Upon hearing the news, Nan Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted and her whole body froze in place.

It took her a while to react, and she immediately stood up and walked out.

"Girl!" Yue Ran and Bai Zhi followed closely behind.

At the gate of the prison.

"Father!" Nan Yuan ran down from the carriage and just happened to meet her father who was about to be taken to prison.

Nan Yuan asked Yue Ran to arrange things for the officers and soldiers, and only then were they allowed to pass.

"Yuan'er, I'm sorry for you." Father Nan looked guilty. "I wanted you to get married so that you could have someone to rely on, but who knew it would turn out like this? I'm really useless."

Nan Yuan's eyes were slightly hot, and she shook her head: "Father, please don't say these things."

"But, Yuan'er, father..."

Nan Yuan interrupted her father and asked directly, "Father, what's going on with you?"

She must know what happened to Nan's father so that she can find a way to remedy the situation.

Father Nan sighed and slowly told the whole story.

He was sent by His Majesty to check the eldest princess' pulse. According to Nan's father's medical skills, this should have been a very common matter, but the eldest princess suddenly suffered from unbearable abdominal pain in the middle of the process.

After hearing this, Nan Yuan couldn't help but take a breath.

The last time she was on the pleasure boat, the princess showed signs of miscarriage. It has only been a few days, and her body has not recovered yet, but she has another miscarriage...

Nan Yuan couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Father Nan added that this had nothing to do with him, but when he left, someone found musk in his medicine box.

If a pregnant woman inhales musk for a long time, she will show signs of miscarriage.

"I know that pregnant women cannot smell musk. I checked it before taking your pulse. The musk I found was definitely not brought in by you." Father Nan was very sure.

Nan Yuan naturally believed in her father. He had been practicing medicine for decades and had never made such a low-level mistake.

Then there is only one possibility, that Nan's father was framed.

"Father, did you encounter any suspicious people before entering the Princess's Mansion? Did the medicine box pass through anyone else's hands?" Nan Yuan asked in a deep voice.

As soon as Nan Yuan finished speaking, before Nan's father had time to answer, the officer began to urge him.

"The time has come, don't make it difficult for us."

Nan Yuan still wanted to pave the way with money, but the officials refused to accept it.

"Yuan'er, this is all fate! Don't worry about your father, take care of yourself and your mother." Nan's father was escorted by the officials towards the prison. Before leaving, he did not forget to instruct his daughter.

Nan Yuan looked at her father's back and tears fell unconsciously.

"Miss, don't be too sad. The master is a lucky man and will be fine!" Yue Ran comforted her.

"Yes, the master will be fine." Bai Zhi also echoed Yue Ran.

Nan Yuan wiped away her tears, turned to look at the two loyal maids beside her, and said, "The real culprit behind the scenes dared to frame father so openly, so he must have some certainty. If we continue to sit and wait for death, then father will be in great danger."

Yue Ran and Bai Zhi were both shocked when they heard this: "Then...then what should we do?"

Nan Yuan lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's go to Prince Xie's Mansion."

Xie Luochen has some connections in the government, so he should be able to let her see her father again.

If only she could see her father again, she would know where to start the investigation!

The master and his two servants moved quickly, and in less than half an hour, Nan Yuan's carriage stopped at the gate of Prince Xie's mansion.

However, the gate of Prince Xie’s mansion was closed, as if they knew someone was coming and closed the door on purpose.

"Go call someone!"

But Nan Yuan can't care about so many things now. She can only rely on the Xie family now. The Xie family and the Nan family are already engaged, and now they are grasshoppers on the same rope. If Nan's father is guilty and imprisoned, and the news gets out, the Xie family's reputation will also be bad.

"Yes!" Bai Zhi responded and immediately ran forward to knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom——"

The door was slammed loudly, but there was no response from inside. Even Bai Zhi found it strange.

She turned around and looked at Nan Yuan, only to see that Nan Yuan's face looked extremely ugly.

Logically speaking, Bu Hui, the people inside, would not have heard this noise, so there was only one explanation: the Xie family had made it clear that they did not want to get involved in this mess.

"Let's go." Nan Yuan paused for a moment and then got on the carriage.

"Girl, where are we going?" Bai Zhi's voice was tinged with tears.

"Go home first."

The carriage soon disappeared in front of the Xie family's door.

Inside the Xie Mansion.

"Princess, the person has left." The butler said respectfully to the woman sitting in the main seat.

The woman was wearing a purple-red long skirt with a cloak of the same color on the outside, and a bun inlaid with gold and jade on her head, which made her look extremely luxurious.

She was Princess Xie, also Nan Yuan's aunt, Ms. Li. Although Ms. Li was over 40 years old at this time, she still looked as graceful and beautiful as a girl in her early twenties.

At this time, she was holding an ivory fan in her hand, waving it gently, with a bit of pride and majesty between her brows.

"It's good to go."

After saying this, she put down the ivory fan in her hand and stood up.

"Please have someone open the door."

As soon as Princess Xie Li finished her words, a servant went to open the door. It was obvious that they closed the door to avoid Nan Yuan coming.

"Princess, if this is the case, will the prince be angry with you when he comes back?" The housekeeper was a little worried.

He really felt that what Prince Xie's Mansion did this time was not fair. They were clearly two married families, and when the Nan family was in trouble, why didn't the Xie family offer a hand and instead stay out of it?

"Angry?" Li sneered, "Who is this princess doing this for? Isn't it for him and for our huge Xie Wang Mansion?

Nan's father was imprisoned because he attempted to murder the eldest princess, a heinous crime that would implicate the entire clan!

Others are hiding from it, how brave do we in the Xie family have to step into this muddy water now?"

Li spoke forcefully, but her heart was not so upright.

She and Nan Yuan's mother are sisters. Their father is the richest businessman in Jiangnan and he only has two daughters.

So when the two sisters got married, their father divided the family property into two parts and gave them dowries.

It was just that her sister married an imperial physician, so there was not much to spend, but she married a prince who was about to fall, so there was money to spend everywhere, and all her dowry had been spent on him over the years.

The reason why he wanted to marry into the Nan family this time was because he wanted Nan Yuan to bring all the Nan family’s assets to make up for the deficit of the Xie family.

That's right, she was coveting the Nan family's share of the family property and wanted to use it to make up for the losses that Prince Xie's Mansion had suffered over the years.

But isn’t most of the Nan family’s property the dowry brought by Nan Yuan’s mother, that is, her biological sister?

If it weren't for Nan Yuan's mother, all this property would have belonged to her!

But now, she no longer cares about that little bit of family property. After all, their Xie family is going to marry into the royal family!
