Not hearing about any incidents happening to familiar families, Chu Ziluo breathed a sigh of relief and then carefully pondered the relationships between these families.
"It seems that several households have profligate sons."
Ye Muyu nodded, "The young masters of these families love to mingle with the Crown Prince of Ande, and you can see their figures on the various painted boats in the capital."
"I have heard before that these people donāt take human lives seriously, but it never escalated. The sudden emergence of so many victims today canāt be a coincidence." Ye Muyu actually already had a suspicion in her heart.
Last night, Chu Heng casually mentioned a banquet at the Marquis of Andeās Mansion to her.
She also knew that the relationships within the Marquis of Andeās Mansion were extremely corrupt, and the profligate sons associated with the Crown Prince of Ande were not good people themselves.
More or less, these people have blood on their hands.
But like a tumor hidden under prosperity, the commoners of the capital know not to provoke these sons, but being single-handedly weak, how could the commoners contend with these officials?
Mutual interests intertwined, pulling one thread could affect the whole system.
And if things were resolved at the time, it indicated that all evidence had already been covered and destroyed behind the scenes.
This incident came with a lot of momentum, involving some details she knew about, such as the human trafficking network related to the Sacred Girl of Southern Border and the monk from the Buddhist Light Temple.
Thinking of this, Ye Muyuās eyes flickered, always feeling that the situation was like a circle, could there be a connection between these two matters?
"Lady, fortunately, you didnāt go out today. I heard that in front of Doctor Luās clinic, an incident happened where a runaway horse crashed into Lord Wangās familyās carriage. Inside the carriage were the elderly lady and the legitimate eldest son and daughter of Lord Wangās family. The elderly lady was startled to death on the spot, the legitimate eldest sonās legs were crushed, and the legitimate eldest daughter had her face cut."
"They have already been sent to Doctor Luās clinic for treatment, but the injuries are so severe that itās uncertain if they can be saved."
Ye Muyu didnāt sympathize with these nobles at all, just like the Eldest Young Master Wang, who was a well-known wastrel with a volatile personality and depraved lifestyle, not a good person either.
Ye Muyu didnāt want Chu Ziluo to go out often because beneath the bustling capital, there were these rotten elements.
"What a pity." Ye Muyu smacked her lips.
Itās a pity that the people who acted probably paid a high price.
As long as these officials remain standing, being executed is the easiest. The real fear is revenge, a fate worse than death.
"Continue to pay attention to the situation in the capital." Ye Muyu thought for a moment and asked Lu Chuan to wait for Chu Heng at the palace gate.
Su Mei nodded upon hearing this.
But after a while, she returned.
"Madam, Lu Chuan said that Master instructed him to stay and take care of Lady and Young Master."
Ye Muyu knew immediately that once Chu Heng had made his decision, it was impossible to change it.
She compromised, "Then tell Lu Chuan to arrange for another skilled guard to go to the palace gate and ensure Masterās safety."
This way, Lu Chuan had no reason to refuse, nor did it conflict with Masterās orders.
Soon, there was an inconspicuous guard next to the Chu familyās carriage at the palace gate.
As for Lu Sangqi, his injuries had almost healed, having been out of the wheelchair for days now.
While preparing a medical kit in the clinic, about to go to the Princessā Mansion for the Young Princeās appointment, a crowd surged into the clinic carrying many injured.
The incident was too big, and he quickly understood the cause.
