The door was pushed open. Su Qianxun quickly wrapped herself in the blanket.

Aunt Qi entered the room with a smile, and Su Qianxun immediately asked, “Aunt Qi, Long… Where is the young master?”

“The young master went out. He left early in the morning.”

“Left? Does this mean he’ll be away for a few days again?”

Su Qianxun was feeling rather regretful. She should have talked to Long Sijue the day before to obtain his permission to take care of her younger brother in the hospital. If he were to disappear for another week, all the effort she put in last night would be in vain.

“About this… frankly, I have no idea. Us servants do not have the slightest clue about the young master’s business. However, in the past, the young master was often away for a long time indeed. The fact that he has been spending a considerable amount of time in Jin Garden lately is fairly uncommon.”

Su Qianxun felt the urge to cry when she heard that. If she were to be imprisoned in her room for another ten days or half a month, what would happen to her younger brother?

With that thought in mind, Su Qianxun took the man’s nightgown, which was lying next to her, put it on and got out of the bed. While she was about to get off the bed, her legs went limp and she almost fell.

“Young mistress, are you alright?” Aunt Qi was startled. She was observant enough to notice the blood stain on the mattress and anxiously asked, “Young mistress, are you on your period?”

Su Qianxun saw the blood stain on the mattress as well. She shook her head in embarrassment. “No…”

She knew her own body very well. This was not menstrual blood. Long Sijue was so rough last night that he injured her. Even right now, her lower abdomen was in great pain.

“Should we call the doctor over so that he can take a look?” Aunt Qi felt rather sorry for the young woman. She was so skinny and petite. ‘Couldn’t the young master have gone easy on her?’

Su Qianxun shook her head in embarrassment and said, “I’ll give the young master a call.”

“All right then, I’ll go get some clothes for you.” Aunt Qi helped her as she sat down and left to retrieve her clothes.

Su Qianxun quickly dialed Long Sijue’s cell phone number. The call was answered after a few rings.

“Anything?” Long Sijue’s deep voice rang out from the speaker.

“Young master… where are you… I want to see you.”

When he heard the young woman’s woeful voice, Long Sijue felt as if his heartstrings were being tugged at. He felt a little agitated for some unknown reason.

It was a very strange feeling. At least, it was something that he had never felt before.

“Ask the driver to bring you here.” Long Sijue hung up.

When Su Qianxun realized that he did not turn down her request, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Aunt Qi had already brought her some clothes. Su Qianxun rose and was about to go to the bathroom to wash up and get dressed.

However, the moment she got up, she immediately sat back down again.

When Aunt Qi saw how pale Su Qianxun looked, she said, “I better ask the doctor to take a look at you.”

“No, Aunt Qi. How could I let a male doctor examine me… in my current condition?”

“Then, what are we supposed to do? Look at you. You can hardly walk.” Aunt Qi knew very well that the young woman was wantonly tortured in bed.

“Aunt Qi, can you do me a favor and get me a painkiller?”

She still had to meet Long Sijue later. She would not have the energy to please him in her current condition.

However, if she did not get on his good side, he would definitely turn down her request to take care of her younger brother in the hospital.

“I do have some painkillers… but…”

“Aunt Qi, please. Just this one time.”

Aunt Qi eventually gave in. “I’ll go and get one for you.”

“Thank you, Aunt Qi. I knew that you’re the best..”

After Aunt Qi went to retrieve the painkiller, Su Qianxun entered the bathroom with her clothes.

As soon as Aunt Qi returned to her room, she started looking for her painkillers. When Qi Min saw Aunt Qi rummaging through her stuff, she pretended to ask in a casual manner, “Mother, what are you looking for?”

“Painkillers. I kept them here earlier. Have you seen them?”
