Lin Yue approached to see Lin Qing surrounded and beaten by several scholars, his nose blue and face swollen, likely also harboring serious injuries. "What are you doing? Have you no respect for the law?" she exclaimed angrily.
"Xiaoyue, how did you get here?" Lin Qing, surprised and worried at his sister's arrival, didn't want her to see him in such a wretched state.
"Brother, how are you feeling? Are you alright?" Lin Yue helped Lin Qing up, her voice filled with concern. She planned to take him to see a doctor but intended to seek justice for Lin Qing first, of course, only if his condition allowed. From what she could see, Lin Qing had suffered mostly superficial damage—after all, these were merely scholars, naturally lacking the strength of farmhands.
