Chapter 1274: Chapter 1276: I’ll Help You Fight the Bad Guys_1
"What happened?" As soon as Yang Chuxia heard that Ye Zi’an was injured, her heart skipped a beat.
"Madam, the young master has an arrow wound on his shoulder," Ye Yi reported the important details.
Hearing that it was a wound on the shoulder, Yang Chuxia felt slightly relieved and quickly followed Ye Yi to the front courtyard. At that time, Ye San had already brought a doctor from the city.
"Brother An, how are you?"
Lying on the bed, Ye Zi’an’s face turned pale. Seeing Yang Chuxia, he forced a faint smile, "Xiaxia, I’m fine, just a minor injury."
Seeing his condition, Yang Chuxia’s eyes reddened, "Stop talking now. Doctor, how is my husband’s injury?"
"Madam, rest assured, the arrow has been removed. He will recover after some time, but he has lost a lot of blood and needs nourishment." The old doctor had many years of experience and had treated numerous arrow wounds, so he was quite adept at this.
After the doctor treated Ye Zi’an’s wound and prescribed some medicine, Yang Chuxia didn’t let the doctor leave. Instead, she had him stay at the residence until Ye Zi’an’s wound was mostly healed before letting him return.
The doctor had no objections to staying.
Only after Ye Zi’an took his medicine and fell asleep did Yang Chuxia come out to inquire about what happened.
"Madam, Peng Lide wanted to capture the young master because of those account books, but then another group appeared, also seemingly intent on capturing the young master. The arrows that hit the young master were from that group," said Ye Yi.
"Not the men in black again!"
To Yang Chuxia, these black-clothed men were utterly despicable. Back in Yangshu Village, those from the Li Family had worn black clothing too.
These black-clothed men seemed to be like relentless ghosts, appearing out of nowhere at any time, and she still had no idea who on earth these people were.
"Madam, could it be the same group that was involved with the man who committed suicide last time?"
After a moment’s thought, Yang Chuxia said, "It’s possible. The man from last time was associated with the one who impersonated Shen Qiu in Yangshu Village years ago. It’s likely the same this time."
Recalling the last letter from Old Mu, she knew these people came from Capital City and were after several types of crossbows, though it was unclear exactly which family they were from. What was certain, however, was that they were from one of the families involved in the struggle for imperial power.
Old Mu had pointed out that these people seemed to know that these items did not belong to the Yang Family but to the Ye Family, which is why they came to Mianyang.
"Madam, what should we do now?" asked Ye Er.
"It looks like this group is already lurking in Mianyang. Since that’s the case, issue an order for a search. The County Magistrate being injured provides a good pretext for a search. During the search, pay attention to the back of the ears, arms, and other areas for the mark that’s on the badge," instructed Yang Chuxia.
"Understood, we will take care of it." After speaking, Ye Er left. Ye Wu returned at dawn, fortunately without any injuries.

"Why hasn’t daddy woken up yet?"
"Shh, don’t talk!"
"Daddy’s sleeping."
"Daddy’s hurt."
The two little children whispered back and forth to each other in hushed tones.
"Daddy’s bleeding." This was Lele’s voice.
Ye Zi’an woke up from his sleep and saw two little heads staring at him intently from beside the bed.
Seeing him awake, they hurriedly called out, "Daddy!"
"Daddy, does it hurt?" Little Yangyang, seeing his shoulder wrapped in a white cloth, stretched out a small hand, then drew it back before saying, "Daddy, I’ll help you fight the bad guys!"
"How do you know there are bad guys?" Ye Zi’an smiled gently.
"Because daddy’s hurt." In his mind, anyone who hurt his daddy was a bad guy.
"Alright, then I’ll wait for Yangyang to grow up and help me fight the bad guys," he said.
Yang Chuxia came in carrying a food box and knew Ye Zi’an was awake from the sounds inside.
