"Madam seems to have misunderstood something." After pondering for a while, He Yan spoke.

It would have been fine if she hadn't spoken. As soon as she spoke, Tang Ying immediately became agitated and pointed at her nose and scolded, "Misunderstanding? You and Fan Cheng had an affair before I married you, and after I married him, it was still unclear. Are you happy to be someone else's mistress? I think you are stubborn and still want to be the mistress of my Fan family!"

He Yan has a headache.

This lady is really unreasonable. She looks beautiful and graceful, but how can she speak so harshly? She said seriously: "Madam, you may ask carefully. I did know Mr. Fan before, but since you entered the family, I have never looked for Mr. Fan again."

"You're talking nonsense. If you hadn't looked for him, how could he have given you something?"

"I am also troubled by this. If Madam can persuade Master Fan not to do this, I will be very grateful."

After she finished saying this, Tang Ying staggered a few steps and fell into a chair, with two lines of tears streaming down her face. "Bullshit... What a bullshit!"

He Yan looked at her with some sympathy. Even a fool could see that Fan Cheng was not a good match. Even if he didn't find He Yan, he would find another woman in the future. He Yan looked down on this Mr. Fan, but there were many other people in the world who were willing to commit themselves to marry into a wealthy family. The eldest daughter of this Chengwulang was more than suitable for Fan Cheng. With such beauty and family background, she was tied to Fan Cheng for the rest of her life. Isn't it a pity?

The maidservants and nannies beside Tang Ying hurried over and whispered to comfort her. After a while, Tang Ying finally wiped away her tears.

"You little bitch, you are always telling lies. How can I believe your nonsense for a moment?" she said.

"What exactly does Madam want?" He Yan looked at the sky, "It's getting late, I should go back."

"Go back?" The one who spoke was the old woman who was comforting Tang Ying. "You have done such a shameless thing, and you still want to go back. You have to stay here until our lady decides how to deal with you!"

He Yan: "...How dare you imprison me privately?"

The old woman looked at He Yan with disdain, "People from small families are ignorant. How can this be considered imprisonment? Since you are the one favored by our young master, you are half a member of the Fan family. As the mistress, isn't it right for the eldest grandmother to teach a servant a lesson? Even if we report it to the government, we are still right!"

He Yan was so angry that he laughed. How could he talk nonsense so seriously?

Seeing He Yan's smile, Tang Ying, who was hesitant at first, suddenly became angry and said, "Tie her up and throw her into the inner room. Let her starve for a night. Let's see if she is still so arrogant tomorrow!"

After all, she was a young lady from a wealthy family, and she had just married into her husband's family. She hadn't had time to learn those ruthless and cruel methods. If she wanted to vent her anger, she would just tie someone up, starve him, and scare him. He Yan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they didn't use a knife, she wasn't afraid. She was just afraid of causing trouble for the He family because of her status as the eldest daughter of the He family.

The women rushed over and tied He Yan up like a chicken. He Yan did not move from beginning to end, and obediently let them tie him up. Tang Ying watched and felt depressed again.

After they tied him up, they threw He Yan onto the bed in the inner room. The maid asked, "Grandma, do you want to leave someone here to watch over him..."

"What to leave behind?" Tang Ying said angrily, "Just leave her here alone until dark, and see if she's scared. If she's robbed by a passing thief," she showed a vicious smile, "I wonder if Fan Cheng will still want her!"

The group walked away in a mighty stream, and there was no more movement in the yard.

He Yan lay flat on the bed with his hands and feet tied, looking at the bed curtains quietly.

Not to mention, the bed is quite soft, and the tent seems to be made of fine soft gauze, so it seems that Grandma Fan treats her prisoner quite well. Suddenly, I felt a sense of regret, the same person has different fates, and the house that Madam Fan lives in is more luxurious than the house that the He family has carefully built.

Besides, this house is empty all day long, isn't it a waste?

She was lost in thought, and after making sure that there was no more movement outside, she made her move after another cup of tea.

Her hands were tied up and felt a little uncomfortable, but the way they tied people up was still random, like tying dumplings. She tried to reach out to touch the knot. You have to know that when she entered the barracks, she spent a full ten days learning how to unbutton and tie a knot. This kind of random knot is the easiest.

He Yan felt the shape of the knot and confirmed that it could be untied, so she reached out to untie it. But just as she was about to move, she heard footsteps outside. The footsteps were very light, but she had excellent hearing and could tell that it was a man, so she stopped what she was doing and turned her head to look outside the door.

Could it be that what Tang Ying said was right, and there really are flower thieves?

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and He Yan became a little nervous. He felt in his sleeves for a long time and touched a sharp bamboo branch.

It was too expensive to go to the weapon shop to make a hidden weapon. Now she was saving money and even made her own hidden weapons by picking bamboo. As He Yan thought about it, she felt sad for herself.

The footsteps were approaching, the door was pushed open, and a man dressed as a guard walked in.

He didn't expect that He Yan had her eyes open, her mouth blocked by a piece of rag, and was looking at him quietly. He was startled, and then he walked over quickly and whispered in He Yan's ear: "Miss He, don't be afraid. The young master asked me to save you."

It turns out that he didn't come to pick flowers, but to save lives.

The guard removed the rag from He Yan's mouth, then carried He Yan on his shoulders and said, "I will escort you out first."

He Yan was not used to this position, which made her feel as if she had become someone else's captive and was about to be dragged out by the enemy and beheaded.

But since they are well-intentioned, it is hard to say anything.

The guards took He Yan to a carriage, and the carriage quickly left the Fan family's house. He Yan said nothing, which made the guards a little nervous.

He thought he would hear He Yan crying and screaming when he came in. After all, Miss He was a timid and weak woman. Who knew that He Yan was fine when she came in. Even though her mouth was blocked, the expression on her face showed curiosity and caution, but not fear.

The guard had never seen such a woman before, and felt a little trembling in his heart. Fortunately, the carriage was running very fast, and it arrived in about an incense stick of time.

The guards helped He Yan off the carriage.

It was already completely dark.

The Chunlai River at night is no longer as lively as it was during the day, and becomes quiet and peaceful. On a night like this, there should be many pleasure boats here, singing and dancing, drinking and having fun. But today it is drizzling and the wind is cold, so there are only a few boats floating in the river, with a few faint fishing fires, which makes it seem particularly lonely.

He Yan raised her head, and the dense raindrops fell on her face, making her feel cool and itchy. She looked into the distance and said, "Why did you bring me here?"

The guard didn't dare to look at her face, and said with a fist: "The young master is waiting for you on the boat ahead. I will take you there now."
