Duan Kaiyuan nodded and went to check on his sister.

Because Luo Han had just been detoxed and needed to rest, Duan Kaiyuan didn’t visit him.

Luo Han had taken a bullet for his sister, so Duan Kaiyuan should visit!

Duan Sha had already recovered a lot.

Although she wasn’t asleep, she was calm.

When she saw that her brother, Duan Kaiyuan, had returned safely, her eyes immediately turned red.

“Brother, you’re finally back! I was really terrified today!” Duan Kaiyuan’s heart ached when he saw his sister’s red eyes.

“I’m sorry. I was wrong to leave you here alone.”

Duan Sha thought of something and said, “Brother, it’s not your fault! No matter how vigilant you were, you couldn’t guard against such a thing! Brother, why are you back so quickly?”

Duan Kaiyuan recalled what had happened today and said with lingering fear, “I went to the designated place according to the agreement, but no one appeared, so I knew that I had been deceived! When I rushed back, I was ambushed by a group of men in black halfway. Fortunately, Miss Li’s mentor passed by and saved me. Otherwise, I would have lost my life today!” When Duan Sha heard her second brother’s words, she immediately panicked.

“Then how are you? Are you injured?”

“I suffered some minor injuries, but I’m fine! On the way back, I’ve already applied medicine for my external injuries. I’ll recover after recuperating for a while! It’s just that the people around me lost their lives.” Duan Kaiyuan said sadly, “I didn’t even have time to collect their corpses.”

When Duan Sha heard Duan Kaiyuan’s words, she thought for a moment and said, “Let’s ask the consort and the others for help! However, there’s a high chance that we won’t be able to find their corpses!”

“We still have to ask Mr. Luo and the consort to help us!” After Duan Kaiyuan thought for a moment, he decided to look for them.

His guards had died protecting him, so no matter what, he should bury them.

Duan Kaiyuan thought of something and asked, “Sister, why don’t you stay here for the time being?! Your safety is the most important. I’ll pick you up after I settle the matters outside, okay?”

Duan Sha also knew that if she insisted on going back now, she would definitely cause big trouble for her second brother, so she stayed in Luo Cheng’s residence obediently.

At least if she stayed here, she could guarantee her safety and take care of Young Master Luo.

Duan Sha suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, I wonder how Young Master Luo is doing now! He was poisoned in order to save me. It’s unknown if he’s still alive!”

“Don’t worry! Luo Cheng has already detoxed Young Master Luo! However, the detoxification process is very uncomfortable, so Young Master Luo needs to rest well now! Speaking of which, I really have to thank Young Master Luo this time. Otherwise, I would have to feel guilty for the rest of my life!” Duan Kaiyuan said with lingering fear.

“Young Master Luo has already detoxed? That’s good to hear!” Duan Sha heaved a sigh of relief.

“That’s right! Sister, it’s not that you don’t know! If you were poisoned by this poison, you would probably lose your life. This poison is called ‘Beloved’. The detoxification process is very painful for people with poor health. Many people can’t survive it and eventually pass away. Fortunately, Young Master Luo helped you block it this time. If you were poisoned, you would have lost your life!” Duan Kaiyuan explained the seriousness of this poison.

When Duan Sha heard this, her face turned pale and she understood something.

“Second Brother, who is it? Who wants me dead?”

“Who else could it be? It’s most likely because the fourth prince is indignant and wants to play dirty tricks! Think about it, if something happens to you here and to me here, Father and Mother will definitely be extremely sad. They might even vent their anger on Luo Cheng! Or perhaps, if the fourth prince interferes and makes our family think that Luo Cheng did it, what do you think will happen next?” Duan Kaiyuan didn’t hide the truth from Duan Sha.

Now that they were all in danger, hiding it would only have worse consequences.

Instead of having his sister be kept in the dark, it was better to make it clear from the beginning. At least, it could make his sister vigilant.

During this period of time, Duan Kaiyuan could tell that his sister wasn’t frail. Instead, she was quite resilient.

“Second Brother, I understand! Don’t worry and just do your thing! I’ll stay with Luo Cheng, so you don’t have to worry about me, but you have to protect

yourself!” Duan Sha reminded him.

“Yes, don’t worry. I’ll settle everything as soon as possible and give you a safe home!” Duan Kaiyuan said.

Duan Sha nodded and watched her brother leave.

After Duan Kaiyuan came out of his sister’s place, he went to see Luo Cheng.

He said something to Luo Cheng and left in a hurry.

After Luo Han was detoxed, he slept until night fell.

When he woke up, he realized that Duan Sha had fallen asleep on the table at the side.

Luo Han’s mouth was a little thirsty and hungry, so he tried to force himself to sit up, but it was useless.

Just as Luo Han was feeling dejected, Duan Sha woke up. Seeing that Luo Han had woken up, Duan Sha ran over happily.

“Young Master Luo, are you alright?”

“Miss Duan, why are you here? I’m a little thirsty. Can you get me some water to drink?” Luo Han said weakly.

“Alright, alright. Lie down now. I’ll get you some water to drink! Mr. Luo said that you consumed a lot of iron during the detoxification, so even if you wake up, your body will be very weak. I’ll get you some water to drink now!” As Duan Sha spoke, she went to the table at the side and picked up the kettle on the small stove before pouring it into a bowl filled with cold water.

After the mixture, the water temperature was just right. It was neither hot nor cold.

Duan Sha walked over with a bowl and wanted to feed Luo Han with a spoon. “No need. Call someone in and let me sit up to drink!” Luo Han said, feeling flattered.

Duan Sha also realized something and nodded.

“Alright, I’ll leave the water here first. I’ll call for help!” Luo Han nodded in agreement.

Soon, Zi Zheng walked in with a food box in his hand.

“The consort has already prepared porridge for you. You’ve just woken up, so you must be hungry. Come, let me help you sit up!” Zi Zheng said as he placed the food box on the table.

With Zi Zheng’s help, Luo Han could finally sit up and lean against the bed to drink water.

After drinking a bowl of water, his thirst was relieved.

Zi Zheng brought over porridge.

“Let me feed him!” Duan Sha said..
