Chengli looked on with remorse. "I'm sorry, Miss. I've caused you trouble."
Mu Chenshuang reached out and stroked Chengli's head, comforting him, "You didn't cause me any trouble. You need to be more careful here from now on, okay?"
Chengli nodded and hummed in agreement.
Mu Chenshuang looked at Linglong and asked, "Did you seriously injure Wei Xu?"
Linglong pondered for a moment and said, "When I woke up, I saw Prince Wei lying next to me, touching me inappropriately, and muttering 'Ya'er' in his mouth."
As Linglong spoke, she belatedly realized something. "At the time, Prince Wei seemed to be somewhat delirious, so I picked up the wooden box that was on the bedside table and smashed it on his head. I don't know what happened, but he immediately fell to the ground unconscious. I wanted to check on him, but before I could get out of bed, Madam burst in."
According to Linglong, Wei Xu mistook her for Mu Yazhi, which clearly indicates that he was drugged and hallucinating.
"Did you smash his wooden box?"
If it were just a wooden box, hitting it wouldn't knock out a man of normal build.
Linglong looked at the ground and didn't see anything that had fallen. She panicked. "When Madam forced me to leave, I remember I think I fell on the ground."
Chengli helped search around, but Mu Chenshuang looked around and couldn't find it. Since it wasn't on the ground, it must have been taken by someone.
At this moment.
A maidservant entered and said, "Princess, Madam wants you to take Linglong to the front hall."
Linglong immediately tensed up, "Miss?"
Mu Chenshuang gave her a reassuring look, "You just rest here, you don't need to go over there, I can handle it."
Linglong hummed in agreement.
Mu Chenshuang instructed Qi Ye to stay here and keep watch.
She then went to the front hall and saw the angry old Prince Wei sitting on a stool.
Upon seeing him, Mu Chenshuang greeted him respectfully, saying, "Chenshuang greets Prince Wei."
The old Prince Wei stared at Mu Chenshuang with eyes full of anger, "Princess Weiyang, are you not going to hand over the murderer who injured my son?"
Faced with the old prince's anger, Mu Chenshuang remained remarkably calm. "I'd like to know how badly Linglong injured the young master Wei?"
Mu Yazhi looked distressed. "He suffered a severe head injury and is currently unconscious. If Linglong had been any more violent, he might have already died. The doctor said that given Wei Shizi's current condition, even if he wakes up, he will likely suffer serious long-term effects."
These words were nothing short of adding fuel to the fire.
"Really? Then I'd like to see it for myself."
"Sister, do you think I'm lying? The doctor examined me personally. You don't know how to diagnose illnesses, what could you possibly tell?"
"Since it involves my maid, I should at least take a look."
Lu Wei looked at Prince Wei, "What do you think, Your Highness?"
Old Prince Wei was already furious, and now seeing Mu Chenshuang's nonchalant and indifferent attitude only made him angrier and more humiliated, feeling a sense of being looked down upon.
Old Prince Wei's deep-set eyes narrowed, and he stood up, snorted angrily, and walked towards the door.
Mu Chenshuang followed.
They entered the side room.
Wei Xu lay motionless on the bed, unconscious, but his furrowed brows betrayed his discomfort.
Mu Chenshuang walked to the bedside and asked the doctor beside her, "Where are you injured?"
The doctor replied, "There is a large patch of blood on the back of the head."
Mu Chenshuang bent down, reached out and touched him, then withdrew her hand and asked, "How much longer will you remain unconscious before waking up?"
"The injuries are very serious. It could take anywhere from four or five days to four or five months."
Upon hearing this, Prince Wei's wrinkled face was filled with anger. "Mu Chenshuang, if you don't hand over that maid today, don't blame me for being impolite to you."
Mu Chenshuang slowly turned to look at Prince Wei, "Prince Wei, the most important thing right now is to heal Prince Wei. As for the rest, we can talk about it after Prince Wei wakes up."
Prince Wei laughed angrily, "Wait until my son wakes up. If he doesn't wake up, are you going to just let this matter go? Mu Chenshuang, let me tell you, even if you have the gold medal bestowed by His Majesty, I will not let it go so easily."
