Chapter 269: How to Save Someone

"Yes, Princess. They own a large manor outside of the city, and half of the city’s merchants have done business with them. Their family is quite wealthy, but... also somewhat mysterious," Nan Xing replied seriously.
"Mysterious?"
"Yes, mysterious. Because they live in the mountains, there are no other families within several miles. On ordinary days, only the Family Head, Dongfang Yuan’s husband, An Sheng, interacts with outsiders. No one knows what their family situation is like," Nan Xing continued.
Upon hearing this, Yan Lian continued to pat his thigh.
"Making it so mysterious, who knows if they’re committing nefarious acts. Jian Yun initially wanted to go to such a place, I should have asked more and gone with him," he said.
He was filled with regret.
"It’s useless to talk about it now. Let’s hurry and see what’s happening," Chu Baihan consoled.
"I went to find the merchants who had done business dealings with the An Family, intending to inquire about them. But to my surprise, when they heard we were going to the An Family’s manor, their expressions turned peculiar. Some even slipped me a few peace charms, advising me it was best to go during the day and to wear the peace charms," Nan Xing said.
As she spoke, Nan Xing pulled out several yellow charms from her person.
