In the evening, the moon climbed to the peak of the mountain.

After two hours, Xu Ziling woke up in bed. As she slowly opened her eyes, she saw the affectionate look on Madam Xu’s face.

Madam Xu suddenly looked delighted. “Ling’er, you’re finally awake.”

Xu Ziling let out a small yawn, then forced herself to sit up. With a groggy voice, she asked, “Mother, how did I suddenly fall asleep?”

Just then, she recollected how odd Xu Jianchen had acted in the afternoon and her eyes shot wide open. “Mother, where’s Xu Jianchen?” She asked through gritted teeth and an incredibly vicious look in her eyes.

Madam Xu saw the astonishingly furious look on Xu Ziling’s face. “Ling’er, forgive your Second Brother. He’s still young. You must teach him well. Don’t...” She pleaded in a gentle voice.

Xu Ziling didn’t finish listening to Madam Xu, as she got out of bed and ran outside.

Madam Xu spotted the flustered look on Xu Ziling’s face and let out a sigh. There’s not a single one of these children who didn’t make her worry. Fortunately, she only raised four children; anymore and the general’s manor would be in chaos.

Xu Ziling darted to her own room and barged inside.

As she expected, she saw that only chains were left on the pillar. Zuiying was long gone.

Xu Ziling was uncontrollably angry. She clenched her fists and coldly cried, “Zitian! Zidi!”

“At your service, Young Lady,” replied Zitian and Zidi who stepped in with cupped fists.

Xu Ziling walked out of the building with ferocious, gritted teeth and cried, “Follow . If I don’t skin Xu Jianchen alive today, then my na’s not Xu!”

Xu Ziling led Zitian and Zidi to Xu Jianchen’s courtyard in seething anger, but when she arrived, she discovered that it was pitch-black inside and there were just two guards at the door.

With full knowledge of what happened, Xu Ziling asked rhetorically, “Tell , Xu Jianchen at the Eldest Young Master’s, isn’t he?”

The two n at the door furrowed their brows in response. “The Second Young Master hasn’t co back since the afternoon. We don’t know where he is.”

Xu Ziling scoffed coldly, then turned her heels and walked to Xu Jianfeng’s building. That twerp! He better not let her catch him, otherwise she was going to definitely hit him until he cries ‘father’ and ‘mother’.

To her surprise, he had dared to actually go against her?! Xu Jianchen, I haven’t taught you a good lesson lately, so you dare try to cross ?

Xu Ziling clenched her jaw and walked to Xu Jianfeng’s building in fury.

“Greetings Young Lady!” Respectfully bowed eight shadow guards who surrounded the entrance.

Xu Ziling looked at the eight shadow guards who blocked her path and grinned coldly. Xu Jianchen, you’ve underestimated .

Inside, Xu Jianchen and Xu Jianfeng slept next to each other; snoring ever so often.

All of a sudden, there was a bang so loud that it instantly shocked Xu Jianfeng and Xu Jianchen awake.

Xu Jianchen clenched her fists tightly in shock and his face instantly turned pale. “B-big... brother, d-did that tigress c-co... over?”

Xu Jianfeng flashed a fearless smile. “What are you afraid of? There are eight shadow guards outside. Even if it was Xu Ziling, nobody would be able to get in.”

All of a sudden, there was another bang. Just then, they heard a tile crash to the ground.

Xu Jianchen looked stunned and his entire body shuddered uncontrollably. “I-I’m done for! W-what... should I do?”

Xu Jianfeng was also stunned. “M-my... my room...”

Xu Jianchen imdiately hugged Xu Jianfeng and pleaded weakly, “Big brother, you must protect ! I’m scared!”

Xu Ziling flew down the hole in the ceiling. Just then, she shot through the screen and saw Xu Jianchen tightly cling on to Xu Jianfeng.

Xu Ziling’s smile looked extraordinarily sinister, as she pulled out a wooden baton as thick as an arm.
