The next morning, Bai Ruozhu found that everyone in the family was looking somewhat unwell, even Rongrong's mother's face was marked with fatigue. She felt guilty, realizing that because of her, the whole family hadn't been able to rest properly, and she considered herself to blame.
Linpinger was also very concerned about Fang Guizhi's situation. She pulled Bai Ruozhu, who had just gotten out of bed, into the main hall for questioning, not even waiting for Bai Ruozhu to brush her teeth and wash her face.
"When I went there, Guizhi was tied to a chair, with her mouth gagged, unable to sleep properly and was crying the whole time." Bai Ruozhu felt a sharp pain in her heart at the mere thought of that scene. "She was made to look like neither human nor ghost by her own mother."
