After Xue Luoyan took Tianbao away, everyone looked out the window and saw Ye Hanyun riding a horse chasing the wedding procession.

Li Xiaoning also pulled Mei Jing'an and Zhu Ling'er out. Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to follow.

When they were about to leave the capital, the ropes that tied Yan Zishu and the cloth stuffed in her mouth had all been removed.

Yan Zishu would have to say goodbye to her relatives later, and the maids saw that she showed no resistance or reluctance, so they untied her with peace of mind.

When they arrived at the city gate, Yan Zishu got off the carriage in her bright red wedding dress. She first kowtowed in the direction of her home, and then bowed to Yan Sanlang and Yan Silang who had come to see her off.

The two looked at each other expressionlessly and said nothing.

Yan Sanlang had nothing to say to his younger sister, and Yan Silang had nothing to say to his older sister.

"Okay, let's get on with our journey now that we're done saying goodbye." Yan Sanlang said in a cold voice.

The maid quickly helped Yan Zishu get on the carriage. At this time, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer.

“Zishu…!”

Yan Zishu turned her head suddenly and looked at him, "Third Brother..."

Yan Sanlang's face darkened. "Take the young lady upstairs and don't let her out."

The two maids quickly grabbed Yan Zishu and stuffed her into the carriage. During the process, Yan Zishu accidentally fell and kept looking back.

Ye Hanyun quickly got off the carriage and was about to rush towards Yan Zishu, but at a command from Yan Silang, he was surrounded by several guards who were there to escort the bride.

"Zi Shu..."

"Third brother..."

The two of them were like a pair of star-crossed lovers, one was stuffed into a carriage, and the other was pinned to the ground by several guards.

The crowd watching was in an uproar. Originally, everyone had only heard the rumors about the Wu'an Earl's Mansion and did not really believe them.

After all, rumors are not something that can be fully believed.

But today... everyone witnessed with their own eyes that Wu Anbo's illegitimate son and his legitimate daughter actually experienced a life-and-death separation before their marriage.

If they were ordinary people, they would definitely condemn the Wu'an Earl's Mansion for breaking up the couple.

But... they are half-siblings, which is disgusting.

Seeing that the looks people gave them were becoming more and more uncomfortable, Yan Sanlang became very angry because his home was already a mess.

His second sister was broken off from engagement, his eldest sister-in-law had a miscarriage, and now Zishu was also married off far away. He still dared to come out and let people laugh at him. Did he really think they wouldn't dare to do anything to him?

"Zi Shu, don't marry, don't marry." Ye Hanyun shouted loudly.

"Shut his mouth and beat him hard. Beat him to death." After Yan Sanlang said this, he kicked him a few times and then asked everyone to beat him.

"No, no... You can't hit him anymore, he is still injured..." Yan Zishu struggled so hard that the two maids almost couldn't hold her back.

"If you hit him again, I won't marry you. I'll die in front of you." Yan Zishu pulled out the hairpin from her head and pointed it at her neck.

"Wow…"

The onlookers were extremely shocked. This was even more exciting than going to the theater to watch a play.

Tianbao and the others were also among them. Watching the farce in front of them, everyone mourned for the other men and women of the Yan family. After this incident, they were criticized even more.

"Stop!" Yan Sanlang shouted.

Several guards stopped, and Ye Hanyun reached out to Yan Zishu painfully, "Zishu, why do you want to get married?"

Yan Zishu couldn't stop crying. She shook her head and said, "Third brother, you have to be good and find a good girl... I'm leaving."

She couldn't stay any longer, for she was afraid she would not be able to leave.

Yan Zishu got on the carriage. Ye Hanyun stood up and tried to stop her, but was kicked away by Yan Silang, who had been unable to bear it any longer.

Ye Hanyun was unable to get up even after the wedding carriage had gone a long way.

“Hahaha…Isn’t this Ye Hanyun? Your reputation has become well-known in the capital recently.” Xue Ziming walked over with a few of his men.

He was full of sarcasm and insults towards Ye Hanyun.

Tianbao and the others didn't stay any longer, but turned around and left.

When Tianbao and her friends returned home, someone from the palace came and asked Tianbao to go into the palace.

Imperial Palace - Imperial Study

When Tianbao arrived, in addition to the emperor, there were also Xue Jue and Xue Daxueshi in the imperial study.

"County Princess, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Is Shubai okay?" asked Grand Scholar Xue.

"Shu Bai is very good. He is becoming more and more mature and can now stand on his own."

Academician Xue smiled with relief. He had scolded Li Shubai, a student, quite often.

I started taking him in because of Tianbao, and later I found that although Li Shubai was not as smart as Tianbao, he also had his own personality.

It is precious to be able to keep your original intention at all times.

"Tianbao, did you watch a good show today?" asked the emperor.

Tian Bao smiled and nodded, "Father knows everything?"

The emperor laughed and nodded, "Xue Zhang has been making small moves recently, and he thought I didn't notice."

"Father, I think there is no need to keep Marquis Wu'an. He still has some military power in his hands. We have to find a way to get it." Xue Jue said.

The emperor nodded and said, "Wu Anbo can't stay any longer. Who do you think can take on this position? How about Yan Dalang?"

"Your Majesty, we can let Yan Dalang work for us. Right now, the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion is on the edge of a cliff. If we are not careful, it will fall and be smashed to pieces.

We throw out the bait and let them make the choice." Xue Daxueshi continued.

The emperor looked at Tianbao and asked, "Tianbao, do you think Yan Dalang is more reliable than Wu Anbo?"

Tianbao nodded and replied, "We can give it a try. We can tell them about the collusion between Wu Anbo and Xue Zhang. Then it depends on their own choice."

"It's feasible." The emperor agreed.

Wu'an Earl's Mansion

Yan Dalang returned to the room tiredly. Mrs. Yan had already fallen asleep. He tucked his wife in and went out again.

"Young Master, someone just delivered a letter, saying that you must open it in person. It's a very important matter and very mysterious. After saying that, the person disappeared in the blink of an eye." The subordinate came to report, still holding a letter in his hand.

Yan Dalang reached out to take the letter, waved his hand to let him go, and then opened the letter in his hand.

After reading the contents of the letter, Yan Dalang's heart was so shattered that he hurried to the lady's yard with the letter.

The two discussed for a long time.

The next day, Wu Anbo asked for leave and stayed at home, saying that his old illness had relapsed.

Wu Anbo did not attend court for three consecutive days, and on the fourth day, Wu Anbo's mansion issued a obituary.

Everyone was shocked. How could Wu Anbo die?

As soon as Wu Anbo left, Yan Dalang handed over all the military power in Wu Anbo's hands.

The emperor allowed Yan Dalang to inherit the Earl's Mansion, which would be passed down for five generations, and also gave Yan Dalang a powerful position.

This made Yan Dalang and Mrs. Bo breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that they had made the right bet.

Tianbao and Qian Mengyao came to pay their respects together, but Mei Jingyan and Li Xiaoning did not come.
