Seeing his beloved family, the scenes that had unfolded before Mu Xinghe's eyes flashed vividly through his mind.
On his way to the Court of State Ceremonial for his morning roll call, his horse suddenly went berserk and started pulling the carriage wildly through the streets.
He desperately covered his head, unaware of how many times his body was jolted and impacted, until finally he was thrown out and lost consciousness.
In his subconscious, he thought he was going to die. When he opened his eyes, he thought he had entered another world. However, he did not feel much grief because the scene around him shocked his worldview and left him in an incredible state of shock.
Now, with Lian'er right here, he suddenly felt the reality of the world.
The living, breathing Qiao Lian'er before my eyes must not be an illusion.
Adding to the inexplicable abilities of Qiao Lian'er, Mu Xinghe immediately realized that he had indeed been rescued.
"Sister Lian'er, you—"
He looked down at himself again, and everything was fine; there really wasn't a problem at all.
"Brother-in-law, you've been receiving treatment here for fifty days now," Qiao Lian'er told him.
"Fifty days?" Mu Xinghe was surprised. Thinking about the mission he was carrying, he suddenly became nervous.
"When foreign guests come to pay homage, I am not on duty, and everything will go smoothly."
“Brother-in-law, we are in another place. Fifty days have passed here, but only one hour and two quarters of an hour has passed in the capital. That means you can go to report for duty now, but you will be a little late.”
Mu Xinghe was stunned for a long time. With his ancient mind, he couldn't digest this concept at all.
But he soon realized that there was no need to delve into these things, since he couldn't figure them out anyway.
All he needs to know is that he has recovered and it won't affect the mission's progress.
She said with heartfelt gratitude, "Sister Lian'er, thank you. Your kindness to me is like giving me a second life."
Qiao Lian'er waved her hand: "We're family, no need to be so polite. Go back, you're busy and I'm busy too."
Mu Xinghe had a question he wanted to ask first.
"I don't know who wants to harm me."
“I have people I suspect, but I haven’t confirmed it yet. I need to investigate further. Brother-in-law, just pretend nothing happened and leave it to me.”
Mu Xinghe resisted the urge to ask further questions: "Okay."
In the Qiao family's courtyard, some people paced back and forth, while others sat under the pavilion, heads bowed in silence, creating a tense and anxious atmosphere.
Qiao Xi'er stared blankly at that door, her eyes filled with longing.
Qiao Zhizhi stayed by her side, supporting her at any time.
During this time, some powerful families did send people to inquire about the situation, but the Qiao family politely declined, citing inconvenience in receiving guests.
Whether the other party is genuinely concerned, simply looking on for the spectacle, or harboring some ulterior motive, in such situations, the news should not be leaked.
Later on, the Qiao family simply closed all their doors.
The living room door suddenly opened, and a figure appeared in the doorway.
Mu Xinghe had changed into a clean set of clothes, his face was rosy, his posture was upright, and a gentle breeze and auspicious air surrounded him, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing the Qiao family doing this for him, a strong sense of belonging enveloped him.
This is what family is!
The Qiao family felt like they were in a dream, and only after rubbing their eyes did they realize the truth.
The weight that had been hanging over their hearts was lifted, and almost everyone breathed a heavy sigh of relief, even feeling a sense of exhaustion after the tension.
But now, everyone is relaxed and excited.
