Chapter 769 - 369 Always Treating Me Like a Little Brother_2
Second Madam, Zhang, suddenly had two grandsons to hold and wasn’t so embittered anymore; she said a basketful of kind words, which pleased the old ancestor greatly.
At that moment, a servant from the outer court came to report that the Qian family had come to fetch Yixiu back to her parental home.
Yixiu was startled upon hearing this. Why were they coming to fetch her at this time without mentioning the reason? Could it be that something had happened at home? The old ancestor quickly urged her to return and reminded her not to worry and make wild guesses.
Upon reaching the Qian Mansion, the sedan chair took her straight to the Xiyue Pavilion.
Usually, the Xiyue Pavilion was filled with laughter and lively voices, since three children were always frolicking about, but now it was eerily silent. Entering the hall, she saw Zhu Sujin there, his face ashen, and Pan Yue was crying, softly speaking to him while holding his hand.
Yixiu was taken aback and hurried over, asking, "Brother, what happened?"
Pan Yue burst into tears and said only, "Jinwa, my child, how could this have happened..."
When Zhu Sujin heard that news, he felt as if he had been drained of all strength. He didn’t want to go anywhere or see anyone; all he wanted was to "go home," where perhaps he could calm down, to prevent himself from committing murder...

She had heard in Ji’an Province of nuns with deep knowledge of the Tao who had the ability to "Easy Child."
