Time goes back to after Liu Zhang was stabbed.

In the alley, A Rao lay on Liu Zhang's body, crying at the top of her lungs.

Nanny Jiang and two guards from the Marquis' Mansion rushed over and said quickly, "Quick, send him to a nearby clinic first!"

The guards then hurriedly lifted Liu Zhang up. A Rao tremblingly grabbed Madam Jiang's sleeve and begged with tears, "Mother, you must save him..."

Nanny Jiang nodded and said succinctly, "Don't cry, he's still breathing."

Soon, Liu Zhang was carried into the clinic's side room. Nanny Jiang closed the door and began emergency treatment.

Murong Yan and Liu Zhang's bodyguard Wushuang hurried over and saw A Rao standing outside the clinic's room with red eyes and blood stains on her hands that she had not had time to wash.

Wushuang asked A Rao anxiously: "Miss Jiang, where is my master?"

Murong Yan also hurriedly asked her, "What's going on? How is Liu Zhang?"

A Rao sobbed and replied, "He was stabbed in the chest, and his mother is trying to save him."

"Did you see who did it?"

"Your Highness," Wushuang replied, breathless and anxious, "It was Ye Fan from the General's Mansion. He called my master into the alley and stabbed him."

Upon hearing this, Murong Yan was shocked and the worry on his face became more obvious. Wushuang still saw his face clearly. Assassinating the Dali Temple Minister was a serious crime!

If this continues, the general's mansion will be destroyed by this father and son sooner or later.

Wushuang was about to go in and check on Liu Zhang's situation, but was stopped by Murong Yan.

"Don't worry, wait until your master is rescued."

Ye Wanqing also rushed over. She dressed up as a man again and saw A Rao crying so sadly, so she hurried forward to comfort her.

Murong Yan gave Wushuang a few instructions, and Wushuang immediately showed a puzzled look, and her voice became much higher, "Your Highness, are you going to let the murderer go unpunished?

If anything happens to my master, I will definitely ask the old prime minister to take charge of the matter!"

Murong Yan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Don't talk nonsense and disrupt your master's plan. Now rescue your master first and listen to what he has to say."

Wushuang murmured, "It's best if the master is safe and sound, otherwise I don't care what plans you have."

Ye Wanqing frowned, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She really had no way to plead for her brother anymore.

Originally, he had blocked her, who was the Prince Shen, in the alley and assassinated the Prince Ling, which was already a crime.

This time, he stabbed the Dali Temple Minister again, and he cannot escape the blame.

Seeing her serious expression, Murong Yan walked over to her and whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, Nanny Jiang is the disciple of the genius doctor Yan Lin, she will definitely save Liu Zhang."

After a long time, Nanny Jiang opened the door and several people rushed in.

"Mother, how is Lord Liu?" A Rao's eyes were red, and she hurried to the bedside to see Liu Zhang.

Matron Jiang took out the blood-stained inkstone and breathed a sigh of relief. "He's truly lucky! This inkstone helped him block the fatal blow. If the knife had gone even slightly off target, even my master wouldn't have been able to save him."

His bleeding has stopped and his pulse has returned. He should wake up soon and go home to recuperate properly. It won't affect his normal life too much."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. A Rao threw herself on Liu Zhang's bed, gently held his bandaged hand, and sobbed softly.

When he leaned against her, weakly saying sorry and begging for her forgiveness, she felt very sad.

She recalled all the details of how he treated her well and respected her...

Although she grew up in the Marquis' Mansion, very few people knew her last name was Jiang. Everyone treated her as a servant in the Marquis' Mansion, with only a name but no surname.

Only Liu Zhang would call her Miss Jiang Rao with her full name. He never treated her as a maid, nor did he want her to call herself a slave. He also asked the people in the Liu Mansion's villa to call her Miss.

She had never been so afraid of losing someone as she was today, afraid that he would never wake up, afraid that he would die with regrets.

"Mother, I want to stay with him and take care of him. I want to..."

Nanny Jiang gently placed her hand on A Rao's trembling shoulder, comforting her tearful daughter and saying in a gentle tone, "A Rao, I agree to your marriage with Liu Zhengqing.

If he didn't value you so much, he wouldn't have placed the gift you gave him in such a close place."

Ye Wanqing stood by the bed, watching A Rao panic and sad like never before. She suddenly felt that all her worries were unnecessary, and that the things that appeared in that terrible dream would not happen.

Ye Qingshan is already dead and will not come out to kill Murong Yan again. A Rao will also marry Liu Zhang and will no longer be Shen Xu's concubine and will not be killed by Ye Fan.

She gently held Murong Yan's hand, looked at him, and seemed relieved.

"Let him have a good rest." Nanny Jiang patted A Rao's shoulder, "You stay and take good care of him."

A Rao nodded carefully with tears in her eyes, "Yes."

Everyone tactfully retreated. Murong Yan gave Wushuang some instructions outside, asking him not to talk nonsense.

He helped Ye Wanqing sit down at a tea stall near the clinic and talked to her about Ye Fan.

Ye Wanqing nervously grasped his hand and said anxiously, "Your Highness, this time..."

"Qingqing, don't worry. When Liu Zhang wakes up, I'll have a good talk with him. We still need to make a long-term plan for Ye Fan's matter."

"But even if Brother Zhang forgives him, the Liu family won't let it go. I'm worried..."

"I'll find a chance to talk to him." Murong Yan patted the back of her hand and told her not to worry.

"Well, you must be careful." Ye Wanqing said nervously: "Bring a few more guards. If, if he still refuses to change his ways..." She hesitated for a while and whispered: "No matter what, please spare his life."

"Okay, don't worry." Murong Yan responded calmly. He knew that Ye Fan was her most important relative and the only person in the world who could prove that she was Qingqing.

"By the way, are you familiar with Princess Lin?" Ye Wanqing suddenly remembered asking Fu Yi to receive Lin Fuxue, and hurriedly asked Murong Yan.

Murong Yan told her some of the things he knew, but she slapped her head and said, "Oh no! I asked my eldest brother to invite Jiang Yu to the Marquis' Mansion as well. If they start talking, they will definitely reveal that Shen Xu made a crossbow. If I don't know how to make a crossbow, it will definitely be exposed."

Murong Yan quickly called a guard and asked him to keep an eye on Liu Zhang's situation, while he hurried back to the Marquis' Mansion with Ye Wanqing.

When they arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, they heard Butler Shen say that Jiang Yu had taken Fu Yi and the two young ladies to the Jiang Mansion. The two were shocked and hurried to their secret base.

At this time, Jiang Yu was enthusiastically pulling Fu Yi's arm and telling him various interesting principles. The four of them were talking and laughing and were about to go out for lunch.
