It was at this time that Zhu Jingzhong ran to Zhou Quan's yard with his short legs, saw Nanny Meng who had been beaten to death, and also saw his brother grabbing Zhou Quan by the collar.

Looking again, the wife of Marquis Yongning was tightly holding the blood-stained wooden stick, with an extremely cold look of hatred on her face.

He also understood the reasons for the anger and hatred of Marquis Yongning and his wife.

Nanny Dong was not stupid. She fell to the ground and was stunned for a moment. She immediately crawled to the feet of the wife of the Yongning Marquis, grabbed the hem of her skirt, and cried:

"Madam, I have followed you since I was a child. You know what kind of person I am. Even if I die, I will never do anything to betray you."

As she spoke, Nanny Dong pointed at Zhou Quan with a trembling finger and said, "If I knew that he was having an affair with Granny Meng from the West Courtyard, I would have had a big fight with him a long time ago..."

Before Nanny Dong finished her words, the wife of the Marquis of Yongning kicked her in the chest, glanced at her coldly, and said to the Marquis of Yongning, "Take them to Yunfang Courtyard."

Marquis Yongning understood what his wife meant and ordered the servants to tie up Zhou Quan and Nanny Dong and take them to Yunfang Courtyard.

Nanny Dong knew the temperament of the wife of the Marquis of Yongning very well. She struggled desperately and shouted, "Madam, please believe me. I was also deceived. I really didn't do anything to let you down..."

The wife of Marquis Yongning pretended not to hear anything and walked towards Yunfang Courtyard.

Yongning Hou said to Zhu Jingzhong in a deep voice: "You can also go to Yunfangyuan to listen."

Seeing this, Biyou and Bizhi, who were hiding in the dark, whispered to each other. Bizhi went to Yunfangyuan to see how Marquis Yongning and his wife dealt with Zhou Quan and Nanny Dong.

Biyou came back first and reported to Lin Luoling what had happened.

After hearing this, Lin Luoling asked, "Where is Young Master Jiang?"

Biyou replied, "After setting the fire, Young Master Jiang put on Mrs. Meng's clothes and ran to Yunfang Courtyard. I haven't seen him since."

Lin Luoling just frowned when she heard a very light sound from the back window. She turned her head and saw Jiang Chi jumping in through the window, fanning himself gently and saying, "Sister, are you looking for me, the prince?"

Lin Luoling raised her hand towards Jiang Chi as if she was used to it, indicating that Jiang Chi should sit down and wait for a while.

Jiang Chi lifted the hem of his robe and sat down next to Chen Yin.

Lin Luoling asked Biyou again: "Since Nanny Meng was beaten to death, have the Marquis of Yongning and his wife mentioned how to deal with her body?"

Biyou replied, "I haven't said anything yet. I left a servant in Zhouquan's courtyard to watch over Madam Meng's body."

Lin Luoling smiled knowingly and told Biyou, "Tell Zhou Jiaoling quietly that Nanny Meng was beaten to death by the wife of the Marquis of Yongning. Tell her that if I am not mistaken, Zhu Jingzhong will carry Nanny Meng's body to Chunlan Courtyard in the middle of the night.

She is a smart person, she should be able to think of what will happen next."

Biyou took the order and left.

After the door was closed, Lin Luoling poured a cup of tea for Jiang Chi and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, brother."

Jiang Chi snorted and laughed, "You must not call me brother for nothing. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

Lin Luoling didn't bother to be polite with Jiang Chi, she held up two fingers and said, "I want to ask my brother to do two things for me."

Jiang Chi picked up the teacup and said, "Tell me what you have to say."

Lin Luoling mentioned two things. One was to let Jiang Chi and Prince An tell them to find a house with three entrances and three exits, just like the two shops. It was open to the market, but in fact it was rented out in the market for three months.

Another thing is that since the craftsmen in Xuzhou, the capital, have been called by Governor Cao to repair the mansion for Prince An, the eldest prince, Prince Jin, will also have to renovate his magnificent buildings in the future. Instead of letting others make money from the renovations, it would be better to let Jiang Chi convince Prince An that she should make the money.

Jiang Chi asked with a smile: "Sister, you don't seem to be short of that little money, right?"

Lin Luoling did not hide it and replied: "Of course I have it, but I just want to follow your example and use the Second Prince to kill someone for me."

"Who to kill?" Jiang Chi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Lin Luoling blurted out a name, "Yuanbao."

Jiang Chi agreed without even blinking.

Then he said, "You asked His Royal Highness Prince An to find Liu Bo for you. His Royal Highness Prince An asked me to tell you that Liu Bo is in his hands. Whenever you need him, let me know and I will personally hand Liu Bo over to you."

Lin Luoling asked in surprise: "That day, you not only set fire to Tianxiang Tower and Qionglouyuge, but also captured Liu Bo?"

Jiang Chi nodded and said, "I guessed that Liu Bo would be useful to you, so when he came out of the Jade Tower that day, I caught him and handed him over to Prince An to be locked up."

Lin Luoling said, "I see."

Then, she heard Jiang Chi calmly tell her that County Magistrate Chen would be sentenced to death soon, and his wives, concubines and children would be exiled.

Although it was not explicitly said, Lin Luoling understood that Jiang Chi mentioned this specifically because it meant that none of County Magistrate Chen's wives, concubines, and children would survive during the exile.

There was nothing more to do, so Jiang Chi gently waved his Feng Shui fan, stood up and said, "It's too late, I should go back, and Sister Ling'er should also go to bed early.

There is no need to wait for Bizhi to come back and report to you. Based on my understanding of Yongning Hou, he will definitely kill the couple tonight."

Lin Luoling agreed with what Jiang Chi said. Butler Zhou Quan and Nanny Dong would definitely not survive. However, what she wanted to know was whether Zhu Xianrun's death was the result of a conspiracy between Lan Wanshuang and Zhou Quan. How many evil things did Zhou Quan know about Lan Wanshuang's deeds, and whether he would betray her.

If Zhou Quan knew all the evil things Lan Wanshuang had done and exposed her, given Zhu Jingzhong's temper, he would definitely beat Lan Wanshuang to death now that she no longer had the two Lan sisters to rely on.

This is why she let Marquis Yongning catch Zhou Quan having an affair with Nanny Meng instead of catching Zhou Quan having an affair with Lan Wanshuang.

Given Marquis Yongning's personality, if he caught Zhou Quan and Lan Wanshuang having an affair, he would not beat Lan Wanshuang to death on the spot, but would listen to Lan Wanshuang's explanation.

Lan Wanshuang and Zhou Quan would only admit to the crime of adultery, and at most they would be driven out of the Yongning Marquis's mansion by Zhu Jingzhong with a divorce letter, and then the Yongning Marquis would secretly kill Zhou Quan and be done with it.

If Nanny Meng and Zhou Quan were caught having an affair, even if Nanny Meng was Lan Wanshuang's personal maid and a servant, Marquis Yongning would beat Nanny Meng to death on the spot without a second thought.

If Zhou Quan betrayed Lan Wanshuang tonight, Lin Luoling really wanted to know what kind of expressions Marquis Yongning and his wife would have when they learned that Zhu Xianrun was not killed by Zhu Jingzhong but by Lan Wanshuang.

What expression would Zhou Quan have if he revealed that Lan Wanshuang had given Yongning Hou and Zhu Jingzhong drugs extracted from thunder god vine, which had caused the two brothers to be unable to conceive in this life?

Either of these two things would make Zhu Jingzhong so angry that he would beat Lan Wanshuang to death.

After Marquis Yongning learns that he cannot have children, the existence of Rong Shuhua will become a thorn in the eyes of Marquis Yongning and his wife. They will definitely find a way to find Rong Shuhua's child, adopt the child, and kill Rong Shuhua secretly.

However, she didn't know whether her wish could be fulfilled.

So, after Jiang Chi left, Lin Luoling sat quietly in the room waiting for Bizhi to come back.
