Chapter 917
After saying that, Zhong Jie got up to arrange the carriage herself, and Shen Rang was able to step forward a few steps to take a closer look at Huo Zhao's condition.
"Were you scared?"
Huo Zhao shook his head, his gaze fixed on one side of his cheek.
Shen Rang subconsciously raised his hand and wiped it, only to find a red stain on his fingertip.
“It’s alright,” Shen Rang said gently, “it’s not my blood.”
Huo Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After sitting for a while, feeling that he had regained some strength, Huo Zhao got up, supported by Shen Rang's hand.
Just then, Zhong Jie returned with a carriage.
Zhong Jie was worried about Huo Zhao and wanted to go back with him, but Huo Yue stopped her: "Zi Rong is enough for Zhao Zhao. I can see you are quite frightened. Stay here and rest for a while."
Huo Zhao nodded and said, "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine."
Zhong Jie looked intently at Shen Rang: "After you go back, please take good care of Zhao Zhao for me. If anything happens, come to the Prince's Mansion to find me anytime."
Now that Chen Qiang has given birth safely, she will stay at the Chen family home to finish her postpartum confinement before returning home. However, Huo Yue and Zhong Jie are preparing to leave soon.
Such a large prince's mansion cannot be left unattended.
Shen Rang nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mother-in-law."
Seeing the two people leave in the carriage, Zhong Jie's legs went weak and she almost sat down on the ground.
Now, she finally couldn't hold back her lingering fear.
But at that moment, a force supported her waist, and a continuous stream of power was transmitted into her body.
"Look at our Zhaozhao, how clever she is."
They knew how to protect themselves, didn't forget to save others, and most importantly, they had courage.
If he remembered correctly, the garment around the neck of the wet nurse who had fallen to the ground belonged to Huo Zhao.
Most people would have been terrified to see that scene, but Huo Zhao actually put a noose around someone's neck. Such courage truly befits Huo Yue's son.
That's no pushover!
Remembering the old woman lying on the ground, Zhong Jie asked, "How is that old woman? Is she dead?"
"No."
Huo Zhao had never done such a thing before; he had simply used too much force and strangled the person until they passed out.
However, precisely because of this, the old woman inadvertently became the only breakthrough point.
Huo Yue's expression turned serious: "Let's go back now. I'll have someone bring that old woman along."
The Chen family should not be tainted by any more bloodshed now, as it would be bad for the new mother.
Zhong Jie nodded and went to greet Madam Chen.
——
At that time, Mrs. Chen carried her two children back to the delivery room.
"Mother, why did you bring them back?" Chen Qiang asked in confusion. "Weren't we supposed to let them sleep for a while after feeding them?"
Madam Chen sighed and recounted the incident of the assassin infiltrating the area.
Seeing that Chen Qiang was visibly getting agitated, Madam Chen quickly said, "Don't worry, look, aren't the two children perfectly fine here?"
Chen Qiang belatedly lowered her voice.
"It's all thanks to Zhaozhao. If she hadn't gone to check on the children, who knows what would have happened to them," Madam Chen said. "Also, your in-laws have gone back. Don't worry, this matter will definitely not just end like this."
Chen Qiang held the two children in her arms and saw that they were sleeping so soundly. She didn't know whether to worry or laugh: "After I finish my postpartum confinement, I must thank Zhao Zhao properly."
Huo Shu said, "You should rest well first. I'll go back to the Prince's residence to see what's going on."
They dare to lay a hand on his family? That's outrageous!
He wanted to see who was really behind this!
