Within an hour, Cai Ying had quickly arranged for a carriage and a small group of guards to follow them. To avoid getting caught, they wore simple but beautiful disguises, and soon they were making their way out of the estate's grand gates.
The journey to the Wang family estate was a tense one. The carriage rattled over the cobblestone roads, but the atmosphere inside was thick with unspoken worries.
Tan Xiuying looked out the window of the carriage, and her mind raced with ideas about what they could possibly discover. Cai Ying sat on the other side of her, her hands folded nicely in her lap. She looked calm, but she was actually very nervous.
It took about an hour before they got closer to the Wang family estate, and the surroundings started to change.
The gravel roads turned into smoother walks lined with trees with branches that arched overhead, creating a natural canopy. Guards who wore the crest of the Wang family kept a sharp eye on the area.
