Yesterday, Chang Lian came back and fooled his wife, but today he could no longer hide the assassination attempt. He gestured for his wife to sit down, "Don't get agitated in a moment."
Lady Dong's heart skipped a beat. Last night, the clothes Chang Lian wore were not his own, and if he had not been with Rongchuan, she would have worried for nothing. Now, seeing her husband's grim expression, she felt something was wrong and her tone was somewhat tense, "Go ahead."
Chang Lian narrated the assassination attempt from the day before, his eyes fixed on his wife the entire time.
Lady Dong sat motionless, eyes widening as if she was about to faint. After a moment, she got up and clutched her husband, "Let me see if you're hurt."
Chang Lian wrapped his arms around his wife, feeling her hands tremble, now even more violently—she was afraid. To soothe her, he said, "I'm fine, both Rongchuan and I are alright, don't be scared."
