"I heard that the Imperial Army has surrounded all the nobles' mansions... and taken away quite a few people. Will they come to our house too?" Jiang Yuan whispered, "I don't know where Father and Third Brother are. Will they be in any trouble?"
"Pah, pah, pah, your father and Third Brother must be fine." Aunt Liu glared at her, "If you don't know what to say, shut up."
Everyone was anxious.
They had always lived in luxury and leisure, never having experienced such a thing before.
Just as they were worried, trouble arrived.
The housekeeper stumbled in, shouting, "Madam, many Imperial Army soldiers have arrived at the door. We servants are guarding it, but we may not be able to hold them off!"
"Oh my God!" Madam cried out, her face pale as she stood up, "What do they want? Are they going to arrest us? What has happened?"
Jiang Yan cried quietly.
