The matter came to an end quickly. Many ministers had just heard the news of the eldest prince's rebellion, but before they had time to be afraid, they were told that he had been suppressed.

The eldest prince was demoted to a commoner and confined to the Imperial Clan Court. Concubine Wang was demoted to a commoner and confined to the Cold Palace. Prime Minister Wang was beheaded, his entire clan implicated, his followers killed, and his family exiled to the frontier.

The Wu family was affected a little. The newly appointed fourth-rank official in the capital was a disciple of the prime minister, so he was demoted several levels and became a sixth-rank official.

Wu Jingjing was confronted with swords and blood just after getting married. She was terrified and was escorted back to her room. Just as she recovered, the entire mansion was confined and no outsiders were allowed to see it.

Even if she threw a tantrum, only the eldest prince would beat her up, and no one else would pay any attention to her. She gradually learned her lesson and could only stay in her room in a daze every day.

Bai Yingxin used her connections to go in through the small door to visit Wu Jingjing. Seeing her like this, she hugged her and burst into tears. She felt sorry for her miserable life, and a certain idea became more firm in her heart.

But misfortunes never come singly. As soon as Bai Yingxin returned home, she learned that Wu Meng had been seriously injured.

While visiting a brothel, Wu Meng picked out a woman whom another young man had taken a fancy to. He refused to give in, and an argument ensued. Neither man could tolerate such an insult, so Wu Meng struck the man first, and was then killed by the man's guards.

When the servants carried the man back, Wu Meng was beaten beyond recognition and barely breathing. People almost thought he was dead.

An angry Wu Jing slapped Bai Yingxin in the face, leaving five red fingerprints. "Don't you know what's going on outside? You're not caring about your son, why do you keep running outside?"

Bai Ying felt extremely aggrieved and burst into tears. "Jingjing has such a miserable life. I just went to see if she was doing well. How's Ameng?"

Wu Jing's expression, which had eased slightly, became serious again. "The other party was too ruthless. Amon is still unconscious. He has two broken ribs, a broken leg, and injuries all over his body. The doctor said that if he doesn't wake up within three days, I'm afraid..."

Bai Ying's heart ached, she couldn't believe it and asked angrily, "How could this happen? Who did this? How dare they..."

"Shut up! He is the youngest and most beloved son of Prince Yu'nan! How could Amon have the courage to snatch a woman from him? It's just that he has been spoiled by you guys! Forget it, you go and prepare some gifts, and we will go to his house in person to apologize to him." Wu Jing sighed, and his already crooked spine bent even more.

"Why? He beat my son like this! I should apologize, why? Why are you so useless?!" Bai Yingxin grabbed Wu Jing's collar and roared, beating his chest frantically.

"Do you think I want to?" Bai Yingxin was pushed to the ground by Wu Jing. "If you hadn't asked me to go to the Prime Minister's disciples, how could I have been implicated? Now I can't say anything!"

Bai Yingxin shed tears silently and did not argue. After looking at Wu Meng who was tied up like a mummy, she resigned herself to her fate and went to prepare gifts.

Seeing that Prince Yu'nan only had a slightly red and swollen face, Bai Ying humbly admitted her mistake and was furious, but she didn't dare to show it.

After finally getting the other party's forgiveness with a hint of disdain, the couple left with a nod and a bow. She vented all her anger on the maids in the mansion, and was caught by the old lady of the Wu family, who scolded her again.

Wu Meng's condition wasn't good either. The doctor told them to make plans as soon as possible. Bai Ying's heart collapsed. In panic, she thought of Anyan. But how could she find her?

An Yan, whom Bai Yingxin was thinking about, was actually in a shop a few blocks away from the Wu family.

This shop is not Wushang Pharmacy, but a cosmetics shop jointly opened by Anyan and the Queen. The things sold are similar to those in the Bai family's most profitable shop.

This store was originally a cosmetics shop, so there was no need for major changes in the layout, so it opened faster.

An Yan bought various formulas for cosmetics, facial masks and other skin care products from the system mall. She used natural and pollution-free medicinal materials from this dynasty to prepare them, which had better effects.

The queen used newly developed cosmetics when the ladies came to pay homage to her. The exquisite makeup made her look more than ten years younger, successfully attracting everyone's attention and envy. Meiyantang became famous in the circle of ladies and opened up sales.

With the Queen's support, no one dared to mess with this store. Even if the Bai family had a lot of business taken away, they could only be angry silently.

The Bai family is just a business family. They married Bai Yingxin to Wu Jing, an official, to take advantage of the situation to make the family business better. He knows that it is good to lean on a big tree for shade, and he has also used means to maliciously suppress others. Now he is the one who is suppressed. The big tree has fallen, and he has no way to do anything.

Bai Yingxin is now in a state of panic. Old Madam Wu asked her to use money to help Wu Jing get a better position, which is fine.

But what was excessive was that when they saw Wu Meng in this state, they did not think of seeking medical treatment from the imperial physician, but instead thought of giving up directly. Seeing that she was too old to bear children, they thought of marrying him a concubine to carry on the family line.

Wu Meng's medical expenses were all supported by Bai Yingxin. She wanted to ask the Bai family for money and help, but the Bai family was also unable to help her.

Fortunately, Prince Jing'an helped her find out An Yan's whereabouts. Finally, one evening, Bai Yingxin stopped An Yan who had just come out of Wushang Pharmacy.

Bai Yingxin lost her previous arrogance and knelt down as soon as she saw her. "Miss Bai, please save my son because I saved your master's life!"

An Yan's face was full of mockery. "You are so shameless for saving my life. You have taken away Bai Lingxin's credit for so many years. How can you feel at ease asking Master to repay you?"

Bai Yingxin's eyes widened, and she immediately lowered her head, a flicker of panic crossing her face. She knew? Did that mean Wushang knew too? Wouldn't that mean she wouldn't be able to use Wushang anymore? What a shame.

She just thought about it, and when she looked up again, An Yan had already got on the carriage and left. Bai Yingxin immediately stood up and got into her own carriage.

There were too many people on the road. She originally wanted to use public opinion to force An Yan to agree, but she didn't expect that there was no room for her to move. She had to go back and think about it again.

An Yan didn't take Bai Yingxin seriously, but hurried back to the palace.

She received a letter from Wushang, saying that he would arrive in the capital in about five days. The letter deliveryman's speed was fast, and looking at the date on the letter plus five days, it would arrive the day after tomorrow.

An Yan wanted to tell this news to Rong Xun and the Queen Mother. Since Wushang was a man of the martial arts world, they wanted to propose marriage in person and seek Wushang's opinion as a sign of respect.

An Yan specially had people clean out the guest house in the mansion and tidy up two rooms behind the Wushang Pharmacy. Given their personalities, if they encountered a difficult and complicated disease, they would definitely like to study it on the spot and would not be willing to waste time going back and forth.

Everything was arranged and they were just waiting for their arrival. What An Yan didn't expect was that Bai Yingxin came to her door again the next day.
