News of the incident at the villa quickly reached Xiao Shen. That very night, he galloped there on his horse.
Ji Xiaosong hadn't yet retired for the night and was still mulling over the evening's events.
The Second Prince's sudden attack had obviously been aimed at her.
It didn't take much thought to realize it was because she had given birth.
Xiao Shen had assigned her more guards than before; it seemed he had anticipated this all along.
"My wife, are you unharmed?"
The moment he dismounted, Xiao Shen rushed into Ji Xiaosong's courtyard.
Heaven only knew how anxious he had been when his subordinates came to report what had happened.
Thankfully, he had prepared in advance. If something had truly happened, he couldn't imagine what he would do.
"I'm fine. You arranged for so many guards ahead of time. They're incredibly capable; the Second Prince's men didn't succeed."
Ji Xiaosong rose to her feet, slowly approached Xiao Shen, and then gently wrapped her arms around him.
