curse on you and Su Yong. I will help you remove it in a few days."

Keep this talisman close to your body; even if Su Yong dies, it won't harm you!

Eunuch Su kowtowed in gratitude and then left.

Shen Shijing lifted the curtain; he had been watching from there for a while.

"Su Yong is dead, the trail has gone cold!"

Shen Shijing's voice sounded somewhat annoyed, as if he was worried about what would happen next, but Jiang Xianyue smiled at Shen Shijing.

"Where is the clue broken? Isn't the clue right in front of you?"

This Eunuch Su… no, this Lin Yu, is the best witness. But right now, I need to go to the Star Palace again!

"Isn't he the one Su Yong harmed? Judging from his appearance, he knows nothing and is terrified of dying."

I never imagined that Eunuch Su, who holds such power in the palace, could be so cowardly!

As Shen Shijing was mocking, Jiang Xianyue coldly said, "Your Highness, can't you see that he is the one who started all of this!"
