His eldest sister, a victim of foul play, met a tragic end.
His elder brother, wrongfully imprisoned, languished in dungeons.
His father journeyed to the capital to seek justice, only to meet a watery demise on the road.
His mother, driven to madness overnight, perished in flames.

And suspicions fell on a young woman from the Renxin Medical Hall.
However...
Before he could find evidence,
The girl made her move against him first.

When she turned around, she saw Xia Rongrong curled up on the couch, her hand still tightly clutching a pair of silver scissors.

"She lives right next door," Xia Rongrong whispered, "just seeing her face today made me shiver. Xiang Cao, what if she suspects that we discovered what she did and decides to silence us?"
