"Dongyang, now you can be at ease. Just like Lele said, itās not a serious injury since it didnāt hit any vital parts. As for the person, he will surely be found in a few days."
As they were talking, Princess Consort Zhuang brought medicine.
"Oh, youāre finally awake. You really scared me to death. Come, drink the medicine quickly," Princess Consort Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This little guy has been through a lot today."
"Thank you, Princess Consort!" Hearing Leleās words, Commandery Princess Dongyang felt a bit relieved. She thought about the little one in her belly, which gave her a bit of strength inside.
"Thank what, thanks? These incidents keep happening in our mansion one after another, I donāt even know what to say. Luckily, youāre fine. Otherwise, how could I explain to the Mu Family? Come, quickly drink the medicine." While speaking, Princess Consort Zhuang personally handed over the bowl of medicine.
After Commandery Princess Dongyang drank it, someone announced outside that the Mu Residence had come to pick her up.
It was the aunt from the second branch of Mu Residence who came, and Dongyang clearly didnāt show any affection towards them.
Seeing this, Yang Chuxia had to accompany Dongyang back to the residence before returning. However, as she returned, she left Mingcui by Dongyangās side.
The Mu Family doesnāt seem as peaceful on the surface. Although the Old Master of the third branch is in Funan, thereās still a second branch eyeing the first branch in the residence. Commandery Princess Dongyang is pregnant now, and if anything happens, Mu Shaoling is not at home. The Old Master Mu has to focus on investigating Mu Shaolingās matters and canāt look after Dongyang, and since heās a father-in-law, itās hard for him to take care.
Originally, Mu Shaofeng and his wife should be in the Capital City, but since something happened in Funan after the New Year, the whole family returned to Funan, so they canāt take care of it either.
Yang Chuxia thought of leaving one of her own people here, so if anything happens, they can report it timely.
"Mother, Uncle will be found, right?" When they got back to Prince Anās Mansion, it was already very late.
None of them spoke on the way, and it was only when they got home that Yangyang asked.
"He will be, definitely."
"Thatās good." Yangyang sighed, "Why would such a thing happen? Who would want to assassinate Uncle blindly?"
Yangyang couldnāt figure this out and turned to ask Lele, "Brother, why do you think this happened?"
"Why else? Uncle got in someoneās way," Lele shrugged. He heard a lot of news while in the study with his father today. To him, it was either Prince Le who sent the people, or it was a plot by Uncle and them themselves.
Anyway, he had a feeling something was off, but Uncle Shaoling would be fine.
"What do you know?" Yang Chuxia then asked him.
"I donāt know anything," Lele laughed it off, "Mother, Iām hungry. I havenāt had any snacks all afternoon, and my stomach is growling."
Thinking he was indeed hungry, Yang Chuxia didnāt press further and asked Ming Lan to see what food was available in the kitchen to bring some over.
Ye Ziāan returned to Prince Anās Mansion the next evening.
After the news of Mu Shaoling came, he went to find him with others.
"How is it? Did you find him? Is he badly hurt?" Yang Chuxia thought that Mu Shaoling had been found when she saw Ye Ziāan return.
But Ye Ziāan shook his head, "We havenāt found him yet."
"What?" Yang Chuxia was shocked.
"The guards following him reported back, saying he was stabbed in the shoulder and then fell into the water. You know, Mu Shaoling is a landlubber. He hasnāt learned to swim all these years. They were upstream, and by the time the guards dealt with the last two assassins and went down to fish him out, he had already been swept away."
