Liu Qingfeng stood in front of Liu Qingqing's residence and asked Maidservant Zhao Ya to bring his younger sister downstairs.

Zhao Ya felt slightly conflicted.

After roughly learning of the truth over the course of the past few days, the Young Mistress had become utterly heartbroken, especially after hearing that her second brother, Liu Qingshan, had become crippled because of her. In fact, she even thought about committing suicide.

If Zhao Ya hadn't noticed this in a timely manner and removed all of the scissors and whatnot from Liu Qingqing's room, then it was very likely that the Lion Garden would have quickly gone from celebrating to grieving. Because of this, Zhao Ya accompanied her young mistress day and night, never leaving her side.

Moreover, Liu Qingqing appeared even more thin and pallid than the time when the slug demon had been terrorizing the Lion Garden. She was so emaciated that she was essentially nothing more than skin and bones.

"Tell her to come downstairs," Liu Qingfeng instructed in a calm voice.

Zhao Ya felt terrified, and she immediately ran upstairs to notify her young mistress.

Liu Qingqing timidly walked downstairs. In fact, she didn't even dare to let Zhao Ya support her by the arm.

Liu Qingfeng glanced at his younger sister and didn't say anything.

Liu Qingqing looked down with fear and panic in her mind.

Even though her first brother was clearly inferior to Liu Qingshan in every sense, she had somehow been fearful of him ever since a very young age.
