“An Jin must have his reasons,” I could only comfort them. “He will definitely find a way to save us.”
My younger sister cried harder. My older brother and Miao Yin’s expressions were grim. “A Yao…”
My heart sank. “What’s wrong?”
My older brother, Miao Yin, and my younger sister had different expressions, but all conveyed an ominous message.
“What happened to him?” My heart raced, but I found it unbelievable. How could they know about An Jin’s situation?
My younger sister grabbed my arm. “Brother-in-law… something has happened!”

It was like a thunderbolt. The Tang clan had long received a secret imperial decree to ambush and kill An Jin and the Su family at the Suo Long Slope outside Ye City, west of Yan Feng. An Jin was their primary target. According to what Song Si Tian overheard, An Jin and Su Xi had been killed by Tang Wei. Su Qian, Su Hui, and others had escaped during the conflict.
My heart had never beaten so intensely. Would he die? No. Impossible. He had promised to come back to me. We were still going to have two children…
