At the same time, the Lu family of Hengzhou.
In the damp dungeon, a young man with a face as pale as paper leaned against the wall. He was thin and his breathing was intermittent.
He suddenly woke up with a start.
"don't want--"
He was gasping for breath, sweating profusely, his bloodshot eyes staring at his hands, which seemed to be stained with blood. It was the blood of his sister and father...
He wiped his hands vigorously with his sleeves, but the scene before him still seemed real and unreal.
When he looked up, dreams and reality intertwined.
What caught his eye were the bars of the dungeon, his father whose head he had chopped off and hung in the air, and his sister covered in blood.
And he was forced to stand there, forced to pick up the sword, forced to kill his beloved relatives, forced to witness all this thousands of times!
The boy's face was filled with pain and fear. He raised his hands to cover his cheeks, trying not to see what was happening.
But no matter what he did, this scene would still appear before his eyes and in his mind.
Can't get rid of it!
What followed was the pain that felt like his heart was being gnawed, which made him fall into hell countless times. He stretched out his hands, but no one pulled them up.
Pain, panic, and despair consumed him.
When he regained consciousness briefly, he discovered that he had actually bitten off a piece of flesh from his arm...
He seemed to bang his head against the wall, many times.
Causing blood to drip from the brain?
The guards in the dungeon were shocked and hurried to inform the mistress.
At this time, Helian Sang, the mistress of the Lu family, was chatting and laughing with her daughter Lu Ling.
Helian Sang looked at Lu Ling with doting eyes, reached out and lifted the strands of hair from her forehead, and sighed helplessly: "Ling'er, do you really like Sui Changyun? He is really the only one you can have?"
"Mother..." Lu Ling's cheeks flushed slightly. She hugged Helian Sang's arm and acted like a little girl. "Brother Changyun treats me very well. I like him very much."
Helian Sang caressed Lu Ling's head lovingly, "If he is willing to become our Lu family's son-in-law, mother would not disagree with this marriage."
"Isn't it too humiliating for Brother Changyun to be a son-in-law?" Lu Ling raised her head and bit her lip.
"Silly child, even if he is gifted, he has no power and influence, and is nothing in this Changming Realm." Helian Sang raised his hand and stroked her head, saying gently.
As she spoke, her mind began to wander.
At the beginning, she chose such a man, but later found out that the man had no power and could not give her the life she wanted.
That man is Shen Tianhao.
Compared with her current husband, Shen Tianhao is a world of difference.
Shen Tianhao couldn't give her fame, power, money, or influence, but her current husband could give her all these things.
When Helian Sang thought of this, his eyes turned a little colder.
"Ling'er, if you don't want Sui Changyun to become our Lu family's son-in-law, then mother and father will not agree with you two being together. Without Sui Changyun, you still have many choices. Dongfang Xin, the young master of the Dongfang family, Hu Peiguang, the young master of the Hu family in Baifeng City, Jing Ziqian, the young master of the Qiankun Sect..."
Lu Ling interrupted her, "Mother, I just want Sui Changyun!"
Helian Sang looked helpless and said earnestly, "Why are you so stubborn, child? We are a prominent family, and we value matching. If you marry Sui Changyun, and the news gets out, it will be so embarrassing for our Lu family."
Lu Ling hesitated for a moment after hearing this.
She slowly leaned into Helian Sang's arms, "Mother, I will listen to you. Let Brother Changyun be our Lu family's son-in-law. But..."
"Just what?"
Lu Ling wondered, "Brother Changyun has been away for training for three months, and he hasn't contacted me."
"He dares to ignore you like this?" Helian Sang's face darkened slightly.
Lu Ling's tone was full of disappointment. "Maybe he's too busy."
Just when Helian Sang was about to say something, the guard's voice came from outside.
"Come in."
Helian Sang said in a deep voice.
The dungeon guard knelt and reported, "Madam, the young man imprisoned in the dungeon yesterday has suddenly gone mad. He keeps banging his head against the wall and biting his arm. He seems to be somewhat delirious."
Helian Sang frowned slightly.
At this time, Lu Ling asked curiously: "Young man? Who is he?"
Helian Sang said calmly, "It was just an impolite young man who bumped into me. I originally wanted to detain him for a few days and then let him go. I didn't expect him to cause such a scene in the dungeon."
When Lu Ling heard this, she lost interest.
Suddenly, Lu Ling realized something and her eyes lit up. She probed her spiritual consciousness into the communication crystal. After hearing what the other party said, a smile suddenly broke out on her face.
"Mother, Brother Changyun has returned from his training. I'm going to Yucheng to find him!"
Yucheng is located near Chengyun Palace.
Helian Sang disapproved, "Ling'er, he ignored you for three months, yet you went to him desperately. He's trying to take advantage of you."
"Mom, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Lu Ling stood up and said with a smile.
After Lu Ling paid her respects to Helian Sang, she left the place in a happy mood.
Seeing this, Helian Sang felt a headache and raised his hand to rub his temples.
It took her a few seconds to realize the Dungeon Guard was still there.
Thinking of Shen Huai, she became even more irritated.
I couldn't help but wonder, is he doing this because he wants to see her?
Oh, then he made a wrong calculation!
Helian Sang waved his hand casually and said, "Watch him first, don't let him die."
Upon hearing this, the dungeon guard cautiously asked, "Do you want to call a doctor for him?"
Helian Sang originally wanted to say 'no', but when he thought about how he could still help Chao'er's condition, his eyes darkened slightly and he said coldly, "Ask a doctor to check him out. Also, prescribe some blood-tonifying medicine for him to drink."
