After Chu Huanyan got on the carriage, she did not go to the Zhou family immediately, but went back to the Hou Mansion first.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, she saw the crescent moon waiting hurriedly outside.

Seeing Chu Huanyan get out of the carriage safely, Xianyue's tears were like broken beads, and she said in panic and self-blame: "Miss, you are finally back. Are you okay? It's all my fault, my slave..."

"Okay, I'm fine." Chu Huanyan comforted Xianyue and motioned for her to accompany her back home first.

While Chu Huanyan was changing her clothes, Xian Yue also hurriedly talked about what happened just now.

When she woke up, she was already at the gate of the Marquis. The person who sent her back told her that it was under the order of His Highness the Crown Prince. He also said that the young lady was rescued by His Highness the Crown Prince and that nothing happened.

She wanted to follow the other party to look for Chu Huanyan, but the other party said that she could not take anyone there without His Highness the Crown Prince's order.

She begged to no avail, so she could only wait at the door of the house.

By the time Xian Yue finished speaking, Chu Huanyan had already changed into clean clothes.

"Call Yunchen and let's go to Zhou's house together."

"Yunchen, that's right!" Xianyue suddenly remembered, "Miss, Yunchen has already gone to find you!"

"How does he know where I am?"

"He doesn't know either, but he told me to wait while he goes to find her."

After she was sent back just now, she met Yun Chen who was about to leave the house.

Originally, Yun Chen was worried when he saw that they hadn't come back for a long time, so he wanted to go to Zhou's house to find them.

After hearing what she said, the young lady was plotted against by the Zhou family, he was knocked unconscious, and the young lady was rescued by His Highness the Crown Prince. Now she didn't know where she was, Yun Chen said that he would go find the young lady and immediately flew away.

Chu Huanyan frowned, "You pick a few servants who are strict with you and go to Zhou's house with me first."

Yun Chen is very skilled in martial arts, so nothing will happen to him. As for the Zhou family, since they have been controlled by Xiao Jinzhi's people, they won't be able to make any waves even if they think about it.

Xian Yue immediately found a few servants, had someone prepare a car, and went to Zhou's house again with Chu Huanyan.

But what Chu Huanyan didn't expect was that the Zhou family would be in such a situation.

Zhou Xiuwen's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, his legs were broken, and he was lying on the ground in a panic.

Li Changqing, who had originally pricked his eye, had half of the blood on his face dried up, looking quite horrifying. More importantly, his hands and feet were obviously broken, and his whole body seemed to be breathing in but not out.

As for Zhou's mother and Chu Wanyan, they were so frightened that they shivered beside Zhou Xiuwen.

When she saw Chu Huanyan come in, Zhou's mother's already bloodless face turned even more pale as a ghost, and she kept kowtowing and apologizing.

Chu Huanyan looked at the two men dressed as guards standing by and asked, "Are you sent by His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Yes." The two guards nodded.

Although Chu Huanyan didn't expect that they would be so harsh and beat Zhou Xiuwen into such a state, she still nodded sincerely to thank him.

"Miss Chu." One of the guards probably saw Chu Huanyan's thoughts and said, "We did not fight these people."

Chu Huanyan was slightly stunned, "Then this is..."

"Someone claimed to be your bodyguard before, broke in, and asked them about your whereabouts. We wanted to stop it, but we were unable to do so, and were forced to retreat outside." The guard paused, "We followed the order of His Highness the Crown Prince. We were guarding the Zhou family, but we did not receive an order to attack them. If His Highness the Crown Prince takes the blame..."

"Don't worry, if His Highness the Crown Prince really blames you, I will explain it clearly to him." Chu Huanyan said immediately.

It seems that Yunchen has already arrived, and Zhou Xiuwen and Li Changqing were beaten into this state by Yunchen.

Chu Huanyan glanced at them again, feeling that they deserved it.

Just as he was about to speak, the next moment he heard footsteps behind him.

"Miss Chu's guards are really overbearing."

It's Xiao Jinzhi!

Chu Huanyan turned around and saw that the hem of Xiao Jinzhi's robe had been scratched to a large extent, and the robe was slightly messy, as if he had just experienced a fight.

Qin Li, who was following him, even had bruises on his face.

And the person who walked in right behind them was Yun Chen.

The white robe was stained with dust and was damaged in several places. The wrists that had been wrapped before had a lot of blood. The gauze was stained red, and there was a chill all over the body.

However, the moment he saw Chu Huanyan safe and sound, his sharp eyes instantly softened, and Yun Chen immediately walked to Chu Huanyan's side.

"Miss……"

Chu Huanyan looked at Yun Chen with mixed emotions, "You're not... looking for a fight with His Highness, are you?"

Yunchen's face froze, and he remembered what Chu Huanyan had told him before. He ignored the injury on his wrist and knelt down on one knee facing Chu Huanyan.

"Miss, I know my mistake."

Just now he learned that the Zhou family had drugged the young lady, and also learned from Zhou Xiuwen that the young lady was by the lake, so he immediately chased after her.

But when they arrived, they only saw Xiao Jin getting on the carriage alone. He asked about the whereabouts of the young lady, but he didn't answer.

He was so anxious that he wanted to break into the boat, and then he got into a fight with Xiao Jinzhi and the guards beside him.

"Miss Chu, this guard of yours is loyal, but looking at him alone, he is so bold that he is definitely not an ordinary person." Xiao Jinzhi said leisurely.

With one sentence, Chu Huanyan's heart trembled, and she immediately scolded Yun Chen with a cold face.

"How can you be rude to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

After saying that, he turned to Xiao Jinzhi and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. Yun Chen was also impatient for a moment. If I offended him, I am willing to apologize for Yun Chen."

Yun Chen immediately spoke: "Since this subordinate has done something wrong and offended His Highness, Your Highness will have no complaints about how to deal with his subordinates, but this matter has nothing to do with the lady."

"Yun Chen!" Chu Huanyan glanced at him.

Xiao Jinzhi looked at the two of them, his originally smiling expression turned a bit colder, and he felt a little unhappy.

"You two... have a deep relationship as master and servant."

Qin Li, who was secretly rubbing his wound at the side, couldn't help but be startled when he heard these words, and quietly glanced at his highness.

Is it his imagination?

Why does His Highness's tone sound a little sour?

Chu Huanyan was unsure of Xiao Jinzhi's thoughts, so for a while she just kept her head bowed and saluted without speaking.

"Get up." Xiao Jinzhi looked at Chu Huanyan and waved.

Now he seems to be cautious and cautious, for fear of getting angry, but just now in the boat, when he was busy trying to distance himself from the relationship, why weren't he afraid of getting angry?

"Thank you, Your Highness." Chu Huanyan stood up straight and looked at Yun Chen again.

Xiao Jinzhi's tone was lukewarm, "Guard Yun, please get up too."

Yun Chen stood up, lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

On the side, the panicked Chu Wanyan saw that not only Chu Huanyan had arrived, but also the prince had arrived, and her heart became more and more panicked.

Gritting his teeth, he rushed forward and grabbed Chu Huanyan's arm, and began to beg for mercy.

"Sister, I realize my mistake. I really realize my mistake. I didn't mean to harm you."

With that said, Chu Wanyan pointed at Zhou’s mother and said loudly.

"It's all this poisonous woman, it was her, she forced me!"
