If her uncle and his men come knocking on their door like this, the An family certainly won't sit idly by; they might even report it to the authorities. She has to go and get reinforcements; she can't let them suffer a loss.
Meanwhile, Xu Liang and his family had spent the entire night gathering information about the Dingyuan Marquis's estate. Knowing that they had lost their title, they were quite pleased.
After learning that it was the Regent who stripped An Xiuyuan of his title, her goodwill towards the Regent increased.
Regardless, the Regent's actions can be seen as a way of venting Yunzhi's anger. Of course, the Regent is the Regent, and they are different people; they represent different things.
Therefore, we should still demand an explanation.
People in the capital were naturally curious when they saw a large group of people walking down the street early in the morning. Upon inquiring, they learned that Yunzhi's family had gone to An Xiuyuan to demand an explanation and had then followed them.
They certainly didn't want to miss such a great show.
Therefore, when Xu Liang and his group arrived at the gate of the An residence, there were no longer just a dozen or so people, but dozens.
The gatekeeper of the An family was terrified when he saw the large crowd outside the mansion. Just as he was about to step forward to ask what they wanted, Xu Lin took the lead and pushed the gatekeeper aside, saying, "Bring An Xiuyuan out here. Our Xu family's daughter is not so easy to bully. The Yun family are cowards who dare not stand up for Yun Zhi. Our Xu family will stand up for her."
Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper turned pale with fright and scrambled into the mansion to report.
The gates of the An residence were wide open, saving the Xu family the trouble of kicking them down. They swaggered into the An residence to settle accounts with An Xiuyuan.
As for Yunzhi, she went directly to the Regent's Palace.
The guards at the gate of the Prince's mansion let her through immediately upon seeing her. Ever since Yunzhi's last visit, Lu Cang of Dongli had declared that Yunzhi could come to the mansion without waiting for notification.
After the guard let Yunzhi in, he immediately informed the steward. The steward then informed Lu Cang of Dongli.
Therefore, Yunzhi hadn't gone far when she saw Dongli Lu Cang coming towards her.
"Zhizhi, what brings you here? It's so early in the morning, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I'll have someone prepare some, you can eat with me in a bit."
"We might not have time for breakfast; we need to hurry and rescue them."
"Save someone? What happened? Who's in trouble?" Dongli Lu Cang frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled. It was so early in the morning; Mingyi hadn't even had a chance to report the news to him yet.
“My uncle and cousin felt that An Xiuyuan had bullied me and wanted to get revenge for me. They have already brought people to my door.”
Upon hearing this, Dongli Lu Cang laughed and said with a smile, "Your uncles are really great! These are your true family. No wonder your attitude towards them is different from your attitude towards the Yun family."
"Stop laughing, let's go save them. The An family isn't to be trifled with, they definitely won't let this go unpunished, and they might even report it to the authorities." Yunzhi rolled her eyes at Dongli Lucang's happy expression, tugged at his sleeve, and walked straight out.
Seeing Yunzhi's anxious expression, Dongli Lucang didn't delay any longer. He left the mansion with her, got into a carriage, and headed towards the main street where Anfu was located.
At the An residence, the gatekeeper rushed into the courtyard where An Xiuyuan lived. Seeing the maids and old women guarding the gate, he knew that his master had not yet gotten up, so he had no choice but to tell the old woman that the Xu family had brought people to attack the gate.
Upon hearing this, the old woman was alarmed. She went inside to inform An Xiuyuan while sending someone to deliver a message to the old lady.
