Madam Qin nodded: "Alright, Mother will take you there."

Originally, Luo Sisi and her baby were friends.

The Animal Skin Gang was all men, but because they knew Qin Shi, they let her in when they saw she was looking for Luo Sisi.

Luo Sisi has an eccentric personality, and everyone is used to her temper.

As soon as Qin reached the door, Luo Sisi's cold voice came from inside: "I'm not seeing anyone, Aunt Qin, you should go back."

Luo Sisi didn't want to see anyone right now; she was very irritable.

Qin sensed something was wrong; the little girl wasn't like this the last time she visited her.

Luo Sisi may seem eccentric, but she has a kind heart. She's just a bit sharp-tongued, but Madam Qin won't hold it against a child. Once she gets to know her, she'll realize how kind-hearted she is and won't hold it against her anymore.

Luo Sisi chased her away today, but she wasn't angry; she just assumed that something had happened to Luo Sisi.

"Sisi, is something bothering you? Tell your auntie. I've brought your friend Yubao along."

Qin's voice was gentle, and after she finished speaking, she asked Qin Jin'an to make a sound.

Qin Jin'an obediently replied, "Sister Sisi."

Hearing this from inside the room made Luo Sisi feel even worse. She nervously tried to get out of bed, but as soon as she stood up, she started bleeding...

She lay back down, feeling utterly hopeless; she had a terminal illness.

She might be contagious, her father hasn't come back, and she can't rely on anyone.

One was her aunt whom she had feelings for, and the other was a friend. She didn't want them to hate her, so she decided to avoid seeing them.

"Yu Bao, I'm not feeling well. You and your mother should go home first. Congratulations on getting home. I'll come see you again when I'm better."

Luo Sisi suppressed her grief and spoke to Qin Jin'an.

She was just a thirteen-year-old girl; no matter how self-reliant she was, she couldn't be perfect in every aspect.

Qin heard the sobbing in Luo Sisi's voice and became even more worried.

What exactly is wrong with Luo Sisi? She's a young woman with no one to take care of her, and the Animal Skin Gang is all men, all big and burly, so they're even less likely to care about her.

"Sisi, where do you feel unwell? Have you seen a doctor? Have you taken any medicine?"

Qin couldn't help but ask again.

Luo Sisi was on the verge of tears in her room. She didn't know why she was so fragile; she just really wanted to cry. Qin Shi's gentle care for her made her want to cry even more.

Qin Jin'an didn't understand what was wrong with Luo Sisi either.

She took the green snake out of her bosom and gently squeezed it: "Little Green, wake up, go in and see what's wrong with Sister Sisi."

When Qin Jin'an took out the green snake, Qin Shi became a little nervous.

The green snake slowly woke up. The weather was getting colder and colder. It was sleeping very comfortably next to Qin Jin'an. It knew that Qin Jin'an usually wouldn't disturb it, so waking it up must mean something was wrong.

The green snake opened its eyes, its body wriggling as it regained its vitality, then it looked at Qin Jin'an and hissed.

What's wrong, Yu Bao? I didn't hear what you just said.

Qin Jin'an patted the green snake's head: "Little Green, Sister Sisi is unhappy. Can you check if she's hurt and see if she's alright?"

The green snake remembered Luo Sisi, and it agreed.

The green snake swam from Qin Jin'an's palm to the ground and slowly crawled away.

Both Qin Shi and Qin Jin'an waited quietly.

Luo Sisi, who was inside the house, felt that it was very quiet outside and thought that they had already left.

Her tears of grievance flowed down her cheeks and into her hair.

Until a glimpse of a blue snake appeared in her vision.

Luo Sisi's aggrieved eyes turned fierce!

Even snakes are bullying her, aren't they?

She was about to get up when she started bleeding again. In despair, she lay back down, her nostrils trembling as she cried silently.

Startled by her murderous intent, the green snake began to slip away.

It thought to itself that this was indeed the person it hated. If Yu Bao hadn't invited it to come, it would never have come, no matter what.

Luckily she was injured, otherwise she would have lost her life.

The green snake returned to Qin Jin'an's side.

Hiss—

Yu Bao, she seems to be injured. There's a lot of blood in her breath, and she looks very weak. She was about to hit me, but it must have aggravated her wound, so she lay back down.

The green snake returned to Qin Jin'an's palm and coiled up.

Qin Jin'an gently put it back into his clothes, then said to Qin Shi, "Mother, Sister Sisi seems to be injured. Xiaoqing said there is a lot of blood, and she is very weak now."

Qin frowned, looking somewhat conflicted.

Luo Qing had business dealings with her, and Luo Sisi had also helped her deliver meals.

Although we weren't so familiar with each other that we shared everything, I absolutely couldn't just stand by and watch a little girl get hurt.

What exactly happened to Luo Sisi?

Was it because you were bullied, or is there some other unspeakable reason?

After thinking for a moment, Qin said, "My dear, we can't go home like this. I'll open the door and go in to check. You stay here and keep everyone out."

Luo Sisi had injuries, which none of the people in the outer courtyard knew. Luo Sisi wasn't a pampered young lady from a wealthy family, but these uncles and elders treated her very well.

Qin guessed that Luo Sisi didn't want anyone to know.

Qin hesitated for a moment before deciding to go in and take a look. At worst, she would stop doing business with Luo Qing. Once she understood what was going on, she would feel more at ease going home.

Qin Jin'an nodded obediently, looking left and right to make sure no one would come.

Qin walked to the door and pushed it open.

Luo Sisi was immersed in grief, tears streaming down her face. Hearing the door open, she became furious. She turned around to yell at someone when she saw a figure walking out of the blinding white light.

"Sisi, I was really worried about you, so I came in to check on you. Are you feeling unwell? Have you been bullied or wronged? Don't be afraid, tell Auntie, and Auntie will help you think of a solution."

After opening the door, Madam Qin walked towards the inside, talking as she went, every word filled with concern.

Luo Sisi couldn't bring herself to utter the angry curses she wanted to say. She didn't want to be seen like this, but she couldn't hold back her tears.

Seeing Qin enter the room, she cried even harder.

"Aunt Yu... Waaah—"

Luo Sisi's first words were a broken cry.

Qin knew something was wrong as soon as she heard it, and quickly went to the bedside.

"Where does it hurt? Where are you injured?"

Qin looked her up and down anxiously, but couldn't see any injuries. However, she could smell blood.

Luo Sisi sniffed and choked out, "I've been bleeding, I might be dying... I don't know what happened, I suddenly started bleeding from down there, and it hurts so much. I think I have some incurable disease. Aunt Yu, you should go, I'm afraid I'll infect you."

Qin was taken aback at first, then she laughed.

She reached out and touched Luo Sisi's hair, then wiped away her tears. She smiled and said, "Silly girl, you don't have any terminal illness. You've just grown up."

This is menstruation, which happens to all women.

Luo Sisi had started her period, but she didn't have any elders around to care for her or tell her about it. She didn't understand why she suddenly started her period and scared herself.

"Silly girl, is it because you suddenly started bleeding from below and your lower abdomen is hurting? And the bleeding keeps coming back?" Qin Shi gently rubbed Luo Sisi's slightly cool hands and asked her gently.
