Jiang Suining raised his head and looked at Zheng. "Don't worry, mother. Whether it's Zeng Fansong or Zhang Wangcheng, the older they are, the more suspicious they are. They will never completely trust each other."

Last night, when Jiang Zhitong went to Zhang's house, he appeared to be trying to please him, but in fact he pretended to inadvertently reveal a piece of information - he knew that Zeng Fansong had given his wife's sister to Zhang Wangcheng as a concubine.

He also said that Zeng Fansong said it himself when he was drinking.

No matter how much Zhang Wangcheng believed this, he had a thought in his mind, that is, Zeng Fansong might not be tight-lipped. He even immediately began to doubt how much Zeng Fansong had revealed to others about his relationship with him.

Similarly, as long as Jiang Zhitong vaguely showed in front of Zeng Fansong today that he already knew that Zeng Fansong was trying to please Zhang Wangcheng, and then acted less worried about the fabric issue, Zeng Fansong might think that Zhang Wangcheng said something.

Mutual distrust is the beginning of the collapse of a relationship.

Especially for people like Zhang Wangcheng and Zeng Fansong, as soon as they see any signs of something wrong, both sides will inevitably start to be on guard.

As long as Zeng Fansong starts to make some moves...

Jiang Suining stopped the spoon in his hand and thought of the plan he had told Wu before...

After Zeng Fansong left the Jiang family, he immediately ordered the coachman to rush to Zhang's house.

In his opinion, although Jiang Zhitong had tried his best to deny it just now, his words still hinted at a message, that is, Jiang Zhitong might have really been able to take Zhang Wangcheng's path.

Although he told himself in his heart that the Jiang family’s inability to deliver the goods was almost a foregone conclusion, how could Zhang Wangcheng protect the Jiang family?

But even so, Jiang Zhitong's obviously calmer attitude still made him feel panic in his heart.

"Hurry up!" Zeng Fansong urged the driver.

The carriage was moving very fast, and every time the wheels rolled over the ground, it seemed to roll on Zeng Fansong's heart, making him more and more anxious.

Finally, the carriage arrived outside Zhang's house, but just as Zeng Fansong lifted the curtain and was about to go in, it suddenly stopped.

The question that had been bothering him just now suddenly had an answer.

The fact that the Jiang family could not deliver the goods on time was indeed a foregone conclusion. If Zhang Wangcheng wanted to save the Jiang family, he had to find a reasonable reason, such as that the Jiang family could not deliver the goods on time because they were framed, which was excusable...

This thought made Zeng Fansong feel cold all over. Looking at the gate in front of him, he suddenly didn't dare to go forward.

If his guess was correct and Zhang Wangcheng really intended to sacrifice the Zeng family, would it be a hazard for him to come and see Zhang Wangcheng now?

"Master, are you still going to get off?" The coachman asked carefully when he saw Zeng Fansong standing there motionless for a long time.

Zeng Fansong took a deep breath and lowered the car curtain, "Go back home!"

He must stay calm now and think carefully. If Zhang Wangcheng really intends to abandon the Zeng family and choose the Jiang family, what should he do?

After returning to Zeng's house, Zeng Fansong plunged into the study, opened the secret compartment and began to organize various evidences of his bribery to Zhang Wangcheng.

"Fortunately, we were prepared from the beginning. If Zhang Wangcheng really wanted to use the Zeng family as a scapegoat, these evidences should be able to make him give up the idea."

Zeng Fansong held the evidence in his hand like a life-saving straw, and did not notice that Wu had seen everything through the gap in the study window...

The following events went smoothly as Jiang Suining had planned.

Wu secretly stole the evidence and had someone send it to the Dali Temple in the name of Zeng Fansong.

By the time Zeng Fansong discovered that the evidence was missing, the incident had become a hot topic with the help of money, and everyone on the streets knew about it.

As for Zhang Wangcheng, after learning that the Zeng family had reported him, he was furious. On the one hand, he vehemently denied it, and on the other hand, he secretly sent people to the Zeng family to question and threaten Zeng Fansong.

But just as the people sent by Zhang Wangcheng left the Zhang family, the Dali Temple received the news. A fourth-rank official in Beijing accepted bribes, and the whole imperial city was talking about it. This was no small matter. Many eyes were staring at the Dali Temple, and the Dali Temple did not dare to neglect it. On the grounds of protecting the witness and the plaintiff, it directly took Zeng Fansong into custody.

In anger, Zhang Wangcheng thought of Wu Lian and was ready to take it out on her. He asked her to go to Zeng's house to find out what was going on. However, when she arrived at Wu Lian's yard, she found that she had disappeared without a trace!

Shili Pavilion outside the imperial city.

Jiang Suining handed the bag in his hand to Wu Lian.

As early as when Zhang Wangcheng was summoned to the Dali Temple to cooperate with the investigation and the people in the mansion were in panic, she had bribed and arranged for the Zhang family servants to help Wu Lian leave the Zhang Mansion.

"There are fake identity documents and 10,000 taels of silver in here. As long as nothing unexpected happens, it should be enough to support you for the rest of your life."

"So many?" Wu Lian was surprised.

"This is the amount decided by my father and mother. Just accept it with peace of mind."

After hearing about Wu Lian's story, Jiang Zhitong and Zheng felt very sympathetic and finally decided to give her 10,000 taels.

"My parents also asked me to tell you that they hope you can live a smooth and happy life in the future."

Wu Lian's eyes were hot. She took the bundle and nodded solemnly to Jiang Suining, "Yes, I will. Thank you, Miss Jiang!"

"It is our Jiang family who should thank you." Jiang Suining said with a smile.

Mrs. Wu, who was standing by, was also carrying a bag and looked a little worried. "Miss Jiang, can we really leave now?"

She originally thought that they would not be arranged to leave until the results were out, but unexpectedly, after the evidence was handed over to the Dali Temple, she received a message asking her to be ready to leave at any time, and they would leave immediately as Lian'er left Zhang's house.

Speaking of which, she had often felt sad before because she couldn't give birth to a child. But when she left today, she couldn't help but feel lucky in her heart that not having children meant she had nothing to worry about.

"Even though we won't see the end of Zhang Wangcheng and the others if we leave now, this is the best time. If you continue to stay, Zhang Wangcheng might get angry with you, or Zeng Fansong might find out what you did, and they might attack you in desperation."

The situation is different at this critical juncture. They are too busy to take care of themselves. Even if they find that someone is missing, they may not have the energy to look for him.

It is also possible that Wu could not bear to see her sister suffer, so she took advantage of the chaos to escape with her.

"What if they are safe in the end?" Wu frowned and said, "Miss Jiang, don't get me wrong. I'm not just worried that we will be found. After we leave this time, we will definitely stay far away. But if they are safe, what if they find out that you are the one..."

Although she didn't completely trust the person in front of her at the beginning, it was indeed the person who helped them now, and she didn't want Jiang Suining to get into trouble because of this.

Wu Lian couldn't help but look at Jiang Suining with worry after hearing what Mrs. Wu said.

The latter's eyes and eyebrows were all smiling, "Don't worry, Zhang Wangcheng and the others won't have this opportunity."

Mrs. Wu and Wu Lian looked at each other, both with puzzled expressions.

"Miss Jiang, why are you so confident?"
