Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: End less Fantasy Translation

After pulling the person out of the water, the eldest brother of the Zhang family immediately took off his robe and wrapped Zhang Miaozhen in it. With a pale face, he asked the guards who had followed him, “Did you catch the assailant?”

“No! They were like fish, all scattered away!”

“Young Master, not a single one was caught, they all escaped!”

“Report to His Royal Highness, the assassin emerged from the water, targeting Miss Zhang, the youngest of the Zhang family!”

At this point, who could fail to understand what was happening before their eyes?

The assassin targeted Zhang Miaozhen, dragged her into the water, stripped her clothes, but didn’t take her away. Wasn’t the purpose obvious?

The sole purpose was to ruin her reputation!

After pulling Zhang Miaozhen out of the water, she had only a pair of underpants and a bra on her. It was all exposed to so many people!

She had been crying all along.

Liu Shimei quickly walked over, leading her dog, and asked with a solemn expression, “Is Miaozhen alright? Let me check her pulse.”

In broad daylight, she had warned Zhang Miaozhen to be careful, and Zhang Miaozhen herself knew to be cautious.

But unexpected things could still happen despite all precautions!

In front of everyone, Zhang Miaozhen’s innocence was no longer guaranteed.

She was the candidate for the Crown Prince’s Consort!

Now, she might be dismissed from that position.

It’s not just the dismissal; more frighteningly, seeking a good marriage in the future would become a problem for her!

The eldest son of the Zhang family had also witnessed Liu Shimei coming to their house to treat the old lady. Upon seeing the situation, he pulled Zhang Miaozhen’s hand out.

Liu Shimei examined her pulse.

After a while, she said, “Fortunately, she’s just a bit unstable due to the shock. Luckily, it’s midsummer, and falling into the water didn’t harm her physically. Continue taking the medicine I prescribed before, and her body should recover.”

However, the illness rooted from last year’s drowning could be healed, but the purity lost this year couldn’t be regained!

In this situation, there was no one to hold accountable!

With the support of the Yulin Guard, Huangfu He also approached, saying sternly, “Encountering an assassin at the Qingjiu Terrace, this matter will be thoroughly investigated by the palace! Young Master Zhang, please take Miss Zhang back to your residence for now.”

“Yes, Your Highness. We take our leave!”

The faces of the Zhang family members were grim. The eldest son looked at Liu Shimei and said, “Many thanks, Eldest Miss Liu. We will come to express our gratitude another day. Farewell!”

After they left, silence filled the scene.

Liu Shimei’s gaze swept the crowd, searching for Miao Linglong’s whereabouts but found that she wasn’t there!

She believed that Miao Linglong was likely behind this incident. Nevertheless, she had to admit that this tactic was exceptionally clever.

With the Crown Prince present, everyone’s safety was guaranteed.

Therefore, the assassin emerged from the water, a move nearly impossible to guard against.

Moreover, these were highly skilled aquatic assassins. They not only pulled Zhang Miaozhen into the water, undressed her, but also disappeared in the river without a trace. Even the Yulin Guard couldn’t find anyone involved in the confrontation!

Kidnapping might be challenging for them, but escaping was effortless after executing this plan.

While Zhang Miaozhen’s innocence was tarnished, there was no evidence at the scene, and no captured assailant. Even if someone suspected Miao Linglong, they couldn’t take any action against her!

Clearly, the only options left for the future Crown Princess were Liu Yan’er and Miao Linglong.

Miao Linglong was ruthless, and Liu Yan’er could only be cautious. From today onward, she must avoid going out to escape the looming danger.

Liu Shimei understood that when she returned, Liu Fuyun would surely question her again!

Naturally, the river lanterns couldn’t be released anymore, leaving Huangfu Lingyao in a state of frustration.

On the way back, he continued to grumble, “Wife made such beautiful lanterns, damn it! What a scoundrel! Truly a scoundrel!”
