Chapter 413 Heavy Penalty
Not long after Cui Hengyue got into the carriage, there was an exclamation from inside.

"Yuan Niang—"

Zeng Ming heard the movement and drove his horse closer: "What happened?"

Shui Fu raised the curtain, her expression flustered: "Commander Zeng, Yuan Niang has fainted."

Zeng Ming glanced in and saw that the clothes on Cui Hengyue's back had been dyed red, so he quickly told the coachman: "Hurry up and go back home."

He also ordered his subordinates: "You go back home on a fast horse, and let Dr. Chen wait in Jinglan Garden."

His subordinates rode over Cui Hengyue's carriage and rushed towards the Yasukuni Mansion.

The carriage galloped all the way, and after entering the side door, Zeng Ming found that Mrs. Cui had sent Wutong to wait, so he went to report to Cui Yongzong.

But Wutong, Shuifu and others directly sent Cui Hengyue back to Jinglan Garden, Doctor Chen didn't say anything, and directly treated Cui Hengyue's injuries.

After burning an incense stick, Dr. Chen came out from the inner room: "To the eldest lady and the third lady, Yuan Niang was stabbed in the back, there was no other injury, and there is no danger to her life.

"It's just that Yuan Niang lost too much blood and couldn't wake up temporarily."

As soon as he finished speaking, two different voices sounded in the room.

"Then how long will it take for her to wake up?"

"Will the wound on her back leave a scar in the future?"

Looking at each other, Liu squeezed out a smile and said in a humble tone, "Mr. Chen, you should answer Da Furen's question first."

Dr. Chen lowered his eyes, did not try to figure out their thoughts, but replied truthfully: "This is not sure, but if Da Furen wants Yuan Niang to wake up earlier, I can give Yuan Niang some medicine."

"No need, just let her sleep well." Mrs. Cui refused.

But suddenly a majestic voice came from the door: "Give Yuanniang medicine, let her wake up now."

Mrs. Cui frowned subconsciously, feeling displeased, but when she found out that it was Cui Quan, she hurried to greet her: "Father, why are you here?"

"Let me take a look." Cui Quan replied casually, and then ordered Dr. Chen: "Give Yuanniang medicine and let her wake up as soon as possible."

After Doctor Chen said yes, he immediately went to prepare.

Mrs. Cui was full of worry: "Father, I know you have something to ask Yuanniang, but Yuanniang still has injuries on her body, so if you wake her up with medicine at this time, it will definitely damage her body.

"It's better to wait for her to wake up, and father will ask again, is it possible?"

Hearing Mrs. Cui's words, Liu Shi, who was standing by the side, became uneasy. As the eldest aunt, Mrs. Cui cared so much about Cui Hengyue, so she, the mother in name, could not lose.

Liu Shi immediately agreed: "Yes, Lord, please ask after Yuanniang wakes up."

Cui Quanwen sat on the throne, his majesty remained unchanged: "Don't worry, with Dr. Chen around, Yuan Niang will be fine."

Unable to dissuade, Mrs. Cui had no choice but to sit down beside Cui Yongzong and wait silently.

Mrs. Liu glanced at Mrs. Cui, and sat silently beside her husband.

At this time, Cui Yonglang and Mrs. Cui Er supported Mrs. Cui and walked in: "I heard that Yuan Niang is back, how is her injury?"

The moment they saw Mrs. Cui, everyone except Cui Quan stood up and saluted:

"Mother."

"Old lady."

Everyone took their seats, but Mrs. Liu dared not sit down.

This is Jinglan Court, a place where she is not welcome, not to mention that the people in the room at the moment are all higher status than her, and there is an old lady who has always hated her, so she suddenly became uneasy.

The Duke and the old lady are aggressive, so they don't want to punish her, right?
However, Cui Hengyue picked that ugly woman herself, so what does it have to do with her?
While thinking wildly, Dr. Chen had already reported to Cui Quan: "Master Yuan, Mother Yuan is awake."

Cui Quan then ordered the maid in the room: "Go and help Yuan Niang out."

His voice was loud, and Shui Fu and Shui Rong, who had been taking care of Cui Hengyue in the inner room, heard it and slowly helped Cui Hengyue up.

After Xiang Ye came in, seeing this scene, she stepped aside.

Cui Hengyue came out from the inner room, pushed Shui Fu and Shui Rong away, and wanted to salute: "I have seen my grandfather."

"You are injured, so you don't need to salute, just sit down and talk." Cui Quan stopped her.

"Thank you grandfather."

Mrs. Cui winked at Wutong.

Wu Tong immediately stepped forward, supported Cui Hengyue to sit on a chair with cushioned pillows, and then retreated to Mrs. Cui's side.

As soon as Cui Hengyue sat down, Mrs. Cui couldn't wait to ask: "Who is that Mrs. Wen? Why did she fake her identity and sneak into the mansion?"

Except for the concubines, all the descendants are here. When Cui Hengyue first came out and saw this battle, she was really surprised, but after seeing Cui Quan, she felt it made sense.

Cui Hengyue raised her head, her face was blank: "I don't know, aren't the people who enter the mansion clean? Why are there people who are assigned to Jinglan Court and have fake identities?"

When she said this, Cui Hengyue didn't dare to go to see Mrs. Cui, after she finished speaking, she silently said in her heart: Auntie, I'm sorry.

Mrs. Cui was not ambiguous, and she stood up and admitted her mistake: "I did not investigate her identity carefully. The responsibility lies with me. I also ask my father and mother to punish me."

Cui Quan ignored her and asked Cui Hengyue, "Do you know Wang Balang?"

"I know him, he is my coachman, he just entered the mansion not long ago." Cui Hengyue replied truthfully.

Cui Quan said again: "Do you know that the man who later helped Miss Wen escape was that Wang Balang?"

"What?" Cui Hengyue was surprised, "Isn't Wang Balang a coachman? He also has martial arts?"

Mrs. Cui interrupted again: "Father, Yuan Niang's former coachmen were not well protected, so I recruited a new group of coachmen for Yuan Niang.

"But I didn't expect to be taken advantage of by someone with a heart. This is all my fault, and I ask my father to punish me."

Cui Quan was already in a bad mood, and when he heard this, he said angrily: "That's right, it's because you didn't do your job well and recruited people with ulterior motives into the mansion.

"You are in charge of Zhongfei, but you have made such a big mistake, you can hardly escape the blame.

"From today on, you don't have to worry about the backyard."

Liu's heart was overjoyed, the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising, realizing that there were too many people in the room, she immediately lowered her head, restraining her joy.

Mrs. Cui did not argue, and said respectfully: "Yes."

Cui Hengyue was in a hurry, and was about to speak for Mrs. Cui, when Cui Yongzong stood up.

"Father, Mrs. Xie has been in charge of Zhongfu for more than ten years, and there has never been anything wrong. This incident must be due to the recent troubles in the mansion, so there are some omissions.

"I also ask father to look at Mrs. Xie's achievements in the past and forgive her this time."

Mrs. Cui has coveted power for a long time, so she took the opportunity to intervene: "That's right, sister-in-law has never had any troubles before, but this time things are different.

"There have been assassins in the mansion before, but no one has been caught so far. Maybe that Mrs. Wen and Wang Balang were the former assassins. Because they have been hiding in the mansion, we have not caught them."

"Second Aunt, what you said is wrong." Cui Hengyue interrupted her: "I remember that when there was an assassination incident before, Wang Balang hadn't entered the mansion yet."

Mrs. Cui's expression froze, as if this was the case.

Seeing his wife choking, Cui Yonglang said: "But at that time, Mrs. Wen was already by your side."

Cui Hengyue was choked up for a moment, but she quickly said: "I remember that when the assassin held me hostage, Mrs. Wen was already injured and fell down.

"From this point of view, even though the identities of Mrs. Wen and Wang Balang are unknown, they have nothing to do with the previous assassins.

"My aunt was at fault, but I was also at fault. My fault was that I didn't know people well, and I didn't discover their fake identities earlier.

"Grandpa wants to punish my aunt severely, so I should also be punished severely."
