Du Yijin returned to the mansion, just as dusk was falling.

Although the Du Mansion had only a small courtyard, it contained a rockery and a corridor.

Du Yijin walked through the corridor towards her half-brother's room.

Du Chunkang, Du Yijin's half-brother, was a premature birth brought into the world when Mrs. Gu was only seven months pregnant. This is because Mrs. Gu's brother had accumulated a huge gambling debt and when the debt collectors came knocking at their door, she hurried home, stressing her into premature labor. This made the child inherently weak and often ill upon birth.

Du Chunkang's real mother was unreliable, so Du Yijin had raised him worth her own hands. The siblings shared a profound bond, and Du Yijin made it a habit to take a peek into Chunkang's room before retiring to her own every night. Today was no exception.
