Jiang Yuan reacted quickly and held Chunzhi's hand tightly. Chunzhi also reacted quickly and helped Jiang Yuan stand up.

After standing up, Jiang Yuan was still staggering. He was so weak that he had to rely on Chunzhi for support.

She bowed slightly to Qin Mo and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. The Marquis' Mansion has a carriage, and I can go back by myself, so as not to delay Your Highness's business."

Qin Mowei didn't say anything, just nodded and strode away.

The lord named An Chen, together with the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion and a dozen yamen runners from the government office, went out of the city to look for the bodies of the thieves.

The prefect bowed to the carriage of Prince Jin's Mansion, and Qin Yunzheng got on the carriage. Princess Jin looked unhappy and ignored the prefect and got on the carriage.

When the onlookers saw that the problem was solved, they lost interest and gradually dispersed.

Seeing that Princess Jin ignored him, the prefect did not get angry. Instead, he turned to Jiang Zhou and bowed, "Lord Jiang, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"Since the Ministry of Justice is in charge, we won't disturb them." After saying that, he got on the carriage without even looking at Jiang Yuan.

Aunt Qiu also got on the carriage.

Jiang Wan stared at Jiang Yuan fiercely and said in a low voice, "Stop pretending. Just wait."

Jiang Yuan was blocked by Jiang Wan and smiled at her, "Okay, big sister, I'll wait and see."

After saying this, Jiang Yuan burst into tears instantly, his expression was terrified, he stepped back a bit, and then stumbled on the stairs again, "Big sister, big sister, I am also worried about the safety of father and you, big sister, how can you... resent me?"

Jiang Wan was so angry that she almost exploded. What kind of person was this? How could he cry so easily and his expression change so suddenly?

The people who had not left yet, as well as the two carriages parked not far away, all saw this scene and began to talk about it.

Jiang Zhou opened the car window and shouted, "Wan'er, go back home."

Jiang Wan angrily threw her sleeves and got on the carriage.

The Jiang family's carriage just drove away, leaving Jiang Yuan standing alone at the gate of the yamen, crying so hard that he couldn't catch his breath, feeling extremely aggrieved and pitiful.

The prefect couldn't stand it anymore. Just now, when Jiang Yuan came to report the case, he was so anxious and flustered that he even fell down. He was completely worried about the safety of Lord Jiang.

But Lord Jiang actually treated his own daughter like this. The rumors outside were indeed true. Lord Jiang was not happy that his first wife was a merchant, so he favored his concubine and ignored his wife, and even his legitimate children were treated coldly.

He was just listening at first, but now he sees that it is correct.

"Miss Jiang, shall I send someone to escort you back? It's getting cold, be careful of catching a cold."

Jiang Yuan shook his head. Chunzhi waved to the side. The coachman drove the carriage over and put down the stirrups. "Don't bother me, sir. I will go back right away. Thank you very much, sir."

After saying that, she half leaned on Chunzhi and got into the carriage crying. Everyone looked at her lonely figure in the carriage and sighed helplessly. This last performance was the finishing touch, and they had to thank everyone in the Jiang Mansion for their cooperation.

After getting on the carriage, Jiang Yuan calmed down and asked Chunzhi, "How is it? Did you fall just now?"

Chunzhi burst out laughing, "It's okay, did you see the expression on the girl's face? It really makes me feel relieved."

The happy smile froze on her face, and Chunzhi was a little worried, "But, Miss, the Supreme Court is investigating. Will it find out about us?"

Jiang Yuan shrugged, "Haven't you heard? It was an expert who killed him. Do I look more like an expert or do you look more like an expert?"

She still looks like a weak woman. Even if we know that she knows some martial arts, it is impossible for her to kill more than a dozen people alone. There is no need to worry.

"Brother Liu, thank you so much for today." Jiang Yuan said to the coachman through the door.

The cheerful voice of the groom Brother Liu came from outside, "Hey, young lady, what are you talking about? I am just doing the job for money. Don't worry, young lady, I, Old Liu, have been traveling all over the country, and I value loyalty."

"Brother Liu, you have three carriages at home, but you are the only driver. Although you rent out the carriages, you don't make much money driving them alone.

How about this, I have a house, but no car, I will take you both, is that okay with you?"

"What do you mean? I don't understand. Girl, you want to buy all my carriages?"

"Yes, by the way, I'll let you drive the carriage at my house. My brother always has to run back and forth between the academy and the mansion.

As for me, I trust you more, so would you consider it?"

There was silence outside for a moment, and then Brother Liu's voice was heard. "Okay, okay. I have a son at home, and I want to make money to send him to school. If..."

Jiang Yuan immediately interrupted Brother Liu and said, "Brother Liu, you misunderstood. We are not buying your family as slaves, but hiring them. You are still a farmer, so it won't affect your children's studies.

I just paid you to drive my carriage, not to sell you as a slave."

With a whoosh, the horses stopped outside and the door was pushed open. The driver looked inside the carriage with a delighted look on his face. "Is what the girl said true?"

He runs a small business, which is free but unstable. Generally, wealthy people have their own carriages, so he rarely rents a car.

Ordinary people didn't have much to do, and few people rented carriages, so his business was just average.

I have two sons and two daughters. The tuition for sending my sons to school is really expensive. I have been thinking about whether to choose one to go to school, but I just can't make up my mind.

If I go to Miss Jiang's house to work as a rickshaw driver, no matter how much the monthly salary is, at least it is stable. Moreover, looking at Miss Jiang, she will not be stingy.

“Really, if you are willing, then calculate the price of your carriage and come to me with your family.

My yard is not big, but it can accommodate a few more people. My brother and several young masters are over there and we need a cook. I wonder if your wife can go to the kitchen and cook for them.

I will pay you two wages, two taels of silver per month, and there will be other rewards during the New Year holidays. Do you think this is okay?"

Two taels, the total for the two of them is four taels. Before, his wife wanted to go out to wash clothes for others to supplement the family income, but the children at home were still young and needed to be taken care of, so she couldn't earn a few coppers at all.

Now that he could earn two taels of silver every month, who would refuse? He nodded and agreed immediately.

Jiang Yuan said to Chunzhi, "Then let's do this. You take Lord Liu to the mansion tomorrow and explain it to my brother and the others."

"Okay." Chunzhi agreed with a smile.

When she returned to the Marquis' Mansion, the eldest princess already knew about this matter. When she heard that Jiang Yuan had returned, she went to her yard to see her.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Jiang Yuan's red and swollen eyes.

Although it was acting, she really cried and cried for a long time. Her eyes were swollen like walnuts which is a physiological phenomenon and cannot be faked.

Seeing this, Mother Cui took out a handkerchief distressedly and said, "Oh, look at her crying, Lexi, go get some cold handkerchiefs and apply them to the girl, otherwise, she won't be able to see anyone tomorrow."

Jiang Yuan curled his lips and looked at Mother Cui, "Mother Cui, you look down on me."

Mother Cui patted her on the back with a smile, "Naughty."
