Inside the carriage, Old Lady Yan sat calmly, not at all panicked by the horse's galloping.
Suddenly, the horse neighed miserably and fell to the ground with a thud.
Immediately afterwards, the frame overturned and shattered after hitting the ground.
Before the carriage overturned, Old Lady Yan jumped off and ran towards the woods beside the official road. Unfortunately, she was blocked after only running a few dozen meters.
Looking at the masked men in front of her who were more numerous than before, the expression on Old Lady Yan's face was no longer as calm as before. She quickly took out the whistle from around her neck, put it to her lips and blew it.
The whistle sounded sharp and piercing. Almost at the same time as the whistle sounded, several masked men attacked with swords in hand.
She dodged the first sword but failed to dodge the second. Her arm was cut by the sharp sword and blood spurted out instantly.
There were rustling sounds coming from all around, and one of the masked men shouted, "Here they come, hurry up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the masked man quickly formed a sword formation.
The sword flowers denser than snowflakes came at her. Old Mrs. Yan tried her best to dodge, but she was still unable to avoid them. She felt a chill in her heart, and when she looked down, she saw a black sword stuck in her heart, and the tip of the sword went straight through her back.
"Ah~~~" She screamed madly, drew out the sword with her backhand, and ignoring the blood flowing out of her chest, swung the sword to chop off the head of the person in front of her.
At the same time, the sword behind her stabbed her, and the long sword pierced her abdomen. She screamed in panic, trying to save her life by going crazy.
At the moment when she fell unconscious, there was only one thought in her mind: she couldn't die. That person was still alive. She didn't deserve to die...
The rustling sound was approaching their ears. The masked men looked up and saw countless snakes, insects, rats and ants swarming in like a tide. The scene was terrifying and extremely weird.
After cutting off the poisonous snake that attacked him, another one would come and he could not cut them all.
Several people looked anxiously at the masked man beside Old Lady Yan.
Finally, after a few breaths, the masked man took his hand away from Old Lady Yan's neck, stood up and made a gesture to retreat.
But in an instant, the group disappeared into the dense forest, taking away the severed head and headless body.
When the coachman came running, only the body of Old Lady Yan and a few small snakes that had not had time to retreat were left.
At the end of noon, the palace received the news of Old Madam Yan's death. Yan Muxi felt relieved and let out a long sigh.
She spent ten times the commission and informed the murder gang in advance about Old Lady Yan's strange behavior.
If you still can't get rid of the person after doing this, there will be no possibility of getting rid of him next time unless you invite the Great Immortal.
After receiving the obituary, Yan Muxi had to go to pay her respects as soon as possible. She quickly changed into plain white clothes and rushed to the Yan Mansion with Yu Wantai.
When the palace's carriage arrived at the entrance of the alley where Yan's mansion was located, a two-horse carriage had just entered the alley.
The two carriages stopped one after the other in front of the gate of Yan's Mansion, which was wide open.
The butler came out of the door with a group of servants. When he saw the two carriages, he was obviously stunned. Then he hurriedly trotted forward to greet them.
Yan Muxi was helped by Yu Wantai to jump off the carriage, and saw that it was the prince and Yan Muqing who got off the carriage in front.
When they got closer, the two sisters looked at each other, both with sad expressions, hiding their faces with handkerchiefs and sobbing and wiping away tears.
The man didn't need to show his emotions too much. Yu Jintang nodded and bowed, "Little Uncle Wang."
"Yeah!" Yu Wantai nodded in response, and was about to go in with Yan Muxi, when he saw the guard pulling down the soul-guiding banner on the gate.
"What are they doing?" Yu Jintang asked in surprise.
The housekeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Reporting to His Royal Highness, the old lady has been rescued and is still alive!"
"Grandma is not dead?" Yan Muqing exclaimed in surprise, then realized that her words and actions were inappropriate, and quickly changed her expression to surprise, "Grandma is still alive, how good, how good!"
After saying that, she subconsciously looked at Yan Muxi. Yan Muxi was also panicking, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her tone was just the right amount of joy. "Grandma is fine now, so quickly remove all these things. It's just adding bad luck."
The butler nodded and bowed in response, then led the few people in.
When the group arrived at Fujuyuan, Su and Qian Manman greeted them at the gate.
There were large red marks around Su's eyes. Qian Manman and the others also had red eyes, and they all looked like they had cried a lot.
After greeting each other, Yan Muqing asked anxiously, "What happened? How could my grandmother be assassinated and appear dead and alive again?"
"Let's talk inside." Su didn't care about the distinction between men and women, and led everyone into the main room, sat them down, and explained the whole story in detail.
Old Mrs. Yan was stabbed when she went out of the house to burn incense. When she was brought back to the house, she was covered in blood. After confirming that she was dead, Mrs. Su ordered people to set up a mourning hall and issue an obituary.
Unexpectedly, after the female witch doctor came to the house, the old lady who had originally died came back to life. At this moment, Old Doctor Fang and the female witch doctor were still in the inner room treating the old lady's injuries.
As soon as Su finished speaking, people from the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion also rushed over. Because Yan Mujun was still in confinement, it was Gu Yunting and Madam Gu who came to pay their respects.
Su gave another explanation, and Mrs. Gu Si said a few polite words, then returned to the Marquis' Mansion with the condolences, leaving only Gu Yunting behind.
Seeing that only his family members were left in the house, Yan Muxi asked, "How could grandma be assassinated in broad daylight under the emperor's feet? Has mother gone to the government to report it?"
"I was too flustered to report to the authorities. Half an hour ago, I sent people to the nearby government office. By now, the officials should be arriving soon," Su said truthfully.
Yan Muqing subconsciously glanced at Yan Muxi, but Yan Muxi did not look at her. Instead, he said angrily, "It is not enough to just report to the nearby government office. We also have to contact the Dali Temple. We must catch the person who harmed my grandmother."
Yu Jintang took over the conversation, "Don't worry, Aunt Wang. I will send someone to the Dali Temple to arrest the murderer who assassinated the old lady."
The group talked to their son for a while and saw Old Doctor Fang coming out from the inner room.
"How is my mother?" Su stood up and asked anxiously.
Doctor Fang bowed to the prince first, then said slowly: "Although the old lady is seriously injured, her life is not in danger for now. After a few days of recuperation, her body will be able to recover as before."
Hearing this, Su breathed a long sigh of relief, while Qian Manman burst into tears and wiped away her tears, crying and laughing at the same time. The others were also delighted.
Now that Yan Yongchen has gotten into trouble and the old lady has suffered misfortune again, it seems as if the sky has fallen in the mansion.
The old lady was able to escape death and save her life, and everyone seemed to see hope again.
When night fell, Yan Muxi and others said goodbye and left the Yan Mansion.
After getting on the carriage, Yan Muxi's forced mask could no longer support him and he leaned against the carriage to calm himself.
How could a person who had lost all his breath and was completely dead come back to life? She spent a lot of money and thought of all the details, but she still failed to get rid of him.
Seeing that Yan Muxi looked very bad, Yu Wantai stretched out his hand and wanted to hold her in his arms. When his hand touched Yan Muxi's body, Yan Muxi shivered violently, raised her eyes and met his gaze, and the fear in her eyes slowly faded away.
"It's okay, don't be afraid."
Yan Muxi forced a smile and said, "I'm not scared, I'm just worried."
Yu Wantai held her in his arms and said nothing more.
He intuitively felt that Yan Muxi didn't seem to want the old lady of the Yan family to be alive.
But why? Old Lady Yan was her grandmother, why would she want her grandmother to die?
