I've Got This Cannon Fodder Trope Covered!

Chapter 130

Wei Heng personally witnessed his two daughters in danger—one with her face covered in blood, the other unconscious. Even with his usual composure, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of panic and unease in that moment.

However, since his daughter was now practically half a member of the imperial family, she was directly taken away by the Crown Prince. Faced with Xiao Junzhan's imposing presence at the time, even Wei Heng, as her father, didn't dare to interfere.

When Wei Heng returned to the residence, Madam Jiang had already received the news and was waiting for him at the door.

The couple's recent interactions had been somewhat awkward, but Madam Jiang didn't care about that now. Seeing him return, she hurried forward and asked anxiously, "How is Ranran? Is she hurt?"

"I was standing at a distance, but from what I saw, Ranran was well protected and unharmed," Wei Heng replied seriously, steadying her arm. "However, Seventh Daughter seemed to have fainted."

Every parent has their own priorities. Upon hearing that her youngest daughter was unharmed, Madam Jiang let out a huge sigh of relief, completely tuning out the rest of her husband's words.

Leaning on Zhou Momo's arm, she sat down in a chair but still felt unsettled. Turning to Wei Heng, she asked again, "Are you sure? Ranran is truly unhurt?"

Wei Heng patiently reassured her again and added, "If you're worried, you can go to Qixiang Palace tomorrow morning to check on Ranran yourself."

Just as Madam Jiang was about to respond, a servant dressed as a palace attendant hurried inside. After bowing respectfully, he said, "Greetings to the Duke and Madam."

A visitor from the palace made Madam Jiang suppress her worry for the moment. She asked, "What brings you here? Is it about my daughter...?"

"Miss Wei was startled but thankfully unharmed. His Highness specifically sent me to inform you so you wouldn't worry," the attendant said respectfully. "The Seventh Miss from your household is also fine."

Hearing this, Madam Jiang finally felt completely at ease. She clasped her hands together and whispered a prayer of thanks to Buddha.

After sending the messenger away, Madam Jiang couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude toward the Crown Prince for being so considerate as to inform them of such details.

When Wei Hanzhang woke up, daylight was already streaming through the windows. She sat up, recalling the events before she fell asleep the previous night.

She wondered when he had left.

Lu Zhu and Lu Lan, hearing the sounds of movement, entered to help her wash up.

"Miss," Lu Zhu said softly, "this morning several noble ladies have sent in their calling cards, saying they wish to visit you. They're currently waiting in the inner hall."

"What?" Wei Hanzhang was momentarily stunned but quickly realized the situation. "Why didn't you wake me up earlier? People might think I'm intentionally keeping them waiting."

Lu Zhu chuckled and replied, "His Highness specifically instructed Eunuch Ning to tell us that no one is to disturb your rest, no matter who arrives."

"..." Wei Hanzhang was speechless for a moment before saying, "Hurry, I can't keep them waiting too long."

However, her heart couldn't help but bubble with sweetness. As expected, an older man truly knows how to show care.

"There's no rush. Our Madam is here too," Lu Lan said while painting flowers on her mistress's forehead. "She's entertaining the guests in the inner hall, so you can take your time."
