Reborn Lady - Chapter 191
Yin Wen was quickly carried back to Yin Mansion by the guards. Because the sky was dark, it didn’t attract much attention. Occasionally, some people who caught a glimpse of it, only thought it was him being drunk, and unable to walk by himself.
In the mansion, Yin Jingshan and Mrs. Zhao were still waiting for their son to come back to have dinner together.
Uncle De wandered around the front yard with his hands behind his back, not only looking at the servants doing things, but also keeping an eye on the return time of the young master as it was a bit late. When a guard hurried in with Yin Wen on his back, Uncle De noticed the blood on Yin Wenxue’s white trousers.
“What’s going on?” Uncle De inquired, rushing forward.
The guard gasped and explained, “We were attacked on the way back. Wu Shan went to fetch the doctor. I’ll carry the young master back first!”
Uncle De glared at Yin Wen, who had passed out, and then at the guard, angrily questioning, “What were you two doing? Why is the young master the only one injured?”
Although the young master had done wrong things, he remained the eldest grandson of the master. If something happened, how could the master not feel distressed?
The guard lowered his head and explained with shame and confusion, “There were three opponents, two of them were in charge of restraining Wu Shan and me, and the other one was dedicated to dealing with the young master. The other party seemed to be venting his anger, and his companions were afraid that he would hit too hard, so they dragged him away later.”
At that moment, Yin Jingshan and Mrs. Zhao rushed over, and upon seeing the blood on Yin Wen’s body, she cried.
Amidst Mrs. Zhao’s heartfelt sobs, the guard carried Yin Wen back to his room.
As Yin Wen was carefully positioned on his back, and the guard took off his pants, Mrs. Zhao took one look and then fell straight back.
Yin Jingshan also knelt down on the ground with limp legs.
After Uncle De observed the scene, he looked away with impatience.
“Who, who is so cruel, and wants my Yin family to have no sons and grandchildren?!” After the grief, Yin Jingshan’s eyes were stained red with anger, as he gritted his teeth and looked at the guard who brought his son back.
The guard could only describe the figures of the three and had no way of knowing their identities.
Mrs. Zhao gradually regained consciousness, just in time to hear the guard’s words. She climbed to the side of her son’s bed, examining the wound. Her lips trembled as she spoke, “It must have been done by that wretched girl Yin Hui. She is determined to seize control of our family business. Taking advantage of the old man’s absence, she planned this cruel act, intending to make the old man leave all the family property to her puppet, Yin Lang!”
Uncle De frowned and cautioned, “Second Madam, be cautious. If word of this reaches the palace and one is charged with disrespect, the entire Yin family could be imprisoned.”
Despite her son’s uncertain fate, Mrs. Zhao didn’t seem rational. Staring at Uncle De, she began to curse, “You are nothing but a puppet! I know you only have that wretched girl in your heart. Perhaps you were involved in injuring Ah Wen! Come on, arrest this old scoundrel and throw him into prison!”
Servants from the second room rushed in, finding Mrs. Zhao eager to imprison Uncle De. However, none dared to make a move. Even the guards beside Yin Wen firmly stood behind Uncle De.
Ignoring Mrs. Zhao’s outburst, Uncle De turned to Yin Jingshan, stating, “Second Master, it is crucial to attend to the eldest young master now. Let’s discuss the truth when he wakes up. Perhaps he knows who the enemy is.”
Yin Jingshan closed his eyes in pain.

His son’s injury struck him deeply, and the fact that the servants of the Yin family seemed more inclined to follow Uncle De rather than heed their words was an additional blow.
In the old man’s eyes, Yin Jingshan’s greatest value lay in fathering Ah Wen. If Ah Wen were deemed useless, would the old man abandon him like a discarded shoestring?
Feeling perplexed and losing his sense of proportion, Yin Jingshan, in a state of confusion, drove Uncle De out, embracing Mrs. Zhao as he cried bitterly.
The doctor arrived and first examined Yin Wen’s injuries. Yin Wen had two broken ribs, which were not severe and would heal over time. However, the major concern was that Yin Wen was now crippled, with no possibility of recovery.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao fainted again, and Yin Jingshan sat by his son’s bedside in despair.
As the doctor treated Yin Wen’s wounds, he woke up in pain.
“Ah Wen, my Ah Wen!” Mrs. Zhao threw herself onto her son, sobbing bitterly.
The doctor intervened, pulling her away and reminding her of Yin Wen’s broken ribs. Mrs. Zhao stood there crying, her heart nearly breaking.
Yin Wen took a deep breath and asked the doctor about his injuries.
Initially hesitant, the doctor, urged by Yin Wen’s intense gaze, eventually revealed the painful truth.
Yin Wen clenched his fists violently, his eyes seething with hatred.
Yin Jingshan asked the doctor to leave and, with swollen eyes, questioned his son, “Do you know who it is? Should we report it to the Yamen?”
Faced with his parents’ distressed and worried expressions, Yin Wen closed his eyes.
He knew who the assailant was. With such a figure and such means, and it was the time when Liao Qiuniang was about to get married. The other party picked the time to strike, just to let him know his identity.
However, Yin Wen lacked evidence to identify the culprit. Without proof, reporting to the authorities would be futile. Reporting to officials in Pingcheng would be ineffective, as Feng Su and his son belonged to King Yan. Everything in Pingcheng was influenced by King Yan, who would undoubtedly protect the Feng family and his son.
“No, nothing happened today; don’t let a word spread.”
After regaining composure, Yin Wen shared his decision with his parents.
Mrs. Zhao asked, “How can you just let it go, you…”
“Get out,” Yin Wen, lacking patience for her cries, reprimanded her coldly.
Mrs. Zhao was so shocked that she forgot to cry.
Yin Wen regarded his father with cold eyes, saying, “You go too; I want to be alone.”
In the presence of such a son, Yin Jingshan couldn’t muster the fatherly authority he should have, so they both left.
Alone, Yin Wen called the boy next to him and instructed him to inquire about Wang Yunshi.
Before darkness fully descended, the boy rushed out and returned with news. He informed Yin Wen that Wang Yunshi’s right leg was broken when he encountered a thief while playing outside, leaving him crippled.
If Yin Wen was eighty certain about the murderer’s identity before, he now stood at ninety percent certainty that the culprit was Feng Teng.
