The three of them obediently stood by the wall and pressed their chubby faces against it.

“Mom, I’ll go first. They made a mistake and have to be punished.” Yu Wan hurriedly instructed and turned to leave Wutong Courtyard.

As soon as she left, the three of them pounced into Madam Jiang’s arms.

“Grandma! Grandma!” Xiaobao acted coquettishly.

Yu Wan was worried that the little fellows would cheat and that her mother would be soft-hearted. She took two steps and turned back. Madam Jiang stuck the three little black eggs back to the wall in a second!

Yu Wan looked at her three sons who were “obediently facing the wall” and nodded in satisfaction. At the critical moment, her mother was quite reliable.

Yu Wan went to Xixia Garden in relief. The quite reliable mother carried the three little black eggs back into her arms. Did it hurt to stand there? Kiss the babies, oh oh oh oh…

In Xixia Garden, Yu Wan saw Jiang Hai, Yue Gou, and Qing Yan. The three of them had strange expressions. Yu Wan glanced around. “Where’s Ah Wei?”

Yue Gou lowered his head. Qing Yan pressed his forehead helplessly. It was Jiang Hai who said after a moment of silence, “He didn’t come back.”

Yu Wan’s eyes flickered. “What do you mean by he didn’t come back? Did he stay in the State Preceptor Hall or did he go somewhere else?” It couldn’t be that he had died there. Yu Wan refused to accept such an outcome!

Jiang Hai paused and said in a low voice, “He was captured and brought back to the State Preceptor Hall.”

Yu Wan heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that he was not dead, but soon, she was stunned again. “Caught? You were already out, but you were captured again?”

“That’s right.” Jiang Hai nodded. Thinking of that scene, he frowned. Ah Wan only knew that Ah Wei was an expert, but she did not know what realm he was an expert at. He had been with Ah Wei for a few days, so it was not difficult to see that even he and Qing Yan might not be a match for Ah Wei. It was precisely because of this that they could come and go freely in the tightly guarded State Preceptor Hall, but he was captured.

The moment Ah Wei was captured, he was dumbfounded. He thought that with Ah Wei’s skills, it would be difficult for him to meet his match. However, strictly speaking, Ah Wei was more than enough to escape himself. He had lured that group of people away to cover them, but he was captured.

“It’s my fault,” Jiang Hai said shamefully.

Qing Yan said coldly, “Isn’t it your fault? You clearly came out back then. You were the one who wanted to turn back, causing Ah Wei to save you.”

That day, they did not encounter any ambush on the way, so if they had stopped fighting that day, they could all return to the manor safely.

Qing Yan did not have a resentful personality. Even when Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao gave up the Red Lingzhi that they had painstakingly obtained, he did not show any resentment. This time, he was forced into a corner and vented all his anger on Jiang Hai.

Jiang Hai knew that he was in the wrong and did not refute.

Yu Wan looked at Qing Yan and then at Jiang Hai. She did not ask him why he was going back and only said, “Do you know a disciple called Wan Feng in the State Preceptor Hall?”

Qing Yan nodded. When he spoke to Yu Wan, his tone was much gentler. “Yes, Jiang Hai knows him. He was the one who secretly released us.”

When Wan Feng followed the State Preceptor to send her a thank you gift and steal her hair to verify if she had the holy artifact, Jiang Hai was also there. It was hard for Jiang Hai not to remember him.

Yu Wan said, “Is there a way to contact him?”

Qing Yan took out a small iron plate. “Yes, he gave us a pair of plates and told us to take it to the back door and said that we’re from the satin shop. Someone will naturally inform him.”

Yu Wan took the cards. “I’ll go look for him.”

Qing Yan grabbed her wrist. “You can’t go! Going up at this juncture is no different from walking into a trap!”

“No,” Yu Wan said. “I know my limits.”

With that, Yu Wan looked for Old Cui and asked him to change her appearance. Then, she changed into the clothes of an ordinary man and left the manor alone. She found a carriage shop and rented a carriage to the State Preceptor Hall.

She asked about the back door of the State Preceptor Hall and handed the plate to the guard. “I’m from the satin shop. I have something to discuss with Lord Wan Feng.”

When the guard heard Wan Feng’s name, his expression became respectful. After checking the plate and confirming that they were correct, he immediately reported to Wan Feng.

Wan Feng came quickly.

Yu Wan had long changed her appearance, but her figure and the plate she presented allowed Wan Feng to guess her identity.

Wan Feng walked out openly and said angrily in front of the guard, “What happened? Can’t you hand over the clothes I ordered? How do you do things?”

Yu Wan quickly apologized. “There was a small problem in the shop. I hope Lord Wan Feng can give me two days.” As she spoke, she was about to stuff banknotes into Wan Feng’s hands.

This action was not hidden. When the guard saw it, he treated himself as blind. Yu Wan did it on purpose for him.

Wan Feng coughed lightly and pressed Yu Wan’s hand. “Let’s talk over there!”

In the guard’s eyes, this meant that he was going to accept a bribe. It was just that it was not good for him to discover it, so he deliberately hid far away. The guard naturally would not report Wan Feng for such a small matter.

Wan Feng pulled Yu Wan to a big tree and looked around. He whispered, “Princely Heir Consort, why are you here?”

Yu Wan was not surprised that he could recognize her. After all, he had only given them the plate. From her figure, he could guess that it was her.

Yu Wan looked at him and said, “Ah Wei was arrested. I didn’t implicate you, right?”

He was the one who released Ah Wei and the other two. Yu Wan was worried that Ah Wei would expose their traces if he was captured and would implicate him in letting the four of them out of the State Preceptor Hall.

Yu Wan was actually worried about him. This made Wan Feng’s heart warm. He blinked his eyes that seemed to be able to speak and smiled. “I’m fine. I’m very cautious. No one discovered that I let them go.”

“That’s good.” Yu Wan’s expression softened. “I’m really afraid we’ll implicate you.”

“I’m very careful.” Wan Feng’s eyes sparkled like flashing gems. He thought of something and said seriously, “Besides, that young man was stubborn and didn’t say anything.”

“Ah Wei?” Yu Wan asked.

“His name is Ah Wei,” Wan Feng said. “Those people didn’t even get a name after asking for a long time.”

Yu Wan continued, “How is he? I heard that he was captured by a few powerful experts. Are they experts from the State Preceptor Hall?”

“No.” Wan Feng shook his head. “Our State Preceptor Hall doesn’t have such powerful experts. They’re from the Queen Manor.”

“The Queen Manor?” Yu Wan paused thoughtfully. “The last time Jiang Hai and Qing Yan barged into the Queen Manor, I’ve never heard of an expert more powerful than Ah Wei. Could it be that they missed it?”

Wan Feng hurriedly said, “They didn’t miss it. They weren’t around at that time and only returned today. Jiang Hai and the others happened to meet them.”

Yu Wan looked at Wan Feng in confusion.

Wan Feng explained, “The most powerful guard in the Queen Manor is not in the Queen Manor. Instead, he’s by the commandery prince’s side. The commandery prince is out on a school trip. I thought he would rush back to the Queen’s birthday banquet, but I heard that something happened to him halfway and his trip was delayed.”

Yu Wan’s eyes moved. “Is the commandery prince you’re talking about the child of the Prince Consort and the Queen?”

“You’ve heard of him?” Wan Feng was surprised.

Yu Wan thought to herself, Not only have I heard of him, but I’ve also asked around more than once. After all, he’s Yan Jiuchao’s half-brother. I also want to know what kind of person he is.

“Nangong Li,” Wan Feng said.

“Huh?” Yu Wan looked up.

“His name,” Wan Feng said.

Nangong Li…

Why did she feel that this name was familiar?
