According to the laws of the current dynasty, Jiang Wanyue was indeed confined to the Wu Manor for the past few days, unable to step outside. Feeling uneasy, she repeatedly confirmed with Zishan that she had truly not tampered with anything that day. Zishan insisted on her innocence as well, which finally gave Jiang Wanyue a small sense of security.
Zishan even speculated, "Madam, could it be that this Lin Shanyue staged the whole thing herself? You know how devious she is. Besides, don’t you think Lord Xie’s arrival was far too coincidental? How could he have reached the Wu Manor so quickly?"
Jiang Wanyue was startled. "You’ve reminded me of something... Yes, that’s right, it is highly likely that she deliberately framed me! I knew it—when she agreed to come to the estate so readily, I felt it was too easy. So this was the trap she had waiting for me! I must tell my husband and my mother-in-law!"
