Back on the third floor, Xie Jingrun, guided by Rong Qingqing, carried her into one of the rooms.
It's clear that no one has lived in the house yet, but it's elegantly and comfortably furnished.
Some time ago, Rong Qingqing had the third floor renovated. She not only set aside an office area, but also turned several empty rooms into lounges.
She had thought that she could come over sometime and rest in the house when she was tired, but she never expected that it would come in handy today.
Xie Jingrun carried Rong Qingqing to the bed, but as he was about to leave, she grabbed his sleeve.
"Xie Jingrun, Yanran has fainted. Could you bring her in? And then please call a doctor for us?" She looked at her hopefully.
Xie Jingrun glanced down at her, said nothing, but brushed her hand away, said, "Don't run around!" and left.
Rong Qingqing waited for a while, but Xie Jingrun still didn't bring Shangguan Yanran in. Thinking of his personality, she figured he probably wouldn't care, so she decided to get up and bring Shangguan Yanran in herself.
However, before she could even get off the bed, Changlin carried Shangguan Yanran in.
"Madam, where is Miss Shangguan settled?"
"Let's put her on the couch first." Rong Qingqing hurriedly moved aside and sat down.
Changlin carried Shangguan Yanran to the bed as instructed, then straightened up and said, "Madam, please wait here for a moment. I have already sent someone to fetch the doctor."
"Okay, thank you for your trouble." Rong Qingqing nodded, then, remembering something, asked, "By the way, where is your Marquis? Is the Emperor alright?"
"His Majesty is alright. His Highness has already escorted him back to the palace," Changlin replied.
"I see." Rong Qingqing nodded. "What about the assassin? Were any of the guests at Wangchun Tower injured?"
"The assassin has been taken back to the imperial prison. The guests at Wangchunlou were not injured, but the restaurant was badly damaged in the fight and may have to close down for renovations," Changlin said.
Rong Qingqing sighed, "It's not just the building that's damaged; the fight that happened in the restaurant has kept customers away for a while now, and I'm suffering huge losses. Do you think the Emperor will give me any compensation, since he was the one who brought the assassins here?"
Upon hearing this, Changlin's lips twitched. The old lady's words, no matter what, all came down to was money.
He said seriously, "I don't know about this, but the old lady can talk to the Marquis. If the Marquis is willing, he should be able to help you apply for some subsidies."
Upon hearing that she was to talk to Xie Jingrun, Rong Qingqing immediately deflated. "Forget it, I guess I'll just have to accept my bad luck." She didn't know if Xie Jingrun would take advantage of her and make some unreasonable demands.
"If Madam has nothing else to say, then I shall take my leave," Changlin said.
"When you go down, please call Manager Xu up for me. I have something to discuss with him," Rong Qingqing said.
"Yes," Changlin replied and left.
Rong Qingqing turned to check on Shangguan Yanran's injuries, then covered her with a blanket and waited for the doctor to arrive.
Soon after, Manager Xu came up.
Seeing that Rong Qingqing was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, what happened just now? Why was there an assassin? And what about the guest in the private room..." Manager Xu hesitated for a moment, then gave up and didn't ask any more questions.
Rong Qingqing knew he was a sensible person and wouldn't ask questions he shouldn't, but she still explained, "It's the Marquis's enemy, who's come to seek revenge."
