Watching Qinglan leave, Jiang Wan, who felt much better, returned to the "D" room. But she was still outside the door when she heard a clanging sound from the inside, the sound of a cup tumbling to the ground. "Clangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclangclang"

Following that, a woman yelled, "Ouch!", which attracted the gazes of everyone in the room, and Jiang Wan was no exception.

At this moment, Jiang Zhuzhe was about to collide with another woman dressed in jade. The other person suddenly grabbed onto Jiang Shu, and with an unrelenting stance, he shouted, "Who are you? This hot tea poured on me! Do you want to burn me to death? "

Jiang Shu also had a stomach full of fire. She had just been standing there perfectly fine when this person inexplicably charged towards her and even accused her of bumping into her.

Just as she was about to explain herself, someone from the crowd started whispering to her.

"She's the one who made a scene at the Left Imperial Censor's house, isn't she?"

"Yeah, I saw her throw her tea in someone else's face."

"Does she want to repeat the same trick this time?"

"This is too embarrassing. If I were her, I wouldn't dare come out and meet her …"

Hearing the chattering of the crowd, Jiang Shu stood there with a wronged expression and tried to defend herself, "It was clearly her who hit me. Don't tell me you don't have eyes?"

Unexpectedly, the other person slapped his face without any warning, and with a "pa" sound, it frightened everyone in the room.

Jiang Shu covered her face as she stared in disbelief.

Who would have thought that the other party would slap him a second time and even shout loudly: "A mere fourth rank official's daughter dares to glare at me?!" Let me properly teach you what rules are, and what respect is! "

Standing at the doorway, Jiang Wan slightly knitted her brows, thinking to herself, just who is this woman? Since they were also arranged to be in the "D" room, it was unlikely that her father would be of high grade.

But why did she dare to put on such a high front, and why did no one in the room dare to refute her?

Jiang Shu, who had already been slapped twice, was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot. She stubbornly endured her tears as she swept her gaze across the crowd, bit her lower lip, and ran out.

Jiang Wan, who was standing by the door, just happened to stumble from her collision and almost fell down.

"Sis Shu!" With great difficulty, Jiang Wan managed to keep herself from falling, but when she turned around, she couldn't find anyone else in the courtyard.

Inexplicably, a trace of unease rose from the bottom of Jiang Wan's heart.

This was the Imperial Palace!

If Jiang Shu did something out of line here, it might even lead to the annihilation of her entire family.

Jiang Wan hurriedly lifted her skirt and chased after him, but there was no trace of Jiang Shu anywhere.

Just as she was burning with anxiety, she heard someone behind her ask with a high-pitched voice, "Are you Jiang Wan, the new vice minister of the Ministry of Justice, Jiang Chuanzhong?"

Jiang Wan quickly turned around, and saw a servant standing behind her, dressed in a round neck robe with dark green shoulders and sleeveless knees. She wore a jade belt around her waist, and a bull-fighting attendant was pasted on her chest.

Jiang Wan subconsciously glanced at her waist, and saw that the butterfly shaped jade pendant had been conveniently hung by her waist.

Seeing that he wore the robe of a rank four servant, she did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. She hurriedly bowed politely, and with a lowered head and eyes, she replied, "I am Jiang Wan."

Seeing how cautious Jiang Wan was, the attendant secretly nodded with satisfaction, then said to her amiably, "Follow me."

Jiang Wan did not dare to disobey, so she could only follow the attendant as they made many turns and went to an inconspicuous little courtyard in the Huaxuan Palace.

Seeing that no one was around, the attendant took out a set of true purple dress for Jiang Wan to change into.

But when Jiang Wan held that set of clothes, thinking about Jiang Shu who was currently in an unknown location, a trace of hesitation appeared under her feet.

Although the servant still had a smile on his face, it was no longer warm and genial. He then said, "We still have some matters to attend to."

The meaning of her words was to urge Jiang Wan to act quickly.

But the more he urged, the more uneasy Jiang Wan felt in her heart. She felt that in any case, in this deep palace, there was no need to trouble two masters for this matter, and she didn't know anyone else.

Without warning, she knelt down before the attendant and respectfully kowtowed. Then, she told the attendant everything that had happened in the palace.

The attendant stopped smiling, half squinting her eyes, and looked at Jiang Wan with a slightly measuring gaze. However, she didn't say anything.

"I only hope that Eunuch can help me find my sister Jiang Shu. It's best that I don't let her cause any trouble in the palace." Jiang Wan kowtowed to her father-in-law once again, then she took out a scarlet gold bracelet from her wrist and raised it high above her head.

This crimson gold bracelet was the first time she saw Cui Liandi at the Crown Prince's Palace.

Jiang Wan, who had lived in this palace before, deeply understood the principle of "having money is easy to do".

Jiang Wan only felt her hand lighten, and then she heard the attendant indifferently reply "Understood."

Since you are willing to accept my items, you should be willing to help, right? Jiang Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in her heart.

At this time, a palace maid came forward with a basin of water and a dressing case. Not only did she break her hair into a new bun, but she also brought water to clean her face and change her makeup.

Afterwards, he urged her to change into a genuine purple dress with a hundred butterflies in it, and only after she was done packing everything up did the attendant bring the others away with satisfaction, and Jiang Wan also slipped back along the original path to the side hall they had been waiting for.

"You're finally back. You've already been selected to 'C Room'. I'm really worried that you won't be able to make it back." When she saw Jiang Wan return, Ren Yan, who was looking forward to it, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the strange clothes on Jiang Wan's body and asked, "Why did you also change into clothes?"

Jiang Wan could only vaguely say that she accidentally dirtied her clothes, and followed Ren Yan into the "D" Room.

The woman that had collided with Jiang Shu earlier had changed into a light red silk double bed dress. She was currently sitting there, smiling as she drank tea with the others, as if everything that had happened before had nothing to do with her.

As if sensing Jiang Wan's gaze, she turned her head to look at Jiang Wan, completely behaving like a lady from a noble family, ready to be sized up by anyone.

Jiang Wan wanted to take a step forward, but was stopped by Ren Yan. She whispered into her ear, "She is called Xue Jinfeng. Her father is Liaodong Army Headquarters' Xue Chongyi."

Liaodong Army Headquarters? Prince An's men?

No wonder he dared to be so arrogant!

Although Prince An was the current brother of His Majesty, because he grew up by the emperor's side, the emperor's feelings for him differed from those of his other brothers. Not only did he grant Liao Dong's territory to him, but he also demanded the smallest amount of tribute from him every year.

However, with the experiences of her past life, Jiang Wan knew that An Wang, Xiao Tong, and Qing were also not a peaceful people. According to the development of later generations, he had probably already started to secretly raise private troops in the eastern part of Liaoning Province.
