Ling Yu sat for who knows how long. The oil in the oil lamp burned out and the room fell into darkness. She did not light any more lamps.

She sat quietly, not feeling sleepy after not sleeping all night.

I was thinking wildly in my mind, and just as I was lost in thought, I heard a knock on the door from outside.

"Miss Xing, I am Bai Yu, the princess' maid. She asked me to bring you a message!"

Ling Yu woke up suddenly, ran out and opened the door.

Bai Yu was exactly what Ling Yu had seen before in Nanwang Mansion, the maid who followed Long Peipei. She was very tall, and Ling Yu remembered her.

"Bai Yu, is there any news about my brother?" Ling Yu asked eagerly.

Bai Yu smiled and said: "My princess is out, but if there is no news, wouldn't I be sorry for you?"

"Don't worry, your brother has been found, and the princess is bringing him back. I'm worried that you might be anxious, so let me come over and tell you in advance!"

Ling Yu breathed a sigh of relief, stared and asked, "Who captured him?"

The smile on Bai Yu's face faded, and she looked at Ling Yu with some sympathy: "As you guessed, it's Miao Yang, but he didn't do it directly, it was his mother!"

"His mother saw Miao Yang's body festering and suffering, and she heard that Baili Hai was going to expel him from the school. She felt sorry for him and was unwilling to let Miao Yang's future be ruined, so she took revenge on you!"

"According to her statement, she originally wanted to arrest you and ask you to hand over the antidote, but she said that her people found that you were protected by someone and it was hard to do anything, so they arrested your brother!"

Ling Yu was stunned for a moment. There was someone protecting her? Why didn't she notice?

Who did this?

To protect yourself or to monitor yourself?

"My eldest brother wasn't hurt, was he?" Ling Yu asked.

Bai Yu looked embarrassed: "We went a little late, your brother...he, he...you will know when you see him later!"

Bai Yu seemed unable to bear to continue talking.

Ling Yu's heart sank to the bottom instantly. What happened to her elder brother? Why did Bai Yu look like this?

Could it be...could he...

A lot of tortures flashed through Ling Yu's mind. She clenched her fists and her face turned as dark as ink.

As long as her eldest brother is still alive, she will save him at all costs!

Miao Yang's family wanted revenge on her eldest brother, and she would pay Miao Yang ten times the amount.

Just as he was talking, a carriage came over silently, and several guards accompanied Long Peipei.

"Brother!"

Ling Yu didn't bother to thank Long Peipei, so she rushed over and opened the car curtain.

By the light of the guard's torch, Ling Yu saw Wan Shitong lying unconscious in the carriage.

Wan Shitong's face was covered with whip wounds, and his clothes were torn and stained with blood.

At first glance, there is almost no good piece of meat!

Ling Yu was filled with anger instantly. She wished she could rush to kill Miao Yang right now.

"Xing Yu, let them carry your brother home first! The doctor from Prince Nan's Mansion will be here soon!"

Long Peipei saw Ling Yu trembling with anger and quickly pulled her aside.

"Save your brother first, and I will support you in whatever way you want to retaliate against them afterwards!"

Bai Yu quickly called a few guards to carry Wan Shitong into the house. Ling Yu clenched his fists and followed him in.

She directed the guards to carry Wan Shitong to his bed, and then went to fetch water, hoping to clean Wan Shitong's wound first.

"Mudong, please help Xing Yu!"

Long Peipei said to his bodyguard.

Mudong is in his early twenties, tall and has a calm face.

He nodded, and without saying a word, he asked a guard to fetch water, and he came over to help Wan Shitong take off his tattered clothes and pants.

Ling Yu glanced at Long Peipei gratefully. Although she and Wan Shitong were brothers and sisters, they were not real siblings after all. It was always a bit awkward for her to strip and clean Wan Shitong's body.
