On this day, after spending some time with the women in the mansion, Jiang Chuan finally arrived at the palace.
.. ........ .......
In the palace, Lady Mingzhu lived in her bedroom, quietly preparing incense.
Bai Yifei's death seemed to have no impact on her whatsoever.
When Jiang Chuan arrived, she didn't even go out of her way to greet him, because she knew that Jiang Chuan hadn't come for her today.
Jiang Chuan came here for another woman.
Nongyu!
Yes, after the Bai Yifei incident, Nongyu returned to Lady Mingzhu's palace.
Even if she doesn't want to stay here.
But with many things she cared about in Jiang Chuan's hands, she ultimately chose to obediently return.
Even if I learned from Jiang Chuan that the fire at Zilan Pavilion had nothing to do with Jiang Chuan or Ye Mu.
But Zilan Pavilion was ultimately destroyed by fire.
For now, Sister Zi Nu and the others are safe and sound, but what if Nightfall continues to target them with such intent?
Perhaps, staying by this person's side might help Zi Nu and the others resolve some troubles.
Since Nongyu felt she couldn't resist, she should accept her fate.
Pretending to be compliant is actually a method.
Besides that, another thing she cared about was her mother, whom she had never met.
Upon seeing Jiang Chuan, Nongyu was quite excited, because she knew where Jiang Chuan would take her today.
"let's go."
Jiang Chuan said something to Nongyu.
Then, taking her along a secluded path, they secretly left the palace.
Chapter 129 Reunion with Sister-in-Law
The residence of Liu Yi, the Left Sima, was extremely luxurious.
He was the Left Sima in the South Korean army, and the only Sima there.
Liu Yi made a lot of money by helping Ji Wuye resell military equipment. Although Ji Wuye took the lion's share, Liu Yi's wealth accumulated over the years.
This luxurious mansion is the most obvious proof.
If he didn't have money, Liu Yi wouldn't be able to live in such a house.
Unfortunately, that was in the past.
With Liu Yi's death, as the saying goes, "when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter," and Liu Yi's mansion gradually fell into disrepair.
Although he still left behind a lot of money and a large inheritance for Madam Hu, what use is money when a person is dead?
It wasn't that no one coveted Liu Yi's wealth, or even his wife.
Although Mrs. Hu is old, she is still very beautiful and well-maintained, with a graceful and charming appearance.
However, when Jiang Chuan arrived at Liu Yi's residence and met Madam Hu, under his secret instructions and with the protection of the night, those people's plans ultimately failed.
Although Jiang Chuan hasn't been with Nightfall for very long, he's still able to make money for Ji Wuye, and he's highly regarded by Ji Wuye, becoming one of Nightfall's most formidable generals.
He declared that he would protect Liu Yi's widow, so who would dare to make a move?
"Where is this?" When Jiang Chuan brought Nongyu here, Nongyu was curious as she looked at the dilapidated, luxurious mansion with hardly anyone around.
“This is the residence of Liu Yi, the Left Sima,” Jiang Chuan said to Nongyu.
Nongyu's gaze immediately sharpened.
She was no stranger to Liu Yi, the Left Sima.
On that day, Liu Yi had caused trouble in Zilan Pavilion. In the end, it was Sister Zi Nu who stepped in and calmed down the drunk Liu Yi.
That same night, she was attacked by a mysterious man, but her sister Zi Nu arrived and repelled him.
The next day, she was shocked to hear another piece of news: Liu Yi had died.
"Why did you bring me here?" Nongyu asked Jiang Chuan.
If you think about it carefully, a long time has passed since Liu Yi died.
“Didn’t you want to see your mother? Your mother is in Liu Yi’s residence,” Jiang Chuan said to Nongyu.
Then he stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Not long after, the door opened.
The appearance of Liu Yi's steward came into Jiang Chuan's view. Upon seeing Jiang Chuan, the steward lowered his attitude and became extremely respectful, saying, "Greetings, sir."
After Liu Yi's death, this steward, who was subordinate to Liu Yi and could be considered a member of Nightfall, tried to curry favor with Jiang Chuan in every way, wanting to join Jiang Chuan's ranks and seek protection.
Jiang Chuan understood what the other party meant, but did not show any intention of refusing. In fact, he even gave the other party some hints that if the other party behaved well, he would not mind giving them protection.
The reason for this was that the other party was the steward of Liu Yi's household.
Jiang Chuan, being lustful, would naturally be even more fortunate to have an inside agent in Liu Yi's household.
After all, when Ximen Qing seduced Pan Jinlian, there was also a matchmaker, Wang Po, who acted as an inside agent and mediated between them.
"I have something to discuss with Madam Liu. Please inform her," Jiang Chuan said directly to the steward of Liu Yi's residence without any formalities.
Although Madam Hu is called Madam Hu, it is because her surname is Hu. In reality, she should be referred to as Madam Liu, since she is nominally Liu Yi's wife.
The steward of Liu Yi's residence treated Jiang Chuan, an outsider, with utmost respect, addressing him as "Master." Upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words, he immediately went to inform Madam Hu without further ado.
It was as if Jiang Chuan was the true master of this mansion.
Nongyu's eyes sparkled, and she gained a deeper understanding of Jiang Chuan.
Upon being informed by the butler, Madam Hu quickly arrived in the hall to wait.
Jiang Chuan led Nongyu into the hall.
Since Liu Yi's death, Madam Hu seems to have become more and more prosperous. She has not aged at all; on the contrary, she has become younger and younger.
Perhaps it was because she learned some information about her daughter from Jiang Chuan.
Learning that her daughter was still alive, even though she didn't know where she was, was good news for Madam Hu. Besides, Liu Yi was dead, so she no longer had to pretend or live with a mask on.
Living alone, occasionally missing my daughter and imagining the scene of mother and daughter meeting, this kind of life is more comfortable and pleasant than before.
"Sister-in-law, it's been a long time."
Upon seeing Madam Hu, Jiang Chuan greeted her first.
"Greetings, Mr. Jiang." Madam Hu gave a slight bow, which was considered a greeting to Jiang Chuan.
"I've come today to fulfill the promise I made to my sister-in-law." Jiang Chuan didn't hide his purpose and stated it frankly.
Madam Hu's delicate body trembled involuntarily.
She thought about what had happened that day.
Liu Yicai died that day.
Jiang Chuan, a member of Liu Yi's organization, arrived at the mansion, but he was not there to investigate the truth behind Liu Yi's death.
Based on Mrs. Hu's personal experience, the other party seemed more like they came for her sake.
Mrs. Hu is not stupid.
As she thought about it more and more, she realized that was indeed the case.
Of course, it is indeed somewhat unbelievable.
In addition, the other party noticed the fire rain agate he was wearing and mentioned that he had seen another piece of the same fire rain agate before.
In order to find her daughter's whereabouts, Madam Hu finally gave her Fire Rain Agate to Jiang Chuan, asking him to compare it with another piece of Fire Rain Agate to see if it was the same as hers.
Madam Hu originally thought that Jiang Chuan would be able to complete the comparison in just a few days, and then come here to hand over the Fire Rain Agate and tell her the answer.
But unexpectedly, this delay lasted for a very long time.
The city of Xinzheng was in turmoil.
Since Liu Yi's death, many things have happened during this period: Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei returned to the court, Tianze escaped, Baiyue refugees died, the Crown Prince's residence was attacked, Princess Honglian was kidnapped, the Crown Prince was killed, and the Qin envoy was murdered.
Although Madam Hu stayed in the mansion, she still heard about some of the things happening outside.
However, what she was most concerned about was what Jiang Chuan had said that day.
"Could it be?" Madam Hu looked at Jiang Chuan with great anticipation.
Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "After my comparison, the Fire Rain Agate on the lady's body is exactly the same as the other Fire Rain Agate. Of course, for some reason, the other Fire Rain Agate can no longer be found. But it doesn't matter, I brought the owner of the other Fire Rain Agate here."
He turned to the side, and Nongyu's appearance immediately came into Madam Hu's view.
