Earlier, Wei Shuwan entered Zhaoshui Hall, and Ziqiao and Miaoxiang returned to Fuquxuan first, so they did not know what had happened. They only ran out after hearing the noise outside and saw a group of yamen runners dragging away the Wei family.

Zi Qiao rushed over and blocked the way, angering the two constables who were holding Wei Shuwan. The two men shouted, "Let go! If you don't let go, we'll take you away too!"

Although the Emperor's decree only implicated the Wei family members and did not affect the servants, if the Wei family's servants dared to offend the officials, they would still have the right to take her away as well.

The two constables who had been pushed away by Zi Qiao earlier also caught up. Wei Shuwan knew that Zi Qiao alone could not defeat so many of them, and besides, the other party was an official. If Zi Qiao, a maid, really fought with them, she would be courting death.

Therefore, she quickly instructed Ziqiao: "Don't worry about me, go to the Sheng family for help!"

She whispered these words in Zi Qiao's ear, so no one else could hear them. Zi Qiao immediately understood and, without delay, quickly released Wei Shuwan and ran away!

The two constables had already been angered by her, and when they saw the little maid trying to escape, they chased after her! Fortunately, Zi Qiao was quick-witted and managed to escape into a room and then directly through the back door to the side courtyard. She then climbed a tree and fled the Wei family.

Seeing that the little maid was running very fast, the two constables couldn't abandon their duties just to vent their anger, so they had no choice but to turn back halfway and let her go.

After this commotion, the constables became even more rude. Even though the Wei family members were capable of walking on their own and had no intention of escaping, they insisted on dragging them out by force.

At the beginning of Hai hour, the moon had already risen high in the sky. As Wei Shuwan was being dragged out of the Wei family's gate, she inadvertently caught sight of an elegant carriage parked across the road. Her heart tightened involuntarily.

The green silk banner, the purple brocade, and the white horse—it was the very same carriage she rode in when we first met Princess Yun'an.

Just then, the curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside, revealing half of the woman's face.

Princess Yun'an looked at Wei Shuwan, her smile unrestrained and flamboyant.

Wei Shuwan felt a chill creep down her spine...

The imperial edict had just arrived at the Wei family, and Yun An was able to be here on time to watch this grand show. Did she hear the news beforehand, or was all of this orchestrated by the Prince Jing's mansion?
