Immediately afterwards, a maidservant stepped down from the carriage opposite and said directly to Xu Liang and the others, "Master Xu, my eldest princess invites you to come with us."
Upon hearing the words "Princess," Xu Liang's expression immediately changed. He was aware of the major events that had occurred in the capital these past few days.
If he remembered correctly, the eldest princess's son was beheaded by the regent. As for the specific reason, it seemed that he had ordered someone to kill Yunzhi.
It now seems that the eldest princess has set her sights on them.
Xu Liang wanted the driver to turn the horse around, but when he turned around, he saw several burly men staring at them menacingly.
There was no way to escape; he could only go down and see what the princess wanted to see him about.
Jiang was somewhat frightened. She tugged at Xu Liang's sleeve and whispered, "Master, I have a bad feeling. Is the princess going to kill us?"
"Don't overthink it, she won't kill us for now. I'll go down and check the situation first. You all stay in the carriage."
Xu Liang was about to get off the carriage when the old woman spoke up again, "Master Xu, you don't need to get off. Just follow my princess's carriage."
Xu Liang paused in his action after dismounting, then retreated back into the carriage.
The coachman was somewhat frightened, but he had no choice but to drive the carriage behind the princess's carriage.
After many twists and turns, through countless alleys, the carriage finally came to a stop.
Xu Liang looked around and realized that this place was completely unfamiliar to him, and it was not the Princess's residence.
At this moment, the old woman spoke again, saying, "You may all come down."
As soon as the family entered the courtyard, a woman's voice came from behind them.
"Lock them up!"
Upon hearing this, the entire Xu family of four paled. Jiang and her two sons looked at Xu Liang and asked, "Husband, what should we do?"
“Madam, don’t worry, we should be safe for the time being. If I’m not mistaken, the Princess probably wants to use us to lure Zhizhi here.”
"What? Then isn't Zhizhi in danger?" Jiang Shi immediately became worried upon hearing this. She would rather the princess target them than Yunzhi.
"Let's wait and see. Now that we're here, we can't escape anyway. We'll just have to see when Zhizhi comes to rescue us."
"What if they've set a trap? Wouldn't Zhizhi be walking right into it if she came to rescue us?" Jiang was even more worried, afraid that Yunzhi would be tricked, and even more afraid that something would happen to her.
"Don't worry, Zhizhi is very smart, she will definitely find a way. Let's wait and see if there's a chance to escape. If we can escape, that would be great, but if we can't, we can only wait for Zhizhi to come."
The family, filled with worry for Yunzhi, were locked in a dark cell.
Fortunately, although the cell was dark, it was relatively clean, and apart from being a bit damp, there was nothing else there.
Yunzhi quickly received news from Anlou that her uncle's family had been taken away by the Princess, and she immediately rushed back.
As soon as she entered the city gate, someone handed her a letter.
Yunzhi looked at it and saw that it was written by the Grand Princess. It said that if Yunzhi wanted to see Xu Liang's family, she should go to the address in the letter.
But Yunzhi was allowed to go alone, and she was threatened that if she dared to tell Dongli Lucang about this, all she would see were Xu Liang and the others' corpses.
Yunzhi's expression turned cold. She told Rulan to return to the villa by herself, and rode her horse toward the address on the letter.
Since the eldest princess is determined to court death, then she will grant her wish.
