Chapter 273: Chapter 273 What Other Conspiracies Does the An Family Have

Chu Baihan carefully spread the wedding dress flat and then started inspecting it.

"It seems this wedding dress was dyed red with blood mixed with the dye," she murmured softly.

"What?"

Nan Xing suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

Chu Baihan, suppressing her disgust, reached out to touch the wedding dress.

"They also put many spices on the wedding dress, that’s why we didn’t smell the blood at first," she continued.

Nan Xing had already started frantically wiping her hands.

This was too frightening.

At that moment, they heard the sound of roof tiles shifting.

The two of them looked up at the same time and saw that a hole had been opened in the roof.

Soon, two tall figures leapt down.

It was...

Yan Lin and Yan Lian.

"Eighth sister-in-law, are you all right?" Yan Lian asked with concern.

"We’re fine. Except that Tang Yu is temporarily in their hands, all is well," Chu Baihan replied softly.

At that time, a shadow fell over her.

Before she could react, she was gathered into the arms of a certain Lord Yan Lin.

Yan Lin wrapped his strong arms around her tightly, and her small face was buried against his chest.

He held her so tightly that Chu Baihan had no choice but to say, "I can hardly breathe."

Hearing this, Yan Lin finally let her go.

But his deep eyes continued to gaze at her intensely.

"You were out of contact all night, do you know how worried I was?" he said helplessly.

"I’m sorry, we remained inactive all last night just to lure the snake out of its hole. Indeed, the snake is now half drawn out..."

Chu Baihan proceeded to tell him everything that had happened.

"So, you mean the An Family is very strange, and their young master is also quite odd?"

Yan Lian stroked his chin, pondering over the matters of the An Family.

But a certain Lord Yan Lin had his mind fixated only on her recent contact with the wedding dress.

He said through gritted teeth, "Princess Consort, you have not yet worn a wedding dress for me."

"Who says I haven’t? Back when I was forced to marry you in Yan Country, didn’t I wear a wedding dress?" Chu Baihan quickly retorted.

"But at that time, I was blind and did not go through the wedding ceremony with you, nor did I see you in your wedding dress,"

a certain Lord Yan Lin grunted.

How beautiful she must have looked in her wedding dress for him, it was a pity...

"Lord Yan Lin, how dare you bring up this matter with me. Have you forgotten, on our wedding night, not only did you choke me, but you also threatened me..."

Chu Baihan raised an eyebrow and with cold eyes, glared at Yan Lin, starting to settle past accounts.

Yan Lian: "!!!"

This wasn’t good!

The eighth sister-in-law was actually starting to bring up old scores with the eighth brother.

No, he couldn’t let their relationship be affected.

So, Yan Lian very promptly intervened: "Ahem, shouldn’t we be focusing on the matter of the An Family right now?"

His words successfully brought Chu Baihan’s thoughts back.

She continued to examine the wedding dress.

But a certain Lord Yan Lin, lips pursed...

Once all this was over, he’d have to give her a grand wedding ceremony.

"Is this the wedding dress they forced you to wear?"

Yan Lian curiously stuck out his hand to touch the wedding dress, but at that moment, Chu Baihan solemnly stated, "This wedding dress has been soaked in blood."

"What?"

Yan Lian screamed terribly and leapt into the air.

The next moment, Yan Lin’s sharp gaze swept across, "Do you intend to draw them all over here?"

Yan Lian had no choice but to quickly cover his mouth with his hand.

But he soon remembered that his hand had just touched the bridal gown.

He had to put his hand down and then kept retching insistently.

"What’s the situation outside?" Chu Baihan turned to ask Yan Lin.

"We found that this room was the most heavily guarded, so we guessed you were locked here. There are people at both doors, so we could only come down from the roof."

Yan Lin replied in a deep voice.

"It seems that the An Family is set on making us marry," Chu Baihan said with a cold chuckle.

"Jian Ying has already gathered all the Hidden Guards outside, and the moment I give the order, this place will be razed to the ground."

Yan Lin spoke coldly, the dark flames seemed to burn in his deep black eyes.

No matter what the An Family was thinking, as long as they coveted his Princess Consort, they deserved to die.

Chu Baihan knew he was now harboring the intent to kill.

She coughed lightly, then took the initiative to soothe him.

She clasped his arm and then said earnestly, "Right now, we don’t know where Jian Yun is, and rash actions are dangerous, so let’s wait a bit longer."

"Yan Lian, put on this bridal gown for Hanhan."

At that moment when that certain Prince was still retching, he heard a sinister sentence coming from behind him.

Yan Lian: "..."

"Eighth Brother, can I say no?" he stiffly turned around and offered a forced smile.

Last time, when they were schemed against by the Empress Dowager and others, it was Tang Zishen who had impersonated the Eighth Prince’s wife and was kidnapped.

At that moment, he had been grateful for having dodged a bullet.

But he didn’t expect that he would be targeted again now.

"It’s okay, I can do it. We’re not really getting married, just seeing what the An Family is plotting. Besides, Yan Lian and I have different heights; it would be too easy to give us away," Chu Baihan said to Yan Lin with heartfelt concern.

Upon hearing this, Yan Lin’s cold gaze swept under Yan Lian’s legs.

Yan Lian instantly felt a chill down his spine.

"No way, Eighth Brother isn’t thinking of having his legs sawed off, is he?"

While Yan Lian was trembling in terror, Chu Baihan suddenly spoke up, "We don’t necessarily have to wear the bridal gown to lure out the snakes. The An Family seems resolute on marrying us off tonight. So, once it gets dark, many things will reveal themselves."

"Right, right, right, that’s a good idea," Yan Lian nodded vigorously.

"I had Jian Ying inquire in the nearby villages at the foot of the mountain, and it turns out that in the past month, seven unmarried girls have gone missing from five villages," Yan Lin said in a grave tone, revealing this situation.

What?

"Have that many girls really gone missing?" Chu Baihan’s eyebrows twitched.

Intuition told her that these events were related to the An Family.

At that moment, footsteps came from outside the door.

"Young Madams, we have come to comb your hair."

"Once your hair is combed, you can wait in the room to be married."

It was those two nannies!

Laughter flickered in Chu Baihan’s eyes.

"Don’t we have ready-made stand-ins to take our place in marriage?" she said nonchalantly.

Nan Xing immediately understood her meaning.

Swiftly, Nan Xing ran to the door to open it.

After the two old nannies entered, she quickly shut the door.

The two old nannies, seeing two men inside the room, had their expressions turn fierce instantaneously, ready to call for help.

But Nan Xing had already moved to knock them out cold.

Following that, she deftly dressed them in the bridal gowns, tied them up, stuffed their mouths, and covered their heads with the red bridal veils.

The two nannies were thin, so they did look somewhat similar to them.

"Alright, let’s figure out a way to get out and investigate the An Family’s estate," Chu Baihan ordered calmly.
