After Jiang Qingyi left, Yan Ruxue brought the carriage back to the scene of the incident and woke up her mother, maid, and the guards.
When Madam Yan awoke, she was startled and quickly asked her daughter if something had happened.
Yan Ruxue explained that they had encountered assassins, but fortunately, an Immortal had been passing by and saved them.
Hearing that her daughter was unharmed, Madam Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Madam Yan decided against visiting the Buddhist Nun at Baideng Temple. Instead, she hurried back to their estate with her daughter to tell her husband what had happened.
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Yan Zhen, immediately went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When Yan Shanao learned of the event, he was enraged and ordered a full investigation.
Assassinating the family of a Court minister was a serious crime, to say nothing of the future Empress of the Zhou Kingdom!
