How strong could a little girl's grip be? Just as the second son was trying to break free, An Yuan'er said directly, "If you dare to run away, I will really die, and then you will have a hard time explaining yourself."
The second son and An Yuan'er stared at each other, and finally he sighed and raised his hand: "Grandma, I'll do whatever you say."
"What's your name? Who sent you?"
"The Sixth Prince was worried about Miss An, so he sent a servant to protect her."
"This servant is called...Second." The Second Servant stammered, feeling that his name was somewhat difficult to say.
He gritted his teeth inwardly, thinking, "Why am I ranked second? This is just too stupid."
An Yuan'er was somewhat surprised: "Yi Chenli?"
She found it strange that a year ago, when the Empress came to cause trouble and Murong Huan insulted Yi Chenli, no one came to her aid. If someone had helped, she and Yi Chenli wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.
The second prince probably guessed An Yuan'er's doubts: "This servant has only recently arrived in Tiansheng. Miss An can rest assured that the Sixth Prince has no ill intentions towards you."
At this moment, An Yuan'er's mind was racing. She suddenly realized that, without her noticing, Yi Chenli was no longer the same person he was yesterday.
He is a future tyrant, so how could he remain weak and submissive forever?
An Yuan'er realized that she seemed to have latched onto a very powerful and reliable person.
She chuckled for a while, then waved to the second brother: "Since you're here to protect me, you're mine now. You'll have to do things for me. I happen to have something to ask someone to do it."
The second son's mouth dropped open in surprise once again, forming an "O" shape. Miss An accepted it too quickly.
She at least doubted the veracity of his words, and besides, how could he have work to do so soon after taking office?
The second child looked aggrieved.
An Yuan'er whispered the matter to the second son in his ear and left happily.
The second prince once again sent a message by carrier pigeon to Chenyang Palace.
[The fourth young lady used trickery, exposing the second son's true identity. The fourth young lady assigned him a lot of work, and the second son was miserable, kneeling and begging his master for a raise.]
The second son received a raise as he wished. However, he was also completely assigned to the fourth young lady by his master.
The second brother felt he had been unfairly demoted from a high-ranking member of the secret guard to a lowly servant.
At Litingyuan, the second son reported the intelligence he had gathered to An Yuan'er.
"The woman at Huacai Residence is due to give birth. However, tomorrow is the auspicious day chosen by 'Master Zhang,' so the midwife gave Madam Lihua some medicine to delay her labor. But the medicine has some side effects, which may cause the baby to be born weak."
"This medicine looks very painful. When I went to check on her just now, Lady Lihua had already fainted several times from the pain. Even so, she still doesn't want to give birth today!"
An Yuan'er clenched her hands on the table and said, "Since the Madam is in so much pain, as her niece, I should help her so that I can see my brother soon."
"Go ahead and do it according to the original plan!"
With the birth of her second child, things went much more smoothly for An Yuan'er.

As dusk fell, a cold wind blew, and dozens of crows perched on the eaves of the An family's house, cawing loudly.
The cawing of crows is harsh and unpleasant, sending chills down one's spine.
The old lady was somewhat uneasy, and being superstitious, she went to the ancestral temple to pray for the An family's well-being.
For some reason, the old lady tried to light incense several times today, but it wouldn't light.
She bowed to her ancestors a few times, and as she was leaving, she tripped and fell hard. If her maid hadn't caught her in time, she might not have been able to hold on.
She hurriedly got up and said, "Quickly go and invite Master Zhang here, and ask him to tell us what's going on?"
