Wan Caiyue was not someone who acted impulsively, but a sudden appearance of a young girl pleading desperately for her husband and even presenting his jade pendant had initially left her inevitably stricken with doubts.
However, after listening to Bai Ruozhu's explanation, Wan Caiyue calmed down, and her complexion gradually improved.
Bai Ruozhu, seeing that her sister-in-law's eyes had reddened but she had not cried, understood that she was gentle on the outside but tough on the inside. She also knew her sister-in-law's steadiness, and now seeing her completely calm, she too breathed a sigh of relief.
A short while later, Bai Zehao was found and brought back. It seemed that he had already been informed of the situation on the way, for he stormed into the yard with a livid face, only to see Xiaoning with a bruised forehead, kneeling and looking back at him with tears staining her face, a pitiable sight.
