Chapter 910: Chapter 911: How did you suddenly appear?

On the other side, Meng Lanqing brought Meng Zhuqing back to General Meng’s residence and immediately called out for Gong Juechen, hoping he could save Meng Zhuqing’s life.

Fortunately, Gong Juechen had not wandered off and was at the General’s residence. Upon hearing Meng Lanqing’s call, he came over, puzzled, and then he found that Meng Lanqing was carrying someone who had been badly slashed by a knife, and that person was Meng Zhuqing, whom he had not seen for over three months.

Initially, Gong Juechen wanted to crack a joke and ask Meng Lanqing why the racket, but upon seeing that Meng Zhuqing was in a state close to death, he immediately stopped joking and began to treat Meng Zhuqing with utmost seriousness.

When Tobanya arrived on horseback at General Meng’s residence, the young servant guarding the door did not let her in. Tobanya thought about forcing her way in but felt it was inappropriate; and climbing over the wall in broad daylight would easily expose her to the guards of General Meng’s residence, who might treat her as an assassin and attack her. In the end, she could only tell the doorkeeper to convey a message to Meng Lanqing that someone named Wild Goose Jade was seeking an audience.

Now that she had only handed over the evidence to Xiao Changyi, she was still a wanted criminal and thought it better not to use her real name.

After the young servant reported back, he let Tobanya enter.

A maidservant led Tobanya, saying she was taking her to see the eldest young master, who was outside the second young master’s room at the moment.

Gong Juechen was in Meng Zhuqing’s room treating him. Meng Lanqing, Old Lady Meng, and the rest were anxiously waiting outside. Upon seeing Meng Lanqing, Tobanya asked, "How is Vice General Meng?"

Meng Lanqing shook his head, "I don’t know." He paused, "Gong Juechen said he would do his best to save him."

However, Tobanya was not comforted at all and was very worried. Despite her inner anxiety, she didn’t let it show on her face. But because she had cried on the way there, her beautiful eyes were a bit red. Right now, her slightly reddened eyes were fixed intently on that closed door.

Old Lady Meng, too anxious about the wellbeing of her second son, did not even notice Tobanya.

It was Gong Juese who noticed her, walking over with her big belly, and curiously asked Tobanya, "Sister Wild Goose Jade, how come you’ve suddenly shown up?"

Tobanya did not answer but maintained her aloof demeanor, her beautiful eyes still on the tightly closed door.

Gong Juese looked in the direction Tobanya was staring and frowned slightly. Nevertheless, she continued, "My brother would be overjoyed to know you’ve shown up again."

Tobanya continued to ignore Gong Juese.

Gong Juese felt bored and decided not to force her friendly intentions on Tobanya’s indifference.

Still, she noted, the woman was indeed beautiful.

Before Gong Juechen could come out, Meng Lanqing was approached by a guard from the Imperial Palace.

The guard told him, "General Meng, Prince Yi commands that if you have found Vice General Meng, take care of the ’booty’ at your family’s doorway, which includes a few that are still alive. Additionally, Prince Yi wants you to bring the daughter of the King of Beicheng—Princess Yao—to the palace early tomorrow morning."

Meng Lanqing also knew the ’dirty’ objects at his family’s door needed to be dealt with, especially now that his lord had issued the command; he could not refuse. So, he took his men to dispose of the ’booty.’

But before he left to deal with the ’booty,’ he told Tobanya to stay at General Meng’s residence that night, as he would take her to the palace tomorrow.

Upon hearing that Meng Lanqing would take her to the palace the next day, Tobanya knew her great revenge might be attained and her father’s wrongful death avenged. She felt immensely happy inside.
