Chapter 390 - 247: Telling You the Answer With My Lifetime
After a restless night filled with thoughts, it was almost dawn when she finally fell asleep.
Early in the morning, just after finishing breakfast, she heard Wan Lu rush in, "Wife, this morning I overheard Ah Lang say that Assistant Minister Xiao was injured last night while capturing a criminal."
Ran Yan paused and immediately asked, "How serious are the injuries?"
Wan Lu shook her head, "The Slave does not know, nor did I dare ask Ah Lang."
Ran Yan went into the inner room to grab the medical box and then said, "Follow me."
After instructing Ge Lan to inform Ran Pingyu, Ran Yan led Wan Lu in a hurry to Xiao Song’s residence. The carriage had just left the house when a Secret Guard hurried up to them, saying that Ran Pingyu had ordered to accompany them for protection.
There were very few pedestrians on the streets of the square early in the morning, and the carriage moved twice as fast as usual until they left Anshan Square. Unless there was a critically ill person in urgent need of medical attention or someone rushing to a funeral, racing through the streets could result in a beating if caught.
Ran Yan sat steadily inside the carriage, her back straight, showing no particular expression on her face. However, Wan Lu could discern a hint of something from her tightly clenched fists.
Upon reaching the Xiao residence, the gatekeeper saw Ran Yan hurrying early in the morning, but it wasn’t his place to pry, so he politely bowed and said, "Mrs. Ran comes early today. The Master hasn’t gone to the Government Office and is currently in the study."
Ran Yan paused, turned to him and asked, "Isn’t he injured?"
"Replying to Mrs. Ran, he is injured, but his life is not in danger," the doorman replied.
