The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

Everyone in the Duke's Mansion knew about the fire at Qiu Shui Ju.

On the way back to Yansiyuan, Jiang Zhiyue saw her third sister Jiang Hengdan waiting for her at the intersection, holding a lantern alone.

Jiang Zhiyue took a few quick steps and said, "Third sister, it's late at night and the dew is heavy. Why are you waiting outside?"

Jiang Hengdan smiled gently, the moonlight shining on her face made her look even more gentle and chaste: "There's a fire in Qiushuiju, there must be some trouble."

Jiang Zhiyue and Jiang Hengdan looked at each other and saw only calmness in her eyes.

Jiang Zhiyue smiled immediately, "Third sister, have a cup of hot tea before you leave."

Jiang Hengdan nodded gently, "Okay."

Jiang Hengdan followed Jiang Zhiyue into Yansi Courtyard. Changying took the initiative to make tea, leaving Jiang Zhiyue and her sister alone.

Jiang Hengdan's appearance tonight was really beyond Jiang Zhiyue's expectations.

You should know that it is difficult to change a person's character in a short period of time.

The third sister had been a transparent person in the Duke's Mansion for so many years, but she actually took the initiative to remind her about the fire in Qiu Shui Residence.

"Lin's family deliberately let Qiushuiju catch fire. Their ultimate goal should be you, Sixth Sister."

Jiang Hengdan was also bold. She stated Lin Jingqiu's purpose straight away.

Jiang Zhiyue was a little surprised that her third sister, who usually kept a low profile, had such a strong grasp of Lin Jingqiu's personality.

The third sister is indeed a talented person.

"Third sister, you need evidence to prove what you said." Jiang Zhiyue did not respond easily.

Jiang Zhiyue didn't believe that there were no unprovoked displays of kindness in this world. She wanted to know what her third sister wanted from her.

Jiang Hengdan didn't think he was angry because Jiang Zhiyue didn't believe him. Instead, he took out a sweat towel from his sleeve and put it on the table.

Jiang Zhiyue's eyes narrowed. This was her sweat towel, a close-fitting item.

"Where did third sister get it?" Jiang Zhiyue's eyes were sharp, not like a fourteen-year-old girl at all.

Her aura is somewhat stronger than that of her sister Jiang Hengdan.

Jiang Hengdan saw that Sixth Sister was like a little leopard, her whole body alert, her eyes filled with hunting intent ready to strike.

Jiang Hengdan did not rush to explain, but smiled instead.

Perhaps she really had no ill intentions, and this smile made Jiang Zhiyue less hostile.

Jiang Hengdan noticed that Jiang Zhiyue's attitude had relaxed a bit, and then said, "I intercepted it from the boy next to the palace doctor."

"Sixth sister is smart. Even if I wasn't here, this thing wouldn't have fallen into someone else's hands. It's just that I happened to come across it, so I bought it for a good deal."

Jiang Hengdan's words were not exaggerated at all.

The moment she heard about the fire at Qiushuiju, she guessed that it must be Aunt Lin who was planning something, and she had been keeping an eye on Lin Jingqiu.

As expected, she discovered that when Lin Jingqiu's second-class maid Dingxiang sent the boy who came with the palace doctor away, she gave him a small piece of gold and a wrapped hand towel.

So Jiang Hengdan decisively intercepted the thing.

She said it was a coincidence because she saw Chang Hui next to Jiang Zhiyue.

That little girl is very clever. She must be here to help Sixth Sister get information.

"Thank you, third sister." Jiang Zhiyue still thanked Jiang Hengdan.

She didn't think it was a coincidence. If Jiang Hengdan hadn't been intentional, who knows who would have this thing in their hands now.

Jiang Hengdan hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "In the past... I don't know how many of these things she had."

Jiang Hengdan's words were vague, but Jiang Zhiyue understood them.

In the past, she and Lin Jingqiu were close, and Lin Jingqiu even had things like her personal sweat towel, so naturally she had to consider whether there was anything else.

Jiang Zhiyue nodded, "Don't worry, Third Sister."

Jiang Zhiyue didn't say it explicitly, but this was also a hint to reassure Jiang Hengdan.

Seeing Jiang Zhiyue's slightly solemn expression, Jiang Hengdan took the initiative to say, "If Sixth Sister needs anything, just tell me."

Jiang Hengdan's sincerity in showing goodwill is already very obvious.

Jiang Zhiyue was a little confused: "Third sister, why are you helping me like this?"

She had given her third sister some advice before in order to repay her kindness in her previous life.

Jiang Hengdan smiled softly, "You are my sister. Do sisters need any reason to be friends?"

"But I didn't treat my third sister well before."

Jiang Zhiyue asked the questions together with those from his previous life: Why was he so nice to her?

In her previous life, she was not a kind person.

Jiang Hengdan looked at the beautiful girl who was looking at him with doubtful eyes, and suddenly smiled: "If sisterhood is not enough, and I must give you a reason, it is that I have received your kindness before, and now I am repaying you."

Jiang Zhiyue said nothing. She persuaded her third sister that it was a favor from her previous life. Why should she repay it?

Seeing that she hadn't thought of it yet, Jiang Hengdan said softly, "Auntie is weak and can't stand others crying and begging. One winter, she sent all the charcoal to my uncle's house. When I caught a cold, she refused to call a doctor, fearing that she would get into trouble..."

Jiang Zhiyue looked at Jiang Hengdan and seemed to recall this past event from her words.

That was when she was very young, and she accidentally knocked over Jiang Hengdan's hand warmer while running around.

Nanny Cheng was afraid that the hand warmer would burn her, so she kicked it away.

But when they kicked it open, they found only a few scattered charcoal flames inside, as small as a fingernail. When they were kicked, they were all extinguished when they fell to the ground.

Jiang Zhiyue didn't think much about it and asked curiously, "Why isn't third sister's hand warmer warm?"

Just this one sentence made Madam Cheng notice the sick girl. She also investigated Aunt Bai strictly and specially sent more charcoal for Jiang Hengdan to use.

After Jiang Zhiyue figured it out, he was a little stunned.

Jiang Hengdan laughed instead: "Sixth sister thinks this is a trivial matter, right?"

Jiang Zhiyue paused, "Even if it wasn't me, Nanny Cheng would have noticed it."

Jiang Hengdan chuckled and said nothing more.

Jiang Zhiyue pursed her lips, not knowing what she felt.

It was not until Chang Hui came back and Chang Ying sent Jiang Hengdan away that Jiang Zhiyue slowly came back to his senses.

He picked up the sweat towel on the table and threw it directly into the heater.

The flames instantly engulfed the sweat towel, and the silk fabric immediately twisted and tangled and began to burn when it came into contact with the fire.

Chang Hui saw that the young lady was in a bad mood and wanted to say something, but Chang Ying, who had returned, stopped her and signaled her to let the young lady be alone for a while.

In a few breaths, the sweat towel was burned clean, leaving behind some unpleasant smell.

Jiang Zhiyue looked calm and called the two back. Chang Hui immediately told Jiang Zhiyue the news he had heard.

Lin Jingqiu spent a large sum of money to bribe the boy serving the court physician and asked him to bring some things with him when delivering medicine to the pharmacy.

Jiang Zhiyue's guess was correct. The fire at Qiu Shui Ju was indeed the work of Lin Jingqiu.

She blocked Lin Jingqiu's sources of information, making it impossible for Lin Jingqiu to pass on any information.

Perhaps he was extremely anxious after learning that the Guangchang Marquisate had set its sights on Lin Yuzhong, so he came up with this self-harming method and contacted some outsiders.

Judging from the things Jiang Hengdan intercepted, Jiang Zhiyue could tell at a glance that Lin Jingqiu was planning to destroy her innocence.

After all, she was a woman who was willing to be someone's mistress, and it was very easy for her to destroy someone's innocence!
