The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 368 The purpose is far more than just Yang Manman

Yang Manman's already ugly face turned pale in an instant. She didn't care about Chu Jingyue and the others and ran out.

But after running two steps, he stopped and looked at Xiao Ling with pleading eyes.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince..."

This place is too far away from the Duke's Mansion, and I came here in the Third Prince's carriage, so I can't just run back like this.

Xiao Ling's gaze stayed on Xiao Yue, his expression was hard to tell. Listening to Yang Manman's begging tone, he didn't even glance at her, but just spoke to Bai Xinan.

"Go to the Ministry of Justice Prison and see if Miss Jiang is in the cell."

"Yes." Bai Xinan responded quickly and left the inn.

Although Yang Manman did not get a reply from Xiao Ling, she hurriedly followed Bai Xinan when she saw him leave.

Seeing this, Chu Jingyue just laughed in her heart.

The matter is done. Even if Yang Manman runs back now, what use will it be? The most she can do is to confess to Duke Yang first.

Xiao Yue, who was beside her, felt uncomfortable when she saw Xiao Ling's eyes, but when she thought that it was Xiao Ling and the others who were fooled this time, she suddenly felt confident again.

"It's getting late, aren't you leaving, brother?"

"What benefits did Jiang Suining promise you?"

He never cared much about this fifth imperial sister, but now he wanted to know how she got involved with Jiang Suining.

"I don't understand what you are saying, my brother. Miss Jiang and I are friends, so how can there be any benefit? By the way, Miss Jiang and I met at a banquet in your house."

Jiang Suining was the person she chose to cooperate with, and he would be her right-hand man in the future. She naturally couldn't just watch him fail in this matter.

Seeing that Xiao Yue looked like he couldn't get anything out of her, Xiao Ling didn't waste any more words. After sweeping his cold eyes across Chu Jingyue and Xiao Yue's faces respectively, he finally turned around and left the inn.

the other side.

It was already late at night when Bai Xinan rushed back to the Ministry of Justice prison.

The jailer on night watch was a little surprised when he saw him coming, but he didn't say much.

Bai Xinan said nothing and went straight to the outside of Jiang Suining's cell.

In the cell where no one had been seen before, Jiang Suining was now lying peacefully on the bed.

Hearing footsteps, she slowly opened her eyes and sat up, her vision clear.

A small beam of moonlight came in from the small window on the wall and fell right beside Jiang Suining, dimly illuminating the smile on her face.

"It's so late, Lord Bai rushed here in such a hurry, could something have happened?"

Bai Xin'an frowned, "Miss Jiang has great skills!"

"I don't understand what you are saying, Lord Bai. After all, I am being held in prison by you. As a prisoner, how can I come up with any good tricks?"

The smile on Jiang Suining's face seemed to become even more intense, but there was no trace of pride in it. Bai Xinan looked at him and felt that he looked very much like the first day he was locked up in this cell.

Could it be that the other party had anticipated this moment since he was locked up?

This thought suddenly came to his mind, but was quickly denied by Bai Xinan.

impossible!

Not to mention whether Jiang Suining has the means and scheme to do so, how did she calculate that Yang Manman would definitely come to the prison to find her?

"Miss Jiang, maybe you are lucky this time. You have Yang Manman at your doorstep, but have you ever thought about what good it will do you to anger the Third Prince like this?"

Although what happened tonight was planned by Jiang Suining, he has been keeping an eye on the Ministry of Justice's prison, so there is no guarantee that His Highness will blame him for this.

But in the final analysis, with his status, he had no way of taking full control of the Ministry of Justice prison.

Seeing that Bai Xinan no longer concealed the truth and directly mentioned the Third Prince, Jiang Suining no longer pretended to be confused.

"Whether Yang Manman comes or not is actually not that important. What's important is that since I was wrongly imprisoned, I will eventually get out."

Jiang Suining stood up, straightened his clothes, walked to the table calmly and sat down.

"Master Bai, why don't you talk to the Third Prince and let me out as soon as possible? Whether angering the Third Prince will do me any good or not is not the point. However, if you continue to keep me in prison, it will really do you no good."

Bai Xinan's face darkened, "Are you threatening us?"

Jiang Suining took a sip of tea and said, "Master Bai may think so."

"Although we fell into your trap tonight, you should not be too arrogant. Do you really think that you can threaten the Third Prince? I am afraid that even your fiancé may not be able to do so."

"Whether I have this ability or not, Lord Bai will soon find out. After all, I went to such great lengths tonight. Do you think my purpose is really just Yang Manman?"

Bai Xinan was stunned by Jiang Suining's words.

When he met her smiling eyes again, Bai Xinan suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly asked what this meant, but Jiang Suining refused to speak.

Seeing that he could not get anything out of him, Bai Xinan hurriedly left the Ministry of Justice prison, abandoned his carriage, and rode to the Third Prince's palace.

When he arrived, Xiao Ling had already returned to the mansion.

The entire Third Prince's Mansion was brightly lit. Before Bai Xinan could finish what he had said in the cell, Xiao Ling spoke.

"A thief broke into this prince's study."

Bai Xin'an's eyebrows jumped, and he asked tentatively: "Your Highness, is there anything wrong?"

"Something is missing."

He was not favored by his father, and it was not easy for him to gain a foothold in the court. He always had to keep some of the court officials' privacy in his hands. But when he just came back, he found that the secret compartment in the study had been opened and all the things inside had disappeared.

Bai Xinan hurriedly reported to Xiao Ling what Jiang Suining had just said in the prison.

"What a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain and attack from the east. It turns out that the real target tonight is this prince's mansion!"

He was intent on catching Jiang Suining for escaping from prison tonight, so he took all the skilled secret guards out with him, but he didn't expect that this gave others an opportunity to take advantage of him.

No wonder the location was chosen in the south of the city. With such a long trip back and forth, there would be plenty of time for the sneaking thieves to crack the mechanism of the study!

"What a skill! Jiang Suining really is very capable!" Xiao Ling's smile was mixed with anger, which was very creepy.

"Your Highness, such a strategy could not be accomplished by Jiang Suining alone. Lord Shen might also be involved." Although Bai Xinan guessed so, he still couldn't hide his surprise.

Ning Mo Zhai was searched and Jiang Suining was taken away. Everything happened suddenly. There was absolutely no chance for Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi to discuss and come up with such a plan.

Moreover, the most important part of this matter is Yang Manman. If you think about it carefully, it might be Jiang Suining's sudden idea. In this case, even if Shen Yanxi is involved, he might just be cooperating with Jiang Suining...

In other words, the entire plan should have been planned by Jiang Suining!

"Shen Yanxi..." Xiao Ling pronounced the name with a gloomy face, and there seemed to be a layer of ice in his tone.

Before he could start to think about how to respond next, a servant came with a report.

"Your Highness, Lord Shen Yanxi requests to see you."
