Faced with Yun Zhengâs questioning, the three were all stammering and unclear in their explanations.
Caught off guard and knocked unconscious, they didnât even see the person who hit them, whether round or flat, male or female, how could they possibly explain clearly?
This outcome was within Yun Zhengâs expectations.
He didnât make things difficult for the guards and the coachman, waved them away, and then went to Wanâan Garden.
"Husband, I heard the guards and the coachman have been found, how is it? Did you get any clues?"
Seeing him, Lady Yun quickly got up to greet him, eagerly asking.
Yun Zheng shook his head, sighed lightly, "Those three didnât see anything before they were knocked out, so naturally, they know nothing."
"However, what we can be sure of is that the other party acted with at least three people."
The two guards said they were knocked out simultaneously, which requires at least two people.
And to knock out the guards and drag them to the empty courtyard later, obviously requires some time to complete. After finishing these tasks and then chasing the carriage would certainly delay things.
From this, it can be seen that the person who attacked the coachman is different from the one who knocked out the guards.
Lady Yun: "..."
Is there any difference between acting as three or as one?
What does this have to do with the matter at hand?
Seeing her expression, Yun Zheng knew what she was thinking and sighed helplessly.
"Madam, in the absence of any clues, this is a lead we can investigate further."
"However, we donât need to exert this effort, as far as I know, King Qi has already started investigating this matter."
"Letâs save our energy for something else."
As he spoke, a brilliant light flashed quickly in Yun Zhengâs eyes.
No matter whether this matter has anything to do with that kid from the Pei family, itâs still best for him to stay in bed and not cause trouble for a while.
That kid absolutely cannot continue causing trouble.

Grand Commandant Mansion.
Upon receiving the news that Mo Yuanhao suddenly changed his mind and wouldnât be coming to the appointment, Su Qianxue was so angry she almost spat blood, her face dark as she smashed the carefully prepared dining props intended for him.
"That damned bastard, why does he get to decide to come or not come as he pleases? If heâs so great, why doesnât he just die?"
System: [...]
[Host, calm down, he is the male lead, and you need him to complete the tasks.]
[Host, the current situation is that you need him, he doesnât need you, so even if he puts on airs, you must endure it.]
Su Qianxue: "..."
This damn system should just die too.
It claimed sheâs the female lead, Mo Yuanhao is the male lead, so shouldnât they be equals?
Why does she, the female lead, have to be beneath the male lead?
How is the female lead inferior to the male lead?
Why does she have to please Mo Yuanhao, instead of Mo Yuanhao pleasing her?
Itâs completely unreasonable.
"Why should I endure this crap? What good is endurance? Iâve put up with this for so long, initiated giving him books, and asked him out, what more do you want me to endure?"
"And you, what exactly are you?"
"Every task you set involves that Mo Yuanhao guy, canât you issue any normal tasks without him?"
Overwhelmed with anger, Su Qianxue vented on Mo Yuanhao and then began indiscriminately lashing out at the system.
[Beep, detected host insulting the system, the system will penalize once as a warning.]
Upon hearing the systemâs voice, Su Qianxueâs mind instantly short-circuited, going blank, and before she could react, her entire body was struck by a bolt of lightning.
Crackle~
A faint electric crackle sounded, and Su Qianxueâs hair immediately stood on end, her whole body convulsed violently.
"Ah..."
She let out a miserable scream, tears uncontrollably streaming down.
Hearing the commotion, the maidservants and nannies rushed in, utterly shocked upon seeing her as if she had been struck by lightning.
Itâs winter, thereâs no lightning outside, how could the young lady be struck by lightning inside?
Could it be she did something shameful?
"Miss~"
The maidservants and nannies exclaimed in shock, crowding around her in confusion.
Despite the unbearable pain affecting her entire body, Su Qianxue was in such distress she wished for death, completely ignoring those around her, speaking angrily to the system.
"Darn system, whatâs wrong with you? Why did you punish me for no reason?"
[Did the host not hear clearly enough just now? Itâs because the host insulted the system, hence the system punished the host.]
[For a harmonious coexistence between the system and the host, I sincerely suggest that the host respects the system from now on.]
