"It's almost the end of the hour of You (5-7 PM)." Xiao Yanchu took a pillow and placed it behind Su Ruojin. "I'll have someone bring some food over."
"Hmm, how is Mu Yao doing?" Su Ruojin asked.
"She hasn't woken up yet; Shen Yu and Yan Luo are taking care of her."
"As for my mother and grandmother..."
Xiao Yanchu knew that Su Ruojin was afraid that the two elders would worry if they found out, so he said, "I have already told the people in the mansion not to tell my mother and grandmother."
Su Ruojin doesn't need to dine with Consort Jiang and the old lady every day. As long as no one tells them, they won't know for the time being.
"That's good. I'll go see Mu Yao after I finish eating."
The servants brought dinner, and Xiao Yanchu gently helped her up and she ate something before they went to Su Muyao's room together.
"Your Highness." Upon seeing Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu enter, Shen Yu, who was feeding Su Muyao medicine, put down the medicine bowl and stood up.
Yanluo, who was standing nearby, also came forward and said, "Your Highness, the Second Miss's pulse has stabilized, and she should wake up tomorrow."
"Mm." Su Ruojin nodded and walked to the bedside to look at Mu Yao.
Although Mu Yao's eyes were still closed, her face was no longer as pale as before, which put her at ease.
Su Ruojin looked at Shen Yu and could clearly see that he had two big dark circles under his eyes. "How long has it been since you slept, Prince Shen?"
“Your Highness, Prince Shen hasn’t slept since yesterday,” Yanluo said.
Yesterday, after Su Ruojin went to rest, Shen Yu said he would take care of her and let Yan Luo rest for a while before relieving him.
It was somewhat inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room, but Yanluo could not deny the worry in Shen Shizi's eyes.
She had always followed her mistress and wasn't one to be bound by worldly conventions, so she didn't care about such things and went to rest.
When she was ready to relieve Shen Yu after resting, Shen Yu refused to leave and insisted on staying.
Su Ruojin spoke up, "Young Master Shen, Mu Yao is recovering quite well, and she won't wake up tonight."
If you don't want to return to the Marquis's residence, then rest in the side hall next door for the night. Only when you are well-rested can you take good care of the patient.
“Yes, Prince Shen, why don’t you go and rest for a while? I’m here, it’ll be alright,” Yanluo advised.
Shen Yu thought for a moment and nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Yanluo. I'll rest in the side hall next door for a while. Miss Yanluo, please feel free to call me anytime if you need anything."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After Su Ruojin finished looking at Mu Yao, she returned to her room with Xiao Yanchu.
"Deng Yi ran away?"
After she woke up, Xiao Yanchu didn't mention it, but she already thought of it.
With Mu Yao rescued and Qingya Garden burned down, Deng Yi couldn't possibly be unaware of such a commotion.
"Yes, a tunnel leading to the outskirts of the city was discovered at the Deng residence. The person has already escaped, and I have sent people to chase after them."
"What about the Princess's residence?"
"My men came back and said that Xiao Yuerou has not made any moves and is focusing on resting in the mansion. It seems that she does not know about this matter. Wei Xuelin has not reacted either."
If Xiao Yuerou didn't know about this...
That can only mean that Wei Xuelin was behind everything.
If Deng Yi is indeed from Bei Li, as Su Muyao guessed, then Wei Xuelin is essentially colluding with Bei Li.
Or perhaps he didn't know Deng Yi was from Bei Li, and simply wanted to work with Deng Yi to deal with the Su family.
She could go to the princess's residence to confront her, but if she did that, she wouldn't be able to hide Mu Yao's affair from Madam Su.
"Qingya Garden has been burned down, and Wei Xuelin hasn't even reacted. Heh." Su Ruojin sneered. It was obvious he had something to hide. "Back then, they accused our Su family of treason. Now I'll see who really is treasonous!"
“I’ve already had someone investigate. Wei Xuelin said before that Madam Wei missed her daughter and fell ill, so he specially took Madam Wei to Bei Li to see her daughter,” Xiao Yanchu added.
Sometimes, to strike a snake, you have to kill it with one blow. Su Ruojin knew she couldn't rush things when dealing with the Wei family, otherwise she would end up like before, easily protected by Xiao Chenyi.
If the Wei family truly knew nothing about it, then so be it; otherwise, if they dared to harm Mu Yao, Deng Yi, and the Wei family like this, she would not let any of them go!
