章 144: Chapter 144 Mother Falls Sick

Bai Ruozhu's heart clenched, "Second Brother, why didn't you say earlier?"

Bai Zepei glanced at her, his gaze somewhat deep, "Even if I'd told you earlier, could you do anything about it? Xiaosi is Uncle's son, can you interfere with their family affairs?"

"But..." Bai Ruozhu didn't know how to continue. She knew her second brother was right. She couldn't prevent how the old mansion treated Si Lang. There were no women and children's protection organizations in ancient times!

She felt as if Xiaosi was living in hell, or to say, dealing with domestic violence and even cold violence every day. She even wanted to save Xiaosi from this hell, but what right did she have to make Xiaosi leave his birth parents?

The room fell silent. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Finally, Bai Ruozhu sighed and said, "Let's think of a solution slowly. For now, let's help him as much as we can."

Her words brought a layer of comfort to everybody's heart because that was all they could do.
