Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Only after hearing Wan Zhong's name did Wan Qianzi dare to step out and look closely. She exclaimed in surprise, "Wan Zhong? It really is Uncle Zhong, and Xiao Chun, A Dai, Uncle Hong, what happened to you all?"

She tried to rush forward but Jiang Fenghua stopped her: "Don't get close, they'll hurt you."

"They are my family."

"But they don't seem to know you."

The group acted as if they didn't recognize Wan Qianzi at all, and kept trying to break free of the ropes, their faces contorted in a ferocious and terrifying manner.

Jiang Fenghua seemed to have thought of something and said in a deep voice, "Tie them up tightly so they don't break free and hurt the people."

Gongsun Lan said, "I have some numbing powder here that can calm them down, but don't touch their blood as it's poisonous, I'm worried about infection."

Jiang Fenghua picked up a few pebbles from the ground and swiftly and accurately struck the four men in the neck. Before they could scream again, they all collapsed to the ground unconscious.

Gongsun Lan widened her eyes and exclaimed, "You... hit so accurately, amazing!"

"The most tense situation right now is with the Wan family..."

Before Jiang Fenghua could finish speaking, Wan Qianzi hurriedly got into her family's carriage without thinking.

Jiang Fenghua said, "Aoxue, stop her."

"Sister Ruan, I want to go back. Something must have happened to my family." Wan Qianzi cried out. What on earth had happened to her family?

"We don't know what's going on with the Wan family right now. You can't help them if you go back alone, and you might even get hurt."

"But what about my family? Sister Ruan, please save them."

"Don't worry, I'll figure something out," Jiang Fenghua said. "We'll go with you."

The news of the Wan family suddenly going mad spread throughout the city, and judging from the current situation, it was most likely related to the golden toad.

Jiang Fenghua first sent someone to inform Prefect Zhang about the Golden Toad. Prefect Zhang didn't know why the Golden Toad was so dangerous, capable of driving people mad.

Soon, Prefect Zhang personally led his men to the Wan family, only to find that the entire Wan family was in complete chaos upon arrival.

The Wan family members seemed to have gone mad, their bodies covered in horrific scratches. They looked even worse than Wan Zhong and his group, but fortunately, some of them managed to escape.

Prefect Zhang had already ordered his men to surround the entire Wan family compound and sent people everywhere to search for any Wan family members who had escaped. The Wan family consisted of ordinary people.

The jade Buddha that Wan Qianshan brought back was still intact and placed in the courtyard. The golden toad certainly wouldn't stay quietly in the box, but rather escaped from the box and harmed the Wan family.

Seeing the mess and devastation at the Wan family's home, Jiang Fenghua quickly ordered her men to be fully armed and search for the golden toad. She said, "Toads are afraid of fire, so all of you should carry torches. If you find the golden toad, try to catch it."

Jiang Fenghua had seen the golden toad in her dream. The golden toad is actually not aggressive; it will only become defensive if someone attacks it.

Why did something happen when Wan Qianshan transported the jade Buddha from Yu County to Yuzhou City without incident, only to have it stop briefly at the Wan family's house? What exactly happened during that time?

Thousands of purple tears flowed uncontrollably. She saw her relatives, like Wan Zhong and the others, bound up with ropes by soldiers, and even saw people dead. "Father, Mother, Grandfather, Second Uncle, Second Aunt..."

Jiang Fenghua's eyes were filled with anger. She held Wan Qianzi tightly, not knowing how to comfort her. The Wan family's current state might be due to a series of coincidences, but someone wanted to harm the Feng family and was targeting her.

The hidden guards also went to help, and Gongsun Lan was so frightened by the horrifying scene before her that she squatted down and vomited.

Feng Qingyu was stunned by the scene before him. He helped Gongsun Lan to the outside of the gate and said, "Lan'er, don't go in. Rest here for a while. I'll go find Wan Qianshan."

Gongsun Lan took his hand. "Be careful. Toads aren't aggressive, but you have to watch out for the venom secreted from their skin."

Feng Qingyu nodded. "I know."

He then instructed the Feng family to "take care of Madam Ninth".

Wan Qianshan has disappeared, and he has no choice but to go looking for him. Feng Qingyu also led his men to search for Wan Qianshan everywhere.

"I can't see my brother, Sister Ruan. Has my brother been murdered too?" Wan Qianzi searched everywhere, but after calling for a long time, she still couldn't find Wan Qianshan.

At this moment, a servant who had run away from the Wan family stepped forward from the crowd. "The eldest young master didn't escape. He was probably killed by that monster. He's been staying in the Wan family's house."

Wan Qianzi exclaimed in panic, "My elder brother is still in the house. Why didn't he come out despite all this commotion? Could he have been killed too?"

Wan Qianzi was terrified. She ran to the Wan family home without thinking. Fortunately, the Wan family members were all under control and would no longer go crazy and harm people.

Jiang Fenghua couldn't stop him and hurriedly chased after him.

At this moment, Bai Yuhan arrived at the Wan family's gate after hearing the news. The soldiers surrounded the entire Wan family and said coldly, "Unrelated personnel are not allowed to approach. Leave immediately."

Bai Yuhan pointed to her nose and said, "I am not an unrelated person. I am a friend of the Wan family. The people who went in just now are all my friends. I know your Prefect Zhang. I was a guest at the Prefect's Office just a few days ago."

The officers and soldiers were transferred from other places by Prefect Zhang and did not know Bai Yuhan at all. "No unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter. Stand back."

Bai Yuhan didn't know exactly what had happened; she only learned from the people that the Wan family had been wiped out.

She was terrified; how could such a huge thing have happened to the Wan family overnight?

She walked to Gongsun Lan's side and held her hand, "Ninth Madam, why are you vomiting like this? Are you also poisoned?"

Gongsun Lan wasn't poisoned. She was experiencing morning sickness due to her pregnancy, which made her feel dizzy and nauseous. Her stomach churned, and she dry heaved until she vomited up bile before she felt better. "I'm not poisoned. I just feel nauseous because I'm pregnant."

Bai Yuhan exclaimed in surprise, "You're pregnant? But didn't you just get married? You're pregnant so quickly! That's amazing!"

Gongsun Lan stared at her face. She had heard this sentence all morning: "The child is the apple of my husband's and my eye. We decide when to become his parents. No one else has the right to interfere or comment."

After saying that, she headed towards the Wan family's house.

Bai Yuhan realized she had said the wrong thing. She wanted to say that she didn't mean to mock her; she just spoke too quickly. She was sorry...

In the end, Bai Yuhan was still stopped outside.

Meanwhile, when Wan Qianzi found Wan Qianshan, he was still fast asleep in a side room of the courtyard.

Everyone was stunned. Such a big thing had happened to the Wan family, yet Wan Qianshan was still sleeping in the side room, and they hadn't even been woken up.

While crying, Wan Qianzi shook Wan Qianshan awake, "Brother, wake up quickly, something has happened, something has happened to the Wan family."

Wan Qianshan didn't sleep at all last night, and drank a lot of wine this morning. He didn't sleep much when he came back from Yu County either. After explaining the escorting of the goods, he fell asleep as soon as he got to bed.

He suddenly woke up when he heard his sister crying. After waking up, he saw Jiang Fenghua and the others standing not far from his bed. He sat up abruptly and asked, "Your Majesty... what are you doing here?"

Jiang Fenghua didn't let them reveal their identities, but she didn't expect such a big thing to happen in just one day.

Unexpectedly, Wan Qianshan escaped disaster by sleeping in the back courtyard.

Where did the golden toad go at this time? If it runs outside and harms other people, the Yuzhou region, which has finally stabilized, will probably be thrown into panic again.

She looked at Wan Qianshan and asked, "Why are you sleeping so soundly? Did you really not hear a sound at all?"

Wan Qianshan shook his head. "What exactly happened?"

Jiang Fenghua said, "Go out and take a look! Something has happened to your Wan family."
