The mother and daughter pair stayed for a few days before returning. Presumably, Han Dongchen had already finished preparing everything.

After Han Dongyue left, Du Muzhou could be considered much more peaceful. Today's weather wasn't bad, so Fourth Madame invited him to the courtyard for a chat.

"Jian Jia, prepare a few of the pills I made two days ago, and also bring some of Bing Xuan's favorite snacks. We'll go to the fourth aunt later." Du Mu Zhou instructed Jian Jia.

"Alright."

Ever since the Fourth Concubine had confessed to Du Mu Zhou, the two had become more and more intimate.

Soon, Du Mu Zhou arrived at Fourth Madame's courtyard.

"I've seen Fourth Mother. Why haven't I seen her before?" Du Mu Zhou bowed.

Fourth Concubine quickly made Du Mu Zhou sit down and told him that Bing Xuan had gone out to play.

Du Mu Zhou nodded.

"Just come, and bring so many things with you. You make it seem like I asked you to come just so you could give me a present." Fourth Concubine rebuked.

Du Muzhou quickly explained that he didn't have a mother and Fourth Mother was willing to help her so that would be her own mother. If he didn't give such a thing to her, who would he give it to?

"Han Dongyue and her daughter have finally left. You've calmed down quite a bit."

Du Mu Zhou nodded. A few days ago, when they were making things difficult for her, Fourth Mother was there as well, and she saw everything clearly.

"I heard that Han Dong Chen is having a birthday banquet and will invite a lot of people." She was not often at home, and she did not know much about these things.

When Fourth Concubine saw Du Muzhou ask about this, she let the maidservant shut the door and told him to do so.

"The Han family is becoming more and more powerful. When it comes to Han Dong Chen, it would seem like they are building up a gang."

Du Mu Zhou knew that this was also the case for the Han Family in his previous life. Due to Du Ruanyu's subsequent relationship, the Han Family's position in the dynasty could be considered one of the top.

"Is the Han Family working for the Second Prince?" Du Mu Zhou asked, puzzled.

Fourth Concubine shook her head. She really didn't know any of this. All she knew was some gossip.

"Although Han family seems to be very good to you and always protected you when you made a mistake in the past, you should know that this kind of person doesn't have a shred of kindness in his heart. Before, I didn't dare to say anything and didn't protect you when you made a mistake, so don't blame Fourth Mother."

Du Mu Zhou held onto Fourth Madame's hand, feeling very touched. Finally, she could find someone she could trust in the Du Residence.

"Fourth Mother, don't say that. I understand that you need to protect yourself. You don't have the protection of your mother's family, so you can only rely on yourself. I understand, I understand."

The Fourth Concubine's heart warmed when she heard this.

The last two talked for a long time, and when it was almost time for lunch, Du Mu Zhou wanted to go back and eat, but Fourth Aunt graciously invited him to stay behind, but Du Bingxuan hadn't come back yet.

"Let's eat here. I'll have someone call Bing Xuan back." Fourth Concubine stopped Du Mu Zhou.

Du Mu Zhou smiled. "I'll go. I'll be back soon."

After Du Mu Zhou finished speaking, he immediately left. Du Bingxuan was playing in the lotus pond of the Du Residence, and Du Mu Zhou had seen her from afar. Just as Du Mu Zhou was about to call Du Bingxuan, a black clothed person suddenly appeared.

Du Mu Zhou was greatly shocked. He thought that the black-clothed person wanted to carry Du Bingxuan away, but he didn't expect that he would knock her unconscious with a single palm strike.

"Stop!" Du Mu Zhou quickly ran over.

The black clothed person did not make much of a move and directly threw Du Bingxuan into the pool.

"Someone come quickly!" Du Mu Zhou's face paled and he quickly called out for his men, but there was no one around the lotus pond.

The man in black quickly escaped.

Du Mu Zhou ran to the side of the pool. Seeing that no one had come yet, he didn't care about the others and directly jumped into the water. The water in the early spring was truly bone-chilling cold.

This was because Du Bingxuan had been knocked unconscious. She didn't even flop before sinking directly into the pool.

Du Mu Zhou immediately dove into the water and hugged Du Bingxuan from behind, then lifted her up.

By the time everyone had arrived, Du Mu Zhou had already rescued Du Bingxuan.

Only, Du Bingxuan's body was weak. She had been soaked in cold water for a while now, and her face was already pale. Her lips were jet-black as she fainted.

Du Mu Zhou was also shivering from the cold.

"Bing Xuan, my daughter! "What's going on?" The Fourth Concubine asked. When she saw her daughter like this, her eyes immediately fell. Du Bingxuan was Fourth Concubine's everything. If something happened to her, how could Fourth Concubine live?

At this point, Han Mo Xiang and the rest were all present. Upon seeing the situation, he asked, "Woodboat, what's going on? The wet nurse said that you pushed Bing Xuan down. "

Du Mu Zhou was startled and still hadn't realized what was going on.

"Who?" Who said that? " Du Mu Zhou sneered. He never thought that he would be wrongly accused again.

"Milkman, come here!" Han Mo Xiang had the nanny who had testified against him come forward.

Du Mu Zhou recognized her. She was Du Bingxuan's wet nurse, but she wasn't at the Lotus Pond at the time. How could she have seen Du Mu Zhou push Du Bingxuan down?

"Lady Han, Fourth Madam, I saw with my own eyes that Eldest Miss told Fourth Miss to go back, but Fourth Miss refused. She even said a few words to offend Eldest Miss before Eldest Miss pushed her down in a fit of anger." The wet nurse lowered her head and sobbed softly.

When everyone heard this, their faces were filled with disbelief. They never thought that Du Muzhou was this kind of person.

However, these words didn't apply to Du Mu Zhou at all.

"You said I pushed it? Would I push it in front of you if I did? Would I jump down and save Bing Xuan? If I really want to harm Bing Xuan, why would I bother doing so? " Her patience was limited. Did these people really force her to become a dead person?

However, the wet nurse was already prepared. She knew that Du Mu Zhou would say this, so she continued: "Eldest Miss's way of doing things is completely different from before. I'm afraid that she can also do things like calling out for a thief!"

"How dare you!" Du Mu Zhou angrily shouted and the wet nurse was so scared that she immediately kneeled down.

"Defamation of the Eldest Miss, do you know what kind of crime it is? After returning to his residence, he felt that there was no end to the charges of slander. Are all of them addicted? "

Du Mu Zhou's gaze viciously swept over the person in front of him. Han Mo Xiang and the rest felt their scalps go numb from this gaze.

"Woodboat, no need to be agitated. If you investigate this injustice, you will know. If you are innocent, I will definitely return your innocence." Han Mo Xiang bent down, intending to help Du Mu Zhou up.

However, as Du Mu Zhou glared at her, Han Mo Xiang actually didn't dare to stretch out her hand.

In Du Mu Zhou's heart, no matter how this kind of person tried to harm her, she didn't care because she could have avoided any danger. But these people actually tried to harm a child that was only a few years old, how could she think of that, if something were to happen to Du Bingxuan because of her, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life!

This was intolerable. It didn't matter if the one behind this was Han Moxiang or not, in Du Muzhou's heart, he had already identified them!
