Considering various factors, he stepped forward to dissuade his uncle, suggesting that his attitude be less forceful.

This couple, they can only come soft. Hard tactics will likely break their teeth.

Since Fang Jinshu still feels a bit guilty about Xiao Xuan's death, she will definitely take good care of Bai Yu.

"Uncle, no."

Just as King Jing was about to say more, Fang Jinshi directly interrupted him, her tone unusually gentle.

I understand the Duke's concerns. Before Bai Yu wakes up, we can stay at the Duke's Mansion without any problems.

"Please have the official return to our residence and report in, so that my mother at home will not be worried."

Bai Guogong, when met with Fang Jinshi, was not as fierce and unreasonable as the rumors claimed. He was even quite easy to talk to. It seems that rumors cannot always be believed.

"This is natural, I'll have someone send a message to Jinxiu Mountain Villa right away."

Fan Jinshu nodded. The two stayed overnight at the princess's residence.

Bai Yu woke up the second morning. Unlike her previous frenzy, she was now silent and spoke not a word.

The Crown Princess, hearing that her son had woken up, came to Fang Jinshi's room in person.

"Lady of the Martial Marquis, Yu'er has woken up."

Please go check on him again.

As a mother, one's heart aches when their son is in trouble. While the status of the eldest princess' consort was undoubtedly high, she displayed exceptional deference and even humility before Fang Jinxiu.

In the eyes of the madam, she was just a mother begging for help to save her son. Her arrogant bullying tactics were never popular in the Bai family anyway.

As mothers, Fang Jinshu can understand the feelings of the wife of the prince.

"Madam, there is no need to worry. Since young master Bai has woken up, it means everything is fine."

I'll go whisper to him again.

Bai Yu's body was as she had said yesterday, much better after a night's sleep. Fang Jinxiu checked her over and simply repeated the conclusion from yesterday.

But Bai Guogong remained silent for a long time.

She helplessly said, "If the Duke doesn't trust me, you can ask another imperial physician to come and take a look."

The young master Bai actually had this idea. After all, they weren't familiar with the martial arts wife, and earlier when Yu'er was so ill, she only stayed inside for more than an hour and said he was fine.

Could she, just a woman, possess such skill in medicine

Fang Jinshu saw their meaning. Although she had a prestigious background as the wife of a Marquis thanks to her marriage, these nobles in Beijing still inevitably viewed her through a certain lens due to her humble origins.

If it were anyone else today, given Fang Jinxiu's temper, they would have beaten Ah Yu up long ago and wouldn't be standing here letting them question her.

Yet, a cloud of suspicion and guilt hung over her heart regarding Bai Xuan's death. She remained silent, standing by idly as they sized her up and speculated.

Zong Yu was almost unable to bear it any longer. He wouldn't let his daughter-in-law suffer even a sliver of grievance in her daily life, so how could the Duke be like this These people didn't believe that Jinxiu actually had the face to call her here!

His face darkened, and he was about to pull Fang Jinshu away and leave.

If he wanted to leave, even the entire Duke's Manor wouldn't be able to stop him.

Unexpectedly, the Madam of the Prince stood up at this moment. As Bai Yu's mother, she was the first to speak up for Fang Jinxiu.

“I believe in Lady Wu.”

"Father, husband, there's no need to call the imperial physicians anymore. If the people at the Imperial Hospital could heal our Little Feather, would we go to such lengths as asking His Royal Highness to summon Lady Wuhou"

"Since she said Yu'er is fine, I believe her."

"Let's go in and see how Yu'er is doing, shall we"

When Baiguo Gong heard his daughter-in-law's words, he fell silent. Baishi Zi naturally wouldn't contradict his wife's words.

After Yu'er's accident, everyone in the household was worried, but the mistress was the most concerned. Yu'er was her precious son after nine months of pregnancy, and no one cared about his health more than she did.

"Father, what MingYue said makes sense. Let's go in and see how Yu'er is doing first before we talk."

White Guogong saw that his son had also spoken, so he nodded slowly.

"Well then, let's go in and see Yu'er first."

Everyone entered Bai Yu's room and saw him sitting calmly by the bed, his usual grim expression vanished, and his gaze towards them became very peaceful.

Besides looking a little haggard, he didn't seem much different from usual.

It seems that this Lady of the Wu Hou truly has some skill.

"Yu'er, how are you"

The White Prince and his wife rushed to their son's side, their eyes filled with worry.

Bai Yu raised her head, "Father, Mother, I've worried you. I'm fine."

When he opened his mouth, his voice was no longer the deep and clear sound it once was; it was raspy.

This, Yu'er's voice.

Fang Jinshu said, "The voice is only temporary. He had smoked so much into his throat before, it takes time to gradually recover after conditioning."

"Just take the medicine as prescribed and don't worry about it."

The couple nodded.

Baiguo Gong walked in front of Bai Yu.

He also felt heartache for his grandson, but as the only heir of the Duke's mansion, he couldn't let his grandson continue to be immersed in the sorrow of Xiaoxuan's death.

The Quadruple Nations Trade Fair is just around the corner, a great opportunity for noble scions to display their talents before His Majesty.

If one could gain the Emperor's favor and enter the court as an official, then the glory of the Guo Gongfu would continue for generations to come.

A family with only fame but no real power will inevitably decline within just a few decades.

"Yu'er, the murderer who killed Xiao Xuan's grandfather will definitely be investigated to the end, but you, you are carrying the burden of the Duke's mansion on your shoulders, and you can no longer be willful."

The quadrennial Four Nations Trade Fair is about to begin in a month, so you must start preparing now.

Fang Jinshu frowned, this is what a wealthy family is like

The death of one's granddaughter is apparently not as important as having a chance to excel before the emperor.

Family honor is above all, even above the lives of relatives.

Bai Yu seemed to have known this was coming all along, her brows never furrowed once. She stood up and bowed deeply to her grandfather and parents.

"The grandson is unfilial, causing his grandfather worry."

"Sun Er understands the responsibility on his shoulders, but he won't let Xiao Xuan's death go unpunished."

"At the Four Nations Trade Conference, Sun Er will definitely do his best. If I can fulfill my grandfather's request, could my grandfather also agree to one of my requests"

White Guogong frowned slightly, disliking it when juniors haggled with him.

But the current one is the only offspring of the Bai family, he can't help it even if he dislikes him.

"You said."

"As for finding the culprit behind Xiao Xuan's murder, I won't interfere."

"But if I still haven't found him after the Four Nations Trade Summit ends, I'll come investigate myself."

"I will kill him with my own hands."

Bai Yu gritted her teeth, the last sentence laced with endless hatred and fury.

White Shizi and his wife's faces tightened, frightened by Bai Yu's sudden change. They thought their son's illness had returned.

To everyone's surprise, Bai Yu's expression returned to normal the next second, as if nothing had just happened.

"Please, Grandfather, grant your grandson's wish."

This kid grew up right under his nose. He knew how stubborn he was, and he made decisions that no one else could easily influence, including his parents.

Bai Guogong sighed, "Fine, I'll agree to it."

Bai Yu let out a breath, “Grandfather, Father, Mother, I feel my body is still a bit tired and want to rest.”

But before we take a break, I'd like to have a few words with Marquis Wuding and his wife privately. Xia quickly nodded and stepped forward.After a while, he went down."My lord, the prince's wrist is only swollen.
