After I traveled through the book, I became the favorite of the cold and indifferent prince.

Chapter 137 The Mansion is Besieged

Yan Qingwan pursed his lips and said seriously, "Master, please be careful."

"Okay." Si Jinchen looked at her, "Then I'll leave."

"Ah."

After Si Jinchen left, Yan Qingwan didn't continue to sleep in, but got up with a heavy heart.

After washing up, he ate a few bites of breakfast, but found that he couldn't eat anymore, so he put down his chopsticks, turned around and went to the next yard to check on Qi'an.

Qi'an is now over four months old and can already recognize people.

Yan Qingwan had just walked in. When he heard the noise, he turned his head to look. Then he excitedly clenched his fists and let out an "Ahhh" sound.

Yan Qingwan walked forward with a smile, stretched out his hands and picked him up.

The last time on the way back home, two of Qi'an's wet nurses and maids were unfortunately killed.

Yan Qingwan had them buried properly and gave generous compensation to their families.

This incident attracted widespread attention, and even Mrs. Xie from the Xie Mansion heard about it.

Old Madam Xie was very concerned about Qi'an's condition, so the next day, she asked the housekeeper to send several reliable wet nurses and maids to the house to ensure that Qi'an received the best care.

Yan Qingwan held Qi'an in her arms and played with him for a while, then instructed the nanny beside her to pack up some of Qi'an's food, clothes and daily necessities and send them to the main courtyard next door. Qi'an would live with her for the next few days.

After giving the instructions, Yan Qingwan carried Qi'an back to the next yard.

The morning was relatively calm, except for the constant drizzle of rain.

After lunch, the guards came to report that many people with weapons appeared on the street outside.

Yan Qingwan said calmly, "Guard your own mansion well, and don't worry about what's happening outside. If the other party wants to break into the mansion, just fight them, don't be polite."

The guard nodded in agreement and then turned and left.

Yan Qingwan looked at Qi'an in the cradle beside him, feeling a little worried, but he didn't show it on his face.

She knew these people were coming for them, but she believed Si Jinchen.

Qi'an seemed to sense Yan Qingwan's uneasiness. He lay quietly in the cradle, blinking his big eyes at her.

Yan Qingwan smiled at him.

When Qi'an saw his mother paying attention to him, he grinned at her and saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth again.

Yan Qingwan couldn't help laughing and picked up a spare handkerchief beside him to wipe his saliva.

Sure enough, within half an hour.

Another guard came into the yard to report that the mansion was surrounded by people, and someone shouted loudly, asking everyone in the mansion to hand over Madam Shi and Young Master Shi, and then let the rest of the people in the mansion go.

Yan Qingwan's eyes were cold, "Tell them that Madam Shi and Young Master Shi are here, come in if you have the guts."

"Yes!" The guards retreated immediately.

Soon, there was a noise outside, so loud that Yan Qingwan could hear it even in the backyard.

From afternoon to sunset, the sounds outside never stopped.

Until it got dark.

The person leading the group outside seemed to have received some new information, and a fierce look flashed across his face.

He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and after brewing for a while, he stood in front of the gate and shouted loudly inside: "Go and inform your Crown Princess. If she doesn't come out now, we will burn the mansion down, and then you will all be buried with the Crown Princess!"

When Yan Qingwan heard the news, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Could it be that these people couldn't help themselves so soon?

The other maids in the courtyard have begun to panic.

They didn't know what to do and could only look at Yan Qingwan.

Yan Qingwan took a deep breath. She knew that she couldn’t wait any longer.

After all, no one knows how long it will take Si Jinchen to come back after he goes out today.

At times like this, she can only rely on herself.

After thinking it through, she called Xiaoman Shiyu and the wet nurse who was holding Qian.

Looking at them, he instructed, "I don't know what will happen later. If anything goes wrong, you must take Qi'an and run away privately. Protect him, understand?"

Xiaoman and Shiyu all said anxiously, "Crown Princess."

Yan Qingwan looked at the two of them seriously, and continued in a low voice: "If you really escape, remember to hide in private for a few days, and wait until the situation in Jiangning Mansion has settled down. Then contact the Xie Mansion or the prince, do you understand?"

Xiaoman looked worried and anxious: "Crown Princess, let Shiyu take care of the little prince. I will follow you."

When Yan Qingwan heard this, she thought that the people outside were doing this for her and Qi'an. If things really came to that point and both of them disappeared, the other party would definitely not let it go.

Therefore, she shook her head and said seriously: "Take good care of Qi'an, and we will act according to circumstances later."

After saying that, she walked directly out of the backyard and came to the gate of Shi Mansion.

The guard at the door saw Yan Qingwan and immediately saluted and said, "Madam..."

Yan Qingwan waved his hand, signaling them not to speak.

She walked to the door, opened it, and looked at the group of people outside.

This group of people were wearing non-uniform clothing and were holding swords, sticks and clubs. Some of them were holding torches and firewood piles, and they looked aggressive.

The leading man immediately smiled smugly when he saw Yan Qingwan.

"Madam Shi, or I should call you the Crown Princess, are you finally willing to come out?"

Yan Qingwan glanced outside, then looked at him and asked coldly, "Who are you? Why are you surrounding the Shi Mansion?"

The man smiled and said, "Crown Princess, we are just following orders. As long as you and the little grandson come out, we will leave immediately."

Yan Qingwan sneered in her heart, these people were indeed coming for her and Qi'an.

She said expressionlessly: "You are dreaming."

The man's face changed, and he said, "Crown Princess, you have to think it over carefully. If you are unwilling to come out, we will have to burn down the Shi Mansion. I don't think you would want to see such a scene."

Yan Qingwan: "Could it be that you don't care about the officers and soldiers of Jiangning Prefecture? I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise when the officials come, you will bear the consequences yourself."

The man laughed out loud as if he had heard something funny. "Crown Princess, do you think that telling the officers and soldiers about this will stop us? We may not be able to tell for sure."

When he said the last sentence, he sneered and then waved to the people behind him to take action.

Yan Qingwan's eyes turned cold, she knew that a fierce battle was about to begin.

So he waved to the guards behind him who had been patient for a long time.

The two sides immediately started fighting, and the fight was fierce.

The guards were soldiers who had always followed the prince, fought in battles, and shed blood.

Each of them was agile, and the knives in their hands drew cold streaks in the air, and each knife was aimed at the vital points of the people outside.

Although the opponents claimed to be soldiers from Jiangning Prefecture, they quickly felt the gap between the two sides once they started fighting.
