The Prince of An fainted from his severe injuries.

Zhuang Taifu was filled with both anger and anxiety, nearly fainting himself.

After all, it was his own blood grandson. He could not just leave him here unattended. Despite his anger, Zhuang Taifu had no choice but to bring the Prince of An back to the residence first.

The housekeeper quickly called their house doctor to treat the Prince of An’s wounds.

The drug had worn off in Prince of An’s body. His unconsciousness was primarily due to excessive blood loss from the thigh wound.

"Ah, his left leg got injured a while ago, and now his right leg... This is truly..." The house doctor wasn’t sure what to say. Had the Prince of An ever been so seriously injured during his time as a hostage in the Chen state? What on earth had he been doing?

Buckets filled with blood were continually carried out of the room, filling the whole courtyard with a strong smell of blood.

Zhuang Taifu, unable to stay outside any longer, walked into the room and asked solemnly, "How is it?"

"Ah." As the house doctor cleaned Prince of An’s wound, he said," This stab wound is too deep, reaching the bone. It will likely be difficult to heal, especially with this hot weather..."

In such intense heat, a wound could easily become infected if not diligently cared for, and even with utmost caution, it was impossible to guarantee complete safety.

In the chaos, Zhuang Taifu had forgotten to ask who exactly caused this injury, Yuan Family’s daughter, or Gu Jinyu?

But what would happen even if he found out? Could he still blame them?

Of course, he was in no position to do so.

Zhuang Taifu instructed the house doctor to take good care of the Prince of An’s injuries. He then left the room and called his trusted subordinates to investigate any unusual activity at the Qingfeng Building, especially if any suspicious individuals had been seen there.

The trusted subordinate asked, "Sir, do you still suspect someone else might be behind this?"

Zhuang Taifu said, "Hmm, I raised my own grandson, can I not understand his character? He would not be so reckless. Moreover, if he accepted that he was mistaken that would be one thing, but his eagerness to take the blame clearly indicates he is trying to protect someone."

Subordinate asked confusedly, "Sir, are you saying... The Prince got set up by someone and yet he wouldn’t disclose them? Who is he protecting then?"
