Ling Qingwan has the support of the General's Mansion behind her. As long as the General's Mansion doesn't collapse, it doesn't matter if the Marquis' Mansion collapses. Now in Ling Feng's eyes, Ling Qingwan is a person with a vicious heart.
He did not realize that the person who should be blamed for the current state of the Marquis' Mansion was him, not Ling Qingwan.
After hearing Ling Feng's words, Old Madam Ling shook her head.
“Even if the Marquis’ Mansion collapses, we can stand up again. The foundation laid by your father is not so fragile. So I told you to cheer up. Now that villains are in power, we should be more careful and not let people like Ling Qingwan succeed.” Old Madam Ling had a vicious look in her eyes. While pulling Ling Feng’s hand, her eyes were turbid and flashed with deep meaning.
Nanny Li was waiting on the side. When she accidentally saw this scene, she was so frightened that she trembled all over and almost couldn't stand.
How long has it been since I last saw the old lady's fierce gaze? Nanny Li thought that the last time was probably when the old man was fighting for power with the side branches.
Madam Ling and Ling Feng were still talking. Nanny Li knew that she was in the way by standing there, so she quietly withdrew.
"What's wrong? You look dazed and confused."
Just as they left the yard, Nanny Zhang passed by. She was also a sharp-eyed person and immediately noticed that something was wrong with Nanny Li's expression, so she asked casually.
Nanny Li shook her head.
"It's been much colder at night than during the day these days, so you should wear more clothes and take care of yourself," Nanny Zhang advised.
Nowadays, people leave the mansion and those who remain are mostly those who have stayed in the mansion for a long time and have feelings for the mansion. Nanny Zhang and Nanny Li have been serving in the mansion since they were young, and they have been there for a full thirty years. Nanny Zhang treats Nanny Li with a feeling of mutual appreciation, and speaks to her much more gently than usual.
"I understand." A smile appeared on Nanny Li's lips, her eyebrows curved, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were as deep as ravines.
After Nanny Zhang left, Nanny Li watched her figure gradually walking away, and suddenly she felt emotional.
They used to be innocent young men, but now they can't stand the wind. They are old after all.
People cannot refuse to accept aging.
…
I thought the matter of Ye Yun had come to an end, at least it proved that he was not dead. But something happened again.
At that time, Ling Xiao and Ling Qingwan came back after visiting Ling Shenshi. Before the two had time to separate, Qingfeng trotted all the way and rushed up to them.
"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?" Ling Xiao frowned.
There have been a series of accidents during this period, and he was in a tense mood. The slightest movement would make him nervous involuntarily.
"Master, Miss, I just went shopping and passed by the general's mansion. The guard at the gate said that General Shen was asked to go to the Ministry of Justice early in the morning and has not returned yet." Qingfeng hurriedly told the two of them what happened.
"Ministry of Justice?" Ling Qingwan was shocked.
She turned her head and looked at Ling Xiao, who also had a bewildered look on his face.
"Why are the people from the Ministry of Justice looking for my grandfather for any reason?" Ling Qingwan seemed to be asking Qingfeng, but also seemed to be talking to herself.
Mentioning the Ministry of Justice reminded Ling Qingwan of what had happened in the past few days. But the case of Ye Yun had already been solved, and the Jingzhao Yin Mansion should have closed the case a few days ago, so why did it go to the Ministry of Justice
But if it was something else, that would be even more wrong. There was nothing in the General's Mansion that she didn't know. In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts flashed through Ling Qingwan's mind.
"Before dawn in the morning, the people from the Ministry of Justice went to Jingzhao Yinfu and took away a stack of files. Then they came to the General's Mansion to ask for help. The guards were afraid that it might affect Ye Yun, so they asked me to come back and inform the young master and young lady. If General Shen were in danger, the young master and young lady would have a plan to deal with it."
"People in the Ministry of Justice do things according to the emperor's wishes. My father was demoted from a marquis to a sixth-rank official because he secretly kept the daughter of a guilty minister. Besides, my grandfather did nothing wrong, so he won't be in danger for the time being." Ling Xiao frowned and fell into deep thought.
At least we know that Shen Chengzhou is not in danger at the moment. But if someone gets involved, we don't know if something big will happen.
"Qingfeng, did they tell you whether the Jingzhao Yinfu asked the Ministry of Justice to get the file, or the Ministry of Justice sent people to get it themselves?" Ling Qingwan asked.
It can now be basically concluded that the case the Ministry of Justice is dealing with is Ye Yun's case.
The identity of the corpse has been revealed, but it still attracted the attention of the Ministry of Justice. I don’t know who has more face, Ye Yun or Shen Chengzhou.
"No." Qingfeng thought about it and shook his head helplessly. "I only know that someone from the Ministry of Justice came to Jingzhao Yinfu and took away a file. As for why they came, I have no idea."
Ling Qingwan took a deep breath and her face looked even worse.
Noticing something strange, Ling Xiao ordered Qing Feng to retreat.
"What's wrong, Wanwan? Have you thought of anything?" Ling Xiao knew that he was not as smart as Ling Qingwan, but he wanted to help Ling Qingwan solve her problems and didn't want her to keep things in her heart all the time.
"I don't know what's going on." Ling Qingwan sighed helplessly.
It was because of her ignorance that she was afraid.
Ling Xiao was worried about whether Shen Chengzhou would be in danger, and he felt distressed when he saw Ling Qingwan in such distress. After thinking for a while, he decided to ask Wei Xun for help.
"Brother!" Ling Qingwan stepped forward and stopped Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao was puzzled. He lowered his head slightly and looked into Ling Qingwan's eyes.
"Don't go look for the Seventh Prince." Ling Qingwan said to Ling Xiao solemnly.
"The Seventh Prince is of noble status and is a member of the palace. If he shows up, the Ministry of Justice will not dare to refuse to release him." No matter what Ling Xiao thought, it was most appropriate to ask Wei Xun for help now.
He had a good relationship with Wei Xun, so it was not difficult to ask for help, just ask. But Ling Qingwan was different, she always had to think more.
"We still don't know what happened and why the Ministry of Justice wants to invite my grandfather. If we blindly let the Seventh Prince come forward, what if there is someone behind Ye Yun who uses this incident as a handle to defeat us?" Ling Qingwan patiently analyzed the pros and cons with Ling Xiao. "Besides, we don't know how deep this is. If we let the Seventh Prince wade into this muddy water, it will be hard for you and me if he is implicated."
She doesn't want to be called a jinx again, Ling Qingwan thought. Of course, she wouldn't say this in front of Ling Xiao.
"Then what should we do now?" The only solution he could think of was rejected by Ling Qingwan, and Ling Xiao was very embarrassed.
"Do nothing, wait and see, and wait for grandpa to come back." Ling Qingwan said softly.
We have to figure things out before we can come up with a plan. Ling Xiao was a little too simple-minded. He didn't know that the most terrifying thing was not what was on the surface, but what was hidden underground.
The two of them immediately went to the general's mansion.
The streets were bustling with people, and the city of Tokyo was still the same city of Tokyo. The changes in the Marquis' Mansion had not affected it in the slightest.
The smell of sauce cake wafted into her nose, and Ling Qingwan touched her stomach unconsciously.
Ling Xiao was careless, but he happened to be extra careful about Ling Qingwan's affairs. He could tell that Ling Qingwan was hungry, so he asked the coachman to stop the car and went down to buy some cakes.
