Chapter 424 I only have you

The door to the Lin family's house seemed to be an insurmountable barrier that he could never cross in his entire life.

It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this.

Jiang Liuyun didn't understand. Just a few months ago, the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion was still in an invincible position.

Why can it fall apart so quickly?

Jiang Yunhe has been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice's jail, and the Minister of Justice has not allowed Jiang Liuyun to visit him.

Jiang Liuyun could no longer tell whether this was a personal grudge or something that had been instructed by someone higher up.

He took a deep breath.

No, we can't let the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion fall.

He had to save his father!
After leaving the Lin family, he moved around to the residences of officials who had previously been on good terms with the Zhenyuan Marquis's family.

But everyone turned him away.

It was late at night, and the sky was already dark.

Jiang Liuyun walked down the street, looking lost and confused. He couldn't help but wonder if Lin Zhiqing had been just as helpless when Lin Congyan had his accident.
No matter how much he was threatened or bribed, no one was willing to lend him a helping hand.

The most changeable thing in Shengjing City is the wind direction.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan's family has already been sentenced to death, so neutral officials will not risk offending them, and officials who were on good terms with the Marquis of Zhenyuan's family have also distanced themselves from him.

Jiang Liuyun tried every possible method, but still couldn't find any way to turn things around.

He took a deep breath.

Do not!
He still has another way!

The execution ground, yes, the execution ground!
On the day his father was to be executed, he could gather the forces of the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion to storm the execution ground.

With that thought in mind, he moved quickly and returned to the Hidden Fragrance Pavilion.

Jinniang is not here.

Jiang Liuyun frowned slightly, but didn't think much of it. He rummaged through the drawers and cabinets, finding all the things he had put there.

Just as he took out his jade pendant, the door opened with a click.

"My lord, what are you looking for?" Jinniang was not wearing her usual thin gauze, but rather light everyday clothes.

Jiang Liuyun paused, then asked, "Where did you go?"

Jinniang pulled Jiang Liuyun to the table and poured him a cup of tea:

"I just went to inquire about the situation. The Marquis is in prison, but perhaps there will be a turning point?"

Jiang Liuyun casually drank the cup of tea and sighed deeply.

"If Father knew how much you cared for him, I wonder if he would still have stopped you from marrying me back then."

Mentioning this, Jinniang smiled nonchalantly:

“My lord, it’s just a title. Of course, the Marquis has his reasons. You must not become estranged from him.”

"He only has you now."

Hearing these words, Jiang Liuyun felt very comforted.

He pulled Jinniang into his arms: "Jinniang, you're all I have left."

“I am no longer the heir of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and you are the only one who is willing to stay by my side.”

Jinniang hugged Jiang Liuyun back: "My lord, didn't you just go to the Lin family? Did you see Miss Lin?"

Jiang Liuyun felt very uncomfortable when this matter was mentioned.

Jinniang sensed this, stood up, gently massaged Jiang Liuyun's temples, and then spoke:
“My lord, Miss Lin is indeed a formidable person. I was terrified just listening to what you went through that day.”

Jiang Liuyun felt a complex mix of emotions when he thought of Lin Zhiqing:

"She still abandoned me in the end."

"My lord, you still have me, and you still have the Marquis," Jinniang said softly.
"Besides, Miss Lin didn't abandon you; she betrayed you and trampled on your sincerity. You shouldn't think about such a person anymore."

Jiang Liuyun grasped Jinniang's hand: "You don't understand, she..."

Jiang Liuyun wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

He gripped the jade pendant tightly and said, "Jinniang, I need to use the guards I left for you earlier. I'll make it up to you after I rescue my father."

Jinniang smiled and said, "My lord, this is yours to begin with. You may use it if you wish."

"How are you going to save the Marquis?"

"I only have some fragmented ideas; they haven't taken shape yet," Jiang Liuyun replied.

Jinniang didn't ask any further questions, but instead sat down in Jiang Liuyun's lap:
"My lord, if there is anything I can do to help you, please be sure to tell me."

Jiang Liuyun hugged Jinniang, seemingly seeking warmth from her:
"You're usually very understanding, I won't let you take any risks."

“My lord is so good to me, of course I must repay you properly.” Jinniang gently drew circles on Jiang Liuyun’s chest.

Jiang Liuyun sighed softly:

"Fortunately, this Cangxiang Pavilion isn't listed under the Zhenyuan Marquis's property; otherwise, where would you have gone?"

"Jinniang, you're all I have left, please don't leave me."

Jinniang smiled gently and left a kiss on Jiang Liuyun's lips:

"Of course I will not leave you, my love."

Jiang Liuyun's heartstrings were touched by her, and he picked her up and carried her into the inner room.

Where he couldn't see, Jinniang's smile grew even more meaningful.

If you look closely, you can see the lingering affection and reluctance to part.

A light veil falls, bringing joy to the room alone.

At the same time, the fact that Marquis Jiang Liuyun of Zhenyuan framed Marquis Lin of Wangshu for joining the army and betraying the country quickly became a hot topic among the people of Shengjing.

The wrongful conviction from many years ago has been overturned, and the reputations of the Jiang family of Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion and the Lin family of Changning Marquis's Mansion have been reversed.

Many people even gathered at the entrance of the Ministry of Justice, wanting to see what the once glorious Marquis of Zhenyuan would look like as a prisoner.

However, instead of Jiang Yunhe, the crowd received a notice from the Ministry of Justice.

Jiang Yunhe's execution was scheduled for one day later!

So fast!

It should be noted that even when Lin Congyan committed a crime, he had to go through the procedures at the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review before being executed.

However, Jiang Yunhe's case is special, and the three judicial departments have already conducted a joint trial.

Such a swift execution clearly indicated that there was no room for further explanation.

Jiang Liuyun, who was in the crowd, also saw the announcement.

He not only saw the announcement, but also spotted Lin Zhiqing's maid, Chaoyan, and Yunfeng beside Lu Huai in the crowd.

The two were overjoyed when they saw the news.

Jiang Liuyun gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

But in the end, he turned around and walked towards the Cangxianglou.

As always, Jinniang was very considerate. After helping Jiang Liuyun change his clothes, she ordered him a cup of calming tea.

Jiang Liuyun, holding the teacup, took Jinniang's hand:

"Jinniang, I had some silver left, which I put in your box."

"If my plan fails this time, you can take the money and leave."

Jinniang frowned:

“My lord, what nonsense are you talking about? Your plan will surely succeed, and I will always stay by your side.”

"Listen to me, I'm barely able to protect myself right now, I have to leave you a way out." Jiang Liuyun took a deep breath:

"This capital city is still too big. I've been walking for so long and still haven't been able to get out. I hope you can get out."

Jinniang straightened Jiang Liuyun's clothes and asked a very sudden question:

"My lord, do you still love Miss Lin?"

Jiang Liuyun was taken aback and remained silent for a long time without being able to answer.

Jinniang understood his meaning, but still spoke with some reluctance:
"My lord, if one day I were to stand on the opposite side from her, who would you choose?"
