If Shen Qingzhu saw Yingshuang lose an eye, he would feel even worse than she did.
Seeing Bai Qingyan’s sorrowful expression, Bai Jinxiu also felt uneasy. She stepped closer to Bai Qingyan, gently patted her arm, and said softly: "Eldest Young Lady... I will take good care of Yingshuang in the future and treat her like my own sister to make up for it."
Bai Qingyan stood by the bed looking at Yingshuang. Her hand slowly clenched into a fist.
Her eyes were sharp, and her voice was filled with determination, "The Empress dared to attack someone from the Bai family. This matter cannot just be brushed aside. Otherwise, the Empress will think that the Bai family is a soft target she can manipulate at will."
She had once said that whoever dared to harm the Bai family would experience the pain of having their hands cut off.
Li Mao was one, and the Empress was another.
Not to mention, the Empress almost took the lives of Jinxiu and Brother Wang!
Bai Qingyan’s gaze fell on the pine sugar embroidery on Yingshuang’s eye patch, her expression as cold as water. She wanted to stabilize the situation, but this stability had to come under the condition that no one dared to lay a hand on the Bai family. Since the Empress did not desire peace, there would be no peace for anyone.
"Is anyone watching the residence of King Xin?" Bai Qingyan’s eyes were icy.
"King Xin returned to the capital suddenly. There was no time to arrange for someone inside, but... King Xin’s residence is not impervious. Especially during the time when he was demoted to a commoner and left the capital, the servants there had a hard time. The steward from the Qin Mansion’s accounting office seemed to have become friendly with the accountant of King Xin’s residence. We plan to see if we can find an appropriate opportunity to insert our people without leaving traces."
Bai Qingyan shook her head, "At this time, sending people into the residence of King Xin might not even get them past the Chuihua gate."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Qingyan continued, "Money can make the devil turn millstones... we might need to spend some silver on this matter."
Bai Jinzhi looked at her elder sister with calm eyes, knowing that this time her sister’s anger was truly uncontrollable, "Eldest Young Lady, doing it this way might lack thoroughness."
"Don’t interfere in this matter. The most troubling issue for the Crown Prince is King Xin’s return to the capital. I will discuss this with the Crown Prince and let him handle it." Bai Qingyan had made up her mind.
Looking inside the main room of Qinghui Courtyard, the maids had already mixed warm water for bathing. Chun Tao took small steps inside the curtain and bowed, "Eldest Young Lady, the water is ready! You should go bathe first. I will take care of Yingshuang."
Chun Tao had just learned about Yingshuang’s situation from Cuibi in the courtyard, and her eyes were still red.
"Sister Chun Tao has just returned too. Please take a rest first. Rest assured, I am here!" Cuibi said with a smile.
Bai Qingyan returned to Qinghui Courtyard to bathe and change clothes. She picked up a teacup and took a sip. Just as she was about to ask Chun Tao if Yingshuang had woken up, she heard that Doctor Hong had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time.
"Quickly invite Doctor Hong in!" Bai Qingyan put down the teacup.
