CHAPTER 1755: CHAPTER 1757: HE HAS ALREADY BEEN SWEPT AWAY

"Dongyang, now you can be at ease. Just like Lele said, it’s not a serious injury since it didn’t 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, you’re 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 Lele’s 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 don’t even know what to say. Luckily, you’re 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 didn’t 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 Dongyang’s side.

The Mu Family doesn’t seem as peaceful on the surface. Although the Old Master of the third branch is in Funan, there’s 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 Shaoling’s matters and can’t look after Dongyang, and since he’s a father-in-law, it’s 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 can’t 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 An’s 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."

"That’s good." Yangyang sighed, "Why would such a thing happen? Who would want to assassinate Uncle blindly?"

Yangyang couldn’t figure this out and turned to ask Lele, "Brother, why do you think this happened?"

"Why else? Uncle got in someone’s 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 don’t know anything," Lele laughed it off, "Mother, I’m hungry. I haven’t had any snacks all afternoon, and my stomach is growling."

Thinking he was indeed hungry, Yang Chuxia didn’t press further and asked Ming Lan to see what food was available in the kitchen to bring some over.

Ye Zi’an returned to Prince An’s 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 Zi’an return.

But Ye Zi’an shook his head, "We haven’t 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 hasn’t 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."
