The Noble Consort is the most favored in the harem

Chapter 119 - Severely Injured and Leaving Home

Face-saving issues cannot be ignored.

In the eastern courtyard, there wasn't a single servant inside.

Since entering the courtyard, Eldest Master Dong's expression had grown increasingly grim.

Yet, without seeing anyone, he couldn't say anything.

When he pushed the door open and saw Master Lin and his sister, his voice trembled slightly.

"What happened? How did you get so badly hurt?!"

"Brother, you've finally come. Quick, quick, take a look at my third son. The imperial physician said there's nothing more to be done."

Madam Dong cried sorrowfully as she spoke.

Master Lin could only stand beside her, comforting her. There wasn't much else he could do.

Eldest Master Dong's second brother and his wife remained silent.

They immediately stepped forward to examine Lin Muzhi's injuries.

His body didn't seem to have sustained serious injuries; just a few scrapes and bruises that would heal with a few days of ointment.

The danger lay in the back of his head.

Dong Momo had positioned him on his side, with a pillow propped behind his back, to prevent further irritation to the head wound.

The wound had already been carefully cleaned, making it quite visible.

Although it was no longer bleeding much, a large swelling had formed.

It looked frightening.

"Was it done with a wooden board?"

Madam Yun, the second madam of the Dong family, asked seriously.

Dong Momo immediately nodded and replied.

"Yes, it was Wang Momo from the second madam's side of the western wing who did it. She originally aimed for the first madam, but Third Young Master rushed forward to shield her and took the blow himself!"

"You've only just returned! Why did she try to hit you?!"

Eldest Master Dong wasn't skilled in treating injuries, so what concerned him more was why the second branch of the family dared to bully others so arrogantly!

"She accused my son of stealing her son's brush and wanted to impose family punishment. I couldn't accept that, so I stepped forward to argue with her. During the quarrel, we started fighting," Madam Dong briefly explained the situation.

Eldest Master Dong was still confused and was about to ask more questions when Master Lin spoke up.

"Brother-in-law, we've already decided to separate from the family, and Father has agreed. So, we'll be moving out of the Prime Minister's Residence in the next couple of days. However, we don't know much about rental properties outside, so we'd appreciate your help in finding something suitable."

"Separate the family?"

Master Lin's words shocked Eldest Master Dong.

Although they had been eager for their sister and brother-in-law's family to separate and live on their own, they thought this would be impossible while their father was still alive.

That was why they had repeatedly helped them, hoping they could live better within the Prime Minister's Residence.

Hearing this, Madam Dong wiped the tears from her eyes.

Her eyes were now swollen, and her nose red from crying, but she looked more at ease than usual.

"What my husband says is true. You have many connections, so please help us find a suitable courtyard. If there's one available, we'll move immediately."
