Lu Xuan recalled all the efforts he had made in the past few days to escape.

At the beginning, he was drugged. First, he felt weak all over, and even eating and drinking were being controlled by others. He chose to go on a hunger strike. When Lu Xiaohan found out, he forcibly pried open his mouth and fed him mouth-to-mouth. This wasn't even the most terrifying part. The moment he felt the warmth of Lu Xiaohan's mouth, only heaven knows how much willpower he mustered to suppress the sound that almost escaped his lips. After that, he never dared to go on a hunger strike again.

After being dosed with medicine for a period of time, Lu Xuan became increasingly drowsy. He was only awake for two or three hours a day. He called a doctor, who said that this medicine was harmful to his body and if he continued taking it for a long time, it would cause irreversible damage. As a result, he stopped taking the medicine.

Having regained his strength, Lu Xuan couldn't bear to lay down any longer. He begged his servant who took care of him to pick some flowers and plants to help alleviate his boredom.

Lu Xuan took a leaf and concealed it in his hand. When he found himself alone, he secretly blew on a leaf whistle, summoning the white pigeon he had been raising. He tore off a small piece of his clothes and, biting his finger, wrote a distress letter. Under cover of the night, he released the white pigeon, hoping that someone from the Lu Family Manor would come to his rescue.

Who would have known, after waiting and waiting, instead of a savior, it was Lu Xiaohan, his face gloomy. Lu Xiaohan slammed a piece of cloth filled with words written in blood on the table: "Xuan, you start messing around as soon as you have a little bit of strength. You truly disappoint me!"

He angrily tore the piece of cloth and walked up to Lu Xuan. Bending down next to his ear, he smirked and said, "Since you have the strength, come and do something interesting with uncle."

And without waiting for Lu Xuan to respond, he pulled back the blanket on his body. Seeing Lu Xuan struggling fiercely, Lu Xiaohan simply tore a strip of cloth and tightly bound his hands, securing them above his head.

The body felt like a translucent xuan paper, torn apart haphazardly and then patched up with soothing words. The foul language from the mouth had unknowingly turned into a suppressed gasp, constantly emitting low breaths in order to restrain the pain caused by instinctive agony.

Looking at Lu Xuan's flushed cheeks and misty eyes, Lu Xiaohan chuckled, "Your mouth may not agree, but your body is very honest!"

Afterwards, there was another endless torment that seemed to have no end in sight.

After everything was done, Lu Xuan's entire body was drenched, with the bedsheets dripping with moisture. It was unclear whether the liquid on his face was sweat or tears.

After dressing himself, Lu Xiaohan stood by the window and said to the exhausted Lu Xuandao, "I originally thought that the view outside would be better for you to see, but it seems unnecessary now. Just stay comfortably in the room."

Walking a few steps forward, he suddenly remembered something. "Xiao Xuan, don't forget, if it weren't for my help back then, how could you have managed to control the Lu Family Manor?"

After saying that, he left the room, leaving Lu Xuan alone, lying on the bed in a daze.

The next day, Lu Xuan could only watch helplessly as the only window in the room was boarded shut. In addition, thick curtains were hung, blocking any trace of sunlight from entering. The entire room was devoid of light, except for the faint glow of a candle on the table.

Feeling restless, he smashed everything within reach into pieces. He picked up a shard and started slashing at his wrist. Although he was saved and brought back later, unsurprisingly, it was another episode of madness that followed.

Lù Xuán pondered over everything that had happened, raising his hand to look at the fierce scar on his wrist. No matter what, he had to find a way to escape. Life was still long ahead of him, and he didn't want to remain like this forever...
