"Hey, there are two groups of people blocking the way ahead." Fang Ruotang held a sugar figurine in her hand and looked at the suddenly crowded street.
The Crown Prince and the young prince quickly arrived at her side. Six of the guards who had been hiding in the street now appeared and surrounded the three of them for protection.
"Oh, it's Dafu! It must be my elder brother and sister-in-law who are back."
Fang Ruotang jumped up and saw the person driving the carriage, waving happily in that direction, "Dafu, Dafu..."
When Dafu heard someone calling him, he looked around and saw Fang Ruotang. He immediately cried out in alarm, "Sixth Miss!"
Brother Fang, who was riding his horse and negotiating with someone in front, didn't hear it, but Lei Pingting, who looked sickly inside the carriage, did.
She lifted the carriage curtain and looked around.
"Xiao Liu went out?"
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I'm here!" Fang Ruotang waved excitedly and pushed her way forward.
Lei Pingting quickly got off the carriage.
Dafu cried out anxiously from the side, "Young Madam, your health..."
"It's alright, hurry up and bring Xiao Liu over, don't let anyone crowd her." Lei Pingting stared intently at Fang Ruotang with her beautiful eyes.

"Hurry back to the manor and summon the imperial physician to take a look."
"Your older brother is negotiating with someone."
"Whose household is this? So rude!"
The carriages of the two prefectures meeting in the capital city happened countless times a day. It was customary for the one with lower power and status to yield.
Since the Fang family's carriage didn't give way, it means that the Fang family's social standing is not as good as that of the Prime Minister's family.
"It was a carriage from the Left Censor-in-Chief's Office of the Censorate."
"No wonder!"
Fang Ruotang was unaware of other official positions, but she was aware of the cases handled by the Three Departments and the Censorate during this period.
"Why aren't they letting us through?" Fang Ruotang anxiously peeked out and saw her older brother talking to five men. Judging from their expressions, they seemed to be arguing unhappily.
