"Master Ye and I thought the same thing, so we have been looking for the Jiang family to see if they have had any grudges with anyone these days. But after searching for a long time, we found no clues. The Jiang family treats people kindly and gets along well with their neighbors. According to the neighbors, it is impossible for such a good family to have any enemies.

Even if Jiang Chongyi was looked down upon by the Queen and others because of her background, she shouldn't have implicated her family. This is really confusing. "Xiao Zhan said, this is why the case has been stuck for the past two days.

"Maybe this isn't a revenge killing?" Jiang Xue pointed to the description of the Jiang family's injuries in the file: "Look, judging from their wounds, they were all killed with one blow, without leaving any signs of struggle. If it was a revenge killing, with such a big grudge, they would definitely use more cruel methods to make them live a life worse than death before ending their lives."

"If it wasn't a vendetta, then why did they want to wipe out the entire Jiang family?"

The mystery here gets deeper and deeper.

"Does His Royal Highness Prince An know about this matter?"

After all, they are Xiao Yun's mother's family. When such a big thing happens, he must be notified.

"I've been so busy investigating the case these days that I've completely forgotten about Kankan and Mo."

After Jiang Xue mentioned this, Xiao Zhan remembered that he had indeed ignored the situation on Xiao Yun's side from the time the incident happened until now.

He had just lost his mother. If he heard that something happened to the Jiang family, it would be such a huge blow that he was afraid he wouldn't be able to bear it.

"We have to go to Prince An's Mansion to see him."

Xiao Zhan felt very upset and thought that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a brother. After this incident, he should have visited his brother as soon as possible.

"I'll go with you." Jiang Xue said, and the two of them went out together.

When we arrived at the gate of Prince An's Mansion, we found it unusually deserted.

Apart from the two guards standing at the door, the gate was closed tightly, and there was no trace of the usual bustling scene.

"Your Highness Prince Gong, Madam Princess Gong."

When the two guards saw them, they bowed their heads respectfully.

Xiao Zhan waved his hand to let them stand up: "How is your prince doing recently?"

"This..." The two guards looked at each other and seemed to be in a dilemma: "Your Highness, you should go in and take a look yourself."

After saying that, they opened the door and invited Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan into the house.

"This……"

As soon as he entered the door, the weeds in the yard were very tall, and most of the servants were gone. The housekeeper was sweeping the floor with a broom, and he looked up at Xiao Yun's room from time to time and sighed. When he saw Xiao Zhan and his wife coming in, he greeted them as if he saw hope.

"Your Highness, Princess Consort, we have finally met you. Please ask Your Highness Prince Gong and Princess Consort to persuade our Prince! Our Prince has not eaten a single grain of rice for several days. If this continues, his health will collapse."

The housekeeper knelt in front of them, begged them, and told them about Xiao Yun's recent situation.

It turned out that Xiao Yun knew the news on the day the Jiang family had an accident. That night he rushed to the Jiang family like a madman to save people, but unfortunately he was too late.

When he arrived, the Jiang family members had already fallen in a pool of blood, with no one left alive.

When the housekeeper saw Xiao Yun coming back covered in blood, he was so scared that he almost fainted. He quickly gave him a bath and changed his clothes, fearing that he would get into trouble. He also buried the bloody clothes in the backyard.

Then Xiao Yun dismissed half of the servants with a dull look, saying that he was afraid that they would be implicated by him, so he tore up the contract and gave each of them a sum of money to settle down. After that, he locked himself in the room, refusing to eat or drink, until now.

The housekeeper saw it and was anxious, but no matter how many times he tried to persuade her, it was of no use.

He had originally planned to go to Prince Gong's mansion to ask Prince Gong for help, but Prince Gong found out and threatened him with suicide, refusing to let him leave the house no matter what.

"Your Highness Prince Gong, I watched my prince grow up. Seeing him like this, I feel so distressed!"

The steward's eyes were moist, and it was obvious that he was truly worried about Xiao Yun.

"Butler, you get up first. Yu Mo is my brother. How can I ignore him?"

Xiao Zhan helped the steward up, and then walked towards Xiao Yun's room with Jiang Xue.

I knocked on the door, but there was no movement from inside.

Xiao Zhan didn't care about the rules and kicked the door open. A strange smell came from the room, like the smell of rotten food, and both of them frowned.

"With Mo."

The two of them walked in, enduring the stench. Looking to the right, they saw Xiao Yun curled up on the ground with his back against the bed.

He was pale and skinny, and the food on the table was rotten, and the smell came from there.

His eyes were staring blankly ahead, no one knew what he was looking at. Even when the door was kicked open, he did not react at all, and remained in the position of hugging his knees with his hands.

Until Xiao Zhan walked over, patted his shoulder gently, and said, "Yu Mo, the fourth brother is here."

It was as if a switch was pressed. Xiao Yun's body trembled, and his eyes slowly turned to Xiao Zhan. He grabbed his sleeves tightly with both hands, called out "Fourth Brother" hoarsely, and then burst into tears like a child.

"how is he?"

Xiao Yun cried for a long time and his voice became hoarse.

In the end, it was Jiang Xue who pricked his sleep point with a needle, which made him calm down and fall into a deep sleep.

While Xiao Yun was sleeping soundly, Jiang Xue carefully examined his body, which took a long time to complete.

Seeing that she didn't look well, Xiao Zhan asked about Xiao Yun's condition with some concern.

"He's in a very bad condition." Jiang Xue shook her head. "He hasn't eaten for several days and is very weak. In addition, his mother's family was wiped out, which was a huge blow to him. Now his mental state is very unstable. It may not be easy for him to recover to his previous state."

Think about the cheerful and lively Xiao Yun in the past, and then look at the zombie-like him now. The contrast between the two is too great.

Jiang Xue felt a little sad. Why was fate so unfair to such a good person?

"Butler, follow this prescription to get the medicine for His Royal Highness Prince An, and boil it twice a day. Also, ask the kitchen to prepare some light porridge and side dishes, and use less oil and salt."

After arranging all this, Jiang Xue took out the golden needles and began to regulate Xiao Yun's body. He had to adjust his internal organs first, otherwise his stomach might not be able to handle the sudden food intake after not having eaten for a few days.

"Qing Feng, clean up all this mess and find two people to clean the yard."

Jiang Xue was busy taking care of Xiao Yun, and Xiao Zhan was not idle either. He directed people to clean Prince An's Mansion inside and out, and also transferred some people from Prince Gong's Mansion to take care of Xiao Yun.

"Fourth sister-in-law..."

When Xiao Yun opened his eyes, the room was already tidy. The aroma of porridge wafted over, and his stomach growled.

"It seems that there is nothing wrong with your stomach." Hearing the sound of her stomach, Jiang Xue breathed a sigh of relief and took the golden needle out of the acupuncture point.
