In the prison, time stands still.
In the blink of an eye,
two days have passed in the outside world.
The death of the Third Madam of the Qinghe Marquis Mansion has now stirred up quite a commotion.
Because this involves the descendants of nobility.
The Qinghe Marquis was among the first batch of nobility during the founding of Great Xia.
After generations of inheriting the title, the name of the Qinghe Marquis now exists in name only.
It holds only an empty title, without real power or land.
But over these many years, although the line of nobility has declined considerably, its influence remains substantial and they have become even more united.
The murder of the Lord's Third Madam is already a matter of public knowledge in the prefecture city.
It is rumored that a young marquis from the prefecture city has come down personally to investigate the matter.
Yet of this, even Jiang Ning is unaware.
