After Shi Yang calmed down, he was afraid that if he heard Shi Rong crying any longer, he would be reluctant to leave, so he hurried ahead and took people downstairs.

"Eat this."

Xing Jiashan was ordered to stay by Shi Yang's side and was responsible for providing timely and effective treatment after he was tortured to prevent him from suffering additional pain.

He fed Shi Yang several different kinds of homemade painkillers and hemostatics at once, and only stopped when Shi Yang was almost full of water.

"Okay, this way when you get whipped later, there won't be the risk of bleeding and infection."

"But when it comes to pain relief, it mainly depends on your own willpower. Painkillers can only alleviate the superficial pain of your injury to a certain extent."

"It won't have much effect on the pain that's deep inside your muscles. I can't just give you two injections of anesthetic, right? You'd fall asleep before it even started."

Shi Yang was amused by his unrealistic statement. He raised his hand and patted Xing Jiashan's tight and well-shaped shoulders.

"Honestly, I think you're much funnier than Chu Zhao."

Xing Jiashan saw that this man was about to be whipped, but he still had the mind to laugh?

I was speechless on the spot.

He really is worthy of being Shi Rong's biological brother, he looks exactly like her.

"I guess in this world, the only person who can still chat and laugh with others in the face of great storms is Shi Rong and you."

Shi Yang forced a curl of his lips.

"What else? A good cry? But crying won't solve anything."

"Look, look!"

Xing Jiashan extended an impolite finger and pointed at his elegant and handsome face.

"Even what you're saying now is exactly the same as what Shi Rong said. Oh my... you two siblings, you've suffered so much and have so little joy and happiness."

Shi Yang remained silent.

"Maybe."

……

On the other hand, ever since Shi Yang left, Shi Rong's emotions have always been on the verge of despair and collapse.

No matter how the four men comforted and coaxed her, it had no real effect.

She rubbed her eyes in grievance, crying so hard that her clothes were wet with tears, and she was not scared even when Xie Yixiu took off his hood.

I just kept crying with tears of sorrow.

Chu Yu took a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face.

"Oh~ Stop crying, baby! If you keep crying I'll want to cry too..."

Song Qianchen made five or six awkward faces in a row, but Shi Rong didn't even look at him.

"Stop crying, okay? What's wrong, baby? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Xie Yixiu also tried to wear Shi Yang's Lingna Belle doll costume to make Shi Rong happy, but the result was obvious: it was useless for him to wear it.

Calming down, Xie Yixiu chose to remain silent and carefully observed every change in Shi Rong's expression as she cried bitterly.

After a while, he really figured out the clue. He touched Shi Rong's smooth-haired little head.

"Baby, do you have something to say? Don't worry, let's talk slowly, okay?"

Xie Yixiu took off the bulky doll costume and rushed into the bathroom as quickly as possible to wash off the sticky sweat on his body.

After changing into new clothes, he took Shi Rong from Huo Jiuzhou's arms.

He held her and walked her around, looking for inspiration to speak, while soothing her softly.

"Baby, listen to me, do you want to go out and play?"

As soon as Xie Yixiu raised her hand and pointed out the window, Shi Rong immediately shook her head, indicating that she didn't want to go, and she cried even harder...

The little head fell heavily on Xie Yixiu's shoulder, and he cried breathlessly on the spot.

"Hey, okay... no, no, no... stop crying, okay? Are you hungry? Let's go eat something, okay?"

This time, Shi Rong not only shook his head like a rattle, but also raised his hands in protest and beat Xie Yixiu so hard that he cried out in pain.

"Okay, I won't go... Ouch! You're killing me..."

This little woman is really strong!

If he didn't have a multiple advantage in weight, he really wouldn't be able to control her.

As Shi Rong was crying, she seemed to see something. She half opened her stiff mouth and tried for a long time, but couldn't utter a word.

Finally, in her anxiety, she thought of a good way to express her needs.

She raised a small, snow-white hand and pointed at the same doll that Lingna Belle had given her on the bedside table.

Huo Jiuzhou looked in the direction of her finger with a melancholy gaze, and he understood.

"Ah Rong wants to find his brother?"

Shi Rong nodded vigorously and opened her helpless hands towards him. Her tearful face looked at him expectantly, hoping that he could take her to find her brother.

Huo Jiuzhou welcomed the little woman back into his arms and wiped away the glistening tears on her face with his soft fingertips.

He originally thought that even if Shi Rong was temporarily sad when he saw Shi Yang leave without looking back, he would not miss him for too long.

Unexpectedly, her persistence lasted until two hours after Shi Yang left, and she never forgot her original purpose.

She is still the same Shi Rong who is stubborn and chooses good.

"Ah Rong, be good. Brother will be back soon, okay? Very soon, very soon, okay?"

When Shi Rong heard this, his emotions, which had been somewhat stable, collapsed again.

She tilted her head back and cried in despair.

Her weak will made it difficult for her to understand why these people refused to take her to find her brother.

"Okay... go, I'll take you there, okay? Stop crying, okay?"

Seeing how hard she was crying, Huo Jiuzhou's heart was almost broken. After thinking it over again and again, he had no choice but to compromise.

Xie Yixiu didn't react for a moment and just nodded in agreement. After a moment...

"what?"

He looked at Huo Jiuzhou in shock.

"Do you really want to take her with you?"

Huo Jiuzhou finally managed to calm Shi Rong down. He looked back at Xie Yixiu with a mixture of laughter and tears.

"Or do you have a better way? Can you make her stop crying?"

Xie Yixiu coughed awkwardly twice and was speechless, but...

"Isn't this bad? She has the mentality of a three-year-old child now. Do we want to take a child to watch such a cruel scene?"

"Especially since Sang Si Ning is here, I'm worried that it will arouse her fear from the day before, and she won't dare to face outsiders. Then wouldn't our dancing for the past two days be in vain?"

Huo Jiuzhou fully understood his concerns, but he had his own ideas.

“The best way for a person to defeat fear is to face it.”

Got it!

Xie Yixiu could see that Huo Jiuzhou was indeed a taciturn person, but if he suddenly said something, you really couldn't argue with him.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

Several people rested on the spot, thinking about the Ying family's eight-member trial. After all, there were many people present, so they had to dress in a similar way.

He went into Shi Ying's dressing room and picked out a few high-end suits to change into.

She also chose a light yellow French square-neck, floral, long-sleeved, waist-cinching A-line dress for Shi Rong, and combed her loose hair.

Perhaps knowing that these people were going to take her to see her brother, Shi Rong cooperated very well throughout the process and let them do whatever they wanted.

"Mmm~ The baby is so beautiful! Let's go~"
