The attack from the Southern Border people lasted for the better part of an hour. By the time it was nearly the Yin hour, the Wu Family Manor had returned to its usual peace. Servants and maidservants were outside, responsible for handling the corpses and treating the wounded.
Yang Yiyi, after a group of servants rushed over to assist, finally left the eastern wing-room and entered the main hall. Inside the main hall, Wu Shaoyi and her father were already waiting.
"Many thanks to Heroine Yang for your assistance."
Yang Yiyi waved her hand, intending to offer a few polite words, but that intense feeling of numbness seemed to be returning, though it was not as strong as before. Wu Shaoyi noticed this and gestured for Yang Yiyi to sit down.
"Please, have a seat. I've already sent someone to fetch an antidote pill. We can't delay treating the poison on you any longer."
"If not for Heroine Yang's help this time, I'm afraid our Wu Family Manor would have suffered heavy losses. If you have any requests in the future, this old man will certainly repay today's kindness."
