Shen Xingwan took Dongqing back to the yard. The entire manor was still brightly lit and bustling, as if everything just now was an illusion.
"Go to where the Qi family lives and ask their lady if they have sent someone to find me." Shen Xingwan ordered the maid at the door.
After giving some broken silver as a reward, the maid went happily.
"Let's go to Zhuo Hua's place and have a look." Shen Xingwan said a little impatiently, as he should get more news from there.
Her foundation is still too shallow, and she is completely unfamiliar with the hunting ground, has no power of her own, and is not well-informed.
"Well, I will protect the young lady." Dongqing said with firm eyes.
This time the two of them took a well-lit road with lots of people, and there were no accidents along the way.
After walking for a while, I saw Fu Jingchao coming from the other road.
"Going to see Miss Xie?" Fu Jingchao said.
Shen Xingwan nodded, and the two walked side by side at a distance of not too close but not too far apart.
No one spoke as the night wind blew. A servant girl met them along the way. They bowed respectfully and then avoided them.
Shen Xingwan glanced at no one else around, then lowered his voice and said, "I was almost assassinated just now."
Fu Jingchao immediately looked at her sideways and made sure she didn't look injured. "What's going on?"
"You used Zhiwei's personal girl to lure me out..." Shen Xingwan quickly explained what happened.
"You try to stay in the yard these days and don't go anywhere." Fu Jingchao warned, "This hunting conference is too dangerous."
Soon they arrived outside the courtyard where Xie Zhuohua lived. Neither of them was talking. The woman at the door saw that it was Fu Jingchao and let him go immediately.
The two walked in and saw the prince sitting in the booth outside.
"I didn't expect that Jing Chao and Sister Shen came together." The prince looked at the two of them with a half-smile.
Thinking of the news he just received, he felt a pity in his heart. If Shen Xingwan was captured alive, he would like to see who Fu Jingchao, who has always been cold-hearted and hard-hearted, would choose between the ledger and the beauty?
The scene will be very interesting then.
Fu Jingchao said calmly, "I just happened to meet him on the road."
Shen Xingwan was in a mood to deal with the prince and directly asked Xie Zhuohua's eldest maid, "How is Sister Xie?"
"I fell down from the mountain and fell into coma, and my leg was broken..." the maid said with red eyes.
Shen Xingwan frowned, how could he be hurt so badly?
The imperial doctor still made the diagnosis inside, while the others sat outside and waited. The atmosphere was a bit depressing and no one spoke.
With the sound of jingling jewelry, Min Xizhao, who was dressed like a peacock, walked in dragging her long skirt and greeted the prince charmingly.
The prince waved his hand to let her get up, but he was not in the mood to coax her.
He was quite satisfied with Xie Zhuohua and the Xie family, and he didn't want anything to happen to Xie Zhuohua, and he was feeling agitated.
Seeing that the prince ignored her, Min Xizhao sat aside angrily, cursing in her heart that Xie Zhuohua had better fall lame, because then he would not be qualified to become the prince's concubine.
Time passed in silence, and finally Mrs. Xie opened the door with a tired face.
"How is Zhuohua's situation?" the prince asked warmly.
"The imperial doctor said everything will be fine once you wake up." Madam Xie said tiredly, "It's late at night, Your Highness, please go back and rest first. Zhuohua will send someone to notify you as soon as he wakes up."
"Madam, please also take care of yourself. Yi Zhuohua will be fine," the prince comforted.
It happened that the prince's people came to him to report something. He felt that by waiting here for so long, he had given the Xie family face. The prince said a few more polite words, got up and left.
Shen Xingwan sat still, she still had something to ask.
Min Xizhao saw that the prince was still sitting wherever he went, so he stood up and said with a smile, "Is Miss Xie okay? I heard that her leg was severely injured when she was found. It would be bad if she becomes a lame at such a young age.
, Madam, if you need anything, just ask."
Min Xizhao was used to being domineering and domineering in Minnan, and he always talked about tea when he opened his mouth.
Mrs. Xie looked at her coldly, "If Zhuo Hua is lame, then I will break the legs of the mastermind behind the scenes! If Zhuohua cannot wake up, then I will kill the mastermind behind the scenes! On the border of Jiangnan
, no one can touch my Xie family and still escape intact!"
Mrs. Xie's words were so powerful that Min Xizhao's momentum suddenly weakened, and he forced out a smile, "Mrs. Xie is so courageous."
"Whoever touches my daughter, I will make her pay the price." Mrs. Xie held her head high, vividly interpreting the image of a protective mother.
Min Xizhao almost ran away from her sharp eyes.
After seeing people leave, Shen Xingwan asked Madam Xie, "Madam, what's going on with Sister Xie?"
Mrs. Xie had a good opinion of Xie Zhuohua because of her high opinion of Shen Xingwan, so she told her the matter softly.
It turned out that after the hunting started, Xie Zhuohua was attacked by two wild wolves on the mountain.
The two wolves seemed to have spotted Xie Zhuohua and pursued her closely.
Fortunately, Xie Zhuohua was not alone. She was accompanied by two guards from the Xie family who jumped out to protect her.
The two of them almost fought tooth and nail to protect Xie Zhuohua, and they managed to hold on until the end, only to be rescued by others.
Shen Xingwan curled up his fingers and sighed softly, "I was the one who hurt Sister Xie."
Mrs. Xie looked at her puzzled, "How do you say this?"
Shen Xingwan told Mrs. Xie that she found Ranzui on her clothes this morning.
"I didn't expect that the people behind the scenes would also attack Sister Xie. Otherwise, if I had informed Sister Xie earlier, I might have been able to avoid this incident."
She really didn't expect that the other party would be so crazy that he would attack Xie Zhuohua blatantly.
"This is none of your business, you are also a victim." Mrs. Xie said very sensibly, "Zhuohua is in this situation because he has blocked the way of some people."
Mrs. Xie asked carefully about Zui Ran again, showing a thoughtful expression.
By the time Shen Xingwan said goodbye and came out, the night was already dark.
"I'll take you back," Fu Jingchao said.
"It's only been a day, and so many things have already happened." Shen Xingwan sighed, "As expected, the water is deep."
"Are you afraid?" Fu Jingchao asked her.
Shen Xingwan turned his head and smiled at him, "I'm just a little bit scared. After all, I am the weakest among the people currently involved."
The ability to favor oneself may be useful in ordinary times, but it seems a bit inadequate in the face of absolute power.
Although no one said it directly, no one was a fool, and they probably knew the person who would do it.
"It will be over soon." Fu Jingchao said softly, "It will be okay."
"I hope so." Shen Xingwan really wanted this wave to pass quickly.
The hunting grounds here are almost all people from the Jiangnan officialdom, which is actually quite disadvantageous to Fu Jingchao.
But since Fu Jingchao is here, Shen Xingwan believes that he must have his reasons.
