Yan Canglan returned to the woodshed and told his sister Yan Shuqin everything that Hongying had just told him about the brother and sister Lu Yundi and Lu Zhiwei who depended on each other for survival.

Yan Shuqin listened quietly, tears welling up in her eyes, and nodded from time to time, obviously feeling the same way.

When Yan Canglan finished speaking, she sighed deeply and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Brother, how do you think they can endure such pain?" Yan Shuqin's voice trembled slightly.

Yan Canglan looked at his sister with eyes full of love. He said softly, "They are just like us. They lost their mothers when they were young, but they are not as lucky as us. They don't have a father to love them, and they don't have relatives to protect them. They can only depend on each other for survival."

Yan Shuqin shed more tears. She covered her face and sobbed, her voice choking: "I can't imagine how they spent those lonely days. They must be in pain."

Yan Canglan gently patted his sister's shoulder and comforted her: "Sister, life is like this, things are unpredictable, there are joys and sorrows."

Yan Canglan rubbed his cheeks and looked up at the sky outside the woodshed. It was a deep blue, and the sunlight shone through the wooden windows onto the dusty ground. He turned around and looked at the beads of sweat on Lu Yundi's forehead, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Madam, you have worked hard." Yan Canglan said softly, handing over a clean handkerchief.

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, took it and wiped the sweat off his face: "Thank you."

Yan Canglan turned his face away shyly, his ears slightly red.

Lu Yundi looked at Yan Canglan's appearance and laughed in his heart, but couldn't help but remind him: "Canglan, you and Shuqin should stay away from Zhiwei. Zhiwei... no one can get close to him except me, otherwise he will attack you."

Yan Shuqin nodded obediently and took Yan Canglan two steps back.

Yan Canglan frowned slightly, with a trace of worry in his eyes: "Madam, your brother's illness..."

"The situation of stopping the crisis is very complicated and cannot be resolved in a short time." Lu Yundi sighed, with deep helplessness in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the woodshed was a little heavy for a moment. Yan Canglan wanted to say something to break the silence, but he heard footsteps outside.

Hongying came over with a bowl of medicine.

Lu Yundi took the medicine and gently blew away the hot steam on the surface, his eyes full of concern.

She walked slowly to the haystack and gently woke Lu Zhiwei up.

Lu Zhiwei slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lu Yundi with a dazed look, as if he was looking for something.

Lu Yundi said softly, "Zhi Wei, it's time to take the medicine."

A flash of panic flashed across Lu Zhiwei's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by calmness. He tried to sit up, but was unable to do so. Lu Yundi gently supported him and fed him the medicine soup.

As the medicinal soup entered his mouth, Lu Zhiwei felt a warm current spreading from his throat to his whole body, as if slowly repairing his damaged nerves.

Lu Zhiwei slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were a little blurry, but soon he recognized Lu Yundi and forced a smile: "Sister, you are finally here."

Lu Yundi felt a pang in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes. She held back her tears, sat down beside Lu Zhiwei's bed, and held his hand tightly: "Zhiwei, you have suffered. Although this medicine is bitter, it is used to save you. You must be strong and make it through."

Lu Zhiwei nodded with a bitter smile on his face: "I know, sister, I won't let you down."

Hongying stood aside, watching this scene, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

"Zhiwei, this medicine is made from precious medicinal materials and has remarkable effects. You must take it on time and strive to recover soon." Lu Yundi said softly, while carefully handing the medicine bowl to Lu Zhiwei's lips.

Lu Zhiwei raised his head slightly and drank the medicine in one gulp. His brows slightly frowned, but soon relaxed again. He looked at Lu Yundi, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Sister, thank you."

Lu Yundi gently patted Lu Zhiwei's hand and said softly, "Silly brother, these are what I should do. You just need to rest and recuperate, and don't worry about other things."

Hongying couldn't help but think of her sister taking care of her in the same way when she was a child. She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Lu Zhiwei would recover soon.

In the woodshed, the dim light flickered, illuminating Lu Yundi's anxious face.

She held her brother Lu Zhiwei's hand tightly and looked at him with worry in her eyes.

Lu Zhiwei suddenly grabbed Lu Yundi's hand and said with horror: "Sister, someone pushed mother into the well, really... I'm so scared..."

Lu Yundi's heart suddenly sank. She held Lu Zhiwei's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry and confusion: "Brother, are you telling the truth? Aunt Zheng was murdered?"

The dim light in the woodshed flickered, reflecting on Lu Zhiwei's pale face. He nodded with effort, tears welling up in his eyes: "Sister, I really saw it... I saw mother being pushed down, and then I didn't know anything."

Lu Yundi's heart was broken. She gently patted Lu Zhiwei's hand, trying to calm him down: "Brother, don't be afraid. Sister is here. We will find out the truth. Tell me, did you see who the murderer is?"

Lu Zhiwei shook his head, his eyes becoming empty: "I didn't see clearly, I just thought it was a figure, very tall, wearing black. Sister, I'm so scared, I'm afraid that mother will leave us like this."

Lu Yundi clenched her teeth, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for your mother. Now what we have to do is to stabilize you first, and then investigate this matter."

"Sister, mother is dead..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Zhiwei suddenly fell backwards, his eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness again.

Lu Yundi's heart tightened, tears welled up in her eyes. She gently shook her brother's shoulders and anxiously called his name: "Zhi Wei, wake up, sister is here, open your eyes and look at sister..."

However, Lu Zhiwei seemed unable to hear her call and remained unconscious.

Lu Yundi became more and more flustered. She held her brother's hand tightly, and tears rolled down the back of his hand.

She couldn't help but start to wonder whether her mother's death was really an accident, and whether her brother's madness was also caused by someone else?

Lu Yundi suddenly realized that if her brother Lu Zhiwei regained consciousness, he might become a victim of the power struggle within the Lu family. With a flash of determination in her eyes, she turned to the maid Hongying and said firmly, "Hongying, we can't let him continue to take the medicine."

Hongying was stunned, her eyes revealing confusion and worry: "Madam, but the Marquis has instructed that the young master's madness should be cured as soon as possible, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

At this time, the two were in the firewood room of Lu's mansion. The dim light shone through the window lattice onto their faces, reflecting complex emotions.
