But she had no evidence, so it was hard to say.
Then he asked, "Have you found out now?"
Chan Xue shook her head. "Not so quickly. Even if we found out, we wouldn't know. After all, the general kept this matter very secret, and we wouldn't dare to ask around."
After learning that Duan Shishi had returned, they were both very anxious, but Xuan Yi and Xuan Er were not there at the time, so they couldn't go out to look for Duan Qingxi.
So he kept trying to find out about Duan Shishi's situation, but unfortunately he couldn't find out anything.
Seeing Duan Qingxi remained silent, Qiao Yun thought she was sad, so she whispered to comfort her, "Miss, it's okay. Even if the Second Miss comes back, she can't compare to you! You...you still have us..."
Although he didn't know what Qiao Yun was thinking, Duan Qingxi still felt it was very heartwarming.
She smiled and said, "No, I'm not sad. I'm just wondering why Duan Shishi came back at this time..."
As she spoke, she suddenly shouted, "Xuan Yi Xuan Er!"
Xuan Yi and Xuan Er, who were guarding outside, hurried in upon hearing this.
"Princess!"
Duan Qingxi looked at them and said, "Duan Shishi is back. I think there's something fishy going on here. It's most likely her doing this. So, you should go to the nunnery in Mount Li right now and find out what exactly happened."
"yes!"
After Xuan Yi and Xuan Er left, Duan Qingxi was still a little worried, so he stood up and said, "You two should come with me to take a look."
She wanted to see whether Duan Shishi was really seriously injured or just pretending!
At this moment, Duan Hong and Duan Sijin were both in Duan Shishi's yard.
The servants were all serving in the room, and Duan Shishi had just woken up, so neither the father nor the son wanted to see her.
But Duan Shishi is Duan Hong's child after all, and it is half his responsibility that he mistook her for her before. Even if Duan Hong doesn't like her, he still has to fulfill his responsibilities as a father.
Duan Hong looked at Duan Sijin and asked, "Have you found out everything?"
Duan Sijin shook his head. "We haven't investigated it yet. We only know that the nunnery caught fire and almost all the nuns perished in the flames. Duan Shishi was rescued by the people we sent to protect her. On their way back, they encountered assassins, so almost all of her protectors died... As for the cause of the fire in the nunnery and who those who were chasing her were, we still haven't found out."
Duan Hong frowned and said, "This matter is not simple. You must investigate it thoroughly! If you can't find it for the time being, then withdraw the people in public and send someone to investigate privately."
Hearing Duan Hong's words, Duan Sijin was stunned for a moment, "Dad, what do you mean..."
"The matter hasn't been thoroughly investigated yet, so don't say anything carelessly." He paused and sighed again, "I hope I'm just overthinking it."
Duan Sijin was quite surprised. Duan Shishi came back covered in injuries. He thought Duan Hong would be soft-hearted and trust Duan Shishi completely as before.
But unexpectedly, he would also suspect Duan Shishi.
Seeing Duan Sijin's expression, Duan Hong said helplessly, "Although I favor Shishi, it's not that I don't understand. I was biased at the time because I just remembered your mother's instructions. Moreover, you also know that your mother was killed by... her mother. I always felt unbalanced. Now that I know the truth, I will naturally not be biased anymore."
At that time, it was thought that Duan Qingxi was the second wife's child, so even though Duan Hong knew that it was Duan Shishi who hurt Duan Qingxi, although he was angry, he still held a little hope, hoping that the child was not a bad person by nature. After all, Sun Jingjing was such a gentle person.
