The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 952 The Superior

The moment it was discovered that Meng Shisan had quietly left the Meng residence while Meng Zhidu was leaving Taichen Courtyard to report to Meng Tianguan at Changchun Courtyard that Li Heng was requesting a human exchange, the entire household was in an uproar.

Apart from Meng Tianguan and Old Madam Meng staying in the mansion, with Shang Shi, Wu Shi, and Meng Meijing by their side, the rest of the servants were mobilized to rush to the alley of Anmofang Washa at full speed.

Even Meng Ren'an ran out to look for people.

The Shang family didn't notice at first, and by the time they did, it was too late to catch up with Meng Ren'an.

Wu held Shang's hand tightly, wanting to say something, but her bloodless lips trembled violently, making it impossible for her to utter a single coherent word.

Shang grasped Wu's trembling hand tightly. Meng Renping had gone to Fangshan on official business and had not returned yet, so she couldn't help but worry about him day and night. Now that even her second son had gone out to look for her eldest niece and nephew, she was just as worried.

But as a mother herself, she understood Wu's extreme fear at this moment, and the only thing she could do for Wu as the eldest sister-in-law was to hold her tightly.

Therefore, when Li Shou brought Meng Shisan and Meng Renkang back to the Meng residence, the residence was almost empty.

Ninety percent of the people in the mansion, whether masters or servants, went out to look for Meng Shisan and Meng Renkang, the siblings.

Huang Jing and Ma Ji went straight to Taichen Courtyard to wait for Meng Shisan to return so they could discuss the shadowy incident in detail.

Li Shou, Meng Shisan, and Meng Renkang went straight to the main courtyard. As soon as they entered the main room, they all bowed to Li Shou. Wu Shi managed to restrain herself, but after the bows were completed, she rushed to the unharmed Meng Renkang, hugged him tightly, and then fainted.

"Mother!" Meng Meijing was still checking on Meng Renkang's injuries when Wu collapsed, and she cried out in alarm.

Meng Renkang also called out urgently, "Mother!"

Madam Shang quickly instructed Cai Mama, "Go and invite the physician from the Yan family to the Shanfang Academy."

He then said to Madam Wang and Ruyi, "Help the Second Madam back to her courtyard and take good care of her."

The physician from the Yan family was a newly arrived physician in the Meng family and lived in the Willow Residence in the front courtyard.

Madam Cai rushed to Liu Residence and quickly invited the physician from the Yan family to Shanfang Hospital.

When they arrived, Madam Wang and Ruyi had already helped Madam Wu into the house and onto the couch.

The physician from the Yan family quickly entered the inner room to take her pulse. After taking her pulse, he said, "Second Madam is fine. She was just worried about Fourth Young Master and Eldest Miss. Her emotions were fluctuating greatly. When she saw Fourth Young Master and Eldest Miss return safely, she was overjoyed. Her body, which hadn't eaten a single bite all day, couldn't withstand the pressure and fainted. Rest for a while, and when she wakes up, she should drink a bowl of calming medicine, then have a bowl of millet porridge to warm her stomach. After that, she can eat slowly and recover completely."

Meng Meijing was worried about both Wu Shi and Meng Renkang, but she was too busy to attend to both. Her mother was being taken care of by Wang Mama and Ruyi, and later the Yan family doctor examined her pulse. Her mother's fainting was probably related to her younger brother, who had just been rescued. She needed to know more before she could tell her mother the details after she woke up.

After Wu was helped away, Old Madam Meng quickly instructed Shang to arrange for someone to leave the mansion and inform the Meng family members who were still searching for the siblings, as well as those not from the Meng family, so that everyone still searching in the neighborhood could withdraw.

Meng Tianguan also sent Steward Chu to the Five Cities Military Command, going from one office to another, covering all five cities and directions, making sure to inform Meng Renkang and Meng Shisan that they had been found and there was no need to search anymore, and that all men and horses could be brought back.

Meng Zhidu and Meng Zhinian returned to the Meng residence one after the other. The servants of the Meng residence informed the government office in the capital, where Meng Zhidu and Lu Sen were both present. The servants of the Meng residence then went to Qingbei Academy to find Meng Zhinian, where Meng Zhinian and Bai Shanchang were also present. The two brothers received the good news from their servants at different times and places, and immediately set off for home.

Li Shou sat in the upper left seat of the main room, a first for him at the Meng residence. Usually, Meng Tianguan and Old Madam Meng would seat him first, and he would politely decline as their grandson, instead sitting to their lower left as a junior.

The difference of this moment made Meng Tianguan and Old Madam Meng subtly perceive this subtle change amidst their joy at the safe return of their eldest granddaughter and youngest grandson.

When their gaze swept to the upper left, the two elders' affection was tempered with a newfound respect and obedience for their superior.

This scene unfolded before Meng Shisan's eyes, but her expression remained unchanged, showing no emotion whatsoever.

From the moment she became Meng Liangchen and met Li Shou for the first time, she knew clearly that a ruler is a ruler and a subject is a subject.

This is the way of the king.

Regardless of how the process has been embellished, it remains an unchanging fact.

Her grandparents, one having spent most of their lives in power struggles and the other in family feuds, naturally understood this point long ago. However, Li Shou's past behavior and the grandparents' natural affection and pampering for their grandchildren had gradually diminished their understanding of this point until this moment.

Meng Tianguan learned that the reason Meng Renkang disappeared outside Qingbei Academy was because he was too trusting and was called out by a stranger without any precautions, which led to the disappearance of Meng Renkang and his servant Tang Wang.

Meng Renkang was rescued, but Tang Wang had already been killed by Li Heng's men, and even his body was not recovered.

When Guowang heard this from outside the main room, he covered his mouth, not daring to cry too loudly.

Aunt Jiang was also standing outside the main room. She heard it too. She saw Guo Wang was sad and upset, but she felt nothing.

If there is anything to be said about it, it is only sorrow.

Ultimately, as a concubine, her status wasn't much higher than these servants, especially since she had married a useless husband like Meng Zhinian, which gave her even less hope.

She came because she had watched the three children of the second wife grow up, and only by seeing the siblings safe and sound could she feel at ease.

She had originally come with Madam Wu. After Madam Wu fainted and returned to the hospital, she should have followed her back, but she just couldn't move her feet. She wanted to hear and see with her own eyes that the eldest young lady and the fourth young master were safe before she could return to the hospital.

Just then, she heard hurried footsteps. She turned around and saw the physician from the Yan family carrying a medicine box and walking quickly towards her.

After leaving the Shanfang Academy, the physician from the Yan family went straight to the Changchun Academy. As he climbed the stone steps, he saw Aunt Jiang under the eaves and nodded slightly.

Aunt Jiang nodded slightly.

After entering the main room and exchanging greetings, the physician from the Yan family focused on examining Meng Renkang's injuries. After the examination, he said that they were all superficial wounds, and that applying ointment and letting them rest would be enough to prevent any scarring.

After examining Meng Renkang, the physician of the Yan family turned to Meng Shisan: "Young Miss..."

"I don't need to." Meng Shisan wasn't injured, just a little dirty.

Meng Tianguan then inquired about the condition of his second wife. After learning that Wu was also unharmed, he said to Meng Renkang, "Kang-ge'er, go down with Doctor Yan and have him bandage your wound."
