Jiang Wu’s expression changed.

This was a big deal. Nothing else mattered. Nothing must happen to Chu Yan.

Jiang Wu could only put everything else aside, said goodbye to the two people in the mansion, and left with Qingyang.

After she got out of the door, she hurried to the carriage while asking for details: “What happened? Was she assassinated? How is she now?”

“The news has probably been blocked. This is all I know.”

Qingyang’s expression was solemn.

Jiang Wu didn’t know why she was so worried. She was afraid that Chu Ling would go crazy. No, she paused as she got into the carriage. If something happened to Chu Yan and her plan to leave the house failed, she would go crazy first.

“Qingyang.” She turned to look at Qingyang, who was also frowning, “If there is any news, please inform me as soon as possible.”

Qingyang rubbed her brows and said, “I should be the one telling you this. You should be faster than me in getting the news.”

Now, Jiang Wu did not delay any longer. After all, the source of her information was in the mansion.

In the Prime Minister’s Mansion, as soon as Jiang Wu came back, she went straight to Chu Ling’s study.

She was actually a little scared.

If something really happened to Chu Yan, if she went there now, she would definitely catch Chu Ling angry and would not end up well.

But she really cared too much. If she didn’t find out whether the person was dead or alive today, she would not be able to live in peace.

However, when she went there, only Chuyi was there.

He told her: “The Master is out.”

Jiang Wu cursed herself for being so stupid. Chu Yan was in trouble, so how could Chu Ling sit still? Then her eyes kept looking at the man who was as motionless as a piece of wood after answering her question.

She thought this person should know something, right?

But her attitude towards Chuyi had never been very good, so even though she was curious now, she still didn’t know how to ask.

Chuyi really wanted to ignore her gaze, but the lady’s cautious, curious, and embarrassed look made it impossible for him to remain calm.

So he did what he shouldn’t do as a shadow, and took the initiative to explain: “Ruyue Jùnzhǔ is fine, and the Master has already left to pick her up.”

After Chuyi finished speaking, he probably realized that something was wrong. He was afraid that Jiang Wu would think too much about it, so he was about to make amends, but he saw that the lady didn’t seem to take it to heart at all.

To be precise, Jiang Wu did take it to heart. She first breathed a sigh of relief because it was not a serious matter, and then she felt a little complicated. Chu Ling was not a person who didn’t care about others.

He just didn’t care about people he didn’t want to care.

Among the complicated emotions, relief accounted for the majority. Chu Yan was very vulnerable at this time, and Chu Ling’s heroic rescue was not a bad thing no matter how you think about it.

After feeling relieved, Jiang Wu saw the servants cleaning the study. Looking at the porcelain fragments they cleaned up, she felt sad.

“It seems that Ruyue Jùnzhǔ was assassinated, and your Master is not in a good mood.”

It was a close call. If she had come earlier, the anger might have been directed at her.

Chuyi glanced at her and suddenly said, “This was broken before Master learned the news.”

In short, before that, Chu Ling was not in a good mood.

Jiang Wu didn’t care why Chu Ling was in a bad mood. She just felt a chill on her neck again and sighed with guilt: “Then this news is really adding fuel to the fire.”

Chuyi pursed his lips and said nothing.

When not competing with Chu Ling in a battle of wits and courage, Jiang Wu generally didn’t like to use her brain.

When Chu Yan was assassinated this time, she thought about it carefully, and she really found a problem.

Who would attack Chu Yan? Chu Yan was now in the limelight. When she was young, she represented Da Qi and fought for peace between the two countries. Now, after more than ten years of wandering, she finally returned to her homeland. Who would have the time to assassinate her?

She had almost reached the capital.

Even if there were any enemies in the capital, who were they? They had grudges for more than ten years and still hadn’t let go?

After thinking about it, she actually figured out a person.

Jiang Wu rushed to Zhang’s house without stopping.

Chu Chan’s in-laws’ family.

The Zhang family did not split up, and the whole family lived together. Old man Zhang used to be the Minister of Rites, and now he was the Taifu of the current dynasty. In name, he was promoted, but in fact, he had lost his real power.

His sons also held positions in the court, most of which were sinecure. Chu Chan’s husband was a scholar at the Hanlin Academy, and his main job was to compile history books, he didn’t care much about other things.

Of course, even so, the foundation was there, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it was considered extremely wealthy.

Jiang Wu did not send a visiting card and came suddenly. The servants hurriedly welcomed her in, saying that they were going to inform the old lady.

Jiang Wu waved her hand to stop him: “Take me directly to see your third wife.”

No one dared to say anything and took her straight to Chu Chan’s yard.

When Jiang Wu arrived, Chu Chan was talking to a woman. The woman was pregnant and was talking smugly about how the Third Master was looking forward to the child.

Chu Chan’s face turned pale.

Jiang Wu felt like vomiting after listening to what she heard. Whether it was that Zhang Xiu had found so many substitutes, that he had made a young girl pregnant at his age, or that he had behaved like this, favoring his concubine over his wife, it all made her sick.

She once again thanked Chu Ling for his deep love and for not being so disgusting.

The xiǎogūi ^[1]husband’s younger sister who always found fault with her was obviously very angry at this moment and didn’t dare to say a word.

Jiang Wu’s expression slightly condensed: “Someone come.”
