Yan Liushi had written about the eight murders on the Imperial Edict of Conviction, and when Yan Wanqing saw Aunt Song, a chill had settled over her entire being, thankfully Huai Yu was by her side to hold her down.
"If there's no problem, let her press her fingerprint," Yan An urged from the side.
Yan Wanqing knew all too well that this was but a façade of peace, yet she had no choice but to comply, her heart filling with immense sorrow.
With an expressionless face, she passed it over, and Yan An took it to press Yan Liushi's fingerprint. He secured the Imperial Edict of Conviction, planning to head to Dali Temple first thing the next morning.
Just then.
Outside, a series of steady and urgent footsteps were heard, as a small, blood-covered figure burst in.
Yan An stepped back in fright.
The figure appeared at the doorway like an apparition, and upon closer inspection, Yan Wanqing realized it was her fifth younger sister.
