Chapter 1515 Unaware of the Need to Care for Her Husband
Zhuang Shijue did not wake up after the surgery and remained in a coma.
An was personally guarding the operating room. Liang Yi looked serious. He was in charge of things in Kyoto, but such a thing happened last night, and he couldn't escape responsibility.
"I've already sent people to investigate this matter, and it should be..."
"Should be?" An asked coldly, her sharp eyes glancing at Liang Yi. "Is this the kind of ability the Second Young Master's right-hand man possesses?"
Liang Yi remained silent. He was Zhuang Shijue's teammate. After retiring from the military, he underwent intensive training in the training camp for two years. After Zhuang Shijue retired from the military, he had been working by his side. He was the one who managed the Chen Palace in the capital.
Liang Yi, An Zai Ren, and even veterans like Lu Zeng and Guan Cheng all came from the same place. Therefore, An Zai Ren could be considered Liang Yi's senior, and Liang Yi always maintained the respect due to a junior in front of An Zai Ren.
"Yes, we will find out the truth as soon as possible and improve ourselves," Liang Yi said loudly.
Zai An's phone rang. He glanced at the screen, then at Liang Yi, and strode away. Liang Yi heard Zai An call out "Master" when he answered the phone, and his body tensed instantly. It was Master Zhuang calling. He wondered if Master Zhuang would fire them all in a fit of anger over this.
Soon after Zai'an returned, Liang Yi looked at Zai'an with fear.
"Did Master Zhuang... give any instructions?" Liang Yi asked.
"Once Second Master is out of danger, return to the capital immediately," said An Dao.
They probably didn't feel comfortable leaving the second young master alone here. After all, this was the second young master's first "job transfer," and for something like this to happen on his first job transfer was quite shocking to everyone in the Zhuang family.
Liang Yi was a little anxious, "Second Master's physical condition, isn't this kind of travel bad for his injuries?"
An's face was solemn. Everyone could have guessed this, but that was what Master Zhuang had ordered. What else could they do?
“We’ll send a fruit tree doctor over to take care of things throughout,” An replied.
Liang Yi felt a little relieved and was quite reassured about Dr. Guomu.
Zhuang Shijue's wound was quite deep, but fortunately it didn't hit any vital organs. He woke up once the effects of the medicine wore off, but the excessive blood loss made him look extremely weak.
On the third day, the person was picked up directly by helicopter and taken back to Beijing.
With Zhuang Shijue hospitalized, the Zhuang family's happy holiday came to an end. The third wife and her entourage hurriedly returned to the capital and went straight to the hospital as soon as they got off the plane.
"Who did it? Has the murderer been found?" The third wife asked immediately upon seeing An Shi.
After a moment of silence, An said, "We have made some progress and are currently verifying the information further."
Of course, the Third Madam wouldn't be happy to hear this, after all, it was her own son. How could she remain calm after her son was assassinated? So she quickly added two more sentences after An Yan finished speaking.
"This matter is serious after all. Before we have obtained sufficient evidence, there are some things that I cannot say. Please understand, Third Madam."
This wasn't just a flimsy excuse; the investigation was genuinely tricky. It happened over Kyoto, in a plane—how could they investigate? And at night, the incident in Kyoto made a thorough investigation impossible. Furthermore, the ambush of the second young master of the Zhuang family couldn't be publicized, making the investigation extremely cautious. As a result, they hadn't yet determined which side was involved.
The third wife got into the car with a sullen face, and the car arrived at the hospital.
When the third wife got out of the car, she turned around and looked at the person sitting in the car. Mu Ning got out of the car, and the third wife blocked her way: "The hospital is bad luck. If you are not feeling well, don't go in. You must be tired after such a long flight. Go home and rest first."
"It's okay, I still want to go check on my uncle. We're already at the hospital entrance." Mu Ning quickly refused.
That arrogant rich kid almost got killed.
She was worried, but Mu Ning still couldn't quite believe it. She decided to go and see him. She didn't know if Zhuang Shiyuan would come to the hospital, but as his sister-in-law, she felt it was only right and proper for her to visit him.
The third wife didn't try to persuade her further. She figured it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look at the door. She glanced sideways at Bai Xin'ai, who had gotten out of the car a step behind her. She was angry, and this anger was definitely directed at her.
“Shijue is your husband, how can you not cherish your husband?” the third wife said with a stern face.
These words are just like what Aunt Zhuang said about the Third Madam back then. Even after the Third Madam and Third Master had been married for quite some time, she still didn't understand her husband's preferences, and even showing him affection only came to her many years later. But now that it's her own son and daughter-in-law, this has become unforgivable.
If you're unwilling, why get married? No one forced you to get married; you chose it yourself. Since you've made the choice, do your duty. Don't you know who your husband is? If you really can't get along with him, you have to pretend in front of others.
Bai Xin'ai nodded, her head slightly bowed. "Okay."
"What's so good about it? You..." The third wife was worried about her son, and seeing her daughter-in-law's indifferent attitude, her heart tightened.
Mu Ning entered the hospital first, then gave Bai Xin'ai a gentle push, a little too forcefully because she was anxious. She meant no harm; she simply wanted Bai Xin'ai to catch up quickly.
But before he could even speak, Bai Xin'ai pushed him away.
Bai Xin'ai acted unintentionally. She appeared calm on the surface, but was actually slightly annoyed inside. So when Mu Ning made her move, she reflexively pushed her away. Even if it had been someone else who made the move, Bai Xin'ai would have done the same thing; it was purely an unconscious action.
Mu Ning was pushed back a step by Bai Xin'ai, but was caught by Mu Ning's mother. Mu Ning's mother was immediately displeased and said loudly with a red face, "Second Young Mistress, why did you push my Ning'er? If the baby in your belly is hurt, can you afford to compensate?"
After regaining her balance, Mu Ning quickly grabbed her mother and said anxiously, "Mom, don't say that!"
She didn't believe her mother, standing next to her, hadn't seen that she had struck first, but once her mother spoke up, people around would instinctively assume that Bai Xin'ai had pushed her.
Bai Xin'ai turned to look at Mu Ning, not at Mu Ning's mother, and suddenly sneered, "Did I push you?"
“That’s not what my mom meant…” Mu Ning explained apologetically, “She’s just worried about me.”
"So you get nervous just from a little push..."
Before Bai Xinai could finish speaking, a muffled thud rang out, followed by a burning pain on his face. It turned out that the Third Madam had returned and slapped him across the face.
The third wife glared coldly at Bai Xin'ai, "Don't even think about stirring up trouble in the Zhuang family. The Zhuang family cannot tolerate any dirty or despicable acts. Today is just to teach you a lesson. If there is a next time, you will be kicked out of the Zhuang family!"
Bai Xin'ai calmly met the Third Madam's gaze, a fleeting anger flashing in her eyes, which she quickly suppressed.
"I respect you as my elder, so I'll accept this slap." After saying this, Bai Xin'ai strode into the hospital.
