Han Yan's shout immediately attracted everyone's attention. There was already chaos outside the carriage. Unexpectedly, all the guards of the mansion fell to the ground, as if they had been ambushed and were powerless.

Only the captain of the guards, who had the highest martial arts skills, was still struggling to stop the bandits.

A hint of sneer flashed in Han Yan's eyes. This man is really loyal to his duty. He doesn't forget to act even at this moment. But who is he pretending to be loyal to?

All of the guards fell to the ground. Outside the carriage were more than a dozen sturdy men in black, all dressed like bandits. The leader was riding on a big horse and pacing constantly, but he did not immediately capture the person on the ground.

Han Yan knew that they were looking for her.

Zhuang Yu Shan was stunned for a moment in the carriage and suddenly realized that Zhou Shi had told her the night before she left that she should not panic, no matter what happened because Zhou Shi's plan would ruin Zhuang Han Yan's life forever.

Zhuang Yu Shan was not stupid, and she figured out the reason in an instant. Could it be that Zhou Shi's plan was to let a group of bandits kidnap Han Yan?

In this way, Han Yan's innocence would definitely be in jeopardy. With such a daughter, Zhuang Shi Yang would definitely be ashamed. If she behaved more obediently and sensibly, then the position of the legitimate daughter would be in her pocket.

Thinking that Han Yan would be insulted by a group of strong men, Zhuang Yu Shan felt very happy and simply lifted the curtain of the carriage, eager to see the miserable state of Han Yan being bullied.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the carriage's curtain, Ji Lan and Shu Hong, who had been dodging, shouted at her: "Miss!"

Zhuang Yu Shan was stunned, and before she could figure out the situation, the two of them had already rushed towards her. Han Yan also looked frightened and shouted: "Ji Lan, go and protect the young lady!"

The man on the horse was very confused. They were paid for the job. The other party said that the young lady they wanted to kidnap had a bun and sat in the second carriage. But when they arrived, they found that there was only one carriage, and no one in the carriage had a bun. The guards outside the carriage suddenly fell to the ground unconscious, and they were even more confused, fearing that something went wrong.

Unexpectedly, the bandit's leader heard the cries of the two maids, and Han Yan called "Ji Lan", and they immediately concluded that the woman in the red cloak in the carriage was the one they wanted to kidnap. It was just because the other party said that the fourth young lady of the Zhuang Mansion had two personal maids, one named Ji Lan and the other named Shu Hong.

Before Zhuang Yu Shan could react, a man in black rushed to the carriage, grabbed Zhuang Yu Shan's arm and dragged her out.

Zhuang Yu Shan was stunned for a moment, and when she was about to say that she was not the one you wanted to catch, her mouth was blocked by a piece of rag. Ji Lan and Shu Hong both ran over there desperately, shouting "Miss, Miss!"

Han Yan stood with Ji Lan and Shu Hong, wearing the same light green jacket. The bandits saw her and thought she was also a maid. The bandit's leader was still a little puzzled. In addition to the four maids, there was only one lady. The other party had clearly said that there would be two ladies before, and it seemed that they had made a temporary change.

Zhuang Yu Shan's maid, Yun'er, stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how her young lady had been abducted. She wanted to open her mouth and scream, but she was too frightened to make a sound.

The black-clothed man who had kidnapped Zhuang Yu Shan ran to the bandit leader and threw Zhuang Yu Shan onto his horse. The black-clothed man on the horse whipped the horse and ordered, "Retreat!"

Zhuang Yu Shan kept yelling, shouting in her heart: "I am not Zhuang Han Yan!" But her mouth was blocked, so she could only whimper in despair. The leader's horse jumped up, took Zhuang Yu Shan and ran farther and farther away. Zhuang Yu Shan stared at Han Yan and saw Han Yan fall to the ground, looking miserable, looking at her miserably, but there was a hint of smile on the corner of her lips.

The horse gradually disappeared from everyone's sight. Han Yan slowly stood up. Zhuang Yu Shan's maid Yun'er had already walked out of the carriage and collapsed on the ground. Han Yan walked up to her and said calmly: "Haven't you seen it? The guards here have been poisoned and can't move. Your young lady has been kidnapped. Why don't you report it to the authorities as soon as possible?"

Yun'er was stunned for a moment, then slowly came to her senses. She suddenly realized that Zhuang Yu Shan had been kidnapped. If Zhou Shi knew, she would definitely die.

Hearing Han Yan's words, she seemed to have grasped the last straw of rice to save her life. She stood up and was about to run away. Han Yan kindly reminded her: "The government has a lot of official business to deal with on weekdays. The situation is critical now. You should beat the drum outside the government office hard to attract the attention of the Prefect. Sister Yu Shan will be rescued quickly."

Yun'er nodded and stumbled out. Han Yan clapped her hands and stood up. Ji Lan and Shu Hong also came over. When Zhuang Yu Shan was abducted, the fiery red cloak fell off. Han Yan picked it up from the ground, shook off the dust on it, put it on again, tied the belt, and then walked slowly to the only sober guard captain.

As early as when they were having vegetarian meals at Fengdi Temple, Shu Hong took advantage of her time to help and added some 'spices' to the guard's meals. It would not cause any harm if taken alone. However, if it was mixed with another spice, it would immediately cause a person to fall into a coma.

After the guards had finished their meal, Zhuang Yu Shan drove Ji Lan and Shu Hong out of the carriage. Han Yan had expected this, because the carriage itself could not accommodate five people. Zhuang Yu Shan would naturally not let her maids get off, so Ji Lan and Shu Hong would inevitably be driven out of the carriage and walk with the guards.

When Ji Lan was chatting with the guards outside the carriage, she dripped the spices in her hand into the guard's scabbards. These guards were fine, but if they encountered bandits and drew their swords, the spices would be released and mixed with the food they had eaten earlier, turning into a poison that could cause coma.

The chief guard was too vigilant, and Ji Lan was afraid of being discovered by him, so she didn't dare to do it obviously, and only dared to drip a little. So the chief guard was only weak all over, but he was still conscious.

Han Yan squatted down beside the chief guard, who was a middle-aged man. He saw the battle clearly, starting from the moment Zhuang Yu Shan was abducted. He recalled the sudden abnormality of the carriage along the way, Han Yan and Zhuang Yu Shan exchanging cloaks, the guards suddenly fainting, and how Ji Lan and Shu Hong's address to Zhuang Yu Shan; he suddenly realized it.

The little girl in front of him had been planning from the beginning, keeping them all in the dark, and playing a trick on them. He is afraid she knew today's plan a long time ago, so she took advantage of the situation and designed Zhuang Yu Shan to be abducted. This time, Zhou Shi was like shooting herself in the foot. Zhuang Yu Shan was the one who had her innocence ruined, but Han Yan was safe and sound.

The chief guard was shocked and squinted at the little girl next to him. Han Yan's eyebrows curved and she looked at him with concern: "Big brother, are you okay?"

He gritted his teeth and answered with difficulty: "Miss, you have a good plan." What a plan! She was so calm and didn't reveal her true face at this time. He suddenly felt a little scared.

Han Yan didn't mind his words at all and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Yun'er has already reported to the authorities. The government will definitely find out the whole story and clear your name." She emphasized the word "innocent" and never looked at the captain of the guards again.

She turned to Ji Lan and Shu Hong and said, "Who of you can drive a carriage? Sister Yu Shan has been kidnapped, we have to go and report the news quickly." Before she finished speaking, a disdainful snort suddenly came from behind her.
