The Fan Family, totaling over a hundred members, traveled slowly.
They only arrived at the Capital City three days after Xia Tingfeng had returned with the troops.
They were settled in the Fan Residence within the Capital City.
As soon as they entered the mansion gates, the soldiers who had escorted them back immediately surrounded the Fan Residence. Layers upon layers of soldiers encircled it, forming an impenetrable barrier, as secure as a fortress of bronze and iron.

Frustrated and irritated beyond endurance, Lady Fan finally made a decisive move: she sold off several of the less favored concubines.
Those women, terrified, desperately tried to get messages out, begging Old Master Fan to save them.
