Parents are busy farming

Just when the two were in a stalemate, the driver who had left earlier suddenly showed up.

He climbed over the wall near the back door into the yard.

Ye Zifen hurried over and frowned when she saw the scene.

The driver came forward with an anxious look on his face and said, "Princess, the entire capital is in chaos now! Many of the mansions of high-ranking officials have been surrounded, and even our princess's mansion has not been spared. But fortunately, they knew that you, the princess, are not here, so they only surrounded the mansion, and no one dared to break in rashly. Master Mu is guarding the mansion at the moment, and she specifically asked me to come back quickly to report the situation to you. Don't worry about the princess's mansion, she is here!"

Ye Zifen nodded slightly, indicating that she knew about this matter, and then asked, "What is the situation at the General's Mansion and the Wang family?"

The driver quickly replied, "Princess, there is no one outside the General's Mansion and the Wang Family's gate. I think it's because they know that the owners of the mansions are not at home, so there is nothing worth besieging."

Hearing this, Ye Zifen nodded thoughtfully and muttered to herself, "It seems that the person behind the scenes must be a wealthy and powerful person, otherwise how could he let go of my generous dowry so easily?"

After that, she turned to look at Wang Chuanshan beside her and comforted him, "Now you can rest assured, this professional has arrived. With him by my side to protect me, you can leave with peace of mind."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chuanshen nodded repeatedly as if relieved of a heavy burden, and then hurriedly walked towards the back.

At this moment, the butler was still dealing skillfully with the person outside the door.

Unlike Ye Zifen, the butler's attitude when speaking was not as tough, but he also talked about irrelevant things and avoided the main issues.

After all, neither side can see each other, so just argue as much as you want.

The ones who were truly anxious were the group of people outside the door. Perhaps they had been instructed by their superiors when they came here to avoid conflict as much as possible.

At this moment, the originally peaceful and tranquil sky above the capital was suddenly torn apart by a burst of earth-shaking shouts and cries of killing.

The sound was like surging waves, rolling in from the direction of the imperial palace and resounding through the sky. The entire capital seemed to be trembling in this deafening sound.

Ye Zifen was standing in the courtyard, holding a gleaming dagger in her hand, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

However, when the sudden shouting and screaming reached her ears, she couldn't help but tremble all over, her hands shook, and she almost dropped the dagger to the ground.

The shouts and screams actually came from the palace gate! Ye Zifen's heart was instantly grasped by an invisible hand, and a strong sense of foreboding surged into her heart like a tide.

She widened her eyes and looked nervously in the direction of the palace, praying silently in her heart that everything would be safe and sound.

Almost at the same time, the group of mysterious people who had been guarding the door of the Hong family suddenly took action as if they had received some signal.

They quickly gathered around the Hong family, their steps were hurried and chaotic, and a noisy sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the wall of the Hong family.

I only heard one of them shouting loudly: "Charge in, leave no one behind!"

Following this order, those people launched a fierce attack on the Hong family like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Dull and heavy impact sounds continued to be heard, and each one seemed to hit people's hearts.

The extremely solid gate of the Hong family has become shaky under the crazy attack of this group of rebels, and it seems that it may collapse at any time.

When the butler saw this scene, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he quickly retreated back from the door in panic.

"Princess, this...is the fight starting now? How should we respond?"

The butler asked anxiously while panting.

Ye Zifen's face was terribly gloomy at this time. She clenched her teeth tightly, looked forward with a firm gaze, and shouted loudly: "Butler, go to the back and protect grandpa and grandma! Leave this to me!"

The housekeeper nodded repeatedly, not daring to be negligent in the slightest, and turned around and ran hurriedly to the backyard.

He knew in his heart that if he stayed here he would not only be of no help, but might even become a burden.

Looking at the housekeeper's departing back, Ye Zifen took a deep breath and calmed her inner panic.

Then, she raised her voice again and ordered everyone around her: "Don't panic! Quickly block the gate and don't let anyone in. The rest of you, follow me, quickly climb up the wall and shoot the enemy with bows and arrows!"

I saw a group of well-trained servants nimbly climbing up the towering wall, holding strong bows and crossbows in their hands, with the bowstrings pulled like a full moon.

Sharp arrows flashed with cold light, all aimed at the rebels surging below.

Ye Zifen, standing on the wall, had a sharp gaze as she personally directed this fierce battle. Her eyes swept sharply over the dense crowd below, and her face looked particularly grim.

"Here, strengthen the defense! We must not let these rebels break through our defense line!" Ye Zifen shouted loudly, her voice clear and loud, echoing throughout the entire battlefield.

As her orders were given, the servants adjusted their positions and shooting angles, and a dense rain of arrows poured down on the rebels like a swarm of locusts.

However, the rebels did not seem to be afraid of the rain of arrows and they continued to charge forward fearlessly.

Seeing this scene, Ye Zifen frowned and secretly thought about how to deal with it.

Just then, she noticed that some rebels began to move in several other directions, attempting to bypass the front line of defense and attack the Hong family.

Ye Zifen was quick-witted and immediately pointed at one of the strong servants and said, "You, take a team of people and quickly patrol the various places of the Hong family. Make sure that no corner is missed. If you find any abnormal situation, you must report it to me immediately!"

The servant nodded without hesitation and hurried away with his brothers.

At this moment, Old Madam Hong in the inner house of the Hong family was pacing back and forth anxiously. Her face was full of anxiety and her hands were shaking constantly.

"Someone come! Go to the front and check what happened to Zifen. Is she injured?" Old Madam Hong shouted anxiously.

Before she finished her words, she assigned another person to rush to the front line to gather information, and instructed him to report the battle situation back continuously.

Everyone knew how much Madam Hong cared about Ye Zifen, so no one dared to delay and they all immediately followed the order and left.

Although they were also terrified in their hearts, they still rushed towards the dangerous battlefield ahead.
