Yuehuan leaned against the wall, having just closed her eyes, when she heard the sound of unlocking outside again. Yuehuan quickly opened her eyes and looked outside nervously. For the past ten days, the prison guards would only come by during the day to deliver food, and were nowhere to be seen at other times.
This time, the prison guard came to take all the maids imprisoned in the prison out to be sold. Therefore, Xin Yu could not escape this fate either.
Yuehuan knew that the situation had already been decided: "Official Master, has there been a conclusion to our matter?" From the looks of it, it was clear that the outcome wasn't favorable.
If others had asked, these prison guards would surely ignore them, but Yuehuan was different—she was someone with backing. The questioned guard replied: "The Emperor has already issued a decree; everyone in the Qian Family, regardless of gender or age, all the living are to be exiled to the Northwest."
