Chapter 717: Captured
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Si Cheng, who was far away overseas, spoke, but other than Julie and Luo Chen, no one knew. They lived in a closed environment. Jiang An did not know that the person she thought had died long ago had returned to this world.
She was busy helping Sophie deal with the coronation. The royal family had been chased out, and the crown prince was not in charge of anything but missing his vegetable field. There were many things waiting to be decided, and she could not leave them all to the royal butler.
Sophie simply dragged Jiang An into the palace, ostensibly to let her enjoy the life of an aristocrat, but in reality, she was entrusting all these matters to her.
Jiang An was extremely busy every day. The butler was compelled to report even the matter of changing a button, afraid that the queen would blame him if she was dissatisfied.
However, it was understandable that he was so afraid. From the perspective of the people, Sophie was indeed very benevolent. He had seen with his own eyes what had happened to the royal family during this period of time, so he naturally understood that Sophie was not a kind person.
It was said that when the new monarch ascended the throne, they would have to change his important position to one of their own. He had never thought that he could still be the royal family’s butler. He only hoped that he could leave safely. After all, he knew too many things.
Sophie had no intention of replacing him. Royal etiquette was complicated, and it was very convenient to have someone who knew how to handle it. She would definitely be busy with national affairs in the future, so she did not have the time to fuss over such matters.
Moreover, there would only be three people in the royal family in the future. There was no point in changing people.
Jiang An could tell what the butler was thinking, so she held back and didn’t say anything. She was afraid that if she said it, she would scare him.
Zou Bai was a little dissatisfied with this. It wasn’t easy for An’an to say that they should get married, and the two of them should stick together more intimately. However, she was extremely busy every day, and the time she spent talking to him had to be forcefully squeezed out. It wasn’t as sweet as he imagined.
Therefore, he followed Jiang An into the palace every day. Even if he couldn’t help, he sat at the side and looked at his fiancA©e eagerly.
Zou Yi and Zou Er couldn’t stand it anymore. How did the once wise and decisive family head become like this? Not only was his eyes filled with Miss Jiang, but he also had a smile on his face.
If the secret guards who were still in the country saw this, they would probably faint from fear.
Sophie had worked hard for a while, and it was odd to see him like this. “You seem to be smiling a lot lately.”
“I’m getting married. Of course I have to smile.” Zou Bai’s tone was filled with smiles.
This reason was impeccable, so Jiang An could only let him be.
Zou Bai pulled her into his arms. “How long are you going to be busy? Is Sophie’s own coronation ceremony being thrown to you?”
“There’s nothing we can do about it. She’s busy catching Henry and John,” Jiang An said.
Zou Bai thought for a moment. “I’ll get the shadow guards to cooperate with Sophie and capture them quickly. That way, you won’t have to be busy with these things.”
Annie had already told them where those people were hiding, but after the army went, they could not find anyone.
After realizing that Annie was missing, they felt that something was wrong and immediately packed up and ran away.
Now was not the time to force things. Preserving strength was the smartest thing to do.
They had expected Sophie to hold off on the arrests and focus on the coronation.
However, Sophie was determined to send them all to prison. She did not have the same soft-hearted attitude as before.
“I didn’t want to be so cruel, but they hurt Gao Tian and wanted to kill me. They don’t deserve my kindness,” Sophie said angrily.
Zou Bai nodded. “No one can say that Sophie is the one being cruel to her family. They were the ones who wanted to attack the queen.”
His analysis always hit the nail on the head. Compared to the so-called familial ties, he saw more benefits. This was the horizon that the heads of aristocratic families had to have.
“Then where can they run to?” Jiang An placed her hand on Zou Bai’s arm. “There should be news from the secret guards, right?”
“There’ll be news soon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zou Yi came in. He walked to Zou Bai’s side and said, “They ran away separately. They’re currently in these two places.”
Sophie quickly told the soldiers to arrest those people immediately. Henry and John thought they were very smart, but they were held down.

When they were caught, the two of them shouted, “I’m a prince. You can’t do this to me. This is an offense to the royal family.”
The soldiers didn’t need to ask more. They definitely didn’t catch the wrong person.
This time, the three siblings were reunited in prison again. They knew that they had no chance this time and began to curse and criticize each other.
Everyone was hysterical, as if this was the only way to prevent themselves from losing all hope.
Subconsciously, they also pushed the blame to the others, unwilling to believe that it was their own fault.
