The murderer of the three people who died has been found. Although only Liang Feiying and An Zhangzhu are left as the culprits, the matter is not over yet. The remaining task is to hand them over to the Dali Temple for processing.

Meanwhile, Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince visited the injured one by one, asking about their injuries with concern and offering them encouragement and comfort. Surprisingly, however, when Her Royal Highness carefully examined the wounds of the injured, she discovered that only six of them had suffered minor injuries from running, such as minor scrapes, falls, and sprains.

Even more astonishing was that the remaining nineteen individuals each had their own unique "drama." This left the onlookers stunned, with some secretly sighing, "What a brilliant farce!" The spectators expressed their love for it, calling it the drama of the year.

The causes of these injuries varied, but most were caused by arguments between sisters or close friends. One particularly striking scene involved two girls arguing fiercely over a beautiful dress. In their heated debate, they began pushing each other, ultimately falling to the ground and one of them spraining her ankle. Another example involved two close friends, jealous of each other's beauty, whose verbal conflict escalated into a violent brawl, resulting in injuries to both. Furthermore, some disagreements escalated into physical altercations due to a refusal to yield.

The three seriously injured, in particular, suffered similar injuries to the Liang sisters, almost all stemming from intensified conflicts. Tang Tian and the others were among them, which explains why no one dared to challenge Tang Wenshu's earlier questioning; it turned out they weren't there. Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness sighed inwardly, wondering why these women were so impulsive and couldn't resolve the issue peacefully. The wolf pack's sudden attack hadn't injured them, but rather, it had resulted from a fight among their own people.

Tang Wenshu couldn't help but sigh, "In just one day of boating on the lake, I've seen more dramas and eaten more melons than I have in the past twenty years combined!"

It was already five in the morning, and the sky was still pitch black. The crowd around them began to stir. Some stretched, signaling they needed to go back for a nap; others excitedly declared that daybreak was almost here, and they would return home as soon as the city gates opened to comfort their wounded hearts.

Tang Wenshu naturally fell into the former category. She yawned lazily, thinking that she could finally go back to sleep. As for His Royal Highness, if she wasn't in a hurry to leave, then she didn't need to rush either. After all, she had already requested leave for him, so there was no need to worry about being blamed.

She slept so soundly that she didn't wake up until 1:30 PM. Tang Wenshu rubbed her eyes, her stomach growling with hunger. She even thought that even a bowl of coarse rice in front of her would have an alluring aroma.

Just as she was lost in her hunger fantasy, she suddenly spotted a figure sitting at the head of the bed, frightening her so much that she almost jumped out of bed. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be her eldest brother, Tang Qi! He sat there quietly, his upright figure making Tang Wenshu feel a little uneasy.

"Big, big brother..." Tang Wenshu looked at Tang Qi pitifully, his voice carrying a hint of grievance: "I'm hungry."

She almost blurted out "I was wrong," but swallowed the words back. After all, she felt she had done nothing wrong! It was clearly His Royal Highness who invited her out for a boat trip, so who could have known so many things would happen? This wasn't her fault, so why should she feel guilty?

Tang Qi said nothing. He simply picked up a spoonful of porridge, carefully blew it cool, and then fed it to Tang Wenshu, who was sitting on the bed. His movements were gentle and delicate, as if he was protecting the most precious treasure.

However, for Tang Wenshu, this kind of child-like treatment did not make her feel warm and at ease. Instead, she felt a little uneasy, wondering what was wrong with her brother. Was he angry? Or did he have other ideas?

She stole a glance at Tang Qi, trying to find some clues from his expression, but Tang Qi remained silent, making it impossible to fathom his thoughts. Tang Wenshu grew increasingly uneasy.

It was not until he finished a bowl of porridge that Tang Qi finally spoke: "I don't blame you." He thought to himself, if he had to blame anyone, it was only himself who did not have enough ability to protect Shushu, which caused her to fall into danger again and again.

After watching Tang Wenshu finish his meal, Tang Qi asked again, "Are you still hungry? Do you want some more?"

Tang Wenshu quickly waved her hand and refused, "No, thank you, big brother." Although the bowl of porridge she had just eaten tasted good, she would rather go hungry than be fed like this.

After dinner, Tang Wenshu was taken away from the villa by Tang Qi and returned to the Duke's Mansion. They didn't even get to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the originally planned three-day lake cruise was forced to end prematurely.

Tang Wenshu had just returned home, barely catching her breath when she was surrounded by her mother, Zeng Yuan, and her second brother, Tang Zhengrong. Confusion and worry filled their faces, especially Zeng Yuan, who stared at her and asked gently, "You've been through so much, you must have suffered so much." Tang Zhengrong, on the other hand, grinned, "Hey, sister, tell us what interesting things you've experienced these past two days!"

Tang Wenshu sighed helplessly, and at his mother's request, he stepped over the brazier and sprinkled mugwort water before entering the house.

She thought to herself: These guys are really ridiculous. But since she was already back, she might as well tell them what had happened over the past two days. So, she briefly described her trip to Jinghu Lake, including the people and events she encountered, as well as the wolf pack's surprise attack on the villa. Of course, she also mentioned Li Niang in particular, expressing her admiration for her character and her hope to become a responsible and courageous person like her.

After listening to Tang Wenshu's story, Zeng Yuan and Tang Zhengrong were silent for a moment. Zeng Yuan gently stroked Tang Wenshu's hair, tears glistening in her eyes. She said, "My Shu'er has grown up and knows what is right and wrong. I'm so relieved." Tang Zhengrong patted Tang Wenshu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Sister, you're amazing! I want to learn from you and become a person with a sense of justice."

Tang Wenshu felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She knew how important family support and understanding were. Although life may not always be satisfactory, as long as family is there, everything will become better. At this moment, she felt extremely happy because she had a warm family and a group of relatives who cared about her and loved her.
