Fu Anran saw the guards coming forward and kneeling before Zhao Yun, saying, "Your Highness, please forgive me for having called you brother-in-law before. I really didn't know that my grandfather and uncle were planning a rebellion. If I had known, I would never have let them do it."

"Your Highness..."

Fu Anran was so panicked that he started to speak without thinking.

Gu Jingyu chuckled softly. After not seeing Fu Anran for a year, she still couldn't speak.

Zhao Yun's face turned even darker, and he waved his hand to let the guards drag Fu Anran away.

Fu Anran looked at Qingxuan and said, "Master, save me, save me..."

Qing Xuan looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Your Highness, I will go down the mountain with you, but please let Fu Anran go. She did not participate in the Fu family's rebellion, and she came here to become a nun in order not to marry Zhao Jing or associate with him."

Zhao Yun said, "As long as you go back to the Wei family, it's not impossible to let Fu Anran go."

On the way down the mountain, Gu Jingyu looked at Fu Anran in front of her and smiled, "I didn't expect that I can still call you sister-in-law."

Fu Anran said, "No, I don't want to be your sister-in-law anymore. I haven't wanted to be your sister-in-law for a long time, and there's no way I'm going to compete with Sister Xiangye for a husband."

Gu Jingyu smiled faintly and said, "Master Qingxuan is also my cousin."

Fu Anran blushed when she heard what Gu Jingyu said.

Qingxuan did not explain, but just followed them down the mountain.

It was already early morning when the group arrived at the Wei Mansion.

The lights in Madam Wei's courtyard were brightly lit, and she was already dying.

Queen Wei did not return to the palace tonight and stayed with Madam Wei.

Madam Wei kept thinking about the past. She looked at Queen Wei and said, "The person I owe the most in my life is you."

Queen Wei said, "Mother, please stop talking about this."

"Mother, Grandmother, Qingxuan is here."

Wei Zhan heard Zhao Yunzhi's voice coming from the door and looked out.

A man wearing a Taoist robe and looking quite immortal came in from outside, holding Fu Anran's hand.

Fu Anran saw the scene inside and hurriedly bowed, saying, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, the Empress, the Duke of Wei, and Madam Wei."

Qingxuan also followed Fu Anran in paying respects to the emperor and empress.

Queen Wei looked at Qing Xuan in front of her and said after seeing his appearance, "You look like your grandfather when he was young."

Madam Wei looked at Qing Xuan who was approaching, "Duke... are you here to pick me up?"

"Mother, this is Qingxuan, my brother's child in the Taoist temple."

Madam Wei stretched out her hand tremblingly.

Fu Anran saw this scene and pushed Qingxuan who was standing there.

Qingxuan walked up to Madam Wei and let her hand brush across his face. "Child, the Wei family is sorry for you... Zhan'er."

Wei Zhan knelt before Madam Wei and said, "Mother."

Madam Wei said, "Our family feels guilty towards this child. You must treat him well in the future..."

Wei Zhan said: "Mother, I will make it up to him."

Wei Zhan raised his eyes and looked at Qingxuan, the child he had not seen for twenty years since Qingxuan was born, but he knew at a glance that this was his child, perhaps because of their blood connection.

Madam Wei's hand slowly slid down Qingxuan's face and she took her last breath.

There was crying in the old lady's courtyard.

Qingxuan walked to the side and saw the white linen clothes handed to him by the maid. He frowned slightly, looked down and saw Fu Anran holding a silk flower and looking pleading. He still put on the mourning clothes over his Taoist robe.

As soon as the sun rises.

After Yun Xiangye and Gu Yan woke up, they heard the news from the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.

Yun Xiangye asked Gu Yan to take care of Nuonuo, Shunshun and Xinxin in the courtyard, while she went to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion to pay her condolences.

After Yun Xiangye paid her respects, she saw that the filial grandson who was kneeling to thank the guests who came to pay their respects was Taoist Qingxuan.

Yun Xiangye said to Taoist Qingxuan, "My condolences."

Taoist Qingxuan raised his eyes to look at Yun Xiangye and said softly, "Master Gu is back?"

Yun Xiangye lowered her voice and said, "He has returned, but it's not appropriate to make a big fuss about it, so he can't come to see Madam Wei off. I'll be here to see him off on his behalf."

Taoist Qingxuan nodded and said, "I hope the prince returns safely."

Yun Xiangye went to the reception room nearby to drink tea and rest.

The Wei family now has no female members, and the ones who came to entertain the female members today are all wives from the Wei family's side branches.

When Yun Xiangye came, all the ladies in the reception room stood up to greet her.

Yun Xiangye just nodded at them and went to find the two sisters Fu Qianran and Fu Anran.

When Yun Xiangye passed by, Fu Qianran was still comforting Fu Anran, saying, "How could His Highness possibly cause you trouble? The reason he said he wanted to punish you was just to force Taoist Qingxuan to come down the mountain."

Fu Anran said, "What does punishing me have to do with forcing the Taoist priest?"

Fu Qianran smiled and said, "My silly sister, don't you understand? Because Taoist Qingxuan likes you, he didn't want to come to the Wei family. After all, when the Wei family learned that the Yan family had an abortion in July, they turned a blind eye to the matter, which almost caused his mother's death. He has a grudge against the Wei family.

The reason he came to the Wei family was because of you."

Fu Anran was so frightened that she only realized it now and said with a blushing face, "I actually like the Taoist priest very much. He treats me very well."

Fu Qianran patted Fu Anran's head and said, "Shi An said Qingxuan is a reliable person. If you and he are in love and can become a couple, then I will be at ease."

Yun Xiangye said, "Then I can only wait to drink in my cousin and his wife's wedding wine."

Fu Anran saw Yun Xiangye coming over and said, "Sister Xiangye, please stop making fun of me."
