Han Yan continued, "This was the first prize that my grandfather got when he was hunting. It was the most beautiful prey in the hunting ground. Later, my grandfather found the best tailor in the capital at that time to make this cloak. This mink cloak will glow in the sun. It is very precious."

Zhuang Yu Shan couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Han Yan's words stirred up a huge turmoil in her heart. She stared at the fiery red cloak on Han Yan, wishing she could snatch it from Han Yan the next moment.

Seeing Han Yan's smiling face, she thought to herself: Laugh, laugh, you won't be able to laugh soon.

Although she didn't know what her mother's plan was, Zhou Shi said that this time, she would destroy Zhuang Han Yan. Naturally, Zhuang Yu Shan was extremely happy.

There was boiled tea on the small table in the carriage. Han Yan poured a cup of hot tea herself, which was almost overflowing. Yun'er, the maid beside her, wanted to say something, but before she could say anything, Han Yan's hand shook, and the hot tea in the cup splashed all over Zhuang Yu Shan.

"Ah!" Zhuang Yu Shan screamed immediately, raising one hand high to slap Han Yan, but Han Yan screamed "Ouch" and said in panic: "Sister's cloak..."

Zhuang Yu Shan was startled and quickly looked down. Today she was wearing a brand new white rabbit fur cape, which matched her pink brocade jacket and was extremely soft and beautiful. But now the snow-white cape was covered with dirty tea stains, which looked very ugly.

Zhuang Yu Shan was furious and yelled at Han Yan, "You messed up my clothes like this! What should I do at the fireworks dinner tonight? You obviously did it on purpose!"

Han Yan lowered her head, also at a loss: "I didn't mean it... For the fireworks party, Sister Yu Shan can change her clothes... I will compensate for that dress."

Zhuang Yu Shan insisted, "What do you mean by change clothes? This cape was made for me the other day. What are you going to give me as compensation? You said it was easy, but are you going to make me wear old clothes to the fireworks dinner?"

Seeing Han Yan just lowered her head and grab the hem of her cloak, Zhuang Yu Shan's eyes lit up: "Why don't you just give me your cloak, I'll wear it reluctantly. You can also pay me some silver."

Han Yan's heart sank. Zhuang Yu Shan really had a good plan. This cloak was already very rare and valuable, but she actually wanted to pay for it herself. Her appetite was really big. Thinking of this, Han Yan waved her hands repeatedly: "No, this is a gift from my grandfather..."

Zhuang Yu Shan doesn't care about that. He just feels that Han Yan was wrong to spill tea on her in front of so many people, so she just gave in at this moment. Why not take this opportunity to take the cloak over? Thinking of this, Zhuang Yu Shan leans over to pull the cloak off Han Yan, saying, "It's only natural to pay back debts. We are sisters. I don't need you to pay back the money. This dress is not new. I will wear it reluctantly. You made my cloak dirty! If father knew that you deliberately made my cloak dirty, he would punish you!"

Han Yan is still struggling with Zhuang Yu Shan to stop her from taking off the cloak. When she hears Zhuang Shi Yang's name, she slows down and just stared at Zhuang Yu Shan with grievance and resentment. Zhuang Yu Shan takes the cloak off from Han Yan and puts it on impatiently. She immediately feels very warm and asks Yun'er, the little maid beside her, "Does it look good?"

Although Yun Er felt that this was a bit bad, she still said, "It looks good."

Zhuang Yu Shan glanced at the angry Han Yan with a smug look, and said, "Actually, this cloak doesn't suit you very well, Fourth Sister. I think this cloak suits me better." Then she threw her rabbit fur cloak to Han Yan, "Why don't you wear this first, Fourth Sister?"

Han Yan looked at her and said, "Thank you, Sister Yu Shan, but Han Yan has never had the habit of picking up other people's leftovers. People like that are beggars."

Zhuang Yu Shan heard the sarcasm in Han Yan's words and sneered, "It's ok if Fourth Sister doesn't want to wear my cloak. Yun'er, pack the cloak." She glanced at Han Yan's fur coat and said sarcastically, "Just hope Fourth Sister doesn't freeze to death later."

Han Yan replied calmly: "Don't worry, Sister Yu Shan." She looked down at her light green clothes, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Zhuang Yu Shan was extremely possessive. If she saw a piece of clothing like this, she would definitely get it. If Zhuang Yu Shan didn't ask for her cloak in exchange, Han Yan would also find a way to give it to her. Everything went more smoothly than Han Yan imagined.

Their quarrel in the carriage naturally reached the ears of the guards outside the carriage. But they pretended not to know.

They seems didn't realize the last ones to walk to the end of the team were Ji Lan and Shu Hong. Both of them were panting.

Walking on such a rugged mountain road, even a grown man would be a bit overwhelmed, not to mention two weak women. Fortunately, Ji Lan was lively and often talked to the guards around her to relieve boredom, so the journey didn't seem that far.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ji Lan paused, tugged at the sleeve of a guard beside her, looked at him and smiled: "Brother, what time is it now?" After that, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, looking extremely gentle.

The guard was also a kindhearted man. Seeing Ji Lan's sweet appearance, he spoke sweetly and comforted her, "It's okay. We'll soon reach the sandy area. After we pass the sandy area, we can reach the city in another half an hour."

Upon hearing this, Ji Lan thanked the guard and exchanged a glance with Shu Hong. Both of them had something in mind.

In the carriage, Han Yan ate snacks leisurely, calculating the time, afraid that it was almost time. She turned her head and saw Zhuang Yu Shan leaning against the carriage playing with her newly acquired silver bracelet, showing off clearly in her actions. Han Yan just smiled, her light green fur coat was bright in color, but compared with Zhuang Yu Shan's fiery red cape, it instantly became dull.

To ensure that nothing goes wrong, Zhou Shi would not tell Zhuang Yu Shan about her plan. Zhuang Yu Shan was not a calm person, so Zhou Shi's worry was understandable. But it was precisely because of this that Han Yan had the opportunity to take advantage of her.

There were two young ladies riding in the same carriage. Could the bandits really differentiate which one was the second young lady and which one was the fourth young lady?

Han Yan lowered her head and forced a smile, but before she could stop, she heard a sudden noisy sound outside the carriage. The carriage shook with the sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of guards drawing their swords was very loud. In the chaos, a rough voice rang out in front of everyone: "Leave the person behind!"

They're finally here. Han Yan's expression turned cold. She was really afraid that they wouldn't come. How could the play go on then?

Zhuang Yu Shan beside her had already screamed. She was unaware of the situation. Han Yan lifted the curtain and jumped out, shouting in panic: "Protect the young lady!"
