Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

"Aunt Shiqin, what's wrong?"

A look of shock flashed across Ying Yufu's face. She turned and shouted to the gatekeeper, "Quickly, go and fetch the Cao family doctor."

The physician from the Cao family was sent by the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. His father was also a veteran military doctor who was loyal to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

The doorman reacted quickly and ran off to call for help.

Ying Yufu walked down the steps and grasped Shiqin's wrist. She glanced at Shiqin and saw that her cheeks were red and swollen, and there was blood at the corner of her lips. In particular, one of her eyes was so swollen that she could not see clearly, indicating that she had suffered a heavy blow.

"Miss, please, Madam, save Yue Niang! Please!"

Shiqin's voice was hoarse, and tears streamed down her face.

"What's wrong, Yue Niang? Aunt Shiqin, we won't abandon you. Don't speak yet, let me check your pulse first."

After comforting her, Ying Yufu reached out and felt Shiqin's pulse.

After purchasing Yan Xuzi's medical skills, she also became proficient in traditional Chinese medicine.

A moment later, her face paled as she loosened her grip on Shiqin's pulse.

Just then, the gatekeeper rushed over with a group of guards, carrying a stretcher.

They placed the zither on it and carried it into the mansion.

The crown prince turned back and followed them through the mansion.

Shiqin strained to open her non-swollen eye, which was bloodshot and filled with tears. "Miss, they are all beasts! They said Yueniang couldn't bear a son and wanted to demote her to a concubine. Now they want to sell her and even sell the child she gave birth to. Please, Miss, I really have no other choice."

"Are you impatient?" Ying Yufu asked.

Shiqin nodded frantically, tears streaming down her face. "I can't wait, Miss. If we don't go now, it will be too late. Those beasts are capable of anything."

"Alright, then you stay here and rest assured, I'll go rescue Yue Niang and her child."

"Miss, bring more people with you. Those people are crazy; they're capable of anything. Be careful."

Okay, I understand.

Ying Yufu didn't follow her any further, but turned and walked outside.

Shiqin stared intently at her figure, tears blurring her vision.

Seeing Ying Yufu's icy expression, the Crown Prince asked, "I have guards by my side, let's go directly there. Fu'er, do you know where Shiqin's house is?"

Ying Yufu nodded and said, "I know. Shiqin's family is in the west of the city, and her husband is a wealthy man from the Shen family in the west of the city."

Yue Niang is the daughter of Aunt Shiqin and Master Shen. A couple of years ago, I heard that Yue Niang married Lu Changshen, a newly appointed third-ranked scholar and now the clerk of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Let's go to the Shen family first. Judging from Aunt Shiqin's appearance, I reckon the Shen family isn't exactly clean either."

"Alright," the Crown Prince replied, and Wushuang naturally had no objections either. The three of them mounted their horses.

The moon was high in the sky at this time. Although there was no curfew in Beixuan, the number of pedestrians on the streets gradually decreased by this time.

The three headed straight for the Shen family's residence, where the sounds of string and wind instruments, as well as the cheerful laughter and toasts, could be heard from the main hall.

In a room not far from Shen Datang, a baby girl who had just turned one year old was crying her heart out.

The nanny holding her rolled her eyes and impatiently pinched the baby's hand.

"Cry, cry, cry. All you do is cry all day long. Don't you know what kind of worthless life you have? You'll have plenty of time to cry later."

"Hey, Sister Luo, that's not right. This little slut is lucky to be with our young master. If she weren't lucky, would she have caught his eye?"

"That's what another, younger nanny said."

"Oh my, Sister He, you have such a sweet tongue! Look at me, so clumsy with words. Yes, yes, it's a blessing for this child to be with our young master. She's still so young; she'll need to be raised for at least two or three years. She's really living the good life!"

The baby girl in the cradle, perhaps sensing her tragic future or perhaps because her thin clothes were too cold, was crying incessantly, her face turning blue from the cold.

The two old women came closer, stared at the baby and chuckled for a while, then pouted and said, "This little one is indeed quite handsome."

"So what if she's pretty? She's still a lowly slave. I heard that Shiqin is the maid of that Lady Sheng'en who's recently become famous in the capital. Oh, Sister He, do you think Lady Sheng'en will let it go if she finds out her maid is being bullied like this?"

"Sister Luo, you're overthinking it. Shiqin and Master Shen fell in love before Shangguan Tang even got married, and they got married."

Over the years, I've heard that they haven't had much contact, and I haven't heard that Shangguan Tang has taken good care of her.

Whether they live or die, Shangguan Tang doesn't care.

"Oh, I see..."

"Bang!"

The door was suddenly kicked open, and the sudden noise startled the two old women, who turned pale.

The two shouted in unison, "Who!"

Wushuang kicked open the door and barged in. Her silver-white mask gleamed coldly in the moonlight. She strode in, followed by the Crown Prince and Ying Yufu.

"Who are you? Don't come in! We're calling for help! Help! There's an assassin—!"

The two voices stopped abruptly, and Wushuang held a curved knife in each hand, placing it against their necks.

"Shut up. Answer whatever we ask you. If you talk nonsense or yell, I don't mind cutting your throats."

The two old women were so frightened that they trembled and turned pale.

"Who...who are you people? Do you know who Master Shen is entertaining? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

"Getting into trouble?"

Wushuang smiled.

She scoffed, "What kind of bullshit prince is he? It's the Crown Prince and Princess Anguo who can't afford to offend him?"

The two old women were stunned for a moment, and when they realized what she had said, their eyes widened in surprise.

"T-Prince..."

They looked at the Crown Prince. Although they had never seen him before, he exuded nobility and natural majesty, so they believed him.

Furthermore, she also mentioned Princess Anguo. Princess Anguo, isn't that Shangguan Tang's daughter?

A sense of foreboding arose in both of their hearts at the same time.

Sure enough, they saw Princess Anguo walk directly toward the crying baby.

Ying Yufu took out the thick cloak she had prepared earlier and intended to wrap the child in it.

However, just as she reached out to pick up the child, her expression suddenly changed.

"She...she seems to have peed, and...she also pooped."

Ying Yufu was on the verge of tears. "What should we do?"

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince, who had also come over, immediately changed his expression and froze on the spot.

Wushuang glanced at the two women, rolled her eyes speechlessly, and turned to the two nannies fiercely, saying, "You two, change this child's clothes first!"

The two nannies dared not refuse and nodded repeatedly. Under Wushuang's sharp gaze, they did not dare to delay for a moment in changing and cleaning the baby.

"She seems to have a fever," the prince said.

Having been ill for a long time, he became an expert in medicine and immediately noticed that the baby's condition was not right.

Ying Yufu reached out and touched the baby's pulse, her expression turning serious.

Without hesitation, she bought a bottle of Life Essence for 50 points and carefully fed some to the baby.

The baby was too small, so only a little was needed. Ying Yufu's eyes lit up, and she handed the rest to the Crown Prince: "Your Highness, please try this."
