When Ye Jinse and Song Lanyue arrived, Xie Changci was resting with his eyes closed, and Zhu Yunqing was sleeping beside him. Oh no, to be more precise, he was unconscious beside him.

Song Lanyue pointed at Zhu Yunqing, but then said, "Big Brother, is Fourth Brother okay?"

"It's okay, I just knocked you out. You'll wake up soon." Xie Changci said lightly, as if he was talking about a very small matter.

As soon as he finished saying this, Zhu Yunqing woke up.

"Big Brother, why did you knock me out?" Zhu Yunqing said angrily, his eyes full of hostility.

"If I don't knock you out, I think you'll go crazy with anger." Xie Changci said with a stern face. This was the first time he was so angry in front of so many people.

"Fourth senior brother, calm down. Madam Zhu will be fine." Song Lanyue comforted.

"How do you ask me to calm down!"

Zhu Yunqing yelled at Song Lanyue, with a hint of scarlet at the corners of his eyes.

Ye Jinse immediately protected Song Lanyue behind him and said, "Why are you yelling? Junior sister will be worried about you when she heard the news." Ye Jinse would not tolerate him.

Zhu Yunqing then realized what he had said and was suddenly at a loss.

"I'm fine. Fourth brother, let's hurry up and get to the Zhu Mansion first. Madam Zhu will be fine." Song Lanyue smiled lightly and did not take Zhu Yunqing's attitude to heart.

Zhu Yunqing just sighed and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Song Lanyue only remembered that in the original book, Madam Zhu did not die of illness, but was killed by Fourth Senior Brother, who destroyed the entire Zhu Mansion alone. She vaguely guessed that this might be the reason for her return this time?

Along the way, Song Lanyue was worried.

Afraid that Zhu Yunqing would do something extreme.

*

Two days later, the four of them finally arrived at Zhu Mansion after flying on swords day and night.

As soon as Zhu Yunqing came back, a maidservant from Madam Zhu was waiting for him at the door. When she saw him, she hurried forward and said, "Young Master, you are finally back. Madam has been thinking about you these days."

"How is he, mother?"

Zhu Yunqing walked towards the courtyard where Madam Zhu lived.

"Madam, Madam..." The maid started crying halfway through her speech and couldn't say the rest of the words.

After hearing this, the people following Zhu Yunqing immediately understood that it was probably a dangerous situation.

When they arrived at the bedroom door, Song Lanyue and the other two stopped. "Fourth Senior Brother, we'll wait for you outside." After all, not too many people should go in to visit a patient. They outside the door could probably tell what was happening inside.

If the Zhu family dared to bully Fourth Senior Brother again, she would rush in immediately.

Zhu Yunqing nodded. At this moment, his eyes were a little empty and he looked very bad.

When he went in, Zhu Yunqi was in the room with Mrs. Zhu.

"Yunqing, you are finally back. Mother has been thinking about you coming back. Please stay at home for a while after you come back this time."

Zhu Yunqing didn't say anything, but walked straight to Mrs. Zhu's bedside to take her pulse.

"Father has also found many alchemists to look after mother. She can only take care of her body and maybe she can live longer. It would be better for you to stay at home and accompany her." Zhu Yunqi continued.

"That's what my brother said."

Zhu Yunqing suddenly spoke, and Zhu Yunqi seemed to have expected that he would agree to stay, and his tone became gentler: "Then you stay with your mother and talk first, I won't disturb you."

Zhu Yunqi left the room with satisfaction, but he didn't expect to meet Song Lanyue and others here, and his expression immediately turned cold.

"You should all go back first. Yun Qing said that he will stay at home for a while longer this time. You don't have to wait here. After all, the Zhu Mansion doesn't welcome you."

Zhu Yunqi immediately ordered the guest to leave and then left.

Ye Jinse was about to take action but was stopped by Xie Changci. Then Song Lanyue suddenly said, "Then let's find an inn to stay in first." Song Lanyue suggested.

"Okay." Ye Jinse didn't want to agree, but she inexplicably trusted what her junior sister said every time.

The three of them found an inn closest to the Zhu Mansion to stay in. Song Lanyue didn't believe what Zhu Yunqi said, so she planned to go find her fourth senior brother again at night.

No matter what, she has to stay by Fourth Senior Brother's side for the next few days to feel at ease.

Soon, it was late at night. When Ye Jinse heard that Song Lanyue was going to Zhu Mansion alone, she immediately refused. "I don't agree. Zhu Mansion is not a good place right now. Once you are discovered, Zhu Mansion will definitely not let you go."

"Don't we still have Fourth Senior Brother here? Besides, I am a Jindan now after all, so nothing will happen to me." Song Lanyue explained patiently and quickly gave the eldest senior brother a few glances.

Xie Changci quickly understood what she meant and advised: "Junior Sister is right. She is now a Jindan and should experience some experience. Even if something happens, Yun Qing is still here to protect her."

Ye Jinse had nothing to say and had to agree.

……

Zhufu.

"Did he hit you again?" Zhu Yunqing said angrily with a gloomy face.

Madam Zhu pulled the corner of her mouth, trying to cover it up, "Yun Qing, it's not true."

Zhu Yunqing pulled open his sleeves, immediately revealing the wounds hidden beneath them. Not to mention that there were already many wounds on his wrists, not to mention that there were other unknown wounds.

"You still said no!"

The facts were right before her eyes, and Mrs. Zhu could no longer hide them.

"I'll take you away, you don't have to stay here." Zhu Yunqing couldn't bear to see her like this.

"I won't leave. You might as well kill me if you want me to leave the Zhu family." Mrs. Zhu broke free from the grip and refused to leave no matter what.

Zhu Yunqing looked at her in disbelief, not believing what he heard, "He treated you like this, and you still want to stay here!"

"I'm going to kill him now!"

Zhu Yunqing's eyes were bloodshot and he was almost emotionally broken.

"No! How can you do such a rebellious thing! If you go, I will die in front of you now." Mrs. Zhu pulled out the hairpin on her head and pointed it at her neck.

Song Lanyue saw the whole process clearly on the roof. If she didn't go down now, the thing she was worried about would happen.

She jumped off the roof and flipped in through the window.

"Fourth Senior Brother, Madam Zhu, you two can both calm down." Song Lanyue tried to calm the two of them.

When Zhu Yunqing heard the voice of his junior sister, his expression softened a little.

Song Lanyue was so grateful that she took the hairpin from Madam Zhu's hand by the bed to prevent her from doing anything extreme.

"Little junior sister, why are you here?"

Song Lanyue pointed upwards and said, "Actually, I've been here for a while, and just happened to listen to what you said."

"They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?" Zhu Yunqing nodded and didn't take the matter to heart. Instead, he became concerned about Song Lanyue and the others.

"It's okay. Instead, I want to ask Madam Zhu if she has any handle or weakness that the Zhu family has in their hands?" As she said that, Song Lanyue looked at Madam Zhu lying on the bed.
