Just as dawn broke

Sun Quan heard the news that the traitor in Zhong Wang's army had confessed. He had just summoned Zhou Yu when Ye Si Ti's Po Lu troops took Da Qiao away.

"Let me go!" Da Qiao struggled desperately. "It wasn't me! How could I possibly kill Quan, Principal? It really wasn't me!"

"Shut up!" Ye Siti's eyes were full of murderous intent as she looked at Da Qiao.

Sun Quan completely lost his composure, but he still managed to maintain a facade of composure.

It escalated further, and he had no choice but to openly oppose his most respected father. Little Ci's nanny was both anxious and angry, but there was nothing she could do.

Just as Ye Siti struck Sun Quan with a palm, Xiao Ci, the wet nurse, pretended to fall and leaped to protect Sun Quan.

The people present were all shrewd; if this matter wasn't explained clearly, Xiao Ci's wet nurse might be shot dead on the spot.

"Master, please spare me! I accidentally fell." Little Ci, the wet nurse, immediately knelt down, crying with tears streaming down her face. "Although I am a servant, I still have to say something to the second young master. You really shouldn't have done that."

"When the master heard about your assassination attempt, he was so worried that he couldn't sleep at night. How could you openly argue with the mastermind just to show favoritism?!"

Sun Quan: Is she sick?! Da Qiao wasn't the mastermind!

"The Sun family took me in when I was at my lowest point. Master has devoted himself to the Sun family, and the second young master shouldn't disobey him," said Xiao Ci's wet nurse with a loyal expression.

"I'm sorry, sir. I didn't want to create a rift between you and the second young master. Everything you did was for his own good. He doesn't understand now, but he will in the future."

Ye Siti couldn't say she completely trusted Wu Ma, but she basically didn't doubt her.

This woman is mentally challenged. She was bullied by the other servants in the house, but she treated them kindly and took the blame for many others.

“Insubordination will result in a six-month salary deduction,” Ye Siti said. “Take her away. Do not provide her with any treatment. If she lives, she lives; if she disappears, that is her fate.”

"Yes!" The guards of the Polu troops ruthlessly dragged Xiao Ci's wet nurse away.

"I'm sorry, Father, it was Zhongmou's oversight." Sun Quan bowed his head in apology, but still firmly stood in front of Da Qiao.

“But Zhongmou swore on his life that Da Qiao was definitely not the mastermind behind the assassination.”

"Where's the evidence, Zhongmou?" Ye Siti looked at him sternly. "Everything requires evidence. Now the person who committed the assassination has confessed that she was the mastermind."

“Father, according to the Sun family law, if there is any doubt about this matter, there will be a one-day probation period during which I will go to find evidence,” Sun Quan said, protecting Da Qiao.

"Zhongmou, don't disappoint me," Ye Siti said, looking at them meaningfully.

"Thank you for your mercy, Father," Sun Quan said, clasping his hands in gratitude.

Afterwards, Sun Quan sent Da Qiao back to the Qiao family's territory, while he himself investigated the mastermind and tried to exonerate Da Qiao.

Then he finally remembered the group of people from the Eastern Han Academy—

When Xia Xiang sensed that Xiao Ci's nanny was dying, she immediately sneaked into the Sun family home, revived her, and learned what had happened.

I want to kill her, what should I do?

“His combat strength exceeds 20,000. What are you, someone who is barely capable of crossing the time portal, doing to protect him?!” Xia Xiang was speechless. “Escape by feigning death or risk even greater danger by staying. Choose for yourself.”

“Stay here,” Xiao Ci’s nanny insisted. “I want to protect him. Ye Si Ti has been too cruel to him.”

"If you die, Xiao Ci will be very sad." Xia Xiang stared at her intently for a moment.

"You were the person she loved most, but you died saving her brother. How can she possibly reunite with him?"

Xiao Ci's wet nurse was stunned, tears streaming silently down her face.

When Xia Xiang returned to Happy Farm, she happened to see Sun Quan standing in front of Cao Family Restaurant, getting soaked in the rain.

"Does getting soaked in the rain make it seem more affectionate? Those idiots can't figure out a solution either, so why don't they cooperate?" Xia Xiang was speechless. "What good will it do to just let both sides suffer?"

Xia Xiang shook her head, opened an umbrella, and walked towards Sun Quan.
